That's why I was particularly careful in saying that the prayer and non-prayer months be reversed every year, and that the experiment continue for an even-number of years. This should cancel-out any monthly cyclical variation in rainfall. So quick to jump to conclusions?

What you speak of is not science. For a start, you are quoting a book that: 1. Has been shown to contain hundreds of self-contradictions. 2. Has been shown to contain hundreds of absurdities. 3. Has been shown to contain hundreds of contradictions to historical and scientific fact. 4...

I don't know any mods. Can you please ask one to move it? Thanks heaps.

True, I'm not directly testing the existence of God in this experiment, I am testing the power of prayer. However, I decided it would be good to take things one small step at a time - wouldn't proving the power of prayer be a good starting point for proving the existence of God? I thought that...

Uh-uh, it is creationists who bury their heads in the sand. You're quoting a book that is shown without doubt to contain hundreds of self-contradictions, absurdities, inconsistencies, and disagreement with known scientific and historical fact. To see these, just go to...

Apparently Kent Hovind's offer is completely rigged. There are several web sites about this subject. Also, Kent Hovind isn't a real PhD either, and (in most scientist's opinions) should not be allowed to use the title "Doctor" for himself at all. He has never completed a real PhD thesis, and...

Hi, I am an atheist and (early career) scientist. This has probably been done before, but out of curiousity, I'm trying to come-up with a scientific experiment that should prove that there is a God, if indeed there is a God. I came up with a simple experiment, that anyone can do, that...

Why are most copies of the bible that I've read, still have words from old english? Surely this must be a traditional thing, applying only to English-speaking countries. As we all know, the original bible wasn't even written in English. Wouldn't it therefore make more sense if today's...

Once again, someone may not have read that I DID hope that my kid dies. I NO-LONGER HOPE THAT MY KID DIES. I STOPPED HOPING THAT MY KID DIES LONG AGO, ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS FOR THAT SIN, ETC. A point I was trying to make in my last post by this paragraph: was that people continue to go on...

I haven't really been on this thread for a couple of days because I've started to wonder whether there is any point in arguing on this thread at all. This is my first thread on Christian forums, and it may be the last. I'm starting to wonder whether there was a point in me starting this...

According to many Jehovah's Witnesses (no, I'm not one), man is very incapable of ruling the world, and all of the world's political systems and governments are corrupted. JWs go on to say that armageddon will be a fight between God and the world's governments. I only have a vague...

Hey Vance, I don't know what OP stands for, sorry. I know that a lot of what I've said really touches some nerves in your own life. I'm sincerely sorry for that. The worldly media basically tells us males, that it is good to be sexually active when you are young, and to have sex with...

It would be nice to see some posts from guys who HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE SAME SITUATION too! It is all good and fun to unload your arsenal of criticism at someone, when you haven't actually been in the situation yourself. (I can predict the follow-ups to this already - "you shouldn't...

Thanks all for your replies. It seems that my question of what to do has now been answered in many different ways. Most of the replies have 3 main things in common: * I should accept my responsibility and be a good father to this child. Meaning giving financial and other support, and...

Thankyou for your encouraging, enlightenning and HELPFUL, positive thoughts ceres. Hindsight is always 20-20. I KNOW that I should have been more precautious. I was very precautious, I think it was only 1 or 2 particular instances where we weren't precautious, but I guess that's all it...

Thanks TCapp. I was aware of those reproduction fundamentals, yes. Most people I know have had lots of sex before marriage with many different partners (which I don't condone or agree with in any way). Many male acquaintences of mine have long boasted about the amount of women they've...

Annabel Lee - I know I said that in my first post, but I really do not like death/destruction at all!! The point I tried to make in my last post was that I would have much preferred if this child was not conceived in the first place. I never wanted this child to be conceived then die!!! I...

Okay, I only started this thread like 15 hours ago, then I come back to it today and there's already 3 pages of abuse. Thankyou for all of your honest opinions, it's good to hear honest opinions, that's what I was after. I think one thing that a lot of people are forgetting, is that (I...

Hi, I'm a 24-yr old male. Until about 18 months ago I was (basically) a virgin, and hadn't really had a girlfriend before. Anyhow, about 17 months ago I started going out with this girl who was an old friend of mine. She is now 27 years old. When we first started going out, she was...
