Cave paintings have been made since the Upper Paleolithic, 40,000 years ago. The oldest cave is that of Chauvet, and is 32,000 years old. How come in the Bible, man is not depicted as using stone axes and stone tools, with flint arrow heads etc?

Also, how can one explain the fact that since after the "flood", the population had to start over, which, one would presume, was some time after adam and eve, the variations in race in humans? Why are there people of all different colours and racial bone formations, especially of the skull?

Speaking of "the flood", Was Noah commanded to take one pair of each clean animal into the Ark (Gen 6:19–20) or seven pairs (Gen 7:2–3)? Did the flood last forty days (Gen. 7:17) or a hundred and fifty days (Gen 7:24)?

Also, would all the animals, including the extinct ones, have fit in the ark? And if all the land on earth was covered, where did that enormous volume of water go? seriously! It had to go somewhere! Where is it!?

Are you actively checking into where you worship......Jesus called us to be active.....Are you letting a religious group do all of your research for you?...If so ..Why would you trust your salvation to others?

not that I don't have nice legs I just don't want to show them because I don't want people to stare or guck at my legs, also i'll feel naked and like um in my underware. My best friend Wendy who is also 13 lives across the street from me. She also doesn't wear shorts either in the summer, both are Moms are constanly nagging us to start to wear shorts. Today me & my Mom went across street to visit Wendy and her Mom (Mrs. Beck) My Mom & Mrs Beck wearing their short shorts and scandals and me and Wendy were wearing pants and sneakers. Wendy starting complain how hot it was and that her thighs are sticking to her pants. my Mom & Mrs. Beck told Wendy that you should wear shorts, Wendy yelled backto her Mom and She said " I hate shorts and they look dumb", And I'm not wearing them" Mrs. Beck then said she was going in to make some lemonade for us and she told Wendy to come in help her We started to hear to Mrs. Beck & Wendy yelling at each other, I peaked in Wendy's bed rm window Mrs. Beck kept repeatingly telling Wendy to take her pants off, and put on some shorts that she bought for her.
A couple of minutes later Mrs Beck came back out with the lemonade and Wendy came out right behind her
Wendy was wearing short shorts and pair of scandals too. My Mom told Wendy" Now you getting smart" you got nice legs and look good wearing shorts. Wendy told us her Mom made her put them on . Now Wendy looks just like My Mom & Mrs Beck.

into another a pair of jeans and When I got in my room, my Mom came in and she was holding a bunch of new pairs of shorts
and she said I went shopping with Mrs. Beck, now it's your turn to put on shorts, she said it's too hot too be wearing pants all the time, how would you handle this ?

My aunt who we are staying with this summer is thinking she is 20! She dresses in tight or low jeans, and doesn't wear long enough shirts. What the main problem is (and which I am sure she is unaware of) is her underwear showing! If she bends over in front of me or my siblings, we can see her victoria secrets waistband (yes we know what brand it is!). Now, she isn't trying to be a **** or anything, because other than that causal wear, she dresses approporiately.

It seems very awkward to tell her that her panties are hanging out the back of her jeans, hence why I don't know what to say! My little sister and brother are very naughty though, as they drop stuff down her underwear without her noticing. Later she digs up coins or lego blocks from her underwear, looks confused, then continues her ways. But I feel talking to her about it is best rather than dropping stuff down her underwear or snapping her underwear! She's my aunt!

So how should I deal with this?

I'm feeling down. God blessed me with a new job that I am sooooo grateful for! But this man in my life has left me feeling really low self esteem and now my friends are making me feel bad. I feel really low about myself and weak. Positive people are at my job, but not in my personal life. Please pray that God sends me an angel or a good man in my life (possibly a future husband). Please pray that I can be strong in my current situation. Thanks guys.

I've recently realised that I'm not a very sexual person, with guys or girls. I like both, but... sex just doesn't come into it that much. And, especially in the lesbian/bi community, everyone I meet seems to have sex on their mind a lot.
Having sex with either a guy or a girl seems equally distasteful to me, although kissing is fun and so is cuddling and just being a person you really care about.
Is that normal??

It was awesome! I just wish more people would bring their kids there........the casual nudity and dancing (things kids will know anyway) just make it a more party atmosphere.....it would certainly help advance the tolerance in society

is the ensuing violence really a preferred alternative to just letting everyone live in this country without your evangelizing-through-government-channels?

I can't figure what the alternative is to A) you letting up B) everyone else conforming C) everyone else going to some magical island kingdom what offers TRUE liberty or D) violent revolution (see history of the world for more on this topic)

Is there something I am missing?

To those in R&S, when you read a comment, do you give it a thumbs up or thumbs down depending on whether you agree with the person or whether that person's comment is useful and relevant?

Isn't it our duty to be impartial with giving thumbs up or thumbs down? Wouldn't that stop a lot of anger and insults of ignorance? If a comment is useful, should we not give it a thumbs up no matter how we feel on the subject?

This forum has opposing views. Good posts are thumbs downed all the time because a certain group of people do not believe in the context of that post. Why?

Example Q&A:
Q: What are your feelings about religion?

A1: OMG I am a Hindu and Jews should be sent to an island by themselves to die!!!! 5 Thumbs up, 1 Thumbs down

A2: Religion is a cultural phenomenon marked by scriptures, including the Qur'an and the Bible. As a devout Christian, I believe that we should all be loved and accepted, but that I believe in God. I advise reading the Bible. 1 Thumbs down, 5 Thumbs up.

What I'm asking, hypothetically, is, lets say you can see something that most others can't. Now, you know this thing is real, because you can tamper with it, and it has different effects. But noone else can see it. Is it real?

I have been going through a really bad time the past two months, and I have felt very bitter about not being able to go to church and enjoy being around other Christians without having extreme panic attacks. I said some things about other Christians that, even though might have been true about a small number of Christians, isn't true of most. Many Christians are loving and good people. Please forgive my bitterness and self-pity.
