Religion & Spirituality - 6 July 2006

Try to demonstrate realistic reasons why our species required such a substantial leap as compared to every other species.

If evolution is true, what makes us need it more than others?

Give realistic reasons why every other species apparently did not require intelligence comparable to ours.

If evolution is true, why don't they need it also?

Why wouldn't such intelligence be a benefit to them?

Doesn't natural selection favor the most beneficial mutation?

Try to give solid examples why intelligence would ever be an unfavorable mutation. If you can, then explain why it survived and thrived in us.

Does anyone that isn't a RAVING, shove-my-religion-down-your-throat kinda person, ever feel like you are close to God and he actually really doesn't like those crazy religious people because they are liking fans stalking a rock band?

Why do they have a the largest organized groups of bloodthirsty terrorists routinely carying out horrific killings in the name of religion. While others can name isolated incidents involving other religions nothing like these recent and constant attacks all over the world. People end up fearing and vigorously hating muslims instead of respecting or embracing them. They dont get their intended result instead they are met with multinational disdain. I intensly hate the actions of these zealous many.

It is barely an hypothesis. A theory needs substantiated evidence to support it. The scientific method needs to be applied to that evidence before it is considered substantiated. Has that been accomplished yet?

I have a canal behind my house. Inside that canal is schools and schools of minnows. I started out taking little bread dough balls and throwing them into the canal. I threw one to the left, and all the minnows would frantically swim over to the left. I'd throw another dough ball on over to the right, and all those minnows would frantically swim on over to the right. Yep, they would chew up all those dough balls! It was kind cool to watch. Hours of entertainment. Then one day one of my neighbors was watching me feed the minnows and came over. He showed me a cool trick. If I threw a piece of dead leaf in to the canal, all the minoows would swim over there and try to eat the leaf! They'd all attack it frantically. I'd did it again and again and again. Dumb minnows! They just kept on swimming where ever I threw the pieces of dead leaves. Now I do this little trick all the time, and watch those little minnows swim all over the place for nothing. I think it's funny. Is this a Sin?

Although I am a Catholic, I call the Qu'ran a worthy revelation. To me, it is just like the First 5 books of the Bible that Moses wrote with some allusion to the first years of Christianity and Rome but with Allah telling Muhammed, "No, this is what really happened." Now, although I seek the Bible to be my Truth and The Qu'ran likewise to the Muslims, to those who compare religions, isn't it like the militarized version of the Bible those who have read both?

A gay male couple who lived in Israel 2000 years ago did not create large families or have children, so there were fewer people in the household to tax. Gays = no children = fewer money for the Church. Homophobia has an economic origin - not a religious law at all!

I am cooler, smarter, and sexier than Jesus, but he has had billions of followers and I have 5 or 6 at most. I know my time is coming to be more popular, but I'm getting impatient. Plus I'm like a thousand times more humble than Jesus ever was.

what gives then the right to send you an email through Yahoo Answers to give you a hard time,when you don't give them the answers they want people to give? Then they get even more bent out of shape when you tell them to back off.... Why would anyone want to believe them to be right when they do stupid things like that?

Its a simple fact... muslims hate non muslims. There is no freedom in islam. Millions of muslims worldwide rioted over that Mohammed Cartoon and the artists life was threatened. Such a stupid incident outlines the lack of freedom and widespread hatred and extremism in islam. If they hate me for being a non muslim i hate them back.

If you became a public official and/or must testify in court and are asked to swear to tell the truth by placing your hand on the HOLY BIBLE of God, would you and why?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but I'm really curious as to what you would do in this situation. You don't believe in God or His writings, so why should you be forced to swear on His book?

I feel that there are valuable lessons in the book and I do not want to diminish it, but it is written in different styles and sometimes is contradictory. If it is almost certainly written by men and not a higher power, why do we insist it is and make religion even less believable?

Most are at 10% but I'm hoping there are some other there offering 5% or less. I'm on a tight budget.

will be a baby..if not killed..so do you see my point. I am sick of everyone saying that the fetus is not a living person.. its just not grown into a full size baby..that will grow into a toddler..then on and on, if not killed. We all have to grow in order. So how can you say abortion is not murder? So dont call the baby a baby or a toddler a toddler or a fetus a fetus.. they are all HUMAN growing if not murdered.. Right!!

Homosexual, Heterosexual, Bisexual..
Personally I think one of them, truely, is right.
Yet again, any sexuality isn't wrong, but still...

Which sexuality do you think is right, or is most true to you?

Can you christians explain to my audience what you plan on doing for an eternity since you are soooo obsessed with the fact that you are immortal and live forever in an after life? Even though the truth is there is no after life. So, NOW, as opposed to not existing anymore after you die which is what is the truth, why dont you tell us about it what you wanna lovvve to do for an eternity as a "spirit" which according to myth cannot eat, cant have sex, drink, or do anything the physical body can do and by the way just so you know there are 90,000 people viewing my post right now from around the world. Yes you wanna say something? Go ahead.
