Society & Culture - 9 November 2007

Turkana Boy, considered the most complete early human fossil, is being removed from his bomb-proof vault to take centre stage at an exhibition that curators say will provide the most complete record of the evolution of Man.

However, the collection, to be show-cased for the first time at the Nairobi National Museum after a £5 million renovation financed by the European Union, has drawn sharp criticism from evangelical Christians who deny the theory of evolution.

What do you all think of this article. While I have no need or desire to tell or to laugh at a gay joke, I feel this is ludacris and completely asinine of the government to try to legislate something like this. Why arent they protecting race or religion as well if it is so important to dictate what comes out of ones mouth? Thoughts?

I tried to sell novelty stuff for this company by walking down the street and stopping strangers. I wouldn't buy that junk if I had money to spare so I had a hard time trying to sell it to others

We grew up 3 hours away from each other, but have always been best friends. We're now 22 and 23, but she has been very distant for months (since I became engaged and told her she is maid of honor). She doesn't return my calls, takes awhile to respond to texts and cuts me short on AOL.

We have always had a vowel to tell each other EVERYTHING.. but earlier something happened to my other cousin and no one will tell me about it.

She wants me and all my friends to go see her next w/e, but I know I'll be bitter. Should I still go?

*Earlier I called her and got her voicemail of course, so I said "you have never answered 1 of my calls in the past month". She jokingly texted and said "I'll call later *****".

Do you believe that a psychic (or any other person) can tell a persons pain and/or disease just by looking at and talking to them? Do you believe that psychics can heal?

Why did Gardner have to find the Old Relgion from them? Woudln't there be a ton of covens around England that would be doing the same thing? There are now.

What ever happened to New Forest Coven? Do they still continue to practice as a coven? Is the whole of "Wicca" based of the practices of the particular coven? If so...why is it so special compared to other covens?

Lots I've seen about purgatory lately - that place where Catholic Tradition (dogma?) says souls go to be finally cleansed before addmittance to Heavan . . . .
But the death of Jesus is said to cleanse all believers?
What sins are cleansed?
What if my relationship with God is "perfect" but the relationships of others with me is still not perfect (cleansed) - like -- what if I hurt someone through an act that God forgave but my "brother" (or sister or mother or son or daughter etc) are still hurting from?
While they are still in pain over this, and not healed by God/Jesus, then is there still some attachment between me and the person hurt by my indescression?
What if I've been hurt by a person who has asked forgiveness and recieved that from God - but I still hurt? Does that person still have any obligation to me? Or vice versa? Would the process of paying that obligation be "purgatory"? And if the injured essentially said "no forgiveness, is the debt considered finished anyway?

It does not matter about social standing, or circumstances in one,s life, if a person is without Christ then they are lost. Without His guidance in our lives we are doomed to an eternity in Hell.It makes no difference who you are or what you do, a friendship with Jesus Christ can mean the difference between Heaven and Hell Most importantly, a friendship with Christ leads to eternal life.
