Is this good so far?

Introduction: A big hairy animal that can grow over 15 feet tall. The ancestors of the elephants. This is the Woolly mammoth.





Thesesis:





Topic sentence: Woolly mammoths lived during the ice age. That was about 2 million to 9,00 years ago these animals were big and heavy. They had long brown thick fur. And had two tusks. These tusks were used as if they were shovels it was to take the snow out of their way. These tusks were as long as 16 feet tall. They had short ears that measured around 3 feet.

Should anyone die alone,in a small concrete cage?

Mona was born in the wild lands of Asia (approx. 1951).


She was captured, and brought to The Birmingham Zoo in 1955.


Susie, Mona's companion for 48 years, was wild-born in India (approx. 1952). She was captured and brought to The Birmingham Zoo in 1957. Susie died in January 2005.


Mona has been alone ever since.


Mona's enclosure at The Birmingham Zoo is small and barren. She stands either on concrete or hard-packed dirt, in an area estimated to be less than 1/2 acre. These unforgiving surfaces are causing the break-down of her feet , and what appears to be arthritis in her right shoulder and right front leg. She spends her days pacing in a monotonous circle inside her barn stall, or outside searching for something to engage her highly intelligent mind. Mona has been in this enclosure since she was (approx.) four years old - 51 years.


For over a year, The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee has offered a standing invitation to accept Mona in retirement.


Go here to free her:

Should anyone die alone,in a small concrete cage?
bad bad bad.let tennessee have her! let her go into retirement.
Reply:The Petition Site: I HATE these things. They accomplish nothing, but give people a 'warm fuzzy' because they are 'doing something', even though it is totally meaningless. If you believe in something, DO something about it.





Mona: Several zoos are not great environments for some animals, others are wonderful places.





There is, of course, info behind this story- such as whether there is enough problems with Mona to justify a potentially upsetting move.





The links below show other aspects to think about.





Now- the real core issue is how to use the resources represented by elephants the best.





Animal santuaries claim that the elephants are better and healthier there than they are in zoos (or at least in some zoos)- but they do so with little real scientific proof- most of it is just rhetoric.





It is difficult to wade through emotional issues like this, but making inflammatory comments and offering 'either/or' choises do not help.

From some 2 months 3,I recognized a girl in the tooth of the elephant.





She was other look and like the moon! Burn her religion what beautiful. I tried to touch her pulse to see if there is space and it appeared that she is interested.





The first day I talked her on the phone and the second day she invited me on the lunch.





I asked her "what she kitchenized?",she said "some of his mother’s yoghurt on the walking". I liked her project and before I arrived to her ,I went to the Milker and bought some lady’s arms and some "eat and say thank you".





She opened me the door and when she saw the handsome in my hands she said "yiiiiiii! Your hands be safe, why torture yourself my uncle?.





While we are eating ,rang the doorbell. She opened the door and entered her old boyfriend. He asked her "who is he?", she said "not your entry".





I knew straight he wanted to problemize it.





He said "my eye on you and on him,I will count god not create you!" .





I said "look,my head does not carry me , break the evil before the gypsy milk goes up huh! Go page the sea and bleach from my face now!"





The man felt on his blood and left the room . in the truth ,he poisoned my body very much, but the girl gave breakfast to my nerves. She said "don’t carry worry, my life don’t carry worry, put your hands in cpld water".





I told her "like my foot,don’t get a mind,tell me,are you empty tonight?"she said "yes,I emptify myself for you?.





I told her "thank you my love, you are very digestable".

Miscellaneous Errors in the Perfect Word of a Perfect God???

Errors in the Holy Bible





The Bible and the Earth





The earth is pretty well understood today. We know it's spherical and we know it rotates on it's axis as it revolves around the sun. When the Bible was written and compiled, things were different. People believed that we were in a geocentric universe (the earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it), they thought the earth was flat, and other basic scientific phenomenon were unknown to these people.





The Flat Earth





The Bible doesn't always reflect that we live on a spinning, revolving, sphere... which I would think that God would have known and would have inspired the authors to tell, but he didn't. That is why the Bible reflects that we live on a flat earth.





The term "ends of the earth" is used quite a bit in the Bible. I have received hundreds of e-mails saying "the term 'ends of the earth' is a saying, it's not literal", but they forget that it is a figurative saying today. When the Bible was written it wasn't a figure of speech... it was a fact. Even as late as 1492, people were convinced that silly old Columbus was going to fall off of the earth. But as we know today, the earth is a sphere, and there are no ends on a sphere. Just pick up a ball and find its ends.





Even if one was to accept that God was foreseeing enough to put futuristic lingo which matched the beliefs of the day in. But Job 38:13 speaks of the earth being taken by the physical ends with "That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"





Other mentions of the ends of the earth can be found in the following places. Deuteronomy 13:7, 28:49, 28:64, 33:17. Job 2:8, 19:4, 22:27, 33:13, 48:10, 59:13, 61:2, 65:5, 72:8.





The ends of the earth isn't the only signs of the flat earth in the Bible. In Job 11:9 it says that heaven and hell's measurements are "Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea". How long is a sphere? There is no length in a sphere. Now a flat two dimensional object would have a length.





Now we get to something that many people have said is proof of the Bible knowing the true shape of the earth. The following verses have been sent to me with notes like "See, the Bible says the earth isn't flat":





Proverbs 8:27- When he prepared the heavens, I was there, When he drew a circle on the face of the deep





Isaiah 40:22- It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And it's inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.





But anyone with a basic grasp of geometry knows what a circle is. It's a flat, two dimensional object. According to these scriptures, the earth is shaped like a CD. Again, as much as many people want to believe this proves that the world is a sphere, they are only proving the Bible talks of a flat earth. There are many who say "it says circle, it got the shape right". But this was also a common mistake of the day. People thought the earth was shaped like a plate. They got this belief because if they pointed at the horizon and they spin while tracing the horizon, it appears that they live on a flat circle. And they could travel 1000 miles and do the same thing and they got the same result. It made sense.





The Sky and Atmospheric Conditions





The sky is also described inaccurately in the Bible. In the above scripture, Isaiah 40:22, it mentions that the heavens are stretched out like a tent. A tent would not be a good description of the earth's atmosphere nor the cosmos. It's describing a flat floor which where there is nothing below it... no heavens below the top of the earth. By this description you would either step off of the earth into outer space (but not fall off, because tents don't go underground, so the heavens can't go below the earth), or you will crash into the sky when you reach the end of the earth. Much like how you would crash into the side of your tent if you roll over too much in your sleep.





In Genesis 1:6-8 God created a firmament (which he named "Heaven") to divide the water on earth and the water in the sky. Do we really have a solid sky holding water over us? How the heck did we get to the moon? Does the space shuttle have a "firmament opener" on the front of it? This would explain why every time it rained in the Bible, that God had to "open the windows of heaven" (Gen. 7:1 and Isa. 24:18 are examples). These openings allowed all the water above the solid sky to leak out. Maybe we broke a window on our first space mission, and have flown out the broken window every time since.





Snow and hail are mentioned in the Bible. It is also mentioned that they are stored for future use by God. In Job 38:22 God asks "Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail". I can't believe that we are so naive as to think snow and hail are formed by freezing water vapor. Someone should inform these radical meteorologists that it's all in God's storage areas, and that he throws him down when he sees fit.





The Stationary Earth





The idea of a stationary earth has been touched on by nearly every mythological tale. There was Atlas who held the earth on his back, and let's not forget the turtle and elephants in Terry Pratchett's Disk World series. It seems like this inaccurate belief found its way into the Bible also.





Job chapter 38 has a lot of mentions of a stationary earth, and as direct quotes from God. Quotes like the following:





"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding." - Job 38:4





"Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;" - Job 38:6





Really, do these sound like descriptions of a world that spins on its axis, while at the same time revolves around the sun? First off, everything I have seen foundations on are stationary. Buildings, walls, towers, etc. Then God says that the foundation is fastened to something. Again, does your car have a foundation attached to something? Your house has a foundations which attaches it to the ground. Hmmmm, If you believe these verses, you must have a hard time finding your house whenever you go out, because it probably moved away while you were gone.





That's not all. 1 Samuel 2:8 states that "For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, And He has set the world upon them". If you go to any seashore, you are bound to see houses built on pillars, and yet the houses don't move. How strange.





Psalms 93:1 flat out says that the world doesn't move. "The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty; The Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established so that it cannot be moved."





Again, earths foundations (as well as the sky's windows) are mentioned in Isaiah 24:18- "And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit, Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken."





The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars





The sun and the moon are mentioned in the Bible. Why wouldn't they be? After all they are these two huge things in the sky every day. Every society has mention of them in their writings, just as every religious text. Some people thought they were gods, others thought they influenced luck and so on. Even today some people won't go out when there's a full moon.





Today we know that they sun is a massive fireball which provides the earth with light and heat... not to mention is a requirement for life on Earth. The moon on the other hand is just another chunk of dirt and rock that floats in space, it just happens to revolve around our little planet. It does effect some things here on Earth, like the tide. The only reason we see it every night is because it reflects light from the sun.





The Bible doesn't always reflect the truth about the sun and moon.





In Genesis 1:16 says "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." According to this, the moon is a light source just like the sun, only not as bright. If this was the case, we couldn't land on the moon, it would be too hot. It is also strange that it took God the day to make the sun and the moon, but the stars are portrayed as an afterthought of sorts. "He made the stars also", this is a definite sign that the Bible is inspired by man. It is clear that man could not have perceived that the stars were the same as the sun, but in most cases much larger. Naturally they thought that these specks were just thrown about. The verse should read "God created the stars and planetary objects, he also made the earth, sun, and moon". But man, in those days, would have never seen it that way.





Isaiah 13:10 also says that the moon is a source of light. "moon shall not cause her light to shine." Again this is another example of the Bible seeming to be inspired by man and limited to his own perception.





Animals in the Bible





The Bible is also pretty good at inaccurately depicting animals. Pretty odd since it is the supposed word of the being who created them.





According to Leviticus 11:5-6 Rabbits (Coney) chew their cud and because of this they are unclean. Last time I checked, rabbits don't chew cud.





According to the Bible, our brother mammal, the bat, is a bird. This one has been debated through e-mail quite a bit, but if one looks in Leviticus 11:13 a list of Fowls is started, and the Bat is included in this list in Leviticus 11:19.





The locust, grasshopper, and beetle all have four feet according to Leviticus 11:22, then in the next verse, it mentions a group of flying animals with four feet. I can't think of any.

Miscellaneous Errors in the Perfect Word of a Perfect God???
I'm not sure what your question is but your discourse is very well researched.





The Bible is just a book of stories to me and has no other status other than its iconic one.





It is definataly the hand of man and not God or any other deity for that matter. It was written as you say, when man's understanding of the physical World was completely different than today and its context and writting reflect this.

Reply:you need to look at the original Hebrew words. english is so bland that words don't translate overly well. Report It

Reply:I also think that you're just trying to argue.





I read some of your 'concerns' though, and they don't make much sense to me. you seem to turn everything to your understanding and opinion rather than trying to see what it really says.





back in the days, when the prophets wrote their accounts, God communicated with them in a manner that they understood.


just to get one example: in Isaiah 13:10 - they saw the moon shine at night, they didn't think about the how. and God didn't tell them because mankind is on earth to grow and learn themselves, and this knowledge wouldn't be important to man's salvation.
Reply:Sorry. Your question is way to long. If you are truly in search of answers -which I seriously doubt- but if you - are contact me and give the questions 1 at a time.
Reply:The "coney" of Levitcus 11:5-6, is the hyrax, or rock bager; it is not a rabbit as you claim in your argument -- according to a footnote in the NIV translation. I take it that you are not a Hebrew scholar.





As for your assertion that about the word "bat" occurring in Leviticus 11:22, and the mention of the locusts, grasshoppers, etc., in other parts of the chapter, the translators of the NIV admit in a footnote that "[t]he precise identification of some of the birds, insects and animals in this chapter is uncertain". You do realize that you are reading an English translation of a document that was originally written in Hebrew, don't you?





It sounds like your analysis has miscellaneous errors. ;-)





In the rest of your analysis, you seem to be taking what is obviously poetic language and using it to prove some preconceived notion that you already have about the Bible. The fact that you have to put so much effort into explaining the alleged "errors" that you found imply that the so-called errors come from your personal interpretation, not the original text itself
Reply:I think you may just be trying to pick fights on here. Obviously the thing you are citing are metaphors. It is ridiculous to claim that ancient writers were only writing literally. All languages of all societies develop metaphors and idioms to express ideas. It's the way humans think. I don't see a question anywhere in here. If it's a question about the Bible's scientific accuracy, well, I hate to burst your bubble, the Bible isn't a science textbook. It was never supposed to be.
Reply:you think like a scientist, maybe you believe that we just became and then adapted, but there is nothing wrong with people having faith in something or someone if that's what makes them happy..as for myself i want to believe that there is a Jesus and a god no matter what i know. i know all about what your saying and i herd about that before and nothing makes more since then what i have just read, but even though i have never chose a religion and i probably never will, in my heart i still have faith in Jesus and God.I don't like reading the bible because it just confuses me, i guess i sorta think like you.
Reply:Bible was manipulated, God sent Bible (Injeel) to Jesus (PBUH) but hypocrites changed many, many verses in it.

Math/logic puzzle help?

Just a few math/logic puzzles i have had trouble figuring out. 10 points for whoever figures out the most of them.





1.) Which is the odd one out?





4 15 9 12 5 8 30 18 24 10


A -B- C- D E- F- G- H- I- J





2.) scale 1 and 2 are balanced. how many cherries are needed to balance the 3rd scale?





A=apple b=banana c=cherry





1 A C C C = B B B


2 B C C = A


3 A B = ?





3.) which number replaces the ?


(i dont understand this one at all...)


C= camel E= elephant P= pig W= walrus





C E P P W = 19


C C E P C = 19


C E E W C = 15


P E P P W = 20


E P C C W = ?


19 15 18 22





4.)find the missing number


(this should be shaped like a body)


head = 14


left arm = ?


right arm = 42


torso = 5


left foot = 15


right foot = 20

Math/logic puzzle help?
Questions 2 and 3 are similar. You are given equations and need to solve for multiple variables.





Number 2:


First take the 2 sides of the scale and set them as equations with both sides being equal.


A + 3C = 3B


B + 2C = A


Then plug in B + 2C for A in the first equation.


B + 2C + 3C = 3B


Solve this equation for B in terms of C.


B + 5C = 3B


B = 2.5C


Then plug this back into the first equation.


A + 3C = 3(2.5C)


Solve this new equation for A in terms of C.


A = 4.5C


Then you have both A and B in terms of C and need to solve for C into the third equation.


A + B = ?C


Solve for this equation plugging your solution for A and B back in.


4.5C + 2.5 C = 7C


So you get that you need 7 cherries to balance the third scale.





The third question is very similar to this but it requires much more algebra since there are many more variables.





First set the first two equations equal to each other, since they both equal 19.


c + e +2p + w = 3c + e + p


You can solve for any variable you want here. I chose to do c first.


p + w = 2c


c = (p + w)/2


Then plug this into another equation. I put it into the third one since it has 2c in it, which will cancel out the 2 in the denominator.


2c + 2e + w = 15


Solve for any variable you want. I chose w.


p + 2w + 2e = 15


2w = 15 - p - 2e


w = 7.5 - 0.5p - e


Then we plug this into another equation. I put it into the fourth equation.


3p + e + 7.5 - 0.5 p - e = 20


Then solve for another variable. I solved for p.


3p + 7.5 - 0.5 p = 20


2.5p = 12.5


p = 5


Now we have p as an actual value, so we put that into a solution we have in terms of p. We have a p in our solution for c so plug it in there.


c = (p + w)/2


c = (5+w)/2


c = 2.5 + 0.5w


Then plug that into an equation. I put it into the first equation.


2.5 + 0.5w + e + 2(5) +w = 19


2.5 + 1.5 w + e + 10 = 19


1.5w + e = 6.5


e = 6.5 - 1.5w


Now put all of our solutions into the last equation and solve to get a value for w.


3p + e + w = 20


3(5) + (6.5 - 1.5w) + w = 20


15 + 6.5 - 0.5w = 20


-0.5w = -1.5


w = 3


Then take this and plug it into the last equation again with all the numerical values we have.


3p + e +w = 20


3(5) + e +3 = 20


18 + e = 20


e = 2


Now we have a value for all of the variables except c. So pick any equation you want and plug all of our numbers in to get c. I did the first equation.


c + e + 2p + w = 19


c + 2 + 2(5) + 3 = 19


c + 15 = 19


c = 4


The last thing we need to do is plug all of our numbers into the fifth equation to get our final answer.


e + p +2c + w = ?


2 + 5 + 2(4) + 3


2 + 5 + 8 + 3 = 18


So 18 is your final answer.





I'm not sure about the first one and I don't even understand the last question... what does it mean that it's shaped like a body?

Rock and Roll Myths?

Not a joke, but I know my friends will like this...





ROCK AND ROLL MYTHS…………..





1: 'Mama' Cass choking on a sandwich


When 'Mama' Cass Elliot died in her London flat in 1974 at the age of 32, a hasty postmortem suggested she had choked on her own vomit while chomping a sandwich in bed. At 5' 5" and 240 pounds, it was easy to believe that - like a female version of Monty Python's Mr Creosote - Elliot had simply gambled on one mouthful too many. Not so. The coroner's report after her death concluded that Cass died of massive heart failure, brought on by obesity and the strains of crash dieting. Though a sandwich may well have been found at her bedside, the autopsy revealed no evidence of food in her trachea. Tragically, it appears she died peckish.





2: Marilyn Manson starring in 'The Wonder Years'


This fuels every parent's fear that the most innocuous geek-child can go stone bad. Did the young Brian Warner (aka Mr Manson) play Paul Pfeiffer, goofy pal of Kevin Arnold, in the schmaltzy rites-of passage TV show? 'It's kind of irrelevant whether these rumours are true or not,' quoth Manson. Well actually, Marilyn, it's not irrelevant to Josh Saviano, who really did play Paul Pfeiffer.


3: The Beatles' spliff in Buckingham Palace


Sometime after our four young heroes bounced into the Palace in October 1965 to receive their MBEs, John Lennon claimed they'd shared a toke in the loos. Not the most reliable witness - he once claimed he wrote 'Eleanor Rigby' - Lennon later 'fessed up, admitting 'we'd have been far too scared to do it'. McCartney, meanwhile, remembers simply having a 'sly ciggie' with the chaps to calm nerves.


4: Keef's blood transfusion


Keen to clean up for a European tour, Richards reportedly replaced his poisoned old claret with an infusion of healthy blood in a Swiss clinic in September 1973. In reality, it was probably only haemodialysis, which filters impurities from the bloodstream. 'Someone asked me how I cleaned up, so I said I had my blood completely changed,' Richards said. 'I was ******* sick of answering that question, so I gave them a story.'


5: Stevie Nicks having cocaine blown up her bum


It's tempting to believe Fleetwood Mac's queen bee followed her addiction to such deliciously depraved depths - but sadly, untrue. 'That's absurd,' said Nicks in 2001. 'Maybe it came about because people knew I had such a big hole in my nose. Let's put a belt through my nose, because that's how big the hole is.' So she just talks through her ****, then. Maybe.


6: Robert Johnson's pact with the devil


Famously, Johnson sold his soul to the devil in order to play guitar like a demon. You want prima facie evidence? How about 'Me and the Devil Blues', and the fact that young Robert was a poor guitarist whose improvement was remarkable. Actually, he used that little known voodoo technique 'practice', and was tutored by a bluesman called Ike Zimmerman. Not Satan.


7: Jacko and the elephant man


Reports surfaced in 1987 that Wacko had offered $50,000 for the remains of the Victorian patient Joseph Merrick, aka the Elephant Man. The offer may have been genuine, but Jackson doesn't own the bones. Merrick's organs were destroyed in an air raid on the Royal London Hospital during the Second World War. Casts of his head, an arm and a foot survived, but were not up for sale.


8: Sid checks in at Heathrow


Punk romantics believe that Sid's mum scattered his ashes over Nancy's grave in Philadelphia. It's more likely that Ma Vicious arrived back at Heathrow with his remains. Malcolm McLaren claims she knocked them over in the arrivals lounge; hence the fanciful myth that Sid's essence still circulates, wafting through the air vents and moving among the travellers.


9: Richey Edwards lives


Ten years on, Richey's disappearance remains imbued with a Lucan-like mythology by those who love a good mystery. Given the extent of his problems - self-harm, alcoholism, anorexia - and the fact that numerous sightings have amounted to nothing, it's safe to assume he's probably no longer alive, sadly. But don't expect the rumours to evaporate.


10: Led Zep and the mud shark


'A pretty young groupie with red hair was tied to the bed,' claimed Stephen Davis in Hammer of the Gods. 'Led Zeppelin proceeded to stuff pieces of shark into her vagina and rectum.' Not quite. Zep did catch sharks from the window of their hotel, but the pesce in question was actually a red snapper, while the perpetrator was road manager Richard Cole.

Where did the idea that man has "Dominion" over the animals and the earth come from?

Dominion is defined as : Control or the exercise of control; sovereignty.





It is maybe true man has the ability to destroy or in animals put in cages, etc. Yes, mankind does domesticate animals, but that is far short of dominion. Who is the man who can by command control a hungry lion in the wild or stop a charging elephant by just convincving the elephant that he is subject to man or mankind Likewise which man is able to tell a tree to grow 6 feet this year and 3 feet next year?





Is it possible that too many Bible teachers are not truly giving much thought to what they teach?

I blame Christianity for that one. Of course, Christianity is on my s*** list right now, so I may not be the most reliable source in this regard
Reply:When is the last time an animal told you what to do? Probably never!!!
Reply:I have always had a problem with this idea. When I was a very young child, my dad took me to church, and we used to have discussions about this. I always said that I just didn't feel like we were supposed to walk around acting superior to all other living creatures.





I also have to disagree with some of the responses. We are very high up in the food chain, but we are not at the top. Ants are probably closer to the top than us. Anyone who owns a pet (particularly a cat) knows that animals can sometimes rule over us. :) The animals that "listen" to the trainers in circuses do so because they have been severly abused a mistreated. Once again, they twist their holy text to fit their agenda...which in this case is that they want to be in charge of everything.
Reply:Genesis.


1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the face of the Earth.





So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. (Genesis 9:1-2)





We are given animals by God for our food and to use their skin and fur for clothing. We are not to abuse them but kill them in a humane way. So, don't feel bad if you eat meat or wear fur...God created animals for us, not the other way around. See scriptures below.





Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. (1 Corinthians 10:25-27 NIV)





Addressing the issue of clean vs. unclean food, Paul says:





As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean. (Romans 14:14 NIV)





Thus Paul acknowledges that people differ in how they view these issues. In fact, he says:





One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. (Romans 14:2 NIV)





Why the reference to "weak faith"? Well, Paul makes it clear that not everyone knows or understand the above facts. Having shown that idols are nothing, he says:





But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. (1 Corinthians 8:7 NIV)





Thing is, when we eat and drink we thank the One who provided the meal, and thus eat in His honor:





So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV)





Don't forget to bless your food...
Reply:are we or are we not at the top of the food chain ....
Reply:Read Genesis 1:27-31 to find out that God does indeed grant man dominion over all living things on the earth. Man can't command a tree to grow 8 ft. overnight... but he can cut it down. Man can't tell an elephant to stop charging, but he can put a bullet through it's head. God says that because humans are created in His own image, that we have a special place to him.... to the point that he would give us the priority over all living creatures on the face of the earth. God loves every living creature, but He especially loves us, because we are created in His own likeness. That is so to say that we aren't to value the lives of any other creature higher than the life of a human.

Reply:Man was given dominion by God, but man traded dominion to satan, in exchange for the knowledge of good and evil.





It was a fool's bargain.
Reply:You are trying to apply many different types of dominion (in their extreme) to a single use of the word. Nevertheless, let's answer one point at a time.





Who is the man who can by command control a hungry lion in the wild - dominion does not *necessarily* mean that the thing you have dominion over responds to your commands. I assure you, I have dominion over my tomato plant. It lives or dies at my whim, yet does not respond to my command.





Stop a charging elephant by convincing...





Dominion over a human can perhaps be accomplished by convincing, but I assure you, I have never had to convince my tomato plant of anything. And yet I retain my dominion...





Likewise which man is able to tell..





Of course, *all* men able to speak are able to tell a tree this. The fact that man cannot supersede the laws of nature ought to be an argument *for* believing the bible. The fact that my dominion of my tomato plant does not extend to this level does not negate my dominion over my tomato plant.





Another mind-bending question solved by Captain Obvious, http://www.jimpettis.com/wheel/...
Reply:This one isn't "Christianity", it is the Old Testament...the book of Genesis and the story of creation is common to more than just the Christian faith.





It comes from the story in Genesis (Gen. 1:28 to be precise). God gave Adam dominion over the all the life IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. I think that's the part people forget when they think we still have dominion over animals.





How's this for a theory...


The way I've always thought about it was that Adam's choice to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil changed the nature of man...and God, being God, knew that man could no longer be trusted with control over the rest of his creation. In that moment, the nature of animals and even the nature of nature itself changed forever! Clearly we don't have dominion over the animals (or anything else) any more or animals wouldn't kill humans (or even each other), we wouldn't have poisionous plants (remember God told Adam he could eat everything EXCEPT the one tree he chose!), and the earth itself wouldn't have the ability to strike back at the poor management decisions of man (e.g., mudslides caused cutting trees or over developing)! None of those reactions would be necessary because God created man to be a good manager of his creation...Adam decided to choose a different path!
Reply:It's actually in the Bible, God gave Adam after he created him, dominion over all the animals of the earth.
Reply:It was God's idae not mans .No doubt about it God created Adam then Eve both in his own image and then.....





Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.





God said it, that settles it! Cap'n Arlo
Reply:Christianity..... donno the exact quote - but Christian God gives Adam dominion over all the animals etc. (from memory)..... applied in some ways of Magick too (but, don't care to comment further)...
Reply:um a circus performer can control those animals


you dont make sense
Reply:Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.





Just where do you get that domestication is not the same as dominion?


The whole idea is that of steward and caretaker. But as with all other things that were intended sin (disobedience) entered the picture and man took the selfish path that the curse led him down and he has perverted it as he has everything else that was created good like sex.

I need help finding errors in my Reserch paper.?

In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton's set out on an expedition to Antarctica. His goal being the first to explore and cross the entire continent on foot. With a crew of 28 men they departed off the shore of South Georgia on their ship Endurance. They ended up being stranded on the ice. How could they ever survive?


The three hundred ton ship Endurance took on supplies, sixty nine sled dogs, and three life boats for the expedition. Encountering heavy pack ice which they battled for weeks weaving and plowing through the ice with their steam powered ship. Their ship was trapped by ice on January 18, 1915. Trying to break up the ice in front of the ship was pointless it was just to thick. They spent the rest of the day removing ice from in behind of the Endurance trying to slowly back it out. But over night, while they stayed on board, they lost their progress when the ship was caught in the ice.


They were stuck approximately one hundred miles or one days worth of sailing from Antarctica's coast. The crew dealt with the harsh weather of temperatures of -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. They decided to move on during their voyage in the Spring when the ice would part from around the Endurance. Wading out until Spring, they did daily chores varying from scrubbing floors, chopping ice from the ship, or hunting for food.


On October 27, 1915 the Endurance starts to buckle from the enormous amount of pressure. The ice started to break apart the Endurance like a twig. Now sinking into the Weddell Sea, the men did all they could do to salvage what they could from the ship. Now not having the ship as shelter from all of Antarctica's harsh weather. They bundle up in their wool sleeping bags which ended up freezing over night like a rock and having to sleep in five tents with linens so thin you could see the moon. Hunting seals, penguins , and shot the sled dogs for food. Doing everything they can to do to survive.


As the snow melted from beneath them, they sailed off in their three life boats drifting a hundred and fifty mile to Elephant Island. Now finally reaching the island they make a makeshift shelter out the two of the life boats sitting on stone walls. Killing seals for food and burning the blubber oil for light. Shackleton had now decided he would have to try to reach South Georgia. Only knowing that it was over eight hundred miles away. The crew started water proofing one of the life boats with the blubber of the seals and from the salvaged the mass from the Endurance they made a sail. James Wolsey, the captain of the Endurance was now going to be their navigator. Taking along four other men besides Shackleton and the Captain they set out to sea April 24, 1915.


Now fighting high winds and rough seas, Wolsey used a tool called a sextant to navigate their journey to South Georgia, he was only able to take four sightings which made it very hard to stay on course. As he crouched to the bottom of the boat he penciled out the math. May 10, 1915 they landed safely on the shore of Cape Rosa. The men set camp as Shackleton planed out their route over the mountains to reach the Stromness station. May 20, 1915 Shackleton and three other men crossed the mountains walking non stop for thirty six hours covering twenty two miles arriving at the station. As they walked towards the station they saw the stations manager. Being dressed in rags they were not being recognized by him. The manager called out "Who the hell are you?" "My name is Shackleton." The Whalers let them in with open arms.


After reuniting with the other men on the other side of the island they had to make plans to save the rest of the twenty two crew on Elephant Island. Shackleton make three rescue attempts but was not successful until August 30, 1915 when they were loaned a tug by the Chilean government. On Elephant Island the tug was spotted and they castaways ran out onto the beach. Shackleton with his binoculars counted the crew mates. “They are all there,” he said. All the men were saved and returned to home while World War I raged on.


During this time of crisis they all worked together to keep each other alive. Stood up to the elements that were thrown at them and succeeded at their goal to return home alive. Staying on a continent with no civilization was tough on them but they made the best out of the worst.

I can try to help you, at least with the grammatical part, I don't know how helpful I can be on the actual content, because I don't know a lot about the actual subject, but here goes:





In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton's set out on an expedition to Antarctica, his goal being the first to explore and cross the entire continent on foot. With a crew of 28 men they departed off the shore of South Georgia on their ship, which was called "Endurance". They ended up being stranded on the ice and many people have wondered how they could ever survive.





The 300-ton ship Endurance took on supplies, 69 sled dogs, and three life boats for the expedition. Encountering heavy pack ice, which they battled for weeks, they weaved and plowed through the ice with their steam powered ship. On January 18, 1915, their ship was trapped by ice. Trying to break up the ice in front of the ship was pointless because it was too thick. They spent the rest of the day removing ice from behind of the ship trying to slowly back it out. But throughout the night, while they stayed on board, they lost their progress when the ship was caught in the ice.





They were stuck approximately 100 miles, which was equivalent to one days' worth of sailing from Antarctica's coast. The crew dealt with the harsh weather of temperatures between -30 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. They decided to move on during their voyage in the Spring when the ice would part from around the Endurance. Wading out until Spring, they performed daily chores such as scrubbing floors, chopping ice from the ship, and hunting for food.

They had to hunt seals and penguins, and also had to shoot the sled dogs for food, doing everything they could in order to survive.





As the snow melted from beneath them, they sailed off in their three life boats drifting 150 miles to Elephant Island. When they reached the island they made a makeshift shelter out the two of the life boats sitting on stone walls. They killed seals for food and burned the blubber oil for light. Shackleton had now decided that he would have to try to reach South Georgia, knowing that it was over 800 miles away.

As they walked towards the station they saw the stations manager. Being dressed in rags they were not being recognized by him.

NOTES: Overall, I thought your report was very interesting, but here are a few writing tips:





1) usually numbers are not written out unless they are very small numbers, but when you are using numbers to identify things such as addresses, amounts or large numbers, you should write the actual number





2) Make sure your sentences always contain verbs





3) when you are quoting someone, always begin the quote with a new paragraph, and identify the speaker





4) Try to avoid using analogies, such as 'break apart the Endurance like a twig'





I hope this helps

Giant men. giant womanbats evolutionists help me out here?

Fossil record has shown:





Giant oysters on top of everest, now we have tiny ones





Giant elephants found in britian, now we have tiny ones, no where near britian





Giant cats, compare a sabre tooth tiger to it's modern equivalent








Dragon flies with 5 foot wing spans, compared to their modern day equivalents





Giant beavers, the size of a car, compare with their modern equivalents





it goes without saying, imagine how big the spiders must have been to catch those dragon flies....yea i know





lets not even get started on 50 foot sharks, in fact you would need jaws as bait to make them at all interested





the mastadon, the sabre tooth tiger and man all lvied together at the same time, according to evo's anyhow it's one thing we agree on





Why did the mastodon shrink to become a elephant so tiny in comparison





why did the sabre too th tiger shrink to become the tiger





why did the car sized beaver shrink to become a 2 by 4 beaver





and why did man do the complete opposite?

Giant men. giant womanbats evolutionists help me out here?
It's called evolution, which is not a predictable process but depends on the circumstances surrounding the events.





One cannot forecast the path of future evolutionary progress, only look at the evidence of what has actually taken place in the past.
Reply:tell me more about the beaver!!!!!





the trilobytes and the colecanth
Reply:several recent /that means living today/ species deliver HUGE variety in body size -i.e. WOLVES, TIGERS. one of the basic biological laws states that the animals living in the colder climate produce bigger bodies, because these provide less body surface to volume ratio, which means better body temperature control.





the purposedly selected two species probably not even relative to each other should not be counted as an example of the "past" and "present" there were various types of mastodonts, some of them furry, some bald, some bitgger than recent elephants, some were in fact smaller.





The humans constantly happen to grow in size, because so far we are following the "initial" stages - note that in fact the biggest forms are the last ones - like the giant dinosaurs, giant mamooths, and giant birds of the Southern America prior to the linkage with the Northern America and its wide population of mammal carnivores.

Reply:As life spread competition meant that smaller animals did better. There was also a much thicker atmosphere then.


Man has developed by using tools and his brain.


We are not that much bigger than we used to be and the increase is due to better nutrition.


Scientists dont have all the answers but they have more than the one


God did it.
Reply:Survey says- geologic change ( everest oysters) atmospheric change and survival advantage to being smaller ( more energy efficient to simply use a more advanced brain and not rely on being huge.) .As for us we got bigger than chimps to let us have longer legs and thereby run faster to allow hunting and meat for more protein for larger brains which helps us survive better.

Reply:There was giant men also.


The oxygen enriched planet was different before the flood. It produced a different world then we now know. I do believe in the canopy theory that there was a canopy of water around the earth making the whole of the world a tropical paradise.
Reply:There were small animals at the same time. It's like rats. Some species of rats are small, and some are dog sized.





The larger animals died. The ones that evolved to be smaller did so because they could not get enough food to sustain their large bodies.





Large animals had to evolve to be smaller so that they could get more food. At the same time, smaller animals, didn't have to compete as much with the larger animals so they were free to grow larger and take up space.





Also, I think you should learn more about genetics before you go asking a question like this. "Sabre tooth cats" are not that closely related to modern tigers. There were several different species of "sabre toothed cat", including smilodon, barbourofelis, and the marsupial lions, which werea actually more closely related to kangaroos than tigers, and are a perfect example of convergent evolution.
Reply:I think, it is in course of time.


Nature's expression.


None else can be made responsible.


Please try yourself by reversing the facts as why now like this small so big then etc..


You yourself will conclude that none else is responsible.
Reply:Giant cats - the world is full of giant cats, You could say that this is the Age of cats. Lions, Tigers, ocelots, panthers, pumas, etc. Take your pick for modern equivilent.





Spiders were once the size of the human head and did not hunt the dragon fly, the dragonfly hunted them. Scorpions were at one time tremendous.





Along with the mastodon and the sabre tooth tiger, ealry man likely also say that 50 foot shark you mentioned - megalodon.





Mastodon size and hair was an adaptation to the ice ages. Increased size results in fewer points of body weight per cubic foot of surface area making retaining heat easier. As the food supply and environment reacted to the passage of the ice age, mastodons changed and their change was also heavily influenced by being hunted by man.





sabre tooth tiger I know less about but, it actually didnt shrink to become the tiger. it simply went extinct. if i remember correctly, modern species of tiger are not direct descendents of sabre tooths





big beavers also went extinct due to over hunting (by humans). if they did evolve into the smaller version, it would have been a result of environmental changes and adaptation due to being preyed upon however, it is important to note that many organisms have shared the same body design without being directly related. this is one of the ways that proponents of intelligent design merge their Belief with evolution.





yes, it is interesting that man is becoming larger. it's also no surprise that man is the dominant life form and is the only creature which currently is considered as "intelligent".
Reply:smaller animals=more food


think about it
Reply:Creatures that are now larger than anything they evolved from:





-Felidae. Every last one. There are Felis Cattus (housecats) bigger than the largest paleolithic cats. Most of them were about the size of the modern bobcat, which is the smallest of the wild cats. The sabre toothed tiger (Smilodon) was not a "giant" cat. A modern lion or tiger would TOWER over them. Most tigers are over 300kg. It is estimated most smilodons were in the 200-300kg range. There was a brief period with a group of smilodons that are probably close to 400. the largest tiger ever was in the 500s. In 1973, the largest modern great cat was 798kg, and was a liger. Smildodon's ancestors were smaller than housecats. They reached a giant size, THEN DIED OUT because they were too big for their niche.








-Whales. Every last one. Whales started out around the size of marlins.





-Gorillas, specifically gorilla gorilla gorilla, the mountain gorilla, is the largest anything like that.





-Capybara, the largest true rodent, is the largest rodent ever. While it once had a giant offshoot, the small variety is contemporary with it- it did not evolve FROM the giant, the giant evolved from it.











I don't know how to tell you this, as well, but you're reading the phylogenic trees wrong.





The giant mastadon, the pygmy elephant and the current 4 species of elephant all track back phylogenically to something about the size of a bull moose. The current elephants we have evolved from a smaller size.





Edit: Megaladon is shark-like, not a true shark. Shall I say that the elephant seal is smaller than the elephant?
