ocalhoun The best way would be to download some forum software and install it on your website. My favorite software of that type is phpbb. It is easy to use, easy to administrate, has plenty of features, free, and easily modifiable. Go to www.phpbb.com to get it. (I...

ocalhoun Well, as far as where viruses come from, it could be the same place that we're from (whatever your beliefs have to say about that) but it is possible for viruses to cross species boundaries during mutations. As for a meteorite making people sick...

ocalhoun Any really good forum in English will share both American and European members, so there's no big 'American' forum. A couple that I like: Flamehaus: Was originally a gamer forum, but now is all-purpose and HUGE. Lives up to its name, though. (69,000...

ocalhoun I've near perfect credit, which is easy to obtain as long as you don't make any stupid mistakes. (The only bad mark against me is that I once had a late payment). I'm against the whole idea of a credit score, though. It has come to be used in far too many...

What school of thought are you most comfortable with? Is it Calvinism or Arminianism? If you don't know what they are, here's heads-up for you... :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminianism

2 responses

ocalhoun Arminianisim, because of the verse that says 'God is not willing that any should perish...'. How can that verse co-exist with predestination?

hi i want to know how i can add timer in html page ? thanks for help me about this

1 response

ocalhoun Depends what kind of timer you're talking about... In any case, you'll probably be using java script. If you don't know the first thing about java, that's fine, you should be able to find a completely finished script somewhere that you can download.

ocalhoun The most likely explanation would be a crashed US military experiment. A missile, plane, or crashed satellite. It would be the only explanation that would show why a cover-up would be needed. (especially in the case of a crashed satellite, back then they...

ocalhoun I think you've found the real problem against implementing this here; 'human dignity'. But what is the fundamental difference between an animal and a human that makes 'it' appropriate for use on animals, but not for humans?

ocalhoun Unfortunately, using 'them' or 'they' is not correct either, because it gets the pluralization wrong. It is incorrect to use 'they' to refer to a single individual. Although this is often seen, any grammar teacher or book will warn against it.

ocalhoun Because the moon will be hidden by clouds, right? Unless it's orbit radically changes, Pluto will never be as easy to see as the moon. It isn't even much bigger than the moon, so it would have to get as close to the Earth as the moon is in order to be seen...

ocalhoun Six sigma is just a statistical term. It is used to represent the 6th section away from the peak of a bell curve. (likewise 7 sigma is the seventh) 6 sigma means that the goal is only one defect in millions.
