Hey, I'm back, yeah, been gone a while if you havent' noticed.

anyway how many of you were taught evolution as fact in public school? I was, and though, it mentions about ONCE in the biology book I had that evolution was a theory, it taught it as fact.

Why won't they teach other theories too? any bright ideas, or are you confused by the lack of logic of the liberals who run our school systems?

As you know, if everyone was logical, there would be no liberals...ok that's my opinion, but plz answer the question!!!

thanks so much!!!

I just wanted to suggest this book for them, "Mathematics for Kindergarten"

But if they said 1+1+1=111, I'd say they'd seriously have check-in to their closest mental-hospital.

alrite. I base my logic on the "a priori" false.
just as there is no such thing as a married bachelor,
an opaque object that is transparent,
and things that are by definition false,

I can disprove the existence of the FSM.

1.) spaghetti is made of starch
2.) starch is a molecule
3.) molecules consist of matter
4.) matter is bound by the laws of physics
5.) the law of conservation of energy must be bent in order for the universe to be created
6.) seeing as how starch molecules cannot defy the laws of physics
7.) thus, the existence of the FSM that created the universe is thus disproven.

Washington DC, November 8 (CNA).-Pat Robertson, televangelist and founder of the Christian Coalition, on Wednesday endorsed the socially liberal Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.

"It is my pleasure to announce my support for America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans," Robertson said during a news conference with Giuliani in Washington.

Giuliani, former mayor of New York, supports abortion rights and homosexual rights despite the Republican Party's official stands against such issues.

Robertson, who made an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1988, is also the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Christian Coalition and Regent University. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Robertson claimed in a statement that the attacks occurred because Americans had insulted God and lost the protection of heaven by "allowing abortion and rampant internet pornography."

Robertson did not mention his differences with Giuliani on social issues in Wednesday's statement.

You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years).........but you find NOTHING wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

My friend's mom died. This is my first ever funeral so I'm lost. What am I suppose to wear and what flowers are appropriate? I have a pair of black slacks and a black business suit jacket. Is that appropriate for a funeral? Also I was thinking instead of flowers I was going to make a condolence poster. In Loving Memory of.. Her mom's picture and name along with a lot of tiny pictures from the old days. Her mom participated in a lot of our school's activities. Then we all sign it at the funeral. Is that a good idea or should I bring flowers instead. Also I want to bring a friend along. The thing I'm dreading is my friend that I want to bring along is Jewish. He's since become orthodox. My friend who's mom died is Mormon and it's at a church. Shoudl I bring my friend along? They knew each other back in high school but haven't talked since.

and if anyone has any input, id like to listen.
my overall point is that morality is instinct and my argument is based mainly on biology and psychology.

i am still at the stage of gathering ideas, and any opposing ideas would be useful, so long as they are well made

Two years ago "Today", on Nov 9, 2005, Suicide bombers attacked three hotels in Amman, Jordan, killing a total of about 60 people and injuring at least 115 others.

The results of at least one study are consistent with despair being a cause of the attacks.

A 2007 study in Afghanistan, one country with a growing number of suicide bombings, found "80%" of the suicide attackers had some kind of physical or mental disability.

A study of the remains of 110 suicide bombers for the first part of 2007 by Afghan pathologist Dr. Yusef Yadgari, found 80% were missing limbs, suffered from cancer, leprosy, or some other ailments.

Also in contrast to earlier findings of suicide bombers, the Afghan bombers were "not celebrated like their counterparts in other Arab nations.

Unlike other Islamic countries, "Afghan bombers are not featured on posters or in videos as martyrs."

And how can I convince my mother that I, as an atheist, have as much right to celebrate it as she (a Christian) does?

If the supposed God created all of us and loves us all, then why should it matter if we do bad things? Doesn't that mean that we are going to heaven anyway? He made us a certain way, which means that he set us up to sin to a certain extent one way or another. Therefore, it is not our fault that we are the way that we are. That means that everyone is going to heaven no matter what. So why worry?

Someone answered a question earlier today, stating that if a person could find a mistake or flaw in the laws of mathematics then he would agree, like the Bible ,math should be scrapped and tossed iinto the trash heap of history. Does anyone else feel that mathematics is flawless?

I was on the subway (NY) coming home for work and these two twenty-something business guys were yapping non-stop about stupid stuff, really loudly next to me and an older woman. One of the men kept saying the "F" word really loud many times and this old lady was obviously offended. She was like 60. So I looked at the guy and simply said, "Will you stop it?" He looked back at me like he couldn't believe I said anything. Then he just kept talking and talking but he didn't say the "F" word again, but he didn't acknowledge that I had said anything to him either.

When I told my friend what happened he thought I was stupid for speaking to someone on the subway and that I should have kept my mouth shut. What do you think?
