Some insect species undergo various transformations in different phases of their lives. For instance, this small caterpillar will soon draw back to its cocoon after deriving energy feeding on leaves, and undergo a series of transformations. When it gets out of its cocoon, it will be a bright colored butterfly able to fly. This process called metamorphosis is an example of design which evolution can never explain. This is because such a progressive and complex process can in no way be explained by coincidences.

Even a single mistake in a single stage of
metamorphosis would cause the animal to die. This perfectly designed process is an apparent evidence of creation.

This question is asking do you believe that it is right for humans to put evoloution in their own hands? With I.V.F treatment and cloning are we trying to evolve to soon?

I don't know why is the obsession of bringing verses from the bible trying to misinterpret it!

Please use your time reading others books if you don't think is God's word!

If I were Atheist, I would not pay attention to the bible!

However, I believe that the Bible is the word of God!

ah let me *drink* auhh thanks

I am not a racist, but I am sick of these double standards.

This girl wore a black power symbol over an image of Africa on stage and broadcasted by NBC.

If a white guy wore a similar shirt but advertising white power he would have been censored and all over the news.

http://www.nbc.com/americas_got_talent/v...



This symbol is most certainly a racist symbol just as the swastika and confederate flag are. Saying to wear this is uplifting to the Black community is ignorant.

Black Power adherents believed in racial separation, black nationalism, and the necessity to use violence as a means of achieving their aims. Off shoots of this belief include the "Black Supremacy" group.

In America, churches must take donations from parishioners, and have bake sales, and things like that. I was told that Europeans didn't understand why we had to do that in America, and that in Europe, the government gives money to the churches.

One of my professors who visited Europe said the churches were big and expensive, but there may only be a handful of people go! Whereas here, if there were only a handful of people going to the church, the church would have to be small and simple, because they couldn't afford a big church.

Is this true?

I was watching tv and an interview of Harrison Ford was shown and he was sporting an earing. I have seen guys around town in the same age group also wearing earings. I just think its a sad attempt to be cool or hold on to their youth. Yes they have the right to do so (thats not the question here), because they have the right, does that mean they should?

Why do people who aren't interested in the occult, ALWAYS assume that witchcraft has shades of only black and white?

Seeing as this is the case in nothing including witchcraft, it always annoys me. Seeing that to be purely white, it would have to be completely selfless, and to do whats known as black magick is something as simple as it being selfish. To me it shows there is no white magick, only varying shades of Gray to black.

Any other views on this?

We let this cousin of ours set up his FEMA camper in our yard after Hurricane Katrina. It has been coming up on 2 years and he makes no move to go find an apartment. He just sits out there on his wide as-s and now has a sullen attitude toward us. What would you do to get him out of your yard? What a damned freeloader!

I was recently hurt by this guy and I am really angry. I am a christian and I am battling heavily with the devil because I want this guy to pay for what he did. He slept with me under the pretense that we were together and then in the middle of the act hhe got really rough (sexually) and I told him to stop. When he did he was like I have to go. and then he said he and the mother of his child are really trying to work things out and he has no feelings for me and its not his fault I have feelings for him. He said he bet if he ask me to go at it again I would because I'm weak when it comes to him. Then he was like lets do it again and I was like hell no and he was like wow you stronger than I thought. After that night I sat down and plotted his murder. I was going to kill him. I walked with my weapon every day but I never saw him. Meanwhile I was praying for deliverance because I didn't want to go to jail (I am a single mother so my child would have suffered the most). Finally STAY TUNED!

Don't say "life after death;" the phrase is oxymoronic and meaningless as well as non-biblical.

"Immortal soul" is not biblical. Egyptian religions, on which Judaism and Christianity are largely based, taught that the afterlife required food and drink buried with the mummy, since body and soul were transcended by the "khu," which had characteristics of both body and soul but had potential to transform into an Osiris (c.f. "the likeness of Christ").

Are there theologians who emphasize the adjective "eternal" while conceding that "life" refers to life in the here and now of reality? In that reading of the phrase, the point may be that the life you are living right now is to have the characteristics implied by the adjective "eternal." Who are the theologians who are putting this concept forward?

The phrase "post mortem" survival of the ego" is more precise than "eternal life" etc., however it seems regrettable to have to lean on Latin etc. instead of clear English.

Serious question. Their opinion of interpretation of scripture may be that homosexuality is a sin.

However, do they not realize that the only ultimate authority on scripture is God. Do they believe themselves to be God when pronouncing judgement on others', based on their opinion of interpretation?

And why do they single out homosexuality when pretending to be God, and interpreting the Bible literally? The literal interpretation of the Bible also states that the divorced (adulterers) are going to hell...along with the obese, (gluttons), those that are bankrupt, (stealing), those that drink to much coffee or pop, (excesses).

Why do they give all of their attention to the homosexuals? Could it be, this is a temptation for many more people, than actually will admit it...(Ted Haggard, Jim Bakker, Jim Mcgrevy, etc..).

So, why are fundamentalists so obsessed with the homosexual? Why are they concerned with the actions of two consenting adults in privacy?

I object to hereditary morarchy on grounds of equality of opportunity. Here is a public job which there can be no equality of opportunity to occupy. But I have two more specific points.

Charles breaks from the tradition of dull and nondescript monarchy which has been the benign and inoffensive pattern since George V. I can imagine George VI, the late Queen Mother, the Princess Royal or the Queen queuing in Tesco before racing back to the Palace to use their Tupperware. They would hardly stand out among the hordes of ageing middle-class shoppers. But Charles with his perfectly tailored suits and 50-years out of date accent is a social anachronism.

The other point is that he uses his position to express and promote idiosyncratic views on architecture and the environment (among other things) which would never make the local rag without the royal imprimatur.

He's a slightly able, well-meanng sort. I couldn't possibly dislike him. But I don't want Charles III R on my coins.

Genesis 4:3-5
3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (KJV)
