You don't know what to believe?
I would say most Christians don't worry if the world blows up today tommorrow 2012 2029 because we trust the Lord everyda,y and the Lord says BE READY everyday for his return. If Science tells you thier is a good chance the world will blow up in 20 years then are you making preparations for an Asteroid hit? stocking up on water, flash light underground bunker,MRE's?
You say you trust Science so what are you doing to prepare?

Why can't atheists and Christians get along on this site?

I am an atheist and I just want you to know I respect your beliefs. Not all atheists are like that and there are disrespectful people on both sides.

Can't we just agree to disagree?

my bfs friend was in a state of distress about 6 months ago. his relationship failed,leaving him homeless bc they lived together, & he was having a really tough time. we let him stay at our apartment under a temporary basis.But then he just kind of moved in.One night he opened the door & started lugging all of his things into our spare bedrm.He gave us $300 for the room(& continues to pay every month).It was all bad from the start, but i felt unable to complain because he was my bf's friend,& was going through tough times.He uses everything of ours.The only things he has that are his are his clothes, underwear and some toiletries,other than that he uses (and breaks, and dirties) our dishes, pots, pans, bath towels, LOOFAH SPONGES! I mean come on right?He tells his friends that its his apartment&offers girls our food & wine.He comes in at 2-5 am waking us up every other night.Now him &his girl got back together,&she comes over every day &night. How do I polietly get rid of this moocher?

If I am reincarnated, I want to live my next life backwards!

You start out dead and get that out of the way right off the bat.

Then, you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day.

When you are kicked out of the home for being too healthy, you spend several years enjoying your retirement and collecting benefit checks.

When you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years or so, getting younger every day until pretty soon you're too young to work.

So then, you go to high school: play sports, date, drink, and party.

As you get even younger, you become a kid again.

You go to elementary school, play, and have no responsibilities.

In a few years, you become a baby and everyone runs themselves ragged keeping you happy.

You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, spa-like conditions: central heating, room service on tap.

Until finally...You finish off as an orgasm.

I rest my case

The term 'atheist' is often used as shorthand for someone who subscribes to the theory of evolution as the explanation for variation across (and within) species. On average there is likely a very strong positive correlation between atheism and acceptance of the theory (probably very close to 100%) . However, the two are not synonymous and often rhetoric on this forum perpetuates this false dichotomy.

I'm curious if there are any atheists who do not subscribe to the theory of evolution as the best explanation for the the origin of mankind.

I think children are really good indicators of human nature because adults are "society trained" so their true nature is masked... My observations of children:

*For kids: most of them are cruel to animals and other children and follow a herd mentality... they tend to pick on the weaker kids UNLESS adults tell them/train them not to.
*Kids are selfish...
*They always whine: NO FAIR! and are jealous of what other kids have.
*At the same time, they don't mind pointing out truths - they are honest.
*There is always the "sweet" kid that seems to be good natured.
*There is almost always the dominant kid that all the other kids follow.
*There is always an outcast or two who get picked on or get rejected.

I personally think it is not very courteous to leave all the other applicants waiting and wondering whether they got the job or not, a simple standard email response is all it takes. Trying to make a decision about one's next job choice requires two-way communication between the employers and prospective employees. How many of you share this pet peeve of mine

21 22 yrs from now..
Many people will still be around then I assume
MOSCOW: An asteroid, discovered in 2004, could pose a threat to Earth in 2029, the director of the Russian Institute of Astronomy said.

Boris Shustov said at an international space forum in Moscow on Monday that the Apophis asteroid, which is due to cross Earth’s orbit in 2029 at a height of 27,000 km, under certain conditions hit earth in 2029.

Will you be able to get all your *Life's Meaning* done in 20 years?

I'm still surprised that I have to pay $1.00 to buy a bottle of water. Who'd have ever thought that bottling drinking water would have been profitable?

And cell phones! They are a pain in the rear but we have to have them now or our relatives fuss and fume because they can't get in touch with us instantly.

I'm not talking about world politics or anything heavy-duty here. Just the everyday life changes.
