I posted a discussion about how long the earth might have been here before God actually created living things on it. Many interesting ideas were posted. My question now is: If the earth was here before the sun was, was it rotating...

Becky I must have read your response wrong. I apologize. It just sounded to me like you were stating things as fact rather than as a possible way things might be. Again, sorry to have misinterpreted. I just get so tired of know-it-alls who talk...

Becky I appreciate when these types of questions are asked that encourage us to think and listen to one another. But please, iuliuxd, none of us should pretend we know what the Bible means or what happened in the beginning or what will happen in the end. Your...

Becky I'm improving every day. I just do the best I can to do a little better in every area daily. Part of the reason I became so depressed this time - I've gone through several major bouts before but never needed hospitalization and gone through years and years...

Becky Now I'm getting it. We have commons also. But our commons have a different definition. Whereas a common in the UK is privately owned, in the US it's group or community owned. Probably many of the same laws apply to our commons and your commons, but I think...

Everyday, we have many things we need to remember and if we forget them, we can miss a question in the test, we can miss an important meeting or a task to do. We sure need to work with our memory. When I was a student, I had a...

Becky Exactly! So if the students understand the material, they don't really have to memorize anything. When they see a question about it, they can just discuss it or use what they know. I think this is why the upper levels of learning are so important. The...

Becky The reason I suggested the house with the unlocked door originally was because of the analogous reasoning. It's a stumbling block for many in the US. Because in the US, there is no distinction made when we "borrow" something that belongs to someone else, the...

Becky I think giving some an option to pay into the system could have value. However, the problem I see has to do with the way the funding of the system is set up. When we pay into the system, two things happen. The money goes into the account and pays for current...

Becky Hmmm....interesting way to think about it. Surprisingly, I've never heard that argument. When you explain it like that, it kind of seems obvious. So you're saying in your mind, it's the physical barriers that you see that make a difference? Or, as you added...

Becky $3!? How can you do it? I'm feeling pretty good if I can get away with spending less than $5 on my main meal. And the cost of living is more expensive there than it is here. I dont know how you do it.

Becky Is it OK to take the newspapers out of someone's mailbox? Or to open someone's mailbox and go through their mail without taking anything? Not talking what is the law. SHOULD you? Is it OK in your morality? How should the law be?
