I assume G-d created the laws of nature -- knowing what the outcome would be eventually, but didn't play an actual role in development (since he already knew what the end game was). I'm not sure how that would be classified -- but I always thought of it as TE.

Darwin's Black Box was "peer reviewed" only to see if it would sell -- the science was not looked at. This was clearly established in Kitzmiller vs DASD.

If anything, Jews and Muslims worship the same God -- the God of Abraham. Christian's are the odd man out -- adding entities to God such as Jesus & the Holy Spirit. They recongize the God of Abraham as well, but seem to get confused on how the various god figures are reconciled into one god...

W/O looking at how that sudy was created, it seems to me that a greater incidence of cervical cancer in women whith a hx of birth control use is obvious. Not because of the birth control itself, but because people who are not using B/C (out of a random population sample) are less likely to have...

Two warring concepts in my mind. What these people (my grandparents included) are doing is illegal. The DA's, police, customs agents, etc. should not be deciding what laws are good or bad to enforce. That decision is "above their paygrade." That being said, having unenforced laws on the...

Yea... 'cept over 50% of convicted molesters were molesting a family member or family friend. I support reporting to the local human services agency, not neccissarily to parents. There are too many cases of dad doing the molesting and mom covering it up.

Luddites?

We always called it a Chanuka Bush :)

Most Christians don't subscribe to creationism... try again. Creationists are a small subset of Protestant Christians, most of which are found in the United States.

Artscroll isn't available online... the '85 JPS translation can be found at www.chabad.com. There is no such thing as an "authoritative" English translation, since the languages can't be translated word for word.

My state recently passed a new law which I think is generally ok... Age 16+ is the general age of consent Age 14+ can consent to sex with someone within 3 years of their age. Age 13- and less than three years difference -- its handled as a child custody / parenting issue, can lead to revocation...

From Jews for Judaism... There is entire bible study, this is just the first portion.

Also, the JPS '85 is fairly accurate in Torah translation, but the Prophets and Writings are not as complete. Take a look at the Artscroll for probably the best English translation by Jews.

Interesting thing I heard if there are any pilots around... Apparently, due to the automation built into these airplanes, its impossible to do a "touch-and-go" aborted landing. Once the wheels hit, automation takes over and starts applying breaks, reversing thrusters, and deploying flaps...

(My Jewish perspective follows) Something important to point out -- Islam and Judaism are theologically closer to each other than Nicene Creed Based Christianity is to either. From a Jewish standpoint, the Islamic religion as practiced is in accord with the Noahide laws, thus Muslims who...

You ask a tricky question -- but here is a fairly good initial answer. For more info, take a look at the rest of this article from jewfaq.org

My problem is an either or situation. They are either POW's, with all the Geneva convention rights that come with the same, or they are criminals -- with the right to a speedy trial, a jury of their peers, and to confront the evidence against them. You get one or the other, not to pick and...

The simple answer is we don't claim to be the "one true religion". We merely claim that it is the one "true" religion for Jews (be they born or converted). Outsider's religion is historically none of our conern. In many ways apolgetics, at least as the word is used in most Christian circles...

From the way it looks, you have a real faith issue here. Either Jesus was Elohiem, or he wasn't. If he wasn't, then worship of him breaks most important laws of the Hebrew Testament. Saying he is Elohiem is troublesome because his own words refute that. This is where the whole faith issue...
