Galaxies, rather than stars!
by Yadirf ini suppose that if i were an avid reader of the various astronomy magazines available i'd have more of an understanding about this.
for quite some time i've wondered how astronomers must calculate that there are so many galaxies (although obviously they don't know the precise number).
i figure that it apparently has to do with first determining that certain points of light, visible through telescopes, are farther out than our own "milky way" galaxy.

I'm converting.......
by Tatiana inthe emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality between the sexes is essential to human progress and the transformation of society.
inequality retards not only the advancement of women but the progress of civilization itself.
the persistent denial of equality to one-half of the worlds population is an affront to human dignity.

here is my basic reasoning, perhaps you can point out what i am missing.. lets outline the 2 common assumptions normally associated with the debate concerning adam, god and freewill:.
2. god gave adam freewill to obey him or not to.

Jacob I loved, Esau I hated!
by AIRVIEW1 inonly some of the people of israel are truly god's people,and only some of abraham's desendants are the true children of abraham.
abraham's true children are those who become god's children because of the promise god made to abraham.
before the two boys were born, god told rebekah,"the older will serve the younger".
