coolseeds You are in a tough business. Most of the landscaping companies around here have what THEY call a designer but I wouldn't call them that. I get paid to fix a lot of their design flaws. I have a few clients who let me do everything. Most think they do a good...

Wanderlaugh Bear in mind this can work both ways: 1. People who like your designs can commission landscapers. 2. Landscapers who want to use your designs can recommend them to clients. Both clienteles need to be addressed. Professionally, your credentials are...

There has been much debate between evolution and creation. Which one is right and which one is wrong? Is it possible that they could both be right? Does evolution really prove there is no God. Many religious people state that...

Fargale The existance of a god, or any other supernatural entity, can never be proven or disproven. They are a concept of something that lies outside our natural laws, therefore it is impossible to develop an experiment that would prove or disprove their...

Thomas73 I personally find this story both pathetic and horrifying. How can anyone be so cruel as to ask someone to kill his own son, and how dumb can this someone be to be willing to obey such an order? This is what happened time and time again throughout history,...

Shadenfrauder Isaac's response was equally revealing of his maturity in his father's - and his - faith. How old was Isaac then? Probably he's in his youth, nearing his prime. How about Abraham? He was old in the literal sense of the word. Before reaching the site of the...

pr1s0ner What I don't understand about ID is how it gets from Intelligent Designer to Omnipotent Good God i.e. Christian. There seems to be a pseudo-attempt to be scientific initially but followed by a huge leap, literally of faith, to get to the Omnipotent being. Is...

omnithought I think it's a combination of an abysmal public education system mixed with intentional ignorance on the part of religious groups. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people throwing the word "theory" around without having any idea what the word actually means....

pr1s0ner Fargale: You write very eloquently and I closely share your views - it all seems self-evidently true to me. But! How do you keep on, keeping on, in the face of such resistance - people who will never budge a millimetre? What keeps you going?

pr1s0ner That's very generous of you. I would hesitate to spend a lot of time arguing white is white when others are telling you something different. It would seem more interesting to me to move to true debates where there is a genuine scientific issue. e.g. for me its...

Fargale pr1soner, my main motivation is that I learn a lot during these discussions. Not only about science itself - it's always good to become familiarized with differing views to your own, and often I have to do some research and learn something I didn't know before...
