Scientists have demonstrated that honey bees were first brought to the New World by Spanish explorers in the fifteenth century, but the Book of Mormon, in Ether 2:3, claims they were introduced around 2000 B.C. What evidence do Mormons use to back this up and prove scientists wrong about the Spanish introducing honey bees?

Through what medium does God communicate (visual, auditory, tactile, events etc.)?

What is the nature of these communications? What message does God send you? What message do you send God?

How often do you communicate with God? When was the first communication and the most recent?

Why do you think you communicate with God while some others can't or may not even want to?

Do you think that all who proclaim to be Christians on R&S actually are?

I would suggest that you investigate some of their answers to other questions and even check out some of their questions.

Don't need to over-compensate?
Don't need to prove to the world?

What does that say about certain religious groups?
Though please keep in mind that directing at religious groups does not necessarily mean directing at religion itself. There's a fine distinction that many religious folks fail to realize or acknowledge.

Just like how religious groups are all up in other people's business, picketing and aggressively violating other people's privacy and space etc, such as at abortion clinics or gay & lesbian businesses etc, why not non-religious groups be all up in religious folks' face at their homes, churches, etc?! Protesting how they have contributed to many wars and deaths, child molestations, abusing those whom religious protestors have been attacking, etc.

Same goes for peta, why not non-peta groups be all up in peta's face like at their offices, centers, homes, work buildings etc?!

I have recently been reading a lot of quotes and texts related to Buddhism and I really like what it teaches, but I am not Buddhist, I am Christian. I do know that Buddha was a philosopher and not held in such high regards as an actual deity, but I also know that some people probably do think of him as a god and I don't want to start thinking that way so I've been trying to avoid getting too much into Buddhist teachings. Do any other Christians out there think that the connection between Christianity and Buddhism is very close in the way that Jesus and Buddha both teach peace and kindness to your fellow man, and if so, do you put to practice any Buddhist teachings?

Being the highly involved, driven and thirsty for knowledge individual that I am, I have started writing letters to people that I feel I have something to contribute to, and in the process possibly benefit from. This includes authors, politicians, musicians, athletes (The Tiger Woods' of the athletic world, not the Michael Vicks'), writers, and many others. There are several things I'm unsure of though, and your help would be appreciated. I do not know if there are any special procedures or 'unwritten' guidelines I should follow when writing to them. Further more, I don't know if I should write the letters or type them. I feel that I should use my discretion, as typed letters may be misconstrued as spam/trash and ignored. I feel ignorant asking these questions, but I really don't know. Anything you have to contribute would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am not fat, but I am sick of two things: Americans getting called fat everywhere around the world, and fat people getting made fun of.

For example, that well known video of that boy on the ride who almost falls out of the seat and is screaming for his life gets put on Australias funniest home videos? On YouTube all people can do is laugh? This kind of stuff just makes me sick and people who laugh like that make society a horrible place. I just felt the need to express that.

Seems we praise single moms alot for all the hard work they do and thats good and all but does this encourage these situations. Its impossible to know if a relationship will work out or not but if you are with a guy who wants nothing to do with a child that he fathered then you have a absolutely terrible judge of character and must have took him to the bed for just how cute he was.

(I was unsure where to place this question, so I simply asked it in my default forum) If you knew it was clean, healthy, and genetically perfect, would you be willing to eat a cloned side of beef? If you could grow a "chunk" of flesh from your own skin, would you eat it in a survival or travel situation?
