    Which Church has the best artwork?

    I didn't say anything about Orthodox art copying anything. I did mention symbolism within anchient Egyption art. Glad you like it. Islamic art doesn't get enough reccognition. wa:do

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    The ancient Egyptians managed an incredible amount of symbolism in their artwork. From the sizes of the figures to the specific poses and colors chosen... often all wrapped in scripture. It's pretty amazing. I also find Islamic script to be staggeringly beautiful. The choice to focus on the...

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    No worries. Not only am I used it is by now... but I know not to stain everyone with the same brush. The individual is not always representative of the whole. I seek to understand individuals over groups whenever possible. wa:do

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    Shows what you know about her religion. Or any indigenous faith really. Unless spiritual purity, self sacrifice and thankfulness are somehow carnal now? wa:do

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    You strongly implied it when you went on your little side track about "Incas, Myans, Aztecs, and Pagans in general" I somehow doubt that was unintentional. wa:do

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    You're just saying that my church doesn't count... and that you think I'm some kind of murderous savage. wa:do

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    Christians did some vile things too... but I don't take a dump on your house of worship because some of you slaughtered millions (and in some places are still killing) for the sake of purity or spiritual conquest. That is my church pictured in my post. You didn't ask for a building of stone...

    Which Church has the best artwork?

    I think the LDS Jesus looks like a cleaned up Grizzy Adams. (no offense) Way to white bread for a middle eastern Jew. Now my "church" truly has the best art... it has inspired people from the dawn of time. wa:do

    How the chickens learned the need to sit on it's eggs ?

    Linking Iron and meteorites is pretty common. Even the Inuit knew of it. In many cultures the iron from a meteorite was considered exceptionally significant. wa:do

    How the chickens learned the need to sit on it's eggs ?

    If you don't know the answer to that then how do you know evolution couldn't have been how God did it? :shrug: wa:do

    Crank Magnetism

    Because once you convince yourself that a conspiracy that involves major aspects of the culture and tens of thousands of participants.... then every conspiracy is possible. Doctors cover up cures to diseases Scientists cover up evolution Government covers up 9-11, sandy hook Media conspires to...

    Why do some scientists reject evolution?

    Why do some people believe that Elvis is still alive and well? That the light from balls of gas billions of light years away control their fate? Your quoted scientist has admitted that his goal is to protect his faith in an ancient book and it's deity. wa:do

    How the chickens learned the need to sit on it's eggs ?

    "Brooding" behavior is actually quite common among egg laying species regardless of the need to keep the eggs warm or not. The primary purpose is not to keep the eggs warm, but to protect them from predators. The behavior also happens to have the added benefit (for some species) of keeping...

    Some questions about your experiences with evolution...

    I can't remember, but I think it was around middle school. Yes... I studied biology in university. I had dedicated classes in evolution, genetics, ecology, physiology and morphology. Although evolution was obviously part of every biology course due to it's central role in the discipline. Only...

    What was the First Religion?

    I don't think we can ever know, nor would we recognize the first religious experimentation of our deep ancestors. It's all well and good to label us animists as "primitive" and somehow our religion evolved into the more "advanced" religions of "civilized cultures".... but it's a crock of dung...

    Why is God Up?

    My opinion is that it's because death is below us. We bury our dead in the ground under our feet and the ground is cold and hard... but we watch birds fly free in the air and we feel the wind as "breath" and the sun gives us warmth and light... so it makes sense that "up" would be something...
