Society & Culture - 20 August 2007

If we assume that exrtaterrestrials are here on Earth, how can civilian scientists, professors, or the general public go about studying them? I would love to know more about alien society, alien biology, and extraterrestrial science/technology but I do not have an alien being who will talk to me, nor do I have a dead alien body, nor do I have any alien technology to examine. Some people believe that the government has bodies and spaceships but even if they do, the military is not likely to permit civilian scientists to examine them or let the public come and see them.
So what can a professor/scientist/researcher do to learn more about these aliens? Even if many people are convinced that extraterrestials are here, so what! It seems that we can never learn more about them in order to improve our society, our science, or even satisfy our curiosity.

I work at a convenience store, and I sometimes feel like people think I'm a loser for that. What do you think...

Okay. "Religous gene" is just a term for lack of a better one, but I saw a 20/20 special that suggested religous people may have certain genetic traits which allow them to believe in a higher power, when in actuality there is No God at all.

It would seem to make sense from a LOGICAL (there goes the word again) standpoint. NATURE desires for humans to live and procreate, plain and simple, and thus by promoting a trait that encourages us to want to live (in the hopes of an afterlife and that other good stuff) nature wins. Not saying it's true. Just saying it makes one think.

Any Christian dare to think about this for more than five seconds without crawling back to the safety of simply ignoring it?

P.S. - I'm a Christian. Just one that's willing to think. (Yes, we do exist.)

why non-muslims are so bothered because muslims girls look like Mary? yeah they were hijab on their hair, and if you go to your church and meditate in Mary's pictures there, you will notice how she shares the decent clothes with muslim girls, you just say you love her, but we muslim girls love her and make her our example, so we wear hijab,but you do not like it and mak some rules against our freedom and ban hijab in some places......again, we sooo bothered?!!!!!


if Mary (peace be upon her lives in this age, would you also compell her to take off the veil she wears in church pictures?!

Hello everyone.

I'll be studying at San Diego State University for my second year of study.

I'm going to be living in the International House and I have to get heavily involved as it has real community spirit

Has anyone got any ideas for British themed days or nights?

I have come up with so far:

British food: Fish and chips, mushy peas and tea/Cadburys chocolate

Pub crawls

Pub quiz

Bingo

If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful.

Thanks in advance to all sensible answers.

=)

TURN ON YOU and raise his bear trap like mouth, as if
toasting to your soon to be death?
will he have an attitude problem like Templeton, and a
jaw structure like a tauranasaurus?
Will he bite my arms off like JAWS gone wild,
and leave me to flutter about like a fringed butterfly?

America is the only country that circumcises young boys for non-religious reasons. The circumcision rate is huge compared to the rest of the world. Jewish and Muslim people do it for religious reasons, but not all of America is Jewish and Muslim. Why does America practice this so much and practice it for non-religious reasons?

Same goes with being deaf with sound/music.

Anyway, I'm not taking the theists side by asking this question, I just want to know your response(s), I myself don't have any good response(yet).

I don't know much of anything about the faith of Jehovah's Witnesses so I can't come to a clear sense of what is going on here. One day at work I noticed my coworker was "different". It wasn't a different behavior, or altered body language, it was something else that I picked up on. I didn't quite understand it myself so I figured "oh, intuition". So, I asked him if he was ok. He turned to me and looked at me like I had caught him doing something he wasn't supposed to and answered, "yeah why?" I said out of concern, "oh you just seem different I wanted to make sure you were alright". He gathered up his things and on his way out the door he said "I don't LIKE it when people know me like that". Not trying to sound dumb but is there maybe something in his teaching that says that a persons intuition is bad? It kind of freaked me out because he got so freaked out about it. This has happened with other people and they took it quite well and actually confided in me with their "issue".

It's true. He is giving away a free coat to all that ask. It is called a Cloak of Humility.

Here is how you get it
1) Remove your pride
2) Ask him to clothe you with it.

I must warn you, wearing this coat will cause you to see life in a whole new perspective.
Won't you get yours today?
