then where do you think magicians and fortune tellers get their powers? I'm sure it's not due to some deep meditation and suddenly they experienced this enlightenment and were able to unlock magical powers.

On another topic. Some scientists base their belief on proof. They want visual proof that there is a creator of the earth. I believe this proof is visually evident right in front of our eyes by the design of things. Romans 1:20 states that:"For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable"

I'm sure there is no other proof needed to decide whether there is a designer other than seeing the things designed.

Scientists also say living things evolved through mutation of organisms. My question is if that were the case, what started the mutation? What caused the first specie to evolve?

I think America has the most Demons. There are a lot of angry people in this country and a lot of evil. Anytime there is mention of God or Jesus there is strong opposition.

I think maybe Korea and Israel has the most Angels because they have a lot of people really devoted to God. Any thoughts?

I think the western hemisphere probably has the most evil but thats my guess.

I went into an adult book store, looking for a new copy of "Wuthering Heights", but none of their books had any words in them. So, what's up? Can't adults read?

By independant persons labeling bad association...cant that stumble others. Especially of that person has not been called for punishment or reproof for any of his actions.

I know that the body makes the final decision for punishment...so what is the purpose of "bad association" labels.

is that for the ones who slip through the cracks?

Can someone explain what "spiritual but not religious means"? Sounds to me like people want to take the good, and turn there back on the parts they dont like. Sounds selfish to me but I'm not sure I understand what it means.

A fellow student once said that the only reason you'd have a problem with someone else's sexuality is because you're insecure about your own. The teacher agreed, because it's true.

I think the same can be said about religion.

Just look at how many Christians post messages here like "Atheists - I have a problem with you not believing exactly the same thing I do?"

the same with seasons greetings with Merry CHRISTmas under it in big green letters. Now I am not against Christmas or saying Merry Christmas. I defend people's right to say it. But are there really people out there who are critisizing OTHERS right to say Happy Holidays? What if they don't celebrate Christmas, they celebrate Hanukkah and are just trying to be nice? Are there Christian out there who really think that others don't have a right to THIER holiday in December too?
That sign made me really regret sticking up for Christians on this. It also made me sort of sad. Talk about sucking the joy and goodwill out of the holiday.

I find myself wondering when time started. I know that time a measurement, but where did it come from? When did time begin? Was there anything in existance before time began?
I believe in God, and I believe in science...but with both, I am having difficulty grasping time. In both backgrounds there was a moment when everything started,,,,but before that moment, what was there?

Without the royal family in England, England would become a lot more boring country. The British Royal Family is without a doubt one of the biggest parts of British history, if not the biggest. I daresay the only real reason why I am interested in British history is because of the royals. The family generates a great deal of income for the country. Many complain because they pay taxes to the Royal Family, but it is not a huge amount of money and only poor people should really be complaining about it. The Queen travels around the world, representing Britain, visits local communities, donates money to charities, and participates in activities for those charities. She helped in the British military during World War II. She does not just sit at Buckingham Palace, sipping tea all day. She is an educated woman who has worked hard. It's not like she is Paris Hilton who is a school dropout, obnoxious party-goer, drama queen, and a disgrace to her family name.
