There are several pesons asking if religion is natural or something we learned. As we see many ideas shared by diverce
cultures, can we accept that religion is a natural part of our being?
For example; several species share a natural tendency to be attracted to certain colored materials, elephants bury their dead(and you, if they think you are) and we often see behavior in animals we cannot explain, and ourselves, at times.
Stories that we think are partial to one culture pop up in distant ones and ethical writings almost duplicate each other.
Even where people have been separated for thousands of years, we see statling examples of this similarity, as when the Christians first came to Mexico and saw simbles that they identified with their faith. Something is happening here, something is going on in His world.
Remember the Tower of Bable? Could G-d have also motavated different faiths, to learn more about Him? Any reason why not????

Do you believe angels walk among us? Have you ever seen one?


"I am the Angel of the Sun
Whose flaming wheels began to run
When God 's almighty breath
Said to the darkness and the Night,
Let there be light! and there was light."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I want to know why complexity requires a conscious designer. Why couldn't a set of laws (without conscious design) create complexity?

Partial credit will be given to those who show their work...

Could it be the $$$$. After attending Calvary Costa Mesa for so long I decided to go somewhere else because it seems most of the pastors were frankly white male (landowners). Recuiting is such a staple in the OC and not just C.C. but also Saddleback and Harvest in Riverside. Shouldnt it be the word of God and not the money.

Huckabee was asked-'what do you think about Mormons' in an interview.
To which he answered-' I don't know much about them, aren't they the ones who teach that Satan is the brother of Jesus?'

The media accused him or attacking Mormons.

Huckabee was really bashed by all networks over this question.


Mit Romney said-' this is not true, Mormons do not teach this, and this kind of question always comes from those who want to discredit his faith.

My question is this-was that unfair? No one in the media researched this question.

Just a couple minutes research on the internet turned this up-

A. The Devil was born as a spirit after Jesus "in the morning of pre-existence," (Mormon Doctrine, page 192.)
B. Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163.)

and this video about Mormons belief in origins-

A long time ago, maybe about 14 years ago, I use to steal from the poor box at church. In fact, there was one day when I actually stole the entire poor box from the church. I typically got about 100$ each time and usually wasted this money on hamburgers and cd's, none of which I have any more.

Will I go to hell for this? I understand that God doesn't really take pity on fools....or thieves for that matter.

I was reading an article in a magazine about teenagers who want to be WAGs. They all spend hundreds of pounds a month on clothes, makeup, etc (well, their parents do) and one of them said she wouldn't care who she married, as long as he was famous and had enough money for her to buy what she wanted! Does anyone else think that people who behave in this way are ridiculous and that it shouldn't be promoted and made to look like a good idea in magazines, etc? What about those people who aren't stick thin, beautiful and rich, yet are more caring, understanding individuals?

Plz, translate these sentences which token from a moon text --> to arabic?

1-The Moon (Latin: Luna) is Earth's only natural satellite

2-The gravitational pull at its surface is about 17 percent of the Earth's

3-the Moon orbits near the ecliptic and not the Earth's equatorial plane

4-As a result of the conservation of angular momentum, the increasing semi major axis of the Moon is accompanied by a gradual slowing of the Earth's rotation by about 0.002 seconds per day per century

6-The Earth–Moon system is sometimes considered to be a double planet rather than a planet–moon system

That was the worst disease known to man, your body parts literally rotted and fell off of your body. If you had it you were scorned by men and banished from society.

I don't think I could do it as much as I would want to hug each and every one of them out of sympathy for them. But Jesus touched them without a thought of himself catching it. All He thought about was healing the other person. Would you touch a leper?
