1. Punctuated equilibrium: Which posits that evolution amongst sexually reproducing species takes place in rapid bursts, separated by long periods of stasis, in which little change occurs.

2. Phyletic gradualism: Which states that most evolution occurs uniformly and by the steady and gradual transformation of whole lineages (anagenesis). In this view, evolution is seen as generally smooth and continuous.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

The real seniors are fair, non competitive, kind, don't do thumbs down unless an answer uses profanity. They do not judge you. They enjoy each other. We have a great one on here who is willing to help us when we are in trouble. We have people with great imagination and spirit.

So, thank you. Does anyone wish to comment and share their reasons for liking Senior Citizen site?

how can Christ give you a free gift and then just take it away or allow you to forfeit it - don't you then belong to Him? then if you belong to him, then he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself? why is that so hard to understand. Once you belong to Him does He ever let you go? Don't you always belong to Him?

11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Let's get behind her and pray for her.
Believers and unbelievers alike.(Never with fear.) (Never with unbelief) (not in sorrow.) Only in:
Joy,
Peace,
Great Hope,
Love,
Good Will.

We truly miss her presence here on R&S.

Good bless you "Gnostic!"
Our deepest love.

I've been told by Christians that the purpose of life is to praise God. Is God, an all-powerful being, so insecure that he needs to make intelligent life just so they can praise Him? Isn't that a bit of a boring reason to live?

All opinions welcomed.

Are we raising a generation of wimps or what? Kids are being so overprotected, when we grew up, we watched a mouse and a cat beat the hell out of each other, and now when there violence on TV parents throw a fit. When we were bullied in school we stood up for are selves, Now when a kid is bullied he runs and to his mom and dad and acts like wimp and cries. When we got in trouble are parents sided with the authority. Not fight it. Are we raising a generation of wimps or what?

If so, please give theological reasons for this. If Muslims do use those titles, please explain what Muslims understand those titles to mean. Thanks.

----WE ARE NOT talking about eggs(3 parts) & water(3 forms) existing at the same time BUT of God & Christ & their relationship?
--WE IN FACT are talking about the 2 greatest & different personages( Jehovah & Christ), with qualities of love, wisdom , power , justice in a family relationship of Father & Son, are we not?
--WHEN JESUS used illustrations he always was CAREFUL that the illustration did indeed make sense and have a reasonable application to each other!
--WHAT CORRELATION do eggs or water have in relation to the family arrangement of father & Son, where love, kindness, appreaciation, etc. are the main ingredients to anything having to do with family?

-ARE WE TO assume that the yoke of the egg has love & goodness available to be expressed to the shell or egg whites?
-ILLUSTRATIONS ARE worthless if they do not reasonably match in similarities to each other--is that not so?
-SHOULD we accept any idea in proving the unreasonable teaching of the trinity---no matter what?
