Quote the most unbelievable crap too. Stuff about people living in whales, people and animals on a big ark during a worldwide flood, etc.

Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to understand.

If the big bang happened, then what caused something from nothing? It takes faith?

If life started, then what caused something from nothing? It takes faith?

If evolution is random chance and natural selection, then what created the choice, that natural selection could choose from? Again, it takes fatih?

How did matter create consciousness? This takes faith?

Sorry, I am skeptical of a materialistic universe. I do not have that much faith.

Who the heck do humans think they are doing...thinking that God would make us like him? Pretty darn arrogant I think!! Doesn't this break Deadly sin #7? Who wrote that we are made in God's image? Obviously, someone needs to answer to God, and I mean pronto!

If so why?
If not why?
How do you define it?
Do you think that mankind possesses the ability to express this kind of love?

why does everyone refer to him as jesus christ? in researching the origins of his name.. you find that there wasn’t ever a J till centuries later... and they had transliterated his name into Greek.. but in Aramaic it is pronounced eeshoua,(it meant saviour) and the Etymology of christ is from the word christos, which in greek is a translation of Messiah.. which literally means "the anointed 1". infact why do we use the word GOD.. because its origins are from HINDU scripts!!! in Aramaic the word is ALAHA.. in Hebrew its ELOHIM, and Arabic ALLAH. considering Christianity came from the middle east.. why don’t we use any of these words and have replaced them with a Hindu 1?? Jehovah isn’t even how u pronounce the tetragammaton.. YVHV is an abbreviation according to JEWS! why did Christianity spread from ROME.. what do the ROMANS have to do with anything apart from crucifying christ? does no1 care about the council of nicea? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

The soul is the master of the body. One cannot be fulfilled if he's not working toward spiritual growth. Just like the hands and mouth cannot absorb energy directly from food but need to work in conjunction to satiate the stomach and then they get energy! Their goal is accomplished through serving. Similarly one must keep performing his Karma without worrying about the fruits for ultimate gain. Source: The Bhagvat Gita.
Do you really think people with such a deep understanding really need saving by jesus or they are destined for hell?

as it exists today?

Don't get me wrong. The first amendment is a genius concept. However I think we've unmistakibly stepped outside the bounds of the implied meaning of the constitution on this issue.

Let's think for a minute why the founders would create this ammendment? Were they afriad that Christians were going to be indotrinating their children with rubbish? Where they worried that the Bible might be placed outside a courthouse? Did they fear a nativity scene might spook them in the night?

The simple answer is of course no. It's clearly obvious that the founding fathers meant for the NATIONAL government should never create a national religion. For a time, many states even had state-wide sanctioned religion.

My point is that the idea that the U.S. hasn't always been married to Christianity is a farce. To cite Thomas Jefferson's idea of seperation of church and state actually bolsters the position of religion in this country.

If you love Muslims and Islam so much, what's wrong with moving to an Islamic nation? I'm not trying to sound flip, but many Jews in the US have moved to Israel. Many Rastafari who practice the true faith live in Ethiopia. Why are you all so adamant about coming to the west if you disagree with us so much and have to split your allegiance and call us heathen infidels? Why live in a nation of heathens when you can be among your brethren? Why not?

If you see Him in person and see what He can do, what then? Then it'll all be to late...

But like the Bible says : "Every knee shall bow.. "

Its like:
I dont believe in aliens but should it happen that they do exist and come to earth, i wont know what to do. Luckily for me, they dont decide who goes up or down...

I've read alot of answers and most of them are nonsense. People putting other people down, etc. It may be too much trouble to look up my original question(about 333), but it is still in the to be answered (open questions) column. If it is too much trouble, don't look for it, just don't whine about it. Can't we all just get along?

"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today."

What would it take for you to be "prepared" to change?
What locked in ideas keep you locked in your own cherished view of reality.

Why did you click on this question? Is it the word Evolution? Is it the picture of the asker? Is it the reputation of the asker?

According to the Theory of Evolution, some charachteristics that make the individual more appealing to members of the same species of the opposite sex have a greater likelihood of being passed on, due to successful mating probablity.

Applying this to yahoo answers, there are some traits which are appealing to members of the opposite sex within our species, humans.

Foremost amougst these, is perhaps intelligence.

Are we, as a species, going to become more "smart"?

Is it the appearance of smart that attracts you,

how do you really know if someone is smart or not?

Why would you be attracted to me, if it is only for me smarts,

According to the Theory of Evolution, there should be a few jim_darwin_jrs running around here in a few years, wouldn't you agree?

Why or why not?

Is sense of humor on the list of "traits"?
