even if you have different variations of "whats up" from a single language then tell me. Just let me know what the difference is, especially if the difference is the cultures they come from, regardless of the fact that they are from the same language.

Sir Isaac Newton:
The theory of Gravity

Galileo:
Father of physics and the father of science

Georges Lemaître:
First proposed the Big Bang Theory

Gregor Mendel:
Father of modern genetics

All of these people were religious. I am quite sure that they were not brain washed, idiots, or gullible. They surely knew when to seperate science from religion and when it is reasonable to combine them. Yet some assume that a theist cannot grasp science, or that it will confuse them. Well how do you explain these men who were theists?

I really don't get it...

You believe the Bible is true, not because of evidence but, because of faith. And you believe things that are ONLY mentioned in the Bible (like the Christian God), not because of evidence but, because of faith. And you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, not because of evidence but, because the Bible says so. And you believe the word of God is true, not because of evidence but, because the Bible says so. And you believe whatever God says is true, not because of evidence but, because the Bible says so... or is it because of faith.

I'm sorry, but I'm STILL confused. Can you help me understand?

someone told me that the bible said dont believe scientists cuz they are fool..

so it is kinda annoy me sometime because if many ppl out there believe there is a God but why they go to see doctors to get meds. or whatever (part of science who found out by scientists).. so why bother asking scientists to get something to make u stay alive.. just ask God to help u?
if u go see doctors or whatever that relate to scientists.. look like u break the bible's rule

The RR says that it works, it clearly does not, their plan only works if people reject their human needs for sex, which they do not and will not, they only effective way to prevent teen pregnancies would be to build two giant school-jails and keep the sexes apart. Then there could be online dating till marriage. When will they final admit that knowledge, not Jesus is power.

Pigs are more similar to humans than we think...

- Same size torso.
- Some internal organs are almost identical.
- Similar hearts.
- Pigs on an operating table respond similar to humans.
- Pigs are being used for human spare parts in the US.
- Research in pigs brains are conducted to unravel the mysteries of the human mind.
- Pigs can solve complex problems better than Chimps.
- Pigs are affected by traumatic events in their early childhood.
- Pig Stem Cells are to be used to grow human organs.

It makes me shiver to think that eating pigs is like eating humans, but as techology progresses, we find a lot more similarities between both living species.

Maybe there is something to think about when you eat your next ham and bacon meal. 80 million tons of pork is consumed yearly worldwide.

However, practicing Muslims and Jews don't eat pig products, as commanded to them by God...so, there may just be some logic in that...!

What do you think?

Its been a big problem in Muslim societies in western countries.It seems that the western media has achieved a lot of trust even INSIDE muslim communities.Muslims with little idea or knowledge of their own faith seem to be deceived atleast to a small level by the western"media"(or propaganda as I should say)

Some muslims get "lost" spiritually and mentally within...and turn to the deceptionism by the western media,blindly and unknowingly.This is harmful the community and can turn out to be a great misinfluence to other people

What I say is from a lot of thought into this subject.Its from ignorant comments from brothers and sisters, like "U r not a jihadi are u?"or "as long as u dont go for Jihad its ok for me!"

I think there are a lot of muslims here knowledgable enough to guide these members of our faith,Positively we can start showing the beauty of our religion - that it condemns terrorism, conflict and that it encourages modesty,logic and spirituality...

Almighty God be with us!

Let me give you some background info first. I attended a church for 15 years. During that time I volunteered endlessly and gave of myself, often sacrificing family time to do so. I had few needs but there came a time my mother passed away, not one friend came from church. Just the retired part time pastor and his wife. My actual pastor did not call, visit or attend the funeral. It was very sad not to receive that support.

I forgave and moved forward. Then a year ago my husband was seriously ill, needed more than one surgery. I put in prayer requests and not once did my pastor call. One of his associates did but they never followed up and eventually they left the church. I put in another prayer request when things got worse and my pastor never phoned me.

During this time I was volunteering at the church every week, he would see me and walk right on by. A friend commented on how disgusted she was by him and his behavior and she and her husband left the church.

make such a blanket statement as: "I like catholics more than protestants". Wouldn't this world be just a little better if people were looked upon as individuals?

I finished my shopping for all the girls in my family and the kids, but I'm stumped on what to buy all the guys. I need to buy for my dad, brothers and boyfriend. Any ideas?? I do have a small budget, so it can't be too much. My boyfriend should be pretty easy, but my brothers are hard to buy for cause they basically have everything they need already. They're all over the age of 27. Any advice would be cool! thanks:)

I mean think about it. There are literally Tens of THOUSANDS of Gods, Spirits, Faeries, Elves, and other mythological creatures than neither the Christians NOR the atheists believe in (well, some atheists believe in the faeries, but most don't). If you get really down to it, we both Agree on just so MANY different religions and traditions....being wrong.

I mean, we really agree a LOT more than most people think.

Can't we just be friends and get along, taking solace in how silly those Quetzalcoatl believers are/were?
