    Are there any magicians who do "real" magic?

    One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge - Wikipedia I'd consider any of these things mediumship, dowsing, remote viewing, detecting "auras" etc as "magic" No one was able to prove they could and the challenge had been around for ~20+ years. I'd so love to see any psychics, or any other magic...

    Beautiful Gay (A Short Creative Essay)

    There is definitely a loss in interest in sex when a male [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] (or at least it is true for me). However, I can then cuddle, play video games, watch a movie, go for a run, with my significant other and feel happy afterwards. Or we can cuddle for 5 to 15 min, and go at it again. :blush: This...

    why do we say "bless you" to someone sneezing?

    My mom told me our hearts stop beating while we sneeze or something so we say bless you in case they die. She told me that sooooo long ago (had to be 6 or 7)I don't remember if i repeated it correctly. Just thought i'd throw that out there. It is very intriguing that most people do it.

    Evolution of Dreams

    I just watched Waking Life at school and various topics regarding the spiritual and scientific nature of man were brought up. Throughout the entire movie the main character is dreaming. He gets into all sorts of discussions that had philosophy and science intertwined and I wondered, what is the...

    YEC dates

    I have a rather simple question to ask, and feel sort of silly asking it. I always hear YEC believe the earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old. How exactly do they come up with this number?

    Why would Jesus..

    Yeah... I knew what you meant, but this still doesnt answer my question. How or what could he have possibly imagined when creating us and our environment? Why would he allow us to be hurt by something we have absolutely no control over. I think the only honest answer is "i don't know," which is...

    Why would Jesus..

    You know he values the spiritual aspect of us above the physical, but what about when he supposedly created us and our environment? Was he concerned then? what is "too concerned"? so he doesnt really care that he created something that kills innocent beings, or not much anways, he was just...

    Why would Jesus..

    This is one of the primary obstacles stopping me from ever believing in God. The problem of evil is too much for me. I couldn't imagine a being with infinite power would allow children to suffer. Even the natural disasters. If God loves us so much, why would he create something that can...

    Teacher's comment, "Evidence for the Resurrection"

    :o Is this a joke? I dont get it :( Not up for debate or discussion just because its a science class? We were lectured on extrasensory perception and had to learn about the various types (clarivoyance, telepathy, etc) even though they had no scientific evidence as people actually believe in...

    Teacher's comment, "Evidence for the Resurrection"

    Didnt know exactly what forum to put this in, but I suppose it relates to this. In my psychology class we were discussing near-death experiences and that no one was ever believed to have come back (and tell us about the otherside, or if theres another side at all) to our world except one man...

    Moral Status of an Unborn Child

    But people are already people... fetuses are not, you seem to think I need to state them as morally equal first... but I admit they are not, and dont need to establish their equal worth, because they arent... it would be impossible. You are essentially saying fetuses have absolutely no worth and...
