i was watching the cnn this evening..watched hilliary clinton walk towards some dignataries in a foreign land.
i saw that she was well dressed in a pant suit.
she is the us secretary of state, and what she wore was dignified.

i thought i would never get my college degree from a university in this century at the age of 48 but i did it and graduated with an "a-" average.
i did this all the while working a full time job and going to school full time.
it can be done and now i love school to death.
Congratulations! It's an accomplishment!
good luck!
my town will no longer collect old books like that as trash and they're pretty hard to burn.
my solution has been to include one in every bag of used cat litter when i clean the cat boxes.
i've gotten rid of around 30 that way and i'm about halfway there.
I recycled mine...
did the complexity of life arise spontaneously, or did it require a creator?christians believe that a creator is essential.
scientists believe that the idea of a "creator" is pure mythology, and that the complexity arose through natural processes like evolution.
you can actually answer this question yourself with a little logic.
Everything we are in this universe came out of the slight inbalance between matter and antimatter.. Fortunately for us in this universe, matter won out, but only by a small fraction. As the universe cooled down, we now have elements and compounds like 55 gallon drums and water.

Time slows down because when you are in space, you are further away from Earth's gravity well. Also, the faster you travel also has a slowing effect on time. By combining those two effects, sateliites have software to compensate for differences in timing clocks.
or could we be immortal?.
what is consciousness?
is it not the formation and function of the organ we call the brain?

sinis -- your thought of the universe being a hologram is the basis of this theory:

In my humble opinion, we have existed before and will exist again -- unfortunately, we wont know the difference.
Given an infinite amount of time, everything is possible. Including our existence...

In my not so humble opinion, given the infinite existence of the multiverse, we have existed before and will exist again. It doesn't matter if this universe ends with heat death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe) or the big crunch.

an arguement i've encountered recently is: god tells us right from wrong.
if you don't have a reason to do right instead of wrong then no one will have any morals.. i disagree with this entirely of course.
what kind of morality is it when you are only doing what is right out of fear of being punished for doing what is wrong?.
Personally I prefer Enlightened Self-Interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_self-interest
I see no need for religion in this world...
We have one life... it it fragile... it's harder to build bridges than to blow them up...
(edited to add:)
Science has therefore been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hopes of reward after death.
