Hi everyone! My trusty old iPod mini isn't lasting more than an hour now. Since it's out of warranty anyway I thought it might be a good idea to order a $15 battery and replace it myself rather than pay $65 for Apple to do it. I'm comfortable enough with computer hardware, but I'm a little...

Hi everyone! Today in Senior Seminar a guest came and spoke to us on his experiences in the work force. At the moment he runs an Internet-based company, which he says he does with a Christian business ethic. I asked him what this means to him, and he mentioned things like not taking money...

Hello everyone. I am finally in a position to get a new computer, but I am torn. I can get an iMac 17" with a student discount for $1199. I will not need to purchase any new software, because the one program upon which I rely most heavily will work on OS X. I can also build a PC for less...

I hope I'm allowed to make off topic posts like this... I've been watching this forum for a while so I wanted to finally de-lurk and say hi. I don't think I'm really a liberal. I'm probably more moderate. But I like you guys a lot and I often find myself nodding in agreement with your posts...

Maybe this is totally silly, but it's something that bothered me a lot when I was a YEC. I think it's a fairly important detail of the story of the Fall, too. One of the direct results of eating the fruit was that Adam and Eve, for the first time, felt shame. They clothed themselves and later...

Hello. A while ago I posted a thread about reliable laptops. Now, I'm wondering if I ought to just go for a Mac. However, with the big changes ahead for Apple, I'm not sure how to go about this. I think I said before that the reason I don't just save some money and move to Linux is the lack of...

Hello. I'm going to give my current computer one more summer to see how it does, but since my summer job is going to pay well I'm serious considering getting something more up to date. This is what I have: HP Pavilion ze4315 AMD Athlon 1800+, 1.53GHz 512 MB RAM, 64 MB dedicated Video RAM (so...

I sort of brought this up in the Civilization thread, but it's been bothering me so much lately that I'd like to start a thread on it. One argument for a literal interpretation of Genesis I often see around here is "If Jesus quoted it, it must be true." Since many who use this arguement will...

Hello. Is there any way to report inappropriate messages to AOL? Every morning for the last few days I've come to my computer and found at least one message, sometimes two, beckoning me to an adult site. I received another just now. Each message comes from a different screen name but the text is...

Hello again. This is directed at TEs, mostly: Now that I'm learning more about how Genesis was written and how it should be interpreted, I am much more open to the idea that God used evolution to create everything. What I'm wondering now is how much involvement you believe God had once He set...

Hello again. I'm taking an ancient mythology course and we have been discussing the Enuma Elish and the ancient Greek creation stories, and the professor made an extremely interesting point today: Scholars now believe that Genesis was completed during the 6th century BC, while Israel was in...

Hello. I'm hoping that this is an appropriate question for this forum: Could someone explain what the different views on life are? I know what atheistic/theistic evolution and YEC are, but I'm not sure I understand Old Earth Creationism, I know nothing about Gap theory, and I'm sure there are...

Hello again. I'm a bit confused on something. I don't believe I've ever heard any sort of explanation for the conflict between Genesis 1 and 2. If we are to take the creation account completely literally, how do we answer for the fact that in Genesis 1, man is created last, and in Genesis 2, man...

Hello, everyone. I've mentioned a few times before that I've always been a creationist, and have recently decided to give theistic evolution a chance. This happened a few months ago when I was reading through some of my old Creationist materials and realized that they didn't sound quite as...

Someone brought this place up during a meeting today and I thought it looked interesting. I'm looking forward to sharing and learning from all of you, and also figuring out what all these shiny new buttons do. Have a good one!
