"If you found a painting, you would know that the painting did not choose it's own color. Since nothing can pick it's own color, and since colors are abundant in the universe, there must be a supreme painter, or God"

I mean it's just a theory right? So why do we bother even teaching it? I am talking about the theory of gravity of course, I mean why teach something that is just a theory while ignoring other theories. I propose that we start teaching the alternative to the theory of gravity. Intelligent Falling. Now of course if you can't tell I'm being sarcastic here, but I wanted creationist to hear just how dumb they sound to us. Any thoughts?

Remember I paid back my husband for his trick playing and I said I'd tell you soon? This is what I did.
He doesn't like spiders. Before anyone says I was cruel with my trick, it was just for fun and he laughed as much as me afterwards.

I picked 11 tomato stalks( you know they look a bit like spiders) then I taped them to the bottom sheet on his side of the bed with clear tape. He only had the bedside light on and no glasses when he pulled back the covers to get in. He thought the bed was crawling with spiders! lol

My question: Do you think his punishment was fair game?

So my professor is giving the option of either, 15 hrs of volunteer work and one 5 page paper or 3 in class paper.

So I'm debating on whether or not to try volunteering, last semester I had her and did the in-class papers, and was stressed trying to remember all she said in class and studying along with other classes. But I'm not really a people person I'm (introverted), but I think it would be good experience for me and it would look good on my resume, now I'm debating on whether to choose a service where I'm involved with people or without people, it's crucial to the paper we right.

So any thought or opinions/suggestions?

I havent really been paying attention to this case until a few days ago. I know this is a very controversial issue and that it is most likely going to further plunge the racial boundary between some black and white Americans even deeper. But for those racists who come here bashing those black boys.... you all are really pathetic. This Jena is a racist town, might I add. How come no one is doing anything about the black guy who got hit on the head with a bottle? I heard the white victim who got beat up got out of the hospital the same day and was even able to attend prom? Why should six boys spend the rest of their lives in jail because they beat up one boy (MOST LIKELY FOR his HARRASSMENT towards them!). Why is the jury consisted of ONLY WHITES (did I mention this is a racist town?) Earlier today, someone tried to compare this Jena case to the one where a black woman was abused by those 6 whites. That is entirely different!!!!
What are your thoughts?

I've done the counting and stats on this...out of 100 posts, 92 (that I've counted) have been arguments for/against Christianity? Why do you think Christianity is the most talked about subject on this forum and not some other religion? We could just as easily argue the beliefs for or against some other religion...why choose to argue about Christianity?

Serious question, I'm very interested in your thoughts on this.

This is perhaps my LAST question(s)

(in fact its not only a question, its a farewell from me since my other questions got deleted and I couldnt read most of the answers)

Before I go, I will pay my last respects to my good friends and contacts and everyone reading this

I will request to think with their pure hearts, about the lives of all those unfortunate individuals who have been pushed back, not given a chance to prove their worth and potential. I request everyone to charitize and forget prejudice break the wall around oneself that keeps one from being what one should be

Dont give racial prejudice a chance.Dont let poverty remain a norm for all those suffering from it.Every bit of goodhearted service helps make this world a better place.Spread the love

Light a candle in your heart for everyone who wanted to live a life the more fortunate had hindered them from

I bid all of you goodbye

& a grand THANK YOU to all my wonderful contacts whom I will miss soooo much :(

Is a possibility of CLimate Changes coming from the SUN.
Honeybees and Sunspots may be interacting
in November of bees mysteriously disappearing. Not just one or two, but entire colonies of tens of thousands of bees at a time. As temperatures have warmed and it has become safe to open hives, the extent of losses is grave:
Sunspots follow an approximate 11-year cycle, corresponding to increases in solar activity. This solar activity causes geomagnetic effects during the peaks, but effects on earth’s magnetic field also occur during the minimums. Using these observations, scientists have predicted that the next solar maximum, expected to peak in 2010 to 2012, could be the most intense ever
if this were not enough, the results imply that bees can perceive quarks, thereby interacting with the quantum world without disturbing it in the ways both observed and predicted by quantum theory
QUANTUM Conscious Observer that manifested reality? GOD....
Thoughts?

Or perhaps he's as subtle as the serpent?

Why hasn't he shown his powers to crowds in despair? Why won't divine manna rain on famine-ridden Africa?

Why are those godly tricks only recorded in the Bible (and some humans even manage to see and talk to God)?

Why does the rest of the expansive known universe exist if Earth is the only planet with life and is a gift from a god?

If you are Christian and believe there may be life on another world somewhere, please tell how you came to that thought and if it has any biblical reference.

If you DO have a reason WHY there is this expansive universe please tell how you came to that thought and if it has any biblical reference.

Thanks in advance and please just answer the question/questions asked. If you would like to ask me a question, post it as a question in the forum.
