I read today about results of a study with Catholic priests, nuns and brothers starting at age 75. They did lots of tests over the years and determined that self-disciplined, conscientious people were the least likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. (You would think in that group of people they all should have been self-disciplined and conscientious! Did they slip in a few Wild & Crazy Guys?)

I'm wondering now about my odds of developing Alzheimer's. Self-disciplined I'm not. I'm dependable but that's not the same as conscientious.

Also, the people I've known who had the disease had all led very conservative lives. They had all been very responsible workers, parents, church goers, etc, but developed Alzheimer's in their late 70's or early 80's.

What are your thoughts on this subject?

Is this the formula for the making of the universe.?..

Nothing + Nothing = two elements + time = 92 natural elements + time = all physical laws and a completely structured universe of systems, stars, planets, and moons orbiting in perfect balance and order....... does that sound right?
somehow all this comming from nothing makes no sence to me, there has to be something outside of the realm of space, time and matter... God
If you take the simplest form of matter and break it down to its most simple form, it still has no reason for its existance in the first place?.. there has to be an outside creator...i know the red shift theory and all the big bang theories but they make no sence to me, all theories start out with matter already exsisting, no atheist gives me reasons not to beleive in God... Please give me respectful and honest answers... how is matter created and why?

They are about glasses about 5 inches tall, white wax, with Hebrew writing on the label (and thats about it). I somehow have a box of them....
Are they for a holiday? memorial?

Would it be offensive in some way if I were to donate them to a community center?

I just got hired 2 weeks ago...and I put availibility for pretty much all hours of the whole week. But now, I'm finding it hard to keep up with school because I'm working on the weekdays a lot. Do you think if I ask my manager for shifts only on friday, saturday, sunday she will let me? I mean I'm still new, so like won't she fire me or something? since she can get someone who is more available...

Something cheap...I'm on a budget, I'm trying to save up for a trip overseas.
I have one mask, it's like a devil.
I probably can go to like, Rite Aid or maybe a party store.
What should I get?
And how do I set stuff up?
Nothing too scary, there's some little kids across the street and I don't think their parents want them crying. =]

I want you to seriously consider this, let's see if we are capable of true tolerance of other people's beliefs. So imagine that your current religion doesn't exist, what would be you 2nd choice and why?

How come we have found dinosour bones, fossels etc. believed to be millions of years old? But we havent found anything that was evolving. Like half monkey half man, or whatever. Please dont tell me there are snakes with legs. We have known that was false for years.

Why is the world so crooked? Wars, abuse, hunger. For there to be good, must there be evil? Isn't there another way?

' In God We Trust Marks Fiftieth Anniversary '
After 50 years of appearing on the back of U.S. dollar bills, the words “In God We Trust” continue to be at the center of debate with some courts examining whether references to God in the public sphere violates the Constitution’s separation of church and state.

I'm not an evolutionary biologist, but I atleast read enough to understand that natural selection does not offer an explanation of the origin of life.
Why do many Christians on this forum mistakenly claim that evolution means life came from nothing? Is it a lack of education or willful ignorance?

Can someone explain these terms/beliefs to me? As in "what does someone who is agnostic believe"?

I would appreciate honest answers. I am not mocking/judging, etc. I only wish to learn more about other faiths.
Thanks.
