That might be hard, but not impossible if he has a decent grasp of church history and a working knowledge of one of the two major languages of the Roman Empire (Latin and Greek). Just about all of the books of the New Testament were written in the first century, and most of the basic traditions...

Spent more on Social Security last year, as well. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/ Warning, lots of rather dull charts to dig through to get the information. Adding 80% of the payments towards the national debt to the total for military spending is absurd, especially under the...

The Iraq war has certainly spiked Defense Department spending, but Social Security still trumps the military for federal spending. http://www.federalbudget.com/

I was about to post that I hadn't, but then I remembered eleventh grade AP English. :wave: I hit the link to the "Problem of Evil" assignment, and I could see why it wouldn't be appropriate for a public high school, where religion is a touchy subject. I would expect them to just ask the guy...

:) I also rather doubt that the writer, or any of the thousands upon thousands that heard the story over the next few thousand years, were too dull to notice what seemed like differences, too. I agree with your analogy that the two stories are like two newspaper stories, both true but...

From one of the few wikipedia articles I've seen with decent citations. "Despite these differences, Canada is by far the United States' largest trading partner, with more than $1.7 billion CAD in trade per day in 2005. This relationship represents 81% of exports and 67% of imports for Canada...

You mean the one that lays things out a certain way and the one that appears to contradict it in places? :) P.S. The key word here is appears, of course. I'm not pretending that I know their are irreconciable differences in the two accounts, but they there are a few points in them that appear...

:sorry: Which one, the one in Chapter 1, or in Chapter 2?

If it helps any I have 5 more credit hours than normal this semester and I'm still working as many hours as ever so it might be going down before I graduate. :cool:

I could be wrong, but since this forum is in life stages, I think it's for people around college age to post in, not just for posts about college, so I'd think any question would be fine. :)

To quote a favorite cartoon show of mine, "I don't know whether to laugh ^_^ or to vomit :sick: ".

I grew up with an NIV, and a KJV. Since one of my college courses requires a more literal version of the bible(RSV suggested) I had to buy a new one. No RSVs at the bookstore, so I picked up the ESV. If it's as good as some of the people in this thread have said, I may be using that one for...

:doh: It seems like every time I read a paper or catch up in the political threads here at cf, I see something that makes me long for the next presidential election.

Finally got a B last semester, dropping my GPA to a 3.949. Ah well, only one more semester to go, so I guess it doesn't matter any more. :P

I was a bit worried reading that list until I saw "-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this." Being a Frankenberry man myself I guess I'm safe after all. :D

That must be some very different data than I had to study in a class I took for college a couple years ago. They told us the U.S. produced about 25% of CO2 emissions(and about 25% of the worlds goods) annually, which did place it as the number one emmitter, but it was something like number 15 or...

I always thought it was odd that some people believe scientists and socialist politicians have gotten together to form some massive conspiracy. Liberal politicians in the U.S. do use the issue to gain political capital, and perhaps engage in scaremongering from time to time, but then politicians...

4 years of majoring in International Relations and I don't recall ever seeing a "world studies" class. Is that college or high school? If high school then do they follow Texas, California, or some other standard for which texts to use? If college, then where? I've yet to meet a single person...

That's a bit creepy. Doesn't science thrive most when established theories can be challenged?

U.S. greenhouse emissions have grown 17% over the past 15 or so years, while the economy has grown 51%? That's actually not nearly as bad as I would have expected, especially when you consider how much higher emissions per capita compared to GDP per capita are for some supposedly more...
