All official records indicate that Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. (Obama's "church" has multiple committed Muslims as members; baptism is not required for membership.)
It is questionable, however, whether he is an American (native born, that is).
Pentecostalism is not a denomination. It's a movement that encompasses some denominations, but most Pentecostal churches are non-denominational.
I don't know if Palin's current church is Pentecostal, but most conservative churches, whether Pentecostal, Charismatic, Evangelical, or fundamentalist, are about equally "gung ho" about the Rapture and fulfillment of End-Time prophecy.
For non-UK readers - the Daily Mail is a conservative right wing tabloid.
That's a contradiction in terms. Tabloids are anathema to social conservatives.
it is very pro-Christian, and anti-atheism
I have read scores of stories in the Daily Mail over the years (linked from Drudge), and I'm stunned at your opinion. Pro-Christian? On its site right now, there are no fewer than half a dozen headlined stories focusing on the "pro-Christian" topic of boobs--one of them on male boobs. It's like that every day. The site is almost pornographic. I try to ignore the naughty links on the side, and as a follower of the Bible personally, I'm a little ashamed to admit that I read stories there. The site, over all, definitely promotes an atheistic/humanistic philosophy over a Christian one. If the Daily Mail is what passes for "pro-Christian" in the UK media, the rest must have gone to hell, literally. I know it's not really that bad, but you calling the Daily Mail conservative is like Palestinians calling Bill Clinton a Zionist.

The Bible doesn't reveal much about the appearance or mental acuity of Adam, the first human. The fact that God holds him morally accountable for sin, however, indicates that he had a soul/spirit, which at least sets him apart from the animal kingdom. (The "serpent," who apparently could stand up before he was cursed, is universally interpreted to be Satan.)
It seems that Noah, who built a pretty complex ark (although with God's specific building instructions), probably was a fully "modern" human.
The Creationist position that I've heard is that Neanderthals are simply a peculiar kind of human. Some say possibly a "sub-species," Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, which is how they were classified by scientists in the 1960s.
Since Neanderthal fossils are all post-Flood, we could say that Adam, Noah, and other humans were pre-Neanderthal*. And likely Homo sapien.

I'll have a lot of family rotating through my apartment and I'd like to have a few more options for entertainment.
Time to think outside the slash-box. I recommend the game Apples to Apples. A game like this fosters interaction with your guests and lets you learn a little bit about their personality. This entertainment option is cheap, reliable, and gives you no hassles with the landlord.
Well, the President appoints those judges. And I think that Congress can impeach Supreme Court judges (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong), although it's rarely if ever done.
The past 200 years or so of biology ought to have taught us that, contrary to what seemed evident to the ancients, there isn't any such essential difference.
On the contrary, biology has served to buttress what was evident to the ancients (as well as to contemporary folk). We moderns have dug down to the tiniest elements of living organisms and yet still fail to identify the material that separates the living from the non-living. The ancients are calling "checkmate."
Organic matter is just a form of organization of inorganic manner.
That was a sneaky sleight of hand. We were talking about living vs. non-living, and your argument shifted to an issue that no one disputes, pertaining to organic vs. inorganic material. Carbon, as we know, can be of a human or a rock. That's irrelevant.
If the difference between living and living were only a matter of "form," pray tell, what is the difference in form or composition of a living animal and a dead animal? The answer is beyond the reach of biological science (materialism). The answer is: One retains the breath/spirit that was divinely given to it; the other doesn't.
A strong (not a-gnostic) denial of this tenet is itself a matter of faith, since scientific investigation so far forces our eyes to the supernatural. We're down to the "bare metal," and the secret isn't visible to us. "200 years of biology," and all we've got is... TONS and TONS of evidence for an Intelligent Designer.
Not to be too hokey or trite, but truly, the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, or spirit (Hebrew: ruach; Greek: pneuma; Latin: spiritus), the breath of God (Gen. 2:7).
Getting back on subject... We were asking if these viruses are alive. Are sperm alive?
What organism really is autonomous? The irony is that humans cannot survive without millions of organisms leeching off of us (bacteria). The host sometimes needs the parasites as much as the parasites need the host. And look at the broader ecosystem. Everything is interdependent.
Moreover, is it really necessary that everything be categorized, as in nested folders? The new organizational paradigm is tagging. Science should learn from the Internet.:)
The Internet is a social place. We can associate more respectably and communicate more effectively by using decent rhetoric. Cursing distracts, and detracts, from your message... even if the words are obfuscated (- note to the GP).
In other words:
"We've found life on Earth. We've found life on Earth."
(And we have not observed it "erupting" on its own. See rebuttals in other replies.)
Because life was spoken into existence all over the Earth. It does not hold logically that there must be life all over the universe.
Which is, of course, consistent with major religions. 'God', aka 'The Universe', creates life 'in his image', aka 'of the universe'.
Generally speaking, no, but why abuse God's grace? Paul implores us not to frolick in sin just because grace abounds. He reminds us that the Law defines what sin is. Grace covers us when we fall short, but it is not a license to sin freely, and it certainly does not change the definition of sin.
You can be certain that whatever our loving Father has told His children (including grafted-in Gentiles) to do, or not to do, will be for a blessing to them who trust and obey. So says the Word of God.
I can't think of a time when a narrative dream in the Bible was ever literal. Think about Joseph's dream, the dreams of the cupbearer and baker, Pharaoh's dream, and Nebuchadnezzar's dream. This too is an ALLEGORY. Peter, the one who experienced the dream, clearly explains that the message God sent to him was to be understood allegorically.
Please notice that the sheet with unclean animals was let down THREE times (10:16). Then...
19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Simon, THREE MEN are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them."
The Spirit sent three men just as He had sent the sheet down three times. The focus is on people -- three Gentiles -- not food.
I think this is the New Covenant doctrine that is being illustrated:
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. - Romans 3:29-30
Remember what God said: Do not think that the Son came to abolish the Law. (Mat. 5:17) Not one jot (iota) or tittle has passed away.
It is strange, isn't it? The Trinity must be a tumultuous entity with the Father and Son battling it out over what the commandments ought to be. (I guess "honoring thy father" isn't accepted by Jesus.) Is the Holy Spirit the referee for this match? Thank you, Marcion.
God did not declare any unclean animals fit to eat in that dream. Peter's dream had nothing to do with dietary commands. Peter himself explicitly tells us the correct interpretation in verse 28 of Acts 10:
And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any MAN unholy or unclean."
