Today I read a Christian on R&S state he didn;t like evolution because it 'gives no hope' and that it is 'just a theory' (sic).

I wonder, do any other Christians here discount scientific theory (such as gravity) because they feel that science doesn't have enough 'hope'?

Do you think evolutionary science (such as the development of vaccines) gives no hope? or should these scientists cease their vanity and pray instead?

No, I am not musli9m, but my Muslim frinds say they don't really understand it either. Is this a Muslim, or Sudan thing?

If Muslim, are YOU offended. If so, why?

Does the infraction deserve 40 lashes or beheading?

I just don't get it.

good- what is considered of God's will and all his actions without regard to human empathy or one's own innate notions of right and wrong

Hey, all women do this. Without it there would be no babies.

Leviticus 15

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

that they have made? I'm an Atheist from the United States and I find this trend very troubling. It worries me because I have always admired how Europeans are more socially liberal and how they don't have as many fanatical evangelicals as we do, but now with all the Muslims moving in at such an alarming rate I'm worried that the E.U. might become too religious.

dogma.
I mean I can understand being faithful to your beliefs...but would you be faithful to the point where it causes you to essentially lose your child?
I can not grasp this..

Why do the priest have to get permission to do an exorcism? Isn't it just a prayer, Jesus didn't have to get permission to cast out demons, the holy spirit empowered him to do so

We don't hear the stories of the millions of people who have prayed about Joseph Smith and experienced either...

a) nothing (because no one answered the prayer)

or

b) a really bad feeling that was interpreted as an answer from God.

Do we?

There's 3 paragraphs, so please read all 3 before posting answers.

"Information is not something derived from material properties; in a sense, it transends matter and energy. Naturalistic theories that rely solely onmatter and energy are not going to be able to account for information. Only intelligence can. I think that realization is going to progressively dawn on more and more people, especially younger scientists who have grown up in the age of information technology.

"Today we buy information, we sell it, we regard it as a commodity, we value it, we send it down wires and bounce it off satellites--- and we know it invariably comes from intelligent agents. So what do we make of the fact that there's information in life? What do we make of the fact that DNA stores far more information in a smaller space than the most advanced supercomputer on the planet?

Out of simple curiosity. I don't understand. The "ist" tag is added to people who study all sorts of things ... biologIST; entymologIST; cardiologIST; botanIST; chemIST; physisIST; astronomIST.. and so on..

Should these people also take offense? No disrepect intended. I would just like to understand.

And is teaching something that is entirely incorrect considered child abuse? Another example would be teaching that reading books are the only way you can die. Would this too be considered child abuse?

So we're almost 2000 years since He said He'd be back.

Should we wait 5000 years, 10,000 years? I think after 10,000 years we can call it off.

Just live your life and let God handle the bad apples. If you come across one and it disrespects who you are and what you believe, have something to say then to them.

Then continue finding the goodness in life through what God has given you. Whatever that might be.

Why spend your time on them and not strengthening the "good apples" together with yourself?
