    Loss Of Faith and Growth of Free Thought

    Well, did you happen to come across some convincing evidence? A good philosophical argument? I just can't see how someone who doesn't believe in the claims of the Bible (presumably because of lack of evidence) could somehow just 'choose' to believe them.

    To Build a Fire

    No, you were taking a book about a hypothesis on the evolutionary path that humans took and how cooking food may have played a very big role in it. That's it. You tried to conflate the very narrow field of the book into a very general category of the theory of evolution.

    To Build a Fire

    Disagreeing on the minutiae of evolution does not mean they "did not agree on anything". Both of them understood precisely all of the underpinnings of evolution and how it worked, and they both agreed upon it.

    gentleman-ness/chivalry

    Only when you believe that ignorance is the best policy when it comes to sex-ed. Abstinence only education simply increases the rate of STD transmission and teen pregnancy. They're going to do it whether you like it or not, so your choice really lies in whether you want them to know how to do it...

    gentleman-ness/chivalry

    Is it just me, or does it feel like Paul's misogyny is creeping through here a bit. Seriously, she must 'respect him unconditionally' and 'submit to him'? I'm sorry, I thought we were living in the 21st century, where women aren't property anymore.

    Ah yes, all those Christian teens are so mature and forward thinking, while those atheist heathens are obviously all harlots and just want to have sex all the time.

    Should Christians buy organic?

    Yeah, I'll stick with not getting my information from 'greenpeace' style scare sites filled with propaganda, misinformation and sometimes outright lies. I know a lot about GM foods, and I've even attended a 3-day symposium on the topic at my university.

    To Build a Fire

    Completely non-sequitur to the point. Naraoia said the book discussed a particular hypothesis about the evolutionary line of a particular species. The reviews you posted confirm that. Please, just admit you were wrong.

    Texan Wins Controversial 'White Man' Scholarship

    Is it 'open to all' as in they look solely at the merit of the students situation for the scholarship; or is it 'open to all' as in 'you can apply, but you won't get it'.

    Er, no. MSG is a carrier of the glutamate molecule which stimulates the umami taste. It does absolutely nothing to tenderize meat. But I think the special cooking method you're thinking of is called 'sous-vide', which basically involves sticking your food inside a vacuum-sealed bag (ie meat...

    Should Christians buy organic?

    If we grew standard crops on every piece of arable land on this planet, we still wouldn't be able to fully feed everyone.

    Should Christians buy organic?

    [Citation Needed] Please stop making this claim that crops designed specifically to not need fertilizers and pesticides somehow need more of it. This is an outright lie.

    Should Christians buy organic?

    GM foods are designed to make redundant the need for chemically fertilized soils. New crops are being made that can grow in even the harshes of climates, fertilizer free. I'm sorry, but 'organic' is simply too inefficient to ever be used to feed the world. Until it dies it will be the sole...
