Religion & Spirituality - 17 July 2006

I am interested in learning about this religion and possibly undergoing an Auditing session. Are there any Scientology centers in Maryland?

My husband is a Vietnam veteran and he personally does not like the idea of us being part of the U.N. He thinks we are headed towards a New World Order.Have you heard of this and the theory of a One World Government? What are your thoughts and feelings?

"FOSSIL TREES IN ANTARCTICA!"

Sounds like it ought to strike terror in the hearts of evolutionists everywhere, right? Apparently it should, according to this website:

http://www.modomedia.com/quantum/100things.html

I stumbled across it the other night, as a link from someone's answer. The above all-caps quote is #61, in a long line of mostly absurd, ignorant assertions. But this one struck me as positively ludicrus. The rest of the thing goes:

"This may not seem like a problem at first. Until of course, you learn that trees do not grow in Antarctica. Six months of the year there is no daylight in Antarctica..."

So I take it the average creationist does not know this?

"... How then, did these forests arise in the first place? Perhaps the climate was different at a previous stage in history? Evolution doesn't have an answer for this. The Bible does."

Evolutionisn't DON'T have an answer for this?! Excuse me?!

This was the question Kirk posed when confronted with an alien posing as God. I thought it was a great philosophical point. When applied to reality...
Why does God need a church? Why does God need holy men? etc... and so on and so forth. I would love to see some thoughtful answers on this one.

We are, after all, human........sin (as the church dictates it to be) is part of our inherent make up.

Agreed, the Ten Commandments are a fair guideline to live ones life by anyone's standards, but what about the rest ?

It is our nature to be petty, judgmental, self absorbed, critical, jealous and all the other little idiosyncracies that make us human. Granted, we can try and change and recognise our behaviour, but I don't think there would be a person walking this earth who hasn't "sinned" and will continue to do so until the day they day ......so what is one to do?

If somebody says something against Jesus, nothing; but if somebody says something against Bush, there's likely to be an all-out brawl. Why?

Do you think that because you are not permitted to run roughshod over other peoples religions, yours is being persecuted? Why?

This is not denominational or faith specific. All feel free to answer. Why can't you see the value in the prophecy of others?

I've joined a new church and they are heavy on evangelising. They are very polite about it and we are looking for more ideas on corporate outreach. I'm hoping that with all of the faith minded, bible believing users on here, someone can give me ideas that have worked at their church, to take back to my church. Thanks!

I'm not looking for an argument. I want to learn what others believe.

In Gaza and Lebanon? The wicked Israelis are destroying the innocent Lebanese and are wreaking havok all for the lives of two idiot soldiers. Do not let them get away with this.

Just the other night I saw, much to my chagrine, an answer here in this forum (a "best answer" no less) that went something like: "When is everyone going to acknowledge that if the theory of evolution had any scientific evidence to back it up, it wouldn't be "just a theory."

Did people like this actually learn about theories and hypotheses and the scientific method in school? Or did they sleep through that lesson, or just skip class, or what?

Here's a little refresher: an hypothesis is an idea about the way something works in the world; once it's tested, using the scientific method, AND THE OUTCOME OF THE TESTING SUPPORTS THE HYPOTHESIS, the hypothesis becomes a theory. That is, a theory is an idea about the way the world works THAT IS SUPPORTED BY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.

Regarding why most everything in science, not just evolution, remains "just a theory," you can never be 100% sure that your outcome isn't due to chance. You can be 99.99% sure (as for evolution), but not 100%.

Okay Christians. I just was reading another question and CHRISTIANS were saying that Jesus is not God. It is things like this that give Christianity a bad name. Jesus most surely is the Alpha and the Omega, the second person of the trinity, the only person ever to have they hypostatic union.......

How many Christians her actually believe that Jesus is not God??

I know an atheist who wants so badly to believe but cannot, is there a reason for this? Does God still have a purpose for those who don't believe? Please pray for my grandmother.

I am glad that some of you know proper english. I have a diease that has taken most my memory from me. I forget things from day to day. Its called seziures. So forgive me if my english is not up to par for some of your educated people. I do my best. But I forgive you all for making fun of me cause a true born again Christian would not dare speak to another Christian that way.

Just last night I happened upon a link (from an answer here at Y!A) to this site:

http://www.modomedia.com/quantum/100things.html

It supposedly contains "1000 things evolutionists hate. Negating, for a moment, the utter ridiculousness of some of the assertions on the page, I couldn't help but notice that virtually all of the links (to their "proof") that I happened to click on were to "Creationist science" websites.

I have to wonder...if you're trying to convince evolutionists of the credibility of your arguements, why would you only link to Creationist science websites? As a supporter (for the most part) of the theory of evolution, I'm not going to be convinced of anything by "scientists" whose ulterior motive is to give credence to the authenticity of the bible, and I doubt many other evolutionists would either.

I read questions like if the word or god is perfect, why there ar so many versions of it? Some people say something like: don't listen to others, see what god is telling you. Personally I think this is a big load of C.R.A.P. because everybody who think that god is speaking to him/her is actually a schizophrenic. Catholic church "listened" to god and burned the scientist of thier time, "night of St.Bartholomew" catholics killed protestans, on TV there are funddamentalists who say something like:"god be praised because he killed muslims in tsunamis" , god told christian to go in crusades and kill muslims, allah (another god) tell to kill "infidels" bible and quaran is full of nonsense people did becasue "god told them so" and so on and so forth. So, what exactly is the "perfection" of "god's word" if not what people think and then tell that "god told them so"? I hate any religion and any god for it seems that the end of world will be due to the religious fanatics who tell "god is peace"

If God doesn't care about religion, why squabble so much between each other?
