Why do they always say "Brethren" which is pertaining to men. Why not occasionally use the word "sistren" which is pertaining to women. It strengthens my views that the bible was written by men with men in mind.

Thanks for your answers!

I just answered a question about how evolutionists are unable to prove evolution.

http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlnXsBD6twhXjdtXJfWt210FEBV.;_ylv=3?qid=20071121035740AAz5v8W

I just thought it fair that the creationists get to prove their side as well. And please, no "The bible says it, so it's true" answers. If you can't intelligently debate the question, please go post you page long biblical quotes at someone else.

So, the question is, can you supply corroboration of the biblical story of creation. That means something that supports the story from a source other than the story. And I'm not asking you to disprove evolution, just supply corroborative evidence of creation. Thank you for indulging me. :)

It's hard to believe in a day and age when we can call a friend from across the world that people still think the Holy Ghost is such a myth. In the last hundred years we have changed the entire history of mankind. We put our faith in cars going 60 MPH, airplanes that take us above the clouds, and over bridges that can sustain the weight of 1000s of tons.

Faith in our day and age is abundante. And the result of faith in these things has had voilent endings enought times to convince us that we are never 100 percent safe.

Every one has faith.

If so what do you do, and what do you say to them without being rude, or are you rude if they get on your nerves.

waiting at an intersection I saw a bumper sticker that said, "When the rapture happens, we'll have the place to ourselves". Is that great or what?!

I have heard Christians say "If someone turns away they were never truly saved"

I have heard Atheists propose "If someone went from being "Atheist" to Theist, they were never truly Atheist"

I personaly think they're equally ridiculous claims, but I would just like to ask.

Why is it more always more believable that people turned away from other views than your own?
Is this exclusive to Atheists/Christians? or something much more apparent in all beliefs/non-beliefs?

in business, i was very successful (owner operator) because i rapidly see the logical extension of various areas my contracts would need to address. this is not typical of contractors i come in contact with. they see the general picture but my vision is details like enviromental issues like the change will make flooding a problem on the property. (something typically that does not manifest for months to years after the work is done.)

many here claim to be well educated and that gives you a distinct edge with better skills to compete.

question, does your education/experience/knowledge directly benefit you in all areas of your livelyhood. does any of your skills boarder almost on some kind of spiritual discernment to overcome difficulties in your work. the idea of a tap of genius, if you will.
