That's a funny thing to admit in public. :p Sarah

You're right. It's difficult to prove these things and often impossible. So, it's kind of like history. You can speculate about what happened, think you know what happened, maybe have some evidence for it, but there's never solid proof. Sarah

:P I'll bite. I think the TV evangelist types that do that are full of it. I think it's pretty obvious that they are in it for the money and that it's a whole lot of quackery. As for faith/miraculous healings, I have heard that in 3rd world places, they do still happen. People get...

Yup. That's definitely an issue. Sarah

But what is the definition of a 'true one'? That's part of what I was contesting. If one recognizes that God gave us free will, which I think many do, that means that actions are subject to change. And if that's true, what prophet can ever be 100% accurate? What may be true according to how...

I briefly read about what these things are (admittedly because 'Incubus' is one of my favorite bands and I wanted to know what the name meant) and - recognizing that I could have gotten a bad definition - I think it sounds pretty shady. I remember that one of the two is some kind of sexual...

This was a topic in my Evolution class last semester. As it turns out, if you look at percentages of people who are immune to the effects of the HIV virus, there is a significant difference among races. The one with the greatest percent of immunity is the European. There is some speculation...

I think I heard something on a Discovery channel Nostradamus special (that is, I heard/read it somewhere, and I think that's where), that Nostradamus was forced to write so cryptically because at the time, prophets/seers were enemies of the church and an enemy of the church didn't live very...

To clarify a few things, it isn't that the main Mormon religion does not 'openly practice' polygamy, it is that it has been forbidden in the church for some time now. It is breakaway Mormon sects that still do this illegally, to the chagrin of that main church. It's like Islam and terrorism...

I'm reluctant to believe a book that had a daytime television infomercial for months. Or one, not to offend anyone, that uses Bible quotes to back dubious science. Of course, I could be totally wrong. But those are my thoughts right off the bat. Sarah

True that Pirates wasn't as good as it could have been, but wasn't Davy Jones AMAZING? Wow. The CGI for him, as it had to have been, I guess, was the best I've ever seen. I'd give it a 3 out of 5, but I kind of want to go see it again just for that. Sarah

Because it's a kung fu movie. :p

I'd love to explore texts and ideas unfamiliar to me with someone who knows their stuff. I'd observe. I might comment. Depends on how over my head or, on the other hand, bold, I feel. Sounds like a good idea. Sarah

A couple weeks late. :o http://www.myspace.com/ssarang Jump on the bandwagon, folks! Sarah

If I may go on a little tangent... Vaj, what do Buddhists think of Herman Hesse's Siddhartha? I know it's a novel, not historical, but I love the ideas in it. Does it accurately depict Buddhist ideas or not so much? Thanks, Sarah

For another good kung fu spoof, cavalier, try 'Shaolin Soccer'. A Chinese movie, imagine that. I had a hard time finding it, but I live in small town. It's worth the search. As for a recent movie for me, I was very moved by 'Hotel Rwanda'. Anyone who hasn't seen it should. Kind of a...

Major: Biology Minors: Music and Kinesiology pre-chiropractic... We do have access to webspace, I think. Some students do at least, though maybe just computer science majors. Sarah

That is an interesting thought that never occurred to me. How do his descriptions of the exact locations of the Halls fit into the symbolism? Another thing of his that has always puzzled me is this: he said the Garden of Eden story is symbolic, but he also says that people should not eat raw...

For once, I'm in agreement with you, Q. :eek: :p Sarah

Thanks, Andrew. That gives me a place to start reading about it. :) As for the blood types, of course that theory is the one taught in schools and is widely known and accepted. I recall reading in some book, I want to say it was one of those ones by Graham Hancock or someone like him...
