How many times do I have to explain it? The sister group of the apes is the Old World monkeys. The apes have evolutionary novelties that distinguish them from the monkeys, but there are no evolutionary novelties that distinguish monkeys from apes. Monkeys are a paraphyletic group. The apes (ourselves included) came from monkeys.

All together now:

The nearest common ancestor of humans and apes was an ape.

The nearest common ancestor of humans, apes, and monkeys was a monkey.

The nearest common ancestor of humans, apes, monkeys, and fish was a fish.

Got it?

Is there any instances where God does something, directly, or indirectly to influence a persons life? Obviously there are stories where he talks to people, like Noah. But are there instances where he does something that directly influences an individuals life. I'm not looking for things like the flood, since that obviously influences a lot of lives. But like lets say someone was about to do something, and God does something to change or stop that.

thanks.

For example, a lot of people follow the ten commandments, most of which are the same as laws. YOu know, be good because God is watching and if you're bad you go to hell or whatever.

And the sun runs (one course) into a "Resting Place" that is the decree of exalted in Might The "All Knowing"

36:38 (yasin)

THE HOLY QURAN ON THE SUN'S RESTING PLACE




"Resting place" is the translation of the Arabic word " Mustaqarr" which indicates an exact appointed place and fixed time. According to modern astronomy, the solar system is indeed moving in space at a rate of 12 miles per second towards a point situated in the constellation of Hercules (alpha lyrae) whose exact location has been precisely calculated.

Furthermore, astronomers have named that "Mustaqarr": The Solar Apex.



The notion of "a resting place" for the sun is vividly described in the Holy Qur'an

For instance, people just go out of their way and make religion their whole life, sure they can do it since it's their choice, but for religion to restrict your whole way of life is just unfair, especially if you're having that belief pushed onto you by overbearing parents.

Isn't religion supposed to enhance your life? In the case of a few of my friends, their parents won't let them hang around with boys, they have to be afraid of making any kind of mistake because their parents will punish them, and one of them is 21! The parents are religious, but they are just so overbearing. What do you think?

If evolutionists say that monekys evolved into humans by the process of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and such theories...than why are they no longer evolving...a even better question...why do they still exist if a higher form has evolved?

So what, you ask? If you don't think it matters, don't answer. But if you are a good Jew, you will care and probably know. When the eclipse occurred during the crucifixion, the sun was obscured as it sat in the constellation of Aries. Therefore, Aries would have been prominent and anyone looking at the eclipse would have seen Aries in the sky. As handed down from Noetic tradition, Aries is the symbol of the lamb who was to be slain. This eclipse would have been up in the SW sky. I'd like to think that Christ faced NE on the cross so that when the eclipse occurred, those gathered around to gaze upon Him would have easily seen the astral phenomenon.

Religious people say that God created everyone. They also say that He's perfect. Why, then, are gays so hated by some religious people?

A prominent Islamc group in Britian has condemned the Sudanese punishement against the British teacher...yet CAIR in America hasnt?

First, it should be noted that, in England, Islamic terror is an even bigger concern and the government as been cracking down bigtime. So its natural to expect Islamists in England to start softening their rhetoric simply as a matter of self preservation.

On the other hand, CAIR in America has no worries about self preservation, because in America, there is no anti-islamic backlash. Hate crimes have only peaked against jews, not Muslims. So, CAIR doesnt need to back off its Islamist agenda and thus, doesnt need to contradict any mainstream Islamic views, as the British group has.

I went to Catholic grade school and was taught that God is omniscient, which means that He's all-knowing. I was also told that He's omnipotent, which means that He's all-powerful. It stands to reason that He's all-good. When it comes to belief in God, though, child rape is a big problem for me.

If God is all-knowing, then He knows that a rape of a child is about to happen. If He's all-powerful, it means that it's within His ability to stop it. If He's all-good, it means that He would want to stop it.

Why, then, does He not stop little kids from being raped?

And if I pick the name all of you vote for as the best, do you think I should lose my job, get 40 lashes, 6 months in jail and close down my place of employment because of death threats?

I once heard a guy say to me, " You arent tired of Christians and Christianity but you are tired of the hypocrites that practice it."
I really believe this could be the smartest thing that anyone has ever said to me.
I do indeed hate religion though.
So do you agree with the sentence or do you just hate religion in general?

I had a cat named Morgan (le Feyline) Emmeline. My new kitten is Mageia Samatha. (Mageia is Greek for magic. I call her Maggie.) I also had an Andromeda (who I called Ande). All of these names stem from my witchiness. Were your pet names or children names inspired by your faith?

I saw a question earlier asking why creationism isn't taught in american schools. This got me thinking and my question for those intelligent design people out there is this: what do you teach? I'm trying to envision a class period devoted to ID, that doesn't involve a specific religion (If you teach one, you gotta teach 'em all). What would the teacher talk about? God, an omnipotent being, made everything you see in an instant. Where do you go after that if you're not going to inject specific religions?
