According to creation scientist Em Adjineri (say it out loud), the definition of a scientific theory is a random guess at explaining things, usually in a supernatural way.

However, the definition of a religion is a model that provides a logical explanation for evidence while accurately predicting future observations.

Which would you rather believe in: a random guess or a logical explanation based on evidence? The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Yet people seem to base their entire lives and moral systems on a hypothesis that they cannot even verify or falsify in principle, much less with available evidence.

Does anybody else find it extremely strange that people have so much faith in an unverifiable hypothesis?

I'm trying to understand a small and subtle detail: what is the difference between "telling the truth" and candidness. Another way of describing this is by saying that we can make statements that are truthful, but not entirely candid. For example, I could say, "I'm doing well" in response to a question about my health. In the larger scheme of my life, I may be doing well. HOWEVER, I may also neglect to mention that I had been severely sick - even though, I've recovered. In essence, I haven't told a lie. I'm doing well. But, I haven't been candid either - thereby creating a barrier between myself and the person asking the question

I work with three male co-workers and they all have September birthdays. I thought about giving them a birthday card as well as a $10-$15 giftcard inside. I've been at this job for almost a year and I would like to know if it's okay (in the sense of mannerisms) to give them a small giftcard for their favorite store or just give them birthday cards with nothing in them.

Thanks for the help. I already did get them three birthday cards from Target. I would like to give them each a $10-$15 giftcard for their favorite stores but I'm not sure.

It seems to me that the more educated a person the less likely he is to be religious and the poor families seem to embrace it. Is this because poor families are holding on to religion as their one last hope? Studies have even shown that when people go from from rags to riches that their religious beliefs go out the window. Is this because they feel their prayers have been answered or because they figured out that their hours of praying have gotten no results and their wealth was a product of their own actions?

He thinks you will:

Have some extra cash? Feel like going to heaven? Then you might consider sending Ted Haggard and his family some monthly checks for the next two years while they move into a halfway house and get psychology and counseling degrees from the University of Phoenix.

If you haven't had enough of the Haggard/New Life Church saga, this week KRDO Channel 13 in Colorado Springs aired a story about a letter that Haggard sent to consumer reporter Tak Landrock, letting him know of the Haggard family plans to move into the Phoenix Dream Center to minister to ex-cons, recovering alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, and "other broken people," Haggard writes. "I identify."......

Genesis Chapter 6
1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4. There were giants [nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

He was obviously set on the idea of building up a mormon city, or zion. The large migrations were what caused all the problems in the first place. People didn't want the mormons to take over the political vote, and they didn't want them to take over all their land. If they just stayed where they were instead of all migrating to one place they would have had a much easier time. For this reason alone, I think Joseph Smith was a fraud with his "visions" of a modern day Jerusalem. God, supposedly knowing everything, would have known a better way of doing things. They didn't then, and still haven't built a modern day Jersualem. I don't see it ever happening in the future either.

For example:
If I believe I am someone who can get through medical school, I can, right?

If I believe I can learn to do a crossword puzzle in 30 minutes, I can probably do it, right?

The difference is motivation, and self-confidence. If I believe I can get through med school, I will, because I'll have the confidence to believe I can. Same with the crossword puzzle.

So... do you think that people who are "saved" through religion actually are, because they believe they are?

Bare with me, but being "saved" is something that pertains to many very different faiths. (So if you can't look at it from the perspective of your own religion, look at it from the perspective of a different one so you can get my point. )

Do you think that people who believe they are saved through religion lead happier lives because they believe it? Are they saving themselves from themselves? From negativity? What are your thoughts?
