Got your attention. Yes, I know how biology works, but some cultures, like Judaism, theorized that PH Levels in the woman affects which Spermatozoon wins the race.

What's causing the decreasing male birth rate? Census Bureau figures show that Male birth rates has dropped from 66% to 49% of the total, in the last 25 years. Europe's been seeing a similar change. Statistically, the first/second child a woman has is likely to be a male. But, increasingly, these children are aborted or prevented from developing.

Could we be heading for a cultural change resulting in less living/breathing males? The majority of Blue Collar jobs are done by men. These are jobs that most women simply will not apply for, such as electricians, steel millers, high steel walkers, sewer and mine workers, etc. What will happens if this trend continues? Will a sub-culture form of individuals who are forced to do these jobs, beginning with white collar males giving up the desk jobs and soft hands for calisuses?

And i'm not talking about the causes of dying, such as accidents or illnesses. I simply wonder the moment of dying...that one second. Would it hurt?

Leviticus 11:20... All flying insects that walk on all FOURS are to be detestable to you.
21... There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all FOURS that you may eat: those that have jounted legs for hopping on the ground.
22... Of these you may eat of any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.
23... But all other winged creatures that have FOUR legs you are to detest.

Do you really think the Bible should be used as a SCIENCE book?

Since when do insects have four legs?

Before you reply back that crickets and grasshoppers have 4 legs for creeping and 2 more for hopping, I urge you to go watch one walk... they creep on all 6.

1. Since evil and suffering exist, a Loving God cannot exist.
2. Since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true.
3. Evolution explains life, so God isn't needed
4. God sin't worthy of worship if he kills innocent children.
5. It's offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God.
6. A loving God wouldn't torture people in hell.
7. Church history is littered with oppression and violence.

Then check out The Case for Faith: Lee Strobel.

I just got it for like $8 at amazon and it answers all these questions/objections.

This was the response of Nicodemus to Jesus' statement, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Jesus explains further that a man cannot enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and of the Spirit. The Spirit is the Holy Spirit (God), but what is the "water?

atheists like to say that the Bible is a work of fiction.

then they turn around and say that God is a serial killer because of things written in the Old Testament.

This is confusing me, can anyone set me straight?

I ask this because this one simple thing. Most people that believe in god say he created the universe. If this is so that means he created everything in the world. Every galaxy every plant...etc

So in my logic if you think all of that then why would he/she/it only create one type of life form...only one planet with anyone living on it...so many thing that we will never reach.

I don't particularly need it for anything; according to the NPV concept from finance I should get cash for it now and re-invest in other areas.

did you ever find any special traits in spiritual personalities, like flying in the sky, make-alive the dead, walking on river etc,. And why is it we respect them at all? Is it for their only verbal discourses and quotings from books and scriptures like many other political and social leaders by speech! And would it not possible to read those books by ourselves like many other self-development books? Apart from their own religious bias and narrowed vision from their scriptures, PARTICULARLY THAN TALKING...TALKING...TALKING for all the time, as if they are nearest to God and going to live for another thousand years,is there any real use by their service and presence? Kindly tell me your opinion openly!

That their cherished Cambrian explosion that they like to cite as an argument against evolution occured 542 million years ago. What a supreme irony-creationists are using an argument that absolutely destroys young earth creationism.

...It seems like many begin simple ("Love God") and then become complicated ("and read this book, and believe he did this, and deny that")....
Are there any religions that are basic in their belief system?

And it is something that most christians can't understand.
There is ZERO proof or evidence to support the existence of your magic sky pixie, none. Yet you persist in saying that there is proof. Fine, provide it. You'd be the first person in history to do so.

Let me see if I can explain it in terms you christians can understand;
If I were to say that I worship a magic milk jug that grants my every wish and never get's empty no matter how often I pour milk from it, would you believe me?
No, of course not. Such an asinine comment would simply be ignored. But suppose I kept pestering you, kept saying I had "proof" would you believe? Or would you finally say "fine, show me the proof"?
You'd want proof wouldn't you? Yet when pressed for proof, what would you say if I simply said "well you just have to have faith, the magic milk jug doesn't allow scrutiny or tests.
What would you say?
Just like we do in regard to your magic sky-pixie you call 'god' we shake our heads and leave.

All I can figure is that it did not exist. Otherwise, how can one explain why Noah, his family, and all the various animals were not crushed under the extreme pressure caused by the evaporation of the worldwide flood? Everyone already knows that all the water could not have seeped into the ground because the ground was already saturated from the flood.
