I get ethanol for 2 bucks a gallon (which is a great deal right now) but if it was produced on a large scale for fuel it would cost about 1 DOLLAR A GALLON!
So could we then stop subsidizing it to the tune of $3 Billion a year?
The only reason you can get it for $2 a gallon is because all the rest of us are paying for it through our tax dollars.
Catholics are definitely Christians. I'm always impressed with the fact that most christians from the USA are unable to grasp that simple concept.
While I know many people here in the USA that are christians, I don't know any that somehow think Catholics are not christians. Perhaps your "fact" isn't factual.
I personally am an athiest, but I know that Catholics are christians, and I even live in the USA!
If people were really concerned about solving world hunger, they'd donate their $9 to
I'll donate my $9 (with popcorn, starbursts, and soft drink it's more like $30) from the money I saved not seeing The Bridges of Madison County. I enjoyed the Rings movies too much to skip them.
I can believe it all, except that the descendents of Jesus and Magdalene bred with the French.
Seriously though, we do need to remember that this book is a fictional novel that uses real places, settings, and events to make it seem more realistic. But it is still fictional.
Interesting that you should mention lightning. I recall a story from an anthropology class that used lightning as the example. The story goes that an anthropologist was studying natives when there was a storm and lightning struck and killed one of them. The natives said that the gods struck him dead. The anthropologist asked them about these gods: Have you ever seen these gods? No. You see, the anthropologist explained, lightning is an electrical charge, made of electrons. The natives asked: Did you ever see an electron? No, answered the anthropoligist. The natives said: ohh... gods.
Anyway, the point is that lightning is as much evidence of gods as it is of electrons. Those that believe in gods (or God) would argue that the shear complexity and beauty of everything is evidence of intelligent design, not something that came about by mere chance.
BTW, I'm an athiest. I consider athiesm to be as much a religion as any other.
Religion is a belief system used for explaining things that we cannot easily explain on our own. Why am I here? What happens after death? Where did the universe come from?
Science is a religion in that it is a belief system used for explaining things that we cannot easily explain otherwise. Unfortunatly Science does not (yet) answer all the questions we wish to answer.
We accept things in religions (including science) on faith. We may believe that there is evidence of those things. I've never seen God, but then again, I've never seen an electron either.
Gee, I didn't realize that the RIAA was stopping DDOS attacks, viruses, worms, and other things spread by the nefarious P2P networks... Well good for them.
the patent lawyer used the example of nails and screws and how they appear the same to engineers while to lawyers they are as different as cats and dogs.
What engineers think that nails and screws "appear" the same? Nails, screws, and bolts are all quite different and are used in far different applications, as well as using differing tools to apply or install them.

Uhh... right, lets see, here is a page http://www.google.com/options/index.html with 16 Services and 8 tools that they offer, none of which are in Beta, and here is a page http://www.google.com/downloads/ of six software downloads and ooooohhh, one of them is Beta, and here is their "labs" page http://labs.google.com/ that has all their Beta products, note the list on the right hand side of their seven "Graduates of Labs" non-Beta products.

Polls like these have little meaning.
Who funded the poll?
Did the Kurds have evidence?
Microsoft of course.
Strunk and White recommend limiting the use of presently to when you mean in a short while.
Then there is this from The Columbia Guide to Standard American English.
I understand that it is quite painful.

Oh, by lightning, you mean the wrath of God...
I don't think Jesus ever claimed to be God. He did refer to God as his father. Is there some place in the Bible where Jesus calls himself God?
It seems to me, if the writer didn't mean standard 24 hour days, then he should have been honest, and told us just how long it really too.
It also seems to me that if God could create everything that exists, he could do it in six 24 hour days as easily as he could do it in a millennium.
Was it Spike Jones that sang the song "I'm my own Grandpa"?

Oh come now. How do you think they make transparent aluminum?
