My friend's family is a Jehovah Witness and they won't allow her to celebrate her birthday ..... why ? She's been crying all day in class because her parents won't let her have a birthday party and I don't think it's fair . I mean it is her birthday so why can't she celebrate it ? Why can't she have fun on the day that she was born ?

Claim CB350, or the claim that sex cannot have evolved is something that creationists use a lot against evolution. Lets see what talk origins says against this claim:

It starts by saying:
"The variety of life cycles is very great. It is not simply a matter of being sexual or asexual. There are many intermediate stages. A gradual origin, with each step favored by natural selection, is possible (Kondrashov 1997)."

This appeal to authority sites Alexey Kondrashov. If you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sex and search for his name, you will find the "deterministic mutation hypothesis" which he created. In the last paragraph you see that "there has been much criticism of

Kondrashov's theory, since it relies on two key restrictive conditions." In other words, Kandrashov should not be considered an expert as talk origins has considered him by citing his work.

Talk origins continues:
"The earliest steps involve single-celled organisms exchanging genetic information; they need not be distinct sexes. Males and females most emphatically would not evolve independently."

In an attempt to debunk the proposed argument, they attempt to attack one of the weaker arguments. In other words, instead of focusing on the evolution of sex, they focus on the fact that there is no need for males and females to evolve independently. So what? That doesn't support their argument.

Talk origins finishes:
"Sex, by definition, depends on both male and female acting together. As sex evolved, there would have been some incompatibilities causing sterility (just as there are today), but these would affect individuals, not whole populations, and the genes that cause such incompatibility

would rapidly be selected against."

This conclusion deviates from the argument, because ultimately it didn't answer how sexual organs were slowly created, and how the switching between asexual and sexual reproduction happened. In other words, it never got around to explaining what the intermediate stages actually were.

Why Don't they?? He's the "Creator of us". You guys should believe in him if you don't. It doesn't matter what you call him. Just believe...

After watching way too many Ghost Hunters episodes, I have become nearly convinced that they exist. I'm a skeptic, but some of the evidence they present on the show is pretty convincing, especially their live show on Halloween. The conundrum is, that admitting that ghosts exists one must also admit that there is an afterlife. That of course opens up all the other problems discussed here.

So, what do you think about ghosts or the Ghost Hunters television show?

I just got a violation notice for my answer to a question.

The answer I gave was "cool."
Someone asked how 10,000,000,000 Christians could be wrong for believing in God.

How is my answer a violation of anything?

All I did was list a few of the MANY parrallells between jesus and Horus the Egyptian God of the Sun and *pow* my answer is deleted.
It did'nt violate the TOS (in fact Yahoo is going to re-enstate my points and remove the violation asap) so I must conclude that pointing out the truth about their myths and legends must be the greatest sin one can commit.
Am I right or not?

In Orthodox Christianity, icons are never worshippord, but they are honored or venerated. The Second Commandment says, "You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything the is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"(Ex. 20:4,5). The warning her is (1) that we are not to image things which are limited to heaven and therefor unseen, and (2) we never bow down to or worship created, earthly things such as the golden calf. Does this condemn all imagery in worship? The Bible speeks for itself, and the answer is no. Just five chapters after the giving of the Ten Commandments,God, as recorded in Exodus 25, gives His divine blueprint, if you will, for the tabernacle. Specifically in verses 19 and 20, he commands images of cherubim to be placed above the mercy seat. Also, god promises to meet and speak with us through this imagery! Ex. 25:22 It is not true imagery which is condemned in Scripture, but false imagery.

This really bugs me! What do you think of it? I don't like it or understand it. Any info. would be appreciated! I think men and women are equals - unique and different but equal and extremely valueable! Doesn't this practice demean women?

I'm so sick and tired of seeing these stupid questions posted by black females asking white guys if they would ever date them. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? First of all, the fact that you would need encouragement from the oppisite sex on whether they would be willing to date you or not, gives off the impression that you don't have a very high self esteem level to begin with, and I'm willing to bet that most guys go for girls with a little self confidence whatever race they may be. Secondly you make it seem as if every black girl is dying for attention from white guys. As if! There are many attractive men found in every race and white guys really aren't the hottest commodites. Also, when your attracted to someone does the colour of their hair ever dim your affection towards them? No? Well, the color of your skins just as irrelevent when it comes to pursuing a relationship with someone, and if the person your attracted to feels otherwise then you don't need someone like that in the first place!

Supposing you and your colored friend (or you alone) go to a restaurant to have a good dinner. In the restaurant there are two rooms - an A/C room & one without it. The A/C room is full of white people, but there are two or three tables vacant.The non-A/C room has colored people like Chinese, Mexicans and South Asians - but no whites.

Which room will you chose to have dinner in?


NOTE: The white people are not having a party or social meeting - it just happened like that & the restaurant does not generally discriminate based on race.

Would you believe that its really Jesus?

No more terrorism, a society that will get along the elimination of many crimes and poverty. We have an upcoming presidential election, why are so many people looking for Hillary to be president> first she tells the masses what they want to hear, and many people loved her husband as president. Will she deliver with positive results? Highly doubt it.
But a world leader that could accomplish those things I would say the masses of people globally would embrace and worship him...

You deny GOD and Jesus Christ you, then are putting your faith in a human being a *Great Leader* who will accomplish these great things for the world

I am just saying, if a person comes on scene that gives you positive results in addition to performing miracles by your comments you will think he is GOD, so my question is what makes you think he won't be Satan?
