Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God The debate over creation and evolution: 4 of 94
Evolution creationism, two apparently contradicting theories (I say theory because none of us were there to observe) that are argued in pulpits and classrooms across the nation.

Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life Big Bang or Big Man: How in the heck did we get here?: 5 of 91
This is a very sensitive subject to debate with both sides having pros and cons.

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What does freedom mean to you and does absolute freedom exist: 11 of 33
Freedom is fought for and died over, today and yesterday, by many. Nations have raised from the earth, and have been razed in the name of freedom.
