Society & Culture - 10 August 2007

I'm trying to be very opened minded. I'm a Christian. I just want to know about evolution. Somebody explain it to me how we evoled from fish. Oh and here are some questions (answer these questions before you explain evolution) If you can't answer these questions, don't even bother explaining evolution to me. If we all evolved from fish, how come we don't see mutated looking fish now? How come we don't see any species going through those phases if they really exist?? And how come we stopped evolving now??

Has anybody tried to copyright it? (That would be the limit of cheek, wouldn't it?) lol

Why do people have kids -and deticate there life to raise them and give them the best - when they are just going to grow up and do the same thing. And basically drop everything you deticated to raise their kids. What's the point? It like a constant on going cycle of meaninglessness.

"He wore biking shoes, cleated into pedal straps"

The author is describing a cyclist, who's wearing cutoff jeans and biking shoes...but I don't understand the meaning of "cleated into pedal straps"
I have to translate it into Italian...so, you could tell me the equivalent, too or just explain me what this means..
Cheers

I have never understood this. Why would god have to send his "son" so that he could forgive our sins? He is all powerful and all knowing, why couldn't we just pray to him before that and have our sins forgiven? Why did we have to give him sacrifices? Really, why could he just not say ok suzy, you are forgiven now, instead he has to be all melodramatic and have his "son" die on a wood cross.

What is going on with this mysterious character, who was singled out to judge and lead Israel into the Promised Land? Why would a religion that advocates marriage and procreation not include information about their first leader? Shouldn't Joshua have led by example?

Yeah, this is a deep one.....and am so ready for the literary persecution as well.....but if you're on the same page with me.....

I read about it in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible (I think it was Elisha, if I remember correctly) before Christ was even born.....then the Messiah came and did it a couple of times, and a couple of guys that came to know Christ also did it after He died, resurrected and rose into Heaven.....I know that this supernatural phenomenon is known as the "anointing", or the presence of God upon a person's life.....

I am wondering.....outside of defibrillators, CPR and heart injections of adrenaline.....are there any other documented accounts of someone bringing a dead person back to life by supernatural means?

Do you repeat the prayers over and over, like a broken record

OR do you speak to him like you would talk to a human being

You gotta realize: growing up encased in a conservative, pietist Christian church, I am given to emotional ideas about things. When someone tells me they are atheist, I seem to feel that they actually know a God exists; they simply like being able to act against Him. I mean, honestly, I instantly see them spitting on Jesus as he walks down that road with that cross. Moreover, I have always assumed that an atheist is uneducated on religion--if they had studied, surely they would understand. But after a rather exhaustive search, I've returned empty. Are there others, like me, who sincerely tried, but came back with nothing?

I nearly threw up when I read this googel three squeals for yourself.
if rats feel pain wouldn't babies? we use rats in science labs so they would be a perfect subsitute.

My guidebook claims that live rat embryos are a delicacy in Southern China. The dish is called Three Squeals "since the embryo squeals once when you pick it up with your chopsticks, once again when you dip it in soya sauce, and finally when you put it in your mouth..." (From China: a Travel Survival Kit, Lonely Planet, 1976)

I am referring to how certain religious ideas close people's minds and prevent them from seeing obvious truths, or seeing things from multiple points of view.

Religion, particularly a lot of members from the Abrahamic religions (that I see), seem to have a big problem when it comes to understanding the world from multiple points of view. They see black and white when it comes to certain issues.

It seems obvious that certain issues, such as gay, or transgender issues have a scientific explanation for happening. Yet religion seems to hinder people's acceptance of these things because they aren't keeping an open mind. They are not allowing enough information to be passed through their wall of _________.

Most people within the fences of religion see it as a source of love and tolerance, and that might be mostly true. But how do we help those who are victims of ignorance?

Christians say if Jesus didn't die all people would go to hell .. only his death saved them from this fate.

Because the penalty of sin is death

Why did the christian God put this injust law in the first place?

Didn't the he know that it wont't work? and that his only son will have to die?
