    Because this forum needs some humor

    What I find unusual is that a computer made of meat is able to derive pleasure from a combination of words designated as "corny"...that's pretty cool...

    Healed by God?

    I am generally a skeptical guy (although I have witnessed some odd, possibly miraculous things occur, whom I personally attribute to God), but this caught my eye, and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. It's not a healing miracle, but it's one that has a lot of videos and testimonies...

    Intelligent Design - another failure

    A question from the less educated among us...forgive me if i take this statement too literally... How does Darwinian selection account for the presence of genetic information? I've been doing some reading, and would love to hear others opinions on this question...or to find some good sources...

    Earth Underwater?

    I don't think they were concerned with the biblical flood, but more with Genesis 1:2 "Now the earth was without form and void, and the spirit of God hovered over the surface of the waters." They said that primordial earth was covered in the stuff (didn't posit a source though), and that the...

    Earth Underwater?

    This was inspired by a thread in the general apologetics section, and got me remembering about books long past...I read (I forget where) that there as a point in the earth's existence where it was actually covered in water. Then, supposedly, another planet or satellite hit it, and knocked the...

    IF you found out that the bibble is wrong

    If I died and found out that some other Buddhism was true, then I'd thank whatever for the fact that I could try again, and perhaps get it right. I'd be glad, too, because I've always liked Buddhism. If I died and found out Islam was true, then I would apologize to Allah, but say that I did...

    Shaolin Kung Fu

    I studied Qi for about a year. One of the most interesting, and life-changing experiences I've ever had. You know there is more to existence when you are able to see without eyes and concentrate/move internal energy flow to the outside of the body. I stopped though, due to a near posession...

    Can God create a rock big enough...

    I think I'll quote from a page I read on this... First, Omnipotence has historically been understood as the ability to perform any task consistent with His character and essence. (At least that's the classical definition/understanding of it). This would exclude 'things' like... Re his...

    Refutation of creationevidence.org #1

    Well posted Arikay :) I am wondering if you have ever checked out reasons.org...they're a creationist website, but acknowledge things like the fossil record, carbon dating, etc. They disagree with evolution though, and present some decent evidence for that claim...I don't know enough about...

    Darwin Confesses evolution not being conceivable!

    What about Historical Contingency? I have read that that the same evolution cannot be repeated. The actual process of evolution doesn't allow for repetition of the same natural selection and historical sequence. But there have been several morphologically indentical, yet genetically unique...

    what are some of your favorite quotes of all time..?

    I think my favorite quote would have to be a nice Bible verse that applies to the human condition... "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly"-Proverbs 6:19 I believe... "Over thirty parameters of the universe have been identified that must be carefully fixed in value...
