If we treat him as a God, he is something we can never be and do not expect it to be possible to live up to. But if he was only a man, this is how great we can be if we try. This is something our species has to be proud of. Isn't this one of the reasons why we should deserve the stars? A thousand years from now human beings will be out there among these stars. Some of them will have Bibles; and at regular intervals nominated as Sundays, some of them will be doing things and saying things in remembrance of Jesus of Nazareth.
Does this inspire you? Does it irritate you, or fill you with despair? Or does it amuse you?

What was the purpose of all the prehistoric creatures who dominated the earth at one time?

Do you also have that line of reasoning for viruses?

How about parts of the earth where nothing else is able to exist except for flies and algae?

Do you really think it all comes down to them fitting in to something humans need?

I'm sorry but I find it all obnoxious and ego-centric.

In a world full of war and murder could this actually mean anything? Or that it makes an ounce of sense to say that someone can die "for" the sins of other people, although this death is followed by a hundred generations of people who continue to endure injustice and suffering and continue committing sins, and turning other people into innocent victims of it, as if this alleged "sacrifice" had never happened. This man died for you? So what? Has it ever protected you from accident or disease or crime? What measurable or detectable difference does it make?
Are we so feeble-minded that we can not encourage people to base their lives on values and principles, without the hope and fear of some alleged reward or punishment after death? Could we not teach morality far more effectively to future generations by basing it on compassion, sympathy and ethical debate, rather than on "revelation" with which no argument is possible?

Doesn't it always seems as if people who insist on their "faith" have never been taught how to think? Do they realise that they do not have just one single article of faith (e.g. in the resurrection), but that they are working on the assumption that the whole thing hangs together? Don't they really have to make dozens and then hundreds of interconnected "leaps of faith", until it becomes ridiculous, cosmically absurd? They have to have faith that there is a God, faith that he talked to the Jews, that he told them the truth, faith that people thousands of years ago knew what they were talking about, faith that wild prophets hallucinating under the desert sun were talked to by God, and that they passed his words on correctly, and that the people who wrote them down did so accurately. There is faith in the concepts of Messiah and Suffering Servant, faith in Mary Magdalene having gone to the right tomb.
Shouldn't we be atught to think before we're taught to believe?

Whose got the "Primordal soup mix" recipe? I'd like to find out what else was in it.

Was it just rock dust and rainwater? Or did it have some monosodium galutamate too?

Did aliens pee in it or something?

Why is it called "soup". If you pee in some mud, would you call it "soup"?

What ingredients in today's soup were in the primordal soup?

Can we call it "primordal mud" from now on?

After all, nobody was there to declare it Mmm-mmm good.

This is a link to a 5 week old embryo. We look like a disgusting mutant tadpoles! I'm just saying, if in 9 months we can go from looking like that to becoming beautiful babies, why is is so hard to believe that over millions of years humans evolved from primates?

What do you think about that reasoning?

And about creatures which never see the light of day who live miles below the ocean's surface?

Surely they can't think that every single living thing created has some grand purpose which links them to something humans need?

Re. Gen. 1. When did God create the angels? Obviously before "The Creation Week?" I've heard that, "In the Beginning" is not the literal translation of Gen 1:1, but it really means, "In a beginning..." Any profound comments on these thoughts?

straight line in my life, I always took the good with the bad.I'm very respectful,don't sleep around,don't do drugs,I don't drink,I would give the shirt off my back if I could help someone. But something horrible happened the past few months that I didn't feel I deserved.My ex now who I was with for almost two years, we took it slow & he seemed great, good family, but he had depressive problems that he wanted to and would commit suicide b/c he got a onenight stand pregnant bf we met.Of course I helped him come to terms with it,only for him to leave me to be with the mom.They r not together anymore.But he became so cold and hurtful,I got so fed up with being taken advantage of I yelled at him to the high heavens,I even felt guilty for that. After, all came rushing back to me, his constant suicide threats,I feel he messed with my head. For once,I really thought God gave me something good in my life&it turned out horrible.To top itoff,I found out when I was ill in hospital
had 2surgeries

One piece of evidence that humans are evolving is the fact that we find healthy, fit people more attractive than the average person (think of people you don't already know who you would most like to have offspring with, say if you were marooned on an island - they are likely to have pretty good genes, right?). You might say, "AHA!, but why then are there any unattractive people at all?" The answer is the Shrek Effect - there are plenty of other unattractive people to pair up with. You might then say, "Hey, but that would lead to disruptive selection that would isolate the two extremes from sharing genes and lead to speciation!" My thought is that sexual reproduction is effective at mixing genes (recombination, etc), plus you do see a lot of people who get lucky with people out of their league.

What do you think?
I know this belongs in the biology section, but I like the group of people in R and S more. Over there it's like I'm helping everyone with their homework.

Jesus teaches us to forgive, to turn thy cheek. But how many times am I supposed to forgive someone without becoming a doormat? How many times is someone supposed to wrong me and I just keep telling them that I forgive them and they turn around and do it again? I just don't understand this. When is it time to say, enough is enough??
