Ok...I want to know:

1.) Atheist/anyone who believes in evolution, evidence of evolution, I know some, but please, list your sources, and what your evidence is.

2.) Creationists, I would like to know your own evidence, quote your book if need be, but I would much prefer empirical evidence. Once again, site your sources and list your reasons why.

Please no insults, and if the only thing you can say is, "Look it up yourself," please do not respond. Let the games begin!!

You both (not talking about everyone before you get mad at me to) ask questions that are intentionaly to piss off the opposite side why? your as bad as each other! cant you ask questions without using words that´ll make people feel that your getting at them? and why do you have to keep asking "how can you believe in somethings thats not real" etc.. i know you dont believe in god but the bible only trys to teach people to be kind, good and make wise decisions (i have read the bible and attended Christian school most of my life, before you throw that at me like you do so many others) so stop putting it down. you dont have to believe if you dont want to, i believe if your good and kind of course you´ll go to heaven or where ever it is we go (just hope its a nice place) cant you both please ask questions without harrassing the other side? it makes you both a damanding and religious enforcing people and isnt that what your questioning against?

Ok...please, just give me your reasons on why you think the Bible is right, either partially or totally. Please no scripture quotes if you can help it. I just want your own words on WHY it's right, WHY every other god/deity is wrong, and why YOUR'S is right. If it's emotional put that down, and if you have ANY empirical reasoning, please site and tell. Thank you.

Do you dismiss everything that you have not personally laid eyes on? and since Scientists have not figured everything about GOD the Universe and life out what makes you think *You* have?

I think your denial of GOD is more of a personal choice due to your belief that religions is the cause of all bloodshed...

And if you did believe GOD was the creator of the universe would you still reject Monotheistic Faiths?

Lastly why do you think GOD owes it to you that he exsists? you are going to die and fail to exsist, so isn't your responsibility to seek GOD out? GOD and religion will still be around after you are long gone and forgotten about...

I am a single mother of a 4 1/2 year old daughter that is physically Handicapped. I just recently bought our 1st home & I am looking for some form of financial assistance to make some modification to the home so that it is wheelchair accessible inside and out. I know that there must be programs (both government & privately funded) to help Lower income families in these situations. I have spent hours on the internet searching & found nothing that is clear… I am hoping someone knowledgeable in this area can help…. THANK YOU!

my neighbour of fifteen years has just lost her son with whom I was very friendly. I have most of the letter done, but it still seems to be missing something.

Does anyone here have any good sentences that I could put in? I have never written a letter like this before.

also, I'm a bit stuck on the ending, from what I read i should be carefull when offering any further help...not sure what that means though

thanks a mill for any answers in advance

Thirty-Year Secret Leads to Evidence of Worldwide Flood

In 1978, a couple of guys searching for fossils and arrowheads stumbled upon a treasure of bones sticking out of a creek bed near Waco, Texas. It was later discovered that what they found was a family of Columbian mammoths, along with camels, saber-toothed tigers, and a variety of animals yet to be uncovered.

For thirty years it’s been questioned what brought this variety of animals so close together in one site. Today, paleontologists suggest the herd was in the midst of disaster -- “trapped by flood waters and entombed by a mudslide.” They say the placement of the bones show that adults were trying to “lift juveniles up out of the muck when the wall around them collapsed.” Creationists call this even more evidence for God’s Word and the Flood in the days of Noah. Click here to watch the one-and-a-half minute video.

Skeptics have long scoffed at the idea of a worldwide Flood, suggesting it was merely a local one. God’s Word, however, is clear, stating that “the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.”

If the Bible is correct about a Flood which covered everything, then evidences like these should be found. This recent discovery is just more proof that Noah’s Flood exceeded his “known land,” even beyond Waco, Texas

The Orthodox Church governs her life by Holy Tradition. Many, however, are confused as to what exactly Holy Tradition is. The word "tradition" comes from the Latin taditio, which is a translation of ta Greek word used frequently in the Scriptures, paradosis. Translated literally, this word means something that is handed on from one person to another, in the same way that a baton is handed over in a relay race. Something that is "traditioned" is passed on from one person or group of people to another. St. Paul clarifies in Galations 1:11 that the Tradition of the Church is "not according to man." In other words, it is revealed by God. It is not a human product. Tradition means an experience, an entire life - not simply a series of teaching, but the living out of those teachings that have come from God who has revealed Himself to us. Tradition is the living out of the revelation of God by His people.

Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Seems he did indeed repent of an evil he was thinking about doing to his people.

Why did God make humans capable of the heinous crimes that they commit? What does it accomplish--it just creates victims and suffering. And why can one of these vile people get into heaven if they repent and accept Jesus, and I, as a non-believer, cannot? And the sufferer--does he get into heaven? Christianity is just too liberal for me.

Matthew 24
The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.



Finally, after the recent California wildfires, American insurance companies are in a near panic. Just as in the aftermath of Katrina, they're talking about no longer offering insurance in certain high risk areas. Apparently, their risk assessors have determined that catastrophic events are increasing in numbers, scope, and magnitude. In other words, prominent business leaders are now confirming the words of Jesus as He described the crescendo of events that will herald the last days of this age.

But is there a further explanation for the parade of major catastrophes that have befallen the U.S. in the last 7 years? I think there may be.
