  you must have experienced it, too - one is almost frightened in front of the simplicity and compactness of the interconnections that nature all of a sudden spreads before him and for which he was not in the least prepared.. werner heisenberg, in a letter to albert einstein1.

  for many people, science invites awe and religion invites insight.

  a new study of nearly 6,000 elementary school children has found that boys are discriminated against beginning in kindergarten.

  christopher cornwell, an economics professor at the university of georgia, says that gender disparities in teacher grades start early and uniformly favor girls.. despite having higher scores on standardized tests, boys get lower grades than girls.

  on another forum:.

  with the flood at about 4,500 years ago, it needs less than 0.5% per year growth.

  i think today's rate is about 1.7%.

  Man Of Steel

  2. entertainment

  coming out in june 2013.. while i have always been a bigger fan of batman ( martial arts infulence) there was always something special about superman.. my favorite superman storyline is kingdom come.. i was never a fan of the superman series with christopher reeves, superman returns was at best ok and while i liked smallville ( tv series) it was overlong and had some glaring faults.. this movie, however, is filling me full of hope :).

  the first two are teasers, one with kevin costner voice over ( john kent), the other with russel crowe vo ( jor-el).

  what's your idea of heaven ?

  a little boy from nebraska thinks he has a good idea because he said he's been there.

  Creating God in Our Image

  by PSacramento in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to genesis, god created man in his image:.

  "let us make man in our likeness".... but according to many it was man that created god in his image.. and perhaps they may be right.. while i certainly don't agree that if there is a god, we created him in our image but ido agree that, as humans, we created our understanding of god in our image.. that is why we give god the qualities we posses:.

  he gets angry, he is jealous, he is vengeful, etc, etc.
