I think Julia is really cute. She is outspoken and she appears to be rebellious regarding christanity and I suspect that is for a reason. I don't think however, she deserves all the stick she gets from the Christians. Should not Christians be more understanding and tolerent?

The most highly inteligent people alive or who have ever lived can not explain Scientificily how the universe was created. Do you have more faith in Smart people or God?

the claims that the bible makes just dont agree with the observable evidence

Its not a matter of belief but of weighing evidence.
The earth has to be really old because there is no evidence that dinosaurs could have lived along
side man 10000yrs ago.
Here is some evidence that dinosaurs lived along time ago.
There remains are all fossilized.
Radiocarbon dating indicates that they are a lot older then 10000yrs.
There is no dinosaur bone or flesh material to be found anywhere
but there is plenty of bone material of people and contemporary animal from 10000yrs ago.

If dinosaurs did live with men just 10000yrs ago,
you would find
Mummified dinosaurs flesh that would date less then 10000yrs old.
Dinosaurs bones and flesh with viable DNA in them "not fossilized dinosaurs bones".
Because we do find DNA in the remains of people and contemporary animal from 10000yrs ago.

Men and dinosaurs would have interacted with each other.
Men would have hunted them down for there flesh, skin and bones.
Flesh to eat ,leather skin for cloths and bones for tools,weapons and jewelry.

The bible offers no proof of the exsitance of dinosaurs at all.
The only other option is that dinosaurs lived and died
before man ever walked the face of earth.
Supporting the idea that the world is realy old not 10000yrs old.
the bible does speak of joanah and the whale ,but that was fish not a dinosaur

Nor can there be any great biblicly flood because
you would find evidence that there was a mass exstinction of life
and that you would be able to find one single layer of sediment that has
the remains of all this life ordered by size and wieght.
But you dont find is this,
that there has been many mass exstinctions and as you dig deeper in the ground
the remains are order by species in a decending order in many diferrant layers of rock over a time period of a billion yrs.
one single flood would not deposit the remains of dead animals ordered by species in decending order
so one must conclude that there was no single flood

I want to write a book on race relations. If you are African American, how do you perceive whites and other races. If you are white, how do you perceive African Americans and other races. If you are from another ethnic groups, how do African Americans/whites view your racial group.
Do you believe in the stereotypes? Do you look beyond the skin color and see that people are people no matter what the race? Are you in favor of interracial dating between African -American man and Caucasian woman. If you disagree with interracial dating between the two races and yet you agree that it is acceptable for a Caucasian man/woman to marry any other race but not African American man/woman, then please give me you view point.
Please be honest with me. I will not take any offensive of what you might thing and/or say. I am on a quest to bring people together of different races.

Here in the UK, unlike the US, we are mercifully free of religious statements on signs and hoardings in public places. Nevertheless, there are a few signs on church noticeboards etc. - "God is Love", that sort of thing.

Should these be banned as involving claims which cannot be supported?

That is what some believers believe, see the responses to:

Is it written in code?
Doesn't it mean what it says?
How come Christians can understand it?
Why doesn't god want non-believers to believe?

I'm doing an essay comparing Pentacostals and Baptists. Do any of you know anything? Also, when did each of these religions start? I can't find anything on the internet. Do Baptist speak in tongues? My mother in law says they do, but I'm not sure about that.

Judism is the base of all three eligions but Christians didnt just make up Jesus he is spoken of in Isiah, as the Messiah, Christ means Messiah, but not once in any part of the bible does it speak of Mohammed, you know why because hes a false Prophet. and Allah is a moon God, I have proof . www.freewebs.com/ king_of_crusade

I've been ding some research into Wicca lately and I don't understand how there can be Christian Wicca. It seems like Wiccans don't like Christians from what I've read on Yahoo Answers. So how can there be Christian Wicca?

Human beings are only able to regulate and work thier brain with information that they have been exposed to in the world. For example, Humans are trichromatic and only can see colors within the range of 3 receptors, therefore any other colors outside this range will never even be fathomable by the human brain, no matter how hard we try. Some non-mammalian animals, however, are tetrachromats, and can see and comprehend a range of colors beyond a human's imagination. I believe that the afterlife is just like this hidden color receptor- we have never been exposed to it and therefore our brains will never be able to think about what it is like. All the theories which people have attempted in the past would not even be a consideration if this is true. No matter how hard we wrack our brains to comprehend the afterlife, it will never don upon us until we are there to experience it.

You probably know that your cells must divide and multiply so that your body can grow and repair itself. Well, a scientist named Leonard Hayflick discovered that there is a LIMIT to how many times they can divide. That number, which is now called the "Hayflick Limit," is around 50. So that means that every cell in your body comes into being, grows old,dies,and is replaced by another! If you're 30, nearly ALL the cells you had at 15 have been replaced!
So, the question..are you still you? how do you know?
