Society & Culture - 24 June 2007

I am am about to be a junior in high school, and lately my mom and a mutual friend(15 years older than me, about the same younger than my mom) have been telling me that I am dressing to attract lesbians. Most of my summertime outfits consist of either daisy duke shorts and a wifebeater, or other tank top or short sleeve shirt, or baggy shorts and print button up shirts. I almost never wear skirts and I never ever wear "girly" clothes, i.e. lacy or lots of pink or ribbons, et cetera. I don't feel comfortable in skirts or other girly clothes, but I am very much attracted to guys. I have a hard time believing that guys can actually see anything in me, though, so while I have many guy friends I have never had a boyfriend. I recently cut my hair, so it's only about three inches long now. I am afraid that I will seem to be a lesbian, so guys won't even think about seeing anything in me but a friend. I don't want to change, but I just don't know what to do. Thank you!

1) no one to answer to...
2) if you don't like someone it doesn't matter why...

1)You tell me how something as tiny as an atom could 'explode' and create the universe that we live in today
2)You tell me how the proteins needed to create a living cell just 'happened' to come together and form a cell
3)You tell me how, if these proteins did make a cell, they formed something so complex as you and me
4)One of the laws of science is that something living CAN NOT come out of something not living. Now supposing that the universe was created from a big bang, that atom had nothing living in it at all. So where did life come from?

Don't say by chance!!
Because:
A living cell is so complex that its interdependent parts stagger the mind and defy evolutionary explanations. A small cell contains over 60,000 proteins of 100 different combos. The chances of any of these 'just coming together' is 1 in 104,478,296.
So what are the chances? 1 in 10,000,000,000 ??

Need more evidence??

I think it's a mix of both. We are abolishing old values and norms like no sex outside of marriage,no children out of wedlock, dating out of you're age group. It seems like we are super-dependant on technology.

According to evolve theory- the world sprays out mutants and the process of natural selection keeps the best suited.

But everything goes in cycles- heats up--cools down--lots of vegatation--lots of land. These are long cycles--over thousands of years the earth heats up..solar radiation increases... but the selection process is done in the short span of a man's lifetime-- say--30 years.

How does nature know how to select the right specie in a 20 year period that will be the best selection a hundred thousand years later?

Reversability says the fluctuations over a man's lifespan are vastly greater than the gradient of nature's progress. So hairless men die on a very cold day but the survivors die on very hot days-- that's reversability--there's is no arrow of evolution to point the way to natural selection

Face it- many young blacks die from a bullet-what are the odds nature intends to evolve black males into an armor-plated thing to survive bullets?

Does Intelligent Design theory include the possiblity that our universe was intended by its designers to be FREE of life, but became accidentally contaminated by DNA? Perhaps our universe is a FAILED design?

He was 85 years old and had been ill... It's a distant relative of a close friend, but he lived near by and was always around, so our friend is crushed.

Also, my spouse doesn't always get along with one of this friends' family members... is it fair to ask him to come? How should he act?

Why do people think believers think the world is only 6000 years old??

First we know the earth has been here for atleast 5000, because of the written texts.

BUT!!! You have to factor in the years it took God to make the world, and of course, the years it took man to populate the earth....

so again, why do people think believers(christians, Jews, Muslims) think the world is only 6000 years old???

This great article, "How Not To Convert An Atheist" http://www.ebonmusings.org/atheism/hownot.html from Sinister Cat got me thinking....

What do Christians find most irritating when being talked to about their faith? I would assume #1 would be "We're not all bible literalists!!!"

What bugs you? (And check the link - it's a great article)

and not moderate Muslims. . ..do they think the Devil likes or dislikes what they do? Does the Devil hate that they kill or love that they kill?..If the Devil loves destruction and death, which I think is his first love...then who do the radical Musllim worship God , the Devil, or neither? Maybe they just worship themselves and the power they yield over each other.

Geologists view crude oil and natural gas as the product of compression and heating of ancient organic materials over millions of years...

But if the earth is only 6000 years old, how can we possibly have oil? And if God "just made it" why doesn't he just make more?

Genesis 32:25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob's hip was put out of joints as he wrestled with him.

And I was told Jacob was wrestled with God. So Genesis 32:25-29 show that Jacob was on the powerful end.

So my question,

Is Jacob of Genesis 32 more powerful than God of Genesis ?
