The idea that there is no God is mathematically impossible. Basic probability tells you that the odds of a blob of primordial ooze morphing into a man, regardless of how much time has passed, are so remote that mathematicians regard it as impossible. Emile Borel and Fred Hoyle are just two mathematicians who reject evolution on statistical grounds. It idea is a "Statistcal Immposibility". For example, it is theoretically possible that you could blow up a junk yard and all the flying pieces would land and form themselves into a Cadillac - that is possible. But the odds against it are so high that it constitutes a "Statistcal Immposibility". Same goes for evolution. That only leaves one possibility: God. There's your proof, mathematically arrived at. Comments anyone?

In an interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Louis Farrakhan said the following in response to host Tim Russert's question on the Nation of Islam's teachings on race:

"You know, it’s not unreal to believe that white people—who genetically cannot produce yellow, brown or black—had a Black origin. The scholars and scientists of this world agree that the origin of man and humankind started in Africa and that the first parent of the world was black. The Qur'an says that God created Adam out of black mud and fashioned him into shape. So if white people came from the original people, the Black people, what is the process by which you came to life? That is not a silly question. That is a scientific question with a scientific answer. It doesn't suggest that we are superior or that you are inferior. It suggests, however, that your birth or your origin is from the black people of this earth: superiority and inferiority is determined by our righteousness and not by our color." [1]
Pressed by Russert on whether he agreed with Elijah Muhammad's preaching that whites are blue-eyed devils, Farrakhan responded:

"Well, you have not been saints in the way you have acted toward the darker peoples of the world and toward even your own people. But, in truth, Mr. Russert, any human being who gives themself over to the doing of evil could be considered a devil. In the Bible, in the Book of Revelation, it talks about the fall of Babylon. It says Babylon is fallen because she has become the habitation of devils. We believe that that ancient Babylon is a symbol of a modern Babylon, which is America."
While Malcolm X was a member of the Nation of Islam he also preached that black people were genetically superior to white people.

"Thoughtful white people know they are inferior to Black people. Even Eastland knows it. Anyone who has studied the genetic phase of biology knows that white is considered recessive and black is considered dominant."

Original Sin seems to be passed on through generations like a genetical disease, and if we don't accept Jesus in our heart along our lives, we'll be doomed. Nevertheless, I keep getting that young kids or babies that die, go straight to Heaven, cause they don't have the ability to grasp the concept of God, Hell, Heaven or whatever.
My question is: Are we born with the Original Sin? If not, at what age do we get it?

Personally I say no, as the Bible is religious dogma with no discernible educational value. However in school we were allowed to read whatever we wanted to in our free time, some people read the bible. I don't see why people would be against that as it was not forced upon the entire class and they were not trying to prosthelitize anyone.

I was raised a Catholic. My husband and I were unable to be married in the Catholic Church, and I know that they do not recognize a "Justice of the Peace" kind of marriage. Are we still able to get a child we had together baptized in the Catholic Church?

This person that can see them has absolutely no involvement in any kind of occult activity, and I don't intend that to be read in a negative way, just informationally speaking. I looked at "similar questions" and when they said that this or that color meant a certain quality, it didn't match up at all with this situation. In this situation, each person has a particular color around them, and that color never changes, ever. We have tried to find similarities in people that have the same color aura -- no luck. Personally, I view it as another state of reality that most people don't see or don't know how to see. Don't know if I would prefer "scientific" answer or other, just the truth as you see it. Call me closed-minded if you will, and I'm afraid some of you will, but the person in question (and myself) are both strong Christians, no questions asked, if that makes a difference.

I'm thinking that genetics might be to blame because there's people that just look poor. It's not their clothes or surroundings, they just look somehow inferior. Why is this?

Some people get verses from the Quran out of context and use them to prove that Islam is a voilent religion,

Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.

Does this sound voilent to you?

Does that sound something taken out of context?

You don't know the sentence before that or the sentece after it.
Or if its said from the Quran.

Its actually from the bible.
Matthew 10:34

See you can pull that trick on any religion.

first of all why do people want or go to africa and yet talk bad about it, especially white people. and this stupidness that africa can't survive without the white men who ever thinks that is stupid. because africa was far better off than when white people came about, to me all white people know is to steal, and destroy look at what you did to africa and and north and south america. And then you guys go into people's land and think you own it please. , and as for the killing of white workers in south africa why are white people there you should be in europe, and leave africa for the africans and if africa is so bad why do we have diamonds growing under our lands and no other place does because god has blessed africa, and white people need to learn to stop stealing from people thats the only way you guys know how to get ahead, Look at what white people did to the natives and now in canada they have to fight for their own lands, you guys are devious within .its just your nature

I've seen a few questions asking about whether or not God created evil and I thought this question might be relevant. Can people (or God) understand good without understanding evil? If goodness is an attribute of God, does that mean evil must be one of His attributes to? How else could He understand good?

With the 10th anniversary of her death approaching and all the media coverage, it just got me wondering. I always admired her and loved to read about her, see pictures of her and still do. But I was just hoping there was someone on here who may have had the opportunity to see her in person or meet her, that could tell me if she was a kind or as beautiful as she always seemed. Thanks.
