Years ago, I had the greatest evidence there's something very wrong with our society. There was a big prision riot here in Brazil; during the chaos, dozens of people died, mostly in-mates. Then, one of our leading newspapers published a photo of the victims, lined waiting the autopsy. We...

Considering imigrating? - We are the people who, percentually, stays the longer connected on broadband internet: more than an hour per day/user. You'll feel like home - Latelly, we have a currency stronger than US dollar. You can send some money to your dear ones who remained in US - Also, we...

This may not help you much, but... I was raised Catholic. Had special calsses in church, went thru first mass, confirmation, the works. And I was chocked when I learned about the existence of the creationist movement. I never considered the idea that the evolution mechanisms could, in any...

Repeat, indeed: http://christianforums.com/showthread.php?p=45118535#post45118535

His kind of argument can bring problems to the creationism side, too. Adam named all the creatures, right? So, how come the anteater received this name, if there was no death before fall? And the black widow, too. Without death, frow where came the concept of "widow"? And in a sinless...

I was trying to give a complete answer. I'd say the evolution of man is testable. See lactose tolerance, the fact we're getting taller and less hairy, the fact that parents with a normal gene have kids with this gene with a mutation.

I'd say you are wrong. The creation of man is not testable, and we don't have any evidence about it The mechanisms of evolution are testable, and we have plenty of evidences about the evolution of man

Ok, in that case, please keep reading. My final paragraph begins with "even without answering this", even without knowing about the presence or no of past memories (that would be fake), I tried to answer.

You created a man with pockets, or created clothes ex nihilo, too? Like some said, that question can't be answered without knowing if the man has memories of a past, if has body marks of operations, accidents. I am not even sure he can understand the note you gave him - he can read, or not...

Well, I’d hope to teach any daughter or son of mine a lot about how to protect themselves in intimate moments. I hope to be able to show then how to avoid such situations. But that’s not on the OP, right? So, I will not take the father in question, either. For all I know, he ran away to...

I agree. And, in the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus Showed the Will of God has nothing to do with one or other religious interpretation, but how we treat our neighbor. But, if your theological interpretation is right, you are hereby authorized to make niah, niah, niah to me from Heaven...

Wow, wow, easy there, Simonline. I didn't intend to attack anyone. I just guided Noted to that forum because, for study and research purpose, he would have a more ample view of the subject. I was not trying to impose a "truth/non truth" dichotomy, just showing where he could get more info...

Hello, Noted. Welcome. Well, first things first. I think posting such questions at the general apologetics area of this site will bring you more diverse answers. In that area you can have answer of christians of traditional denominations, buddhists, follower of judaism, islam, pagan religions...

I don't see much a problem with it, unless it's forbidden in a very explicit way; actually, I just have problems with people who take children under six/seven to movies :o

If open Theism means basically the ideas on my signature, ditto and ditto. :hug: As I understand, "orthodox" in this site means those who follow the Nicea Creed verbatin. Adding a "sort of", "in a way" after a verse may be enough to one be considered unorthodox. But I have for me those...

Well, according your reasoning, I could also ask why it is moral to let another citizen die because you are not willing to help saving his life. Human Lives x dollars. The morality is like this: you pay, mr. Smith lives. You refuse to pay, he dies.

Ditto in everything. Allow me to join you in an evil laugh. Mwa. Mwahahah Mwa-hahahahahahahahah :ebil:

My first option, too. Second option, try to pull a 1001 Nights trick on him. Start telling a history and never end it. Or, at least, keep him entertained untill the police arrives. 3rd option, being a bit logical here: I need the man so we can both figure out a way to outsmart/escape the...

Actually, Eletric Cars were never as popular as they are today. Just ask any londoner. Sometimes, an idea arrives a bit too early, and it is crushed easily. Happened in the States, the first time you tried to popularize football (ya, unbelievers, call it "soccer") in your country. Even with...

Two possible scenarios: a) we officialy contact the tribe, give then some protection, learn about their culture/habits/language. In a couple of decades, they are absorved by civilization, only keeping one or two of their traditions, what is common to native tribes all over the world. b) we...
