According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions, the Old Testament includes writings considered apocryphal by Protestants. The New Testament contains four Gospels (Matthew...
"According to Guinness World Records as of 1995, the Bible is the best selling book yet written with an estimated 5 billion copies sold and distributed. Sales estimates for other printed religious texts include at least 800 million copies for the Qur'an and 190 million copies for the Book of...
There was a start to the universe. Kind of, more or less. Like it blasted from a teeny, tiny substance. Moses knew the universe had a beginning. How did he know that? No telescopes, no space travel...so how do you think Moses knew that there was a beginning to the existence of the universe...
So let's see -- is the following true as far as you are concerned?
"Why Are Species So Confusing?
The central difficulty when studying species is that, even though all species are kinds of organisms, all kinds of organisms are not species. For example, birds are a kind of organism, but birds are...
Assuming this is the right forum to discuss this as peacefully as possible, I am learning somewhat (although for me it's hard to understand) about Spinoza's concept of God. So one comment reads, I'm just going to center on a few sentences because otherwise for me it gets too confusing.

Let's try. So I'm looking at an introduction to evolution. (Evolution 101) And little by little I'd like to discuss it without rancor, if possible. This is from berkeley edu. It starts by giving a definition of evolution, saying, "Biological evolution, simply put, is descent with inherited...

“It’s a very humbling set of experiments,” Venter says.
It’s how much they don’t know that’s really...
The question has been brought up by more than one that the accounts in the Bible by Luke and Matthew differ insofar as when Jesus was born. I am hoping to have a decent discussion as to the various opinions and explanations about this. It gets kind of deep as far as I am concerned since I am not...
Once again, we're back to dates. (OK, I'm back to dates.) So reading assertions about the earliest civilizations, I notice a difference of dates for starters. But let's start with one description of an early civilization, the Indus civilization. From the Encyclopedia Britannica: -- notice the...
But others welcome -- HOWEVER, it has been said that belonging to the Jewish religion is by MATERNAL lineage, do I have this right? To be born considered as a Jew somehow ethnically or otherwise, it's the mother's affiliation or birthright or whatever that counts, unless of course a synagogue...
The discussion is about SCIENCE -- Creation -- and religion. How do you define science, first of all? One definition of science: (yes, I know there are different "branches" of science, but looking for a broad definition):
Science: "The systematic study of the structure and behavior of the...
Not sure if this is the right forum for this discussion but I'd like to hear opinions as to what is a "secular" Jew. From Jews and non-Jews if possible.

Question For You About Evolution, God And Death
So I read that scientists have discovered a black hole then a huge hole in the sun -- so what's to say the sun will definitely burn up and the Earth will not be existing any more? You can debate all you want to, but I am convinced science does not have the "answers" to life. Anyway. MSN...
