Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Science, religion and who's right about the creation of the earth: 4 of 35

The real conflict is not between religion and science at all, it is between Christianity and humanism. Science is merely a set of tools and a body of data used to investigate the natural world. And religion is a way of living life to prepare for what happens after life. There may be inconsistencies, but each person deals wit...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Christian understanding of setting goals in life: 1 of 6

I was in a Chinese restaurant recently, and the phrase, "Better is the enemy of good" came up as the fortune in a fortune cookie. While it is not much of a fortune, this phrase does illustrate an important truth about our goals in life, especially in the Christian life. It is not enough to aspire to be "better." With a compl...

The Sword of Truth series, written by Terry Goodkind, consists of eleven full books and one novella. Begun in 1994 with Wizard's First Rule, and continuing with another book almost every year since then, this series is the extraordinary journey of Richard and Kahlan and the people they love saving the world from great evil t...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Christian understanding of suffering: 17 of 75

Nobody likes to suffer or feel pain, by definition. But suffering can actually have a purpose, from a Biblical point of view. Unlike Buddhism, where suffering is thought to be caused by desire and therefore all desires must be eliminated, the Christian understanding of suffering encompasses not only one's personal suffering,...
Sciences > Astronomy How far away is Mars?: 1 of 3

To accurately determine the distance between Earth and Mars at any given time can end up being a fairly complicated orbital mechanics problem. However, using a few basic facts and relations, the possible range of values can be determined. Mars can be anywhere from about sixty million to four hundred million kilometers away f...
Politics, News & Issues > Environmental Awareness Best ways to go green: 20 of 57

"Going green" is a hot topic these days with global warming and gas prices on the rise, but it is often either misunderstood or not taken far enough. The point of going green is usually to reduce one's "carbon footprint," or in other words, reduce carbon emissions by driving less or reusing/recycling as much as possible. The...
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study The New Testament and its Jewish beginning: 2 of 4

While the majority of Jews today still do not recognize the Messiah, there is no denying that Yeshua, called Jesus by the Hellenized, Westernized world today, was fully Jewish. He lived the perfect life, not just by being "a good person," but by keeping all of God's laws, which had been preserved by Israel through the centur...
Religion & Spirituality > Buddhism What the Eastern tea ceremony and the Western wine tasting say about their cultures: 1 of 2

As always, comparing the "East" and the "West" creates an exaggerated dichotomy that does not necessarily describe the full complexity of either culture. For the purposes of this discussion, however, some generalizations can certainly be drawn by comparing the Eastern tea ceremony and the Western wine tasting. The tea ceremo...
Arts & Humanities > Asia, Africa & Mideast History The best way to Romanize Japanese: 1 of 1

Romanization is used often for writing out lyrics to Japanese songs, because lyrics are the most common text for non-Japanese-speakers to want to pronounce properly. This is actually somewhat possible because Japanese is a very simple language to pronounce, once you know a few basic rules, with almost no irregularities. Even...
