I think when there are Christians who are out there saying that Evolution does not occur are simply banging their heads against the wall. They are completely ignoring evidence. Of course Evolution occurs, of course Evolution leads to the development of new species there is obvious evidence. Of course there are still some things to work out in the Evolutionary theory from a Scientific standpoint but those aren't the things I see Christians talking about.

Why not talk about cosmology? Cosmology has a lot of presuppositions and "faith" based or probability based conclusions. Plus, the Big Bang theory assumes that there was a beginning marker. Also the Big Bang theory evidence is dependent on hypothetical unlimited amount of multiple universes. Scientifically speaking it is impossible for the Earth to land where it is in conjunction with its nearest star (the sun) to land in the perfect orbit and the perfect tilt in order to inhabit life.

What if I just can't believe in it all?

Time and again on this site I've heard Christians say that it's our choice as to whether we go to Heaven or Hell. But to go to Heaven I have to believe that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. I can't believe this because, try as I might, I can't find an iota of evidence for it. If I just say I accept Jesus without believing it, will I get to Heaven or am I destined to spend in eternity in Hell?

I just recieved an e-mail from a friend stating that people of color have an even # for the fifth digit of their SSN, and white people have an odd # for their fifth digit of their SSN.....so far, from the people I have polled, this is working out to be true. If so, are employers and other persons using the SSN as an indicator of ethnicity for whatever reason they choose?

One can never reason with someone that is being unreasonable. Therefore we must have religious tolerance. Who has personally killed you over a religious issue? Who has personally robbed you of freedom over a religious issue? We all know the stereo types, but do people of a different religion really oppress you? And if so, then why are you here on a religion and spirituality forum?

I am here to preach religious tolerance. No one is hurting each other over the internet, so why all the frustration and name calling? Please, practice patience with your fellow human beings.

Why is that whenever anybody asks a question to do with sex in R&S it gets 50 answers within minutes of being posted?

then why are you here? i think everyone here in some fashion is trying to prove their point, regardless of what it may be about religion and spirituality. and everyone is welcome to their own opinion. that being said, why would anyone report another person's questions or answers simply because you don't like the point that person is trying to get across. is your ability to debate that weak that you can't come up with a clever response that you actually have time to think about? if so, i'd love to meet you on the street one day and see how you handle yourself in a verbal discussion on religion. that would be a hoot!!!

I'm in college and there's this diner that's right across the street from the dorms. I go there once in a while for breakfast. Usually I either forget or I don't even think of asking anyone to come with me, usually because I'm hungry and/or my roommates all have class. Sometimes when I'm in there I see people I know and they all ask the same question "what are you doing eating by yourself?". So yea, any thoughts?

I am just interested in hearing your stories about your time spent as a Jehovah Witness. What was it like growing up? What were you restricted from doing? How has it affected your life in a negative way? What happened on the day of your birthday? Did your family say happy birthday to you? What made you realize you had to leave the cult?


I DO NOT WANT ANY JEHOVAH WITNESS TO ANSWER ME WITH QUOTES FROM THE BIBLE. I want REAL, TRUTHFUL, HONEST ANSWERS. I want ANSWERS NOT QUOTES. I repeat...I WANT ANSWERS NOT QUOTES!!!

is Salvation Jehovah's Gift or not ?

EPHESIANS 2:8-9 clearly says not
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

As does Romans 11:6

6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Thus a gift with a requirement is not a gift but a payment

So, my husband and I have 3 little kids and I am 24 and going back to school, and my husband works construction but is most likely going to be laid off because of how the housing market is going(although it is a great buyers market) so he will get unemployment and then I will get a part time job fo awhile until he can find something that pays what he is making right now, so here is my question, I was thinking 3 presents for each of the kids and they are 5 and 3 yr. old twins, and then 1 present for my nephew. Here is what I think might be the cheap part I was thinking of giving my sister and her huband, and my brother and his girlfriend 20 dollar gift cards to the Olive Garden and then maybe some candy to put in the gift bag with it, and then a 40 dollar gift card to a restaurant for my mom and dad, and a 15 dollar gift card to subway for my granparents. Tell me what you think about that, I just don't want to go overboard and then broke. Any other ideas for inexpensive gifts??

A Bible study teacher often mentioned her grown son. Her worse fear seemed to be that he was gay. She made all sorts of reasons for his behavior. She was in deep denial. I met him and I thought he was possibly gay and that his mother was going to have to face the worse nightmare of her life.
I have something(a sin by others) in my life that I have hated since I was young. It has come up time after time. I have had to deal with it over and over and over.
Why is it that the worse fears in our lives seem to happen? (For the Bible study leader it was a gay son).
It seems more than a coincidence to me. I have been crushed one to many times. Is this a test from God? Is it from satan?
