Sciences > Ecology & Environment An overview of green energy possibilities from the ocean: 7 of 11
It is almost impossible to imagine the awesome power contained within the oceans of the world. It has been estimated that by just harnessing the energy in tidal currents alone, we could provide power for most of the world. Tidal energy harnessing is perhaps the most well known of the ocean technologies in development, and it... More..
Sciences > Ecology & Environment Do the benefits of salmon farming outweigh any detrimental effects?: 6 of 9
Salmon farming is a tradition that dates back many years. It had always been a very good way of assuring a ready supply. For a very long time, things went along quite nicely. So much so, that no one really paid much attention to it. Then things started to happen, people started to get sick. The kind of sick that one does not... More..
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Is there such a thing as absolute truth: 25 of 37
It is comical to observe the intellectual gymnastics folks will go through, just to try and create an "out" for themselves. The intellectual gymnastics, in this case, are the ridiculous reasoning's people come up with, in an effort to do away with truth. The "out" they are seeking, is a way to make themselves feel ok about w... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) Republic vs. Democracy: 11 of 16
The United States of America is a Republic, a fact most have lost sight of in this country. Have you all forgotten your pledge of allegiance already? A republic differs from a democracy in that it is a representative form of government - in a democracy the majority rules. In a republic persons are elected to represent the ma... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Gay rights and the Christian church: 98 of 141
The nature of the argument over homosexuality and Christianity is in the disagreement over the definition of two things, sin and Love. Is homosexuality a sin and what is Love? I have never seen a person's opinion or belief changed by strong arming or even by well intentioned arguments. I have seen people changed on numerous ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why we can't see God: 27 of 38
God is spirit. He is not contained within a body that you can observe, although He is capable of taking on a body when He so chooses. He is invisible, that is why you cannot see Him. But even so, He has chosen to reveal Himself in many ways, and at many times throughout history. The ultimate revelation of God is in the perso... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Insights Defining truth: 15 of 21
How many times have you heard someone say, "well, truth is relative", or, "well, you have your truth, and I have mine"? These are the saddest phrases ever uttered by man, because to me, there is nothing more important than truth. To say that truth is relative or that truth can be opposed to itself is not just wrong, it is da... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Testimonies: Christian: 59 of 80
My father was a Presbyterian minister, as was my Grandfather and Uncle. My Aunt was a Presbyterian Missionary, and two of my three brothers went through seminary, with one becoming an ordained Presbyterian Minister. To say that my family is steeped in Presbyterianism would be an understatement. I guess I was the rebel. I att... More..
Sciences > Anthropology (Other) Predicting the next phase of human evolution: 20 of 27
I predict mans next evolutionary phase will most definitely be a transformation into something that will be much more suitable for life here on earth. Lets face it; there has never been a creature better suited for life here, than our favorite evolutionary friend, the monkey. I emphatically believe that man will evolve into ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Exploring the similarities between Christianity and Hinduism: 3 of 4
There are similarities between all religions, because all religions are built upon one common foundation. At the core of every religion is the foundational belief that "it" can make sinful man acceptable to a perfect God. This is what religion is designed for; it is designed to clean up dirty man. The problem with all religi... More..
