    The Koran like the Bible states a Non-Moving Earth.

    I think you're misunderstanding what math really is and thinking it's something more complex than it is. If you see 2 sticks, you have 2 sticks. It's not based on some kind of understanding of words and concepts that you have 2 sticks, it's just a fact that you happen to have infront of you, 2...

    What's the Best Scientific Evidence found in your Religion?

    I didn't see any scientific evidence in your post, Sculelos. I really don't think any religious text has any scientific background, there is water on the planet but you really don't even need to be a man of science, religion or both to notice water.

    Religionists worship anti-religious god?

    I have to agree here, there are parts of the bible that seem to be instructions, not just stories about talking snakes which are obviously just stories. It talks specifically about slavery and how to treat your slaves, I'm not sure how you would 'interpret' that in a different way other than to...

    What if lots of people break a law?

    Wikipedia has a whole article about this apparently, of which I had no idea about until just now. There is a huge list of animals on this list but yes, chicken doesn't seem to be one of them. Unclean animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, the owl and pelican both qualify for...

    Bad knees

    you go from a standing position, to sitting like your pooping but you use your arms to balance yourself. Like this! Girls are always relevant.

    Created for a Reason

    Life from scratch is vague, I know they're close to making viable organs from stem cells but not about making new life itself, not without a female host. Also yes cloning has been successfully achieved. Dolly (sheep) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However in the next 50 years we could all...

    Why can't a hindu get birth in a muslim family ?

    I agree it sounds weird that if you were a Muslim before in the previous life and your belief is that you will go to heaven, you instead come back as a hindu and in your next life end up Muslim again. It would contradict the teachings of the Muslim faith, wouldn't it? If we assume that rebirth...

    What if lots of people break a law?

    Unclean to you could be interpreted as making someone sick, I'm not sure if they would've had a good idea of what sickness was back then so a good description for something that would be almost guaranteed to infect you could be "unclean," although I'm relying on that translation of the text for...

    World vs Word

    Being young doesn't have anything to do with stability, young people are the least stable people I've ever seen. Needing everything to be stable makes a person boring, it sure feels safe when everything seems stable, but there is no place for something like adventuring, hiking or fun in general...

    World vs Word

    Yes.. Why does stability make something good? sounds more like boring.

    Fail of the day

    I was in a rush to get to work tonight and didn't have a whole lot of spare food on hand, so I put some milk in a plastic container and some cereal in another and threw them in my backpack. When I got to work only a little bit of the milk had leaked out in to the bottom of my pack, but thats...

    Children Die After Parents Choose Prayer Over Medicine

    I agree entirely, I read of one where a girl had a staph infection in her leg and she sat on a couch for 3 months while it festered and her leg rotted to almost nothing, when her neighbours finally took her to the hospital because she was friends with their not-of-the-same-faith daughter, I...

    Atheists and Agnostics - you're missing all the fun!!

    I don't know what will happen when I die, but I'm also not going to worry about it because it's inevitable. I will die and no matter what occurs, I will make sure that I'm content with what I've done. Not knowing what will happen and not having faith that I will be brought to heaven doesn't make...

    Children Die After Parents Choose Prayer Over Medicine

    The original topic was about faith healing letting a child die. The argument on whether it was blind faith or faith is irrelevant because to those people that faith isn't blind, to them it's just faith so whose term are you going to take for true in this context? According to the bible or their...

    Atheists and Agnostics - you're missing all the fun!!

    This is pretty much exactly what I would have said, but I'd take one tiny piece of that away, because it just seems like it's extra and unnecessary when I see it: 1- Being in peace with others 2- Being in peace with one's life, i.e. being content with what we have 3- Having peace of mind 4-...

    Who does god answer to?

    I liked the exit, it was clear, concise and mature. Unlike much of what you've been saying so far. Some people don't view Jesus sacrifice as him being sacrificed by God for us, logically that's what we conclude given the circumstances of his (alleged) arrival on this plane but I know some who...

    Atheists and Agnostics - you're missing all the fun!!

    But what is inner peace to you in this instance? Is it just having a belief in God, or actually being at peace with what you believe and understand? Having inner peace may come easier with a belief in God, but I wouldn't say that only the religious will attain it for themselves. Anyone who...

    Atheists and Agnostics - you're missing all the fun!!

    The thing is, if you are constantly trying to better your life and the lives of those around you, you'll constantly grow whether or not you're religious. You seek spiritual enlightenment and by contrast, I seek intellectual enlightenment. In the end, the result is the same, except I'll keep...

    Atheists and Agnostics - you're missing all the fun!!

    I don't see how any of those things are different from the other. Sure I could live in the mansion, but do I really need all that extra space and fancy things to be happy and have a good life? Sure, I could be playing on the beach and in the sand instead, but whats wrong with mud? it's just wet...

    Dawkins once again reveals his bigotry towards Muslims

    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what is known as "Taking the speakers meaning out of context for your own purposes." He obviously doesn't like Richard Dawkins and is really looking for any reason whatsoever to call him a bigot and islamophobe. I'm in agreement with Pat Condell on this one, I don't...
