Yes I remember, few weeks ago, I have received email from my 11 years daughter saying Because I encourage her on the net since she was 5 years old, I wanted to help and started invistage the matter. Here is my results: 1. I found that the age have to be 18. That mean this program make her to lie. I was very angry because I say all the times that "lying is the origin of all sins". If you can not lie any lie, you can not make anything wrong. 2. The program invite you to make survey, admit your address, birth date and email address. So it collect this information and sell it to future spammers. 3. You have to complete offers from some sponsors [ that the obstacle] 4. You have to invite or refer 5 friends and they have to do the same (conduct survey, admit their address and signup offers from the sponsors etc) That mean you will never satisfy their conditions. NEVER. They only collect your information. sell it to others and use it or others in future spanning on you.

1. I have received many of such Email , last year. But thank god none in this year. 2. I reported them to spamcop. 3. I put them in special folder to investigate their IP and the links between them 4. My investigation showd that most of them initiated in Nigeria or in Eastern Europe Republics of the former Soviet Union. 5. I think they have two objects: a- step by step will collect many financial information about you:, your bank, your address, your emails, your credit cards,....THat they can used in theift identity, credit application on your behalf to their destination,....OR they sel these information to others. b. when you start be concerned, they will ask a flow from costs, to solicitors, to issues documents, to insurance, to transfer etc, bit by bit and not all together. AS you paid some , you find yourself to continue and not stop. It is as gambeling. 6. I remember once I replied to one that was more natural to see what they are doing. In my reply, I said: " - I am ready to help but I will not put any cent, except my times, emails and corresponce. - I will not but my self in lying position [because I agains lie even the tiny one] If you find that you can fulfill these two conditions, I happy to help. NO ANSWER AFTER THAT !!!!!!!!! 7. In your case GOOGLE has no role except that investigate the matter as a spam. If they as Yahoo or hotmail, they will shut the account. But unfortunately they can get another one next day. So the head is not suitable but it can be "Spam Complain" head or topic.

Religions And Creeds What we believe and why.
kasm replied to ATMcGuire's topic in Science and Technology
I. I am scientist and researcher for 45 years and thousands has graduated under me in many countries. I tell you all what we in science do is to study, explore, put models and suggest hypothesis to what is going on. You talked lot about the gravity and why it is but you didn't explain why it the way is it. Why the gravity constant is what is equal. I have studied Newton Mechanics and Einstein General and Special Relativity. You said in other place that "Gravity can be proven and there are not millions of different types of gravity." but in fact there are because every planets in every system and every galaxy has its different gravity. The big bang theory is one of hypothesis to explain the universe. Do you know that there are many other competing hypotheses. Do you know how many previous hypothesis to explain optics until currently the Electromagnetic" theory . II. Who believe in God doesn't need exact proof. That why it called belief or faith. But any belief has bases. You by yourself said "The sky could have been created from some kind of star exploding or something. " that is your belief without any proof. You used "could " for uncertainty. The same who believe in big bang haven't exact proof but it is their belief. Expanding the universe is not a proof but a phenomena needs to be accomedated one way or another. III. As the existence of the electricity, magnetism and gravity, depend on their sign and effects, the believer in God are do that because the SIGNS OF GOD DESIGN IN NATURE . Believers in God do that because they think deeply and put in consideration: 1- Until now we couldn't create a tiny cell from scratch. 2- Until now and after about 50 years in space , we didn't visit in the universe except Earth's Sputnik, the moon. There are 7 and now 9 planets in our Sun System. Every star is similar to the Sun has its planets, and every planet has its moon or moons. Moreover group of star constitute Galaxy and Galaxies constitute,... etc etc.... 3- Why our planet the earth has all facilities to survive, the atmosphere protect it, the oxygen and Carbon balances, the gravity, The Sun and the moon to give it light and warm and stability, etc etc 4- Our body systems why they are the way they are. The miracles of Heart, the miracles of the blood, the respiratory system, Nerve system, the defense imune system, the hormones, our eyes, ears, kidneys, livers, stomach, tongue ...and our reproduction system. How the pregnancy happen and how the body works when pregnancy happen. How the mother start to produce milk before giving birth etc etc.. Why these months in womb.etc etc.. 5- Why we die if we in water without support while the fish and other water creation die if they left the water. 6- the cycle of reproductions in plants or some animal creations as the butterflies,... 7- there is another pressure in plant than animal. 8- Ants and Bees kingdom. 9- The system and characteristic of Camel to make him to survive and walk in deserts and walks on sands. 10- The immigration of birds and fish by thousands of miles. 11- We breath Oxygen and produce Carbon Oxide and the Plants use Carbon Oxide to produce to us Oxygen 12- The cycle of water , clouds, rain, fall on mountains to make rivers, evaporation of sea and oceans water to make clouds, etc etc... there are million not one sign Soon I will finalize this topic and post some in the Forum and put all in my site. -
Is 21 Y.o. Old? Is 21 year of age considered old?
kasm replied to FLaKes's topic in General Discussion
1. No, 21 years of age is not old. But you are an adult. 2. Be realistic. That's the miracle of life. Moving from childhood to teenager then adult and at last elder. See the nature. See the plants and how a seed is dying in the soil to become a whole new plant. 3. Be optimistic. The responsibilities is not bad. 4. You still can ran or jump if you want. 5. You can be creative more than before. You will start work, supervise some other, advice other, teach comete, solve problems love opposite sex and produce the next generation . You will show your talent and creativity. 6. You not have to ware suit all time as you think or never . -
1. Will a clerk or an astronomer working in Vatican determine our faith?. Even now day there are many non-christian people are working in Catholic Organization. 2. For 2000 years anti-Christianity trying stopping Christianity by all means but haven't succeeded and will not. Neither by books or films or what one say in book or film or focusing what this say or that think will not succeed. 3. I tell this journalist or the writer of the article, that saying "Christian God " is wrong. Christian believe in the same God as Jews or Muslims. [see my posting in this forum with headings: "We Believe In The Same One God " 4. Of course relegion and real science can and must live together. I stress on real not the Historical Science or origin science which are not science at all. There are many things is called science but is not the real science. 5. There are many meaning to the word evolution and what religion people denies is the macro evolution. See my posting in this forum headings: "Evolution Is Not Science Nor Scientific Theory, Evolution" at: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/34318-evolution-is-not-science-nor-scientific-theory-evolution/ where you find the different types of Evolution. I wonder after the clarification we didn't hear from the evolutionist [i.e Darwinism] people and there were few replies and argue. 6. Please, see also the topic in the forum : "Intelligent Design Vs. Evolution " where I said:

Religions And Creeds What we believe and why.
kasm replied to ATMcGuire's topic in Science and Technology
The first point and the fourth point are the core of Christianity. The salvation, incarnation of Jesus and his Resurrection . Accept that or you are not Christian. As in Islam you become Muslim if you confirm two points: "No God but Allah and Mohamed is God's messenger" The third point was misunderstanding of you. When they said that Santa is Real they mean that St Nicholas , the Bishop in Turkey but not the American fair tales of Santa. The same I spoke about real Santa in this two posting to this forum: St Nicolas: http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?shoc=31564&hl=kasm Evolution of santa http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?shoc=31566&hl=kasm The second point is fantasy, nobody say that of sure. When I saw St Mary in 1968 in Cairo with million, the Vatican sent delegation to investigate the matter: see my part of posting in: http://forums.xisto.com/index.php?shoc=33658&hl=Mary http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ By the way you asked no hate post and in the same time you come to threat and named St Mary as Bloody mary!!!! You could if you don't want say St Mary , to refer to her as Jesus'mother Mary instead of these street language. There are many great people in history [whatever right or wrong] but they are not Jesus and some of them didn't follow him. It was the responsibility of disciples and others to tell all the world about Jesus and they did and lost their life in that mission..They have they trace in history. People who heard about Jesus and rejected him they will be responsible for that matter. Ghandi knew about Jesus during his life in Britain and South Africa. Believe me , while there are killing but not as before Christianity. Read and think about the life in Europe before Christianity. What was between tribes in Africa. What Did Persian or Roman Empire. What Did Jankis Khan, etc... See how the Christian World helped in Crisis as Tsunami or Earthquakes in non-christian countries. Think how Christian went to help Muslims in Bosnia and Cosove against Yugoslavia... -
The Possibility Of Gay Rights Should it be allowed?
kasm replied to BooZker's topic in General Discussion
- It is not normal. Show me in nature, any other animals have homosextual relationship. In facts in wild, two adult lions can not live in the same region. Two queen bees can not be together, they have to divide their kingdom. - It is against the production of next generation. - If for any reason the gay people can not act as nature expect from them, then let this not by shouting or make prades or asking equality in every items of life . Disable people can be respected but they have to know their abnormality. The blind or deaf people have not to go fight and say it is equality. The people with heart problem have not to practice hard activities. People with bone problem have not to compete in running or swimming. People with sight problem and using glasses better to them not participate in some activitites. You asked my opinion and I gave it. Notice from jlhaslip: Deleted duplicate posting. -
Slobodan Milosevic Found Dead In Cell ... natural death or suicide ...
kasm replied to adriantc's topic in General Discussion
Strange opinions about globalization, federation, loves to become slaves to others, acceptance of foreign ruling, loves the aggressor, wrong understanding that invasion of others by Hitler was "protecting integrity", wrong definition for Victory of Germany (the beginning victories or the last results). Good for you but not for me and the others. Does US is free from corruption and bureaucracy? What about killing entire nations in America or Australia by the British? What about the killing and slavery of Africans by the British, French and others. What about British war against China to accept opium trade . What about Arabic and Ottoman Empires to spread and enforce Islam (the problems in Bosnia and Kosova were resulted of that) The difference between Hitler and what the British and the French did is that Hitler conquered and occupied Europe while the others invaded and genocides Africans, Asian, Native Americans and the Aboriginals of Australia -
Slobodan Milosevic Found Dead In Cell ... natural death or suicide ...
kasm replied to adriantc's topic in General Discussion
1. How you compare someone defend the integrity of his country with some one invaded and conqured all the European countries. You are wrong in this comparison. What if some states in US wanted to seperate?. Wasn't in the past civil war in US until the unification? 2. Why you dreamed that Germans would rule and considered the world would be in better place. Every country will be happy if they free from occupation or foreign ruling. 3. President Bush killed thousands and destoyed two countries because 6 thousands Americans was killed. He could find a way to punish the criminal terrorists without destroying countries or killing civilians. Morever Iraq has no relation with this crime. 4. The history and his people who will judge him whether he hero or not. His people consider him hero and the governement gave him for the promise of benefits which didn't come and will not come. -
Slobodan Milosevic Found Dead In Cell ... natural death or suicide ...
kasm replied to adriantc's topic in General Discussion
Yes he will be considered hero. His guilt is he defended his country from disintegration. He fought terrorists in his regional land "kosovo" before the international declaration of war on terrorism . While he was brought to trial, the American President Clinton who bombing the civilian, cities and bridges in Yougoslavia , he is walking free everywhere. Also President Bush who destroyed two countries [iraq and Afghanistan] and killed thousands of civilians by mistakes, he will not be in any trial. Even his soldiers are immune from going to any international tribunal. Before that the American president Truman who killed hundreds of thousands of Innocent Japanese civilian never tried for this crime. The same Israeli's leaders who are killing civilian as they like and destroying houses and lands as they see and do more than the WWII criminals did , nobody blame them and they find excuses to them. But no excuses to the Yugoslavian leaders to protect the integrity of their country -
1. It is very important to be quite clear about the sense in which one is using the words as : Science , Theory and Evolutions. 2. In school text books there is confusion in the use of the term 'evolution' . There are many different ways the word 'evolution' is used. It is very important to be quite clear about the sense in which one is using the word. One of these defination Evolution as minor variations and adaptations (which is in fact the micro evolution definition). So it is better to count the types of the evolution. There are 6 types of evolution known to me: [i will quote them to avoid accusing me of cutting and paste . It is from my accumulated knowledge base from many sources]: 3. When we speak about science we mean pure science . Many use termonolgy science out of their origin when we say: Creation Science, Christian Science, Social Science, Historical Science, Origin Science [How matter and life began],.... The pure Science definition is in dictinories, philosphy of science' books. The minimum requirements was given in the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, 1981: 4. The hypothesis or the theory in the common meaning will be considered scientific theory if it satisfied many requirements among them: So one important requirement to be a theory is to help us to predict future events. For example When we launch a satellite we know from our theories where it will be after 2 days for example or when it will arrive to its planned position. 5. Then my topic is "Evolution is not science nor scientific theory". By "Evolution", I mean cosmic, chemical, organic, macro evolution. You can call them Origin Science as there are social science, christian science .... The reasons that each is not science is that it is not testable or falsiable. Each is not not scientific theory because it doesn't lead to predictions or retrodictions that are testable. For example it can not tell us what will be the human after 500 or million years from now? What will be the panda or the whale 300 years from now?. Moreover it couldn't lead us what was on the past by any confidence except fairy tales. 6. Please stick to the point. No need to compare with any other un-true science. No needs to involve religions or beliefs. I recognize that micro evolution is science and scientific theory. 7. If you think it is falsiable give us example. Please don't give examples for micro evolution as it is example for macro evolution as many text books do. 8. If you think it is testable then give us how? without refer us to confusing sites?. 9. If you have ideas what it will predict then tell us. Please don't offer mutations and antibiotic resistance in bacteria (micro evolution - real science) as being some sort of prediction of macro evolution (origins science).

Hypothesis and Theory in Science Scientific Theories Some universally accepted models such as atomic theory are so well-established that it is nearly impossible to imagine them ever being falsified. Others, such as relativity and electromagnetism have survived rigorous empirical testing without being contradicted, but it is nevertheless conceivable that they will some day be supplanted. Younger theories such as string theory may provide promising ideas, but have yet to receive the same level of scrutiny. Scientific theories can be described by characteristics which they share in common and which differentiate them from unscientific theories. A scientific theory must be: 1. a simple unifying idea that postulates nothing unnecessary 2. logically consistent (internally and externally) 3. Useful (describes and explains observed phenomena) 4. logically "OR" Empirically tested and based upon Controlled, Repeated Experiments . A theory which cannot be tested empirically is useless for researchers. 5. lead to predictions or retrodictions that are testable. A theory which has not made any actually verified predictions might prove useful in the future when its predictions are verified, but not currently. A theory which cannot provide retrodictions (to utilize present information or ideas to infer or explain a past event or state of affairs) may also be useful in the future, but not currently. If a theory's results cannot be reproduced, it is impossible to determine if those results were ever actually valid (rather than the result of error or fraud). 6. falsifiable (i.e., cases must exist in which the theory can be imagined to be invalid). For example saying "Things fall down" will be invalid if we find an object fall up. When a theory is not falsifiable, it is impossible to tell if it is true or not, and thus it won't be possible to correct it via experimentation. & Falsifiable 7. Clearly limited by explicit boundary conditions so that it is clear whether or not particular data are or are not relevant to verification or falsification. Newton's laws of motion is not valid to very big speed. It is a famous example of a law which was found not to hold in experiments involving motion at speeds close to the speed of light or in close proximity to strong gravitational fields. Outside those conditions, Newton's Laws remain an excellent model of motion and gravity. Einstien Mechanic is for cases with high speed.Because general relativity accounts for all of the phenomena that Newton's Laws do and more, general relativity is now regarded as a better theory.Quantum mechanics examines phenomena that seem to defy our most basic postulates about causality and fundamental understanding of the world around us.. Euclidian Geometry valid in small distance where assumed the area is flat. Otherwisw we need spherical geometry. When there aren't any clear boundaries, we'll never know if particular observations count for or against it. 8. Correctable & Dynamic (changes are made as new data is discovered) 9. Progressive i.e. it must be superior to theories which people have offered in the past i.e: i). meet or surpass all of the criteria set by its predecessors or demonstrate that any abandoned criteria are artifactual ii) be able to explain all of the data gathered under previous relevant theories in terms either of fact or artifact (no anomalies allowed) iii) be consistent with all preexisting ancillary theories that already have established scientific validity For example: Eistein Mechanics is the Newton mechanics when spead is low. 10. Tentative (admits that it might not be correct rather than asserting certainty) . Notice that: i) Lacking one or two might not mean that a theory isn't scientific, but only if there are very, very good reasons; lacking most or all, however, will certainly disqualify an idea from being genuinely scientific. ii) The fact that a theory passed an empirical test does not prove the theory, however. The greater the number of severe tests a theory has passed, the greater its degree of confirmation and the more reasonable it is to accept it. However, to confirm is not the same as to prove logically or mathematically. No scientific theory can be proved with absolute certainty. iii) True Scientists never claim absolute knowledge. Unlike a mathematical proof, a "proven" scientific theory is always open to falsification if new evidence is presented. Even the most basic and fundamental theories may turn out to be imperfect if new observations are inconsistent with them. Newton's scientific theory of universal gravitation predicts that the force between two masses should be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (otherwise known as the "inverse square law"). In principle, we could take measurements which indicated that the force is actually inversely proportional to the cube of the distance. Such an observation would be inconsistent with the predictions of Newton's universal theory of gravitation, and thus this theory is falsifiable. iv) The validity of a hypothesis does not stand or fall based on just a few confirmations or contradictions, but on the totality of the evidence. Often, data that initially may seem to be inconsistent with a theory will in fact lead to new important predictions. The history of Newtonian physics gives a clear example. The abnormal movement of Uranus was initially considered a potential falsification of Newton's new theory. However, by claiming the existence of an unseen planet, the anomaly was explained within Newton's paradigm. In general, an explanation for anomalous behavior should be considered ad hoc unless it is independently verifiable. Sugesting a new, unseen planet might be considered hedging if there were no independent way to detect if a new planet actually existed. Nevertheless, when technology had advanced enough to reliably test the new prediction, the unseen planet was found to be Neptune. So alternate explanations for inconsistancy should be treated like any other hypotheses i.e. they should be weighed, tested, and either ruled out or confirmed. But a hypothesis should not be considered falsified until thorough testing has produced multiple lines of positive evidence indicating that the hypothesis is truly inconsistent with the empirical data. v) However, even if a theory is very rich and even if it passes many severe tests, it is always possible that it will fail the next test or some other theory will be proposed that explains things even better. Logically speaking, a currently accepted scientific theory could even fail the same tests it has passed many times in the past.

What is science? Science is a METHOD for the acquisition of knowledge about the universe around us (reliable - thought not infallible). The minimum requirements was given in the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, 1981. Judge Overton found that science has four essential features: Scientific Method:The main difference between the scientific method and other procedures for generating knowledge is that science says that YOU HAVE TO PROVE WHAT YOU CLAIM. The scientific method has a set procedure for going about this. It can be summarized in a series of steps: 1) Observation ( A series of observations is made and a phenomenon noted) 2) Form a falsifiable testable hypothesis to explain these observations. Deduce predictions from the hypothesis. These are phrased as statement in the form "if principle P is true, then event E should occur or fact F should be true."It MUST be "falsifiable" (The most crucial). That means a scientific hypothesis must have some feature about it that would allow someone (a careful experimenter or observer) to prove the hypothesis false if it is wrong. 3) Testing of the hypothesis (We must design an experiment or define a set of observations that we will take as proof that our theory is wrong. ) 4) Adoption of the hypothesis or back to (2) if it fails the test(in which we admit that there is no evidence that our theory is correct. We must notice: i) These activities apply mostly to experimental sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry,...). But for Mathematics, the scientific methods involve logic, e.g., drawing inferences or deductions from hypotheses. ii) Each element of scientific method is subject to peer review for possible mistakes. showing work to others increases the probability that weaknesses will be identified, and with advice and encouragement, fixed. iii)Scientific method is iterative and recursive bcause scientists are constantly making new observations and testing via those observations, the four "steps" are actually practiced concurrently. New observations, although they were not predicted, should be explicable retrospectively by the hypothesis. New information, especially details of some process previously not understood, can impose new limits on the original hypothesis. Therefore, new information, in combination with an old hypothesis, frequently leads to new predictions that can be tested further. iv) Scientific method does not aim to give an ultimate answer. Its iterative and recursive nature implies that it will never come to an end, so any answer it gives is provisional. Hence it cannot prove or verify anything in a strong sense. However, if a theory passed many experimental tests without being disproved, it is usually considered superior to any theory that has not yet been put to a test. v) Scientific methods are impersonal. Any other scientist should be able to duplicate other scientist's work. When a person claims to measure or observe something by some purely subjective method, which others cannot duplicate, that person is not doing science. When scientists cannot duplicate the work of another scientist that is a clear sign that the scientist has erred either in design, methodology, observation, calculation, or calibration. vi) If the predictions are not accessible by observation or experience, the hypothesis is not yet useful for the method, and must wait for others who might come afterward, and perhaps rekindle its line of reasoning. vii) The "falsifiablity of a scientific hypothesis is important". Falsifiable does not mean false. For a proposition to be falsifiable, it must be at least in principle possible to make an observation that would show the proposition to be false, even if that observation had not been made. For example, the proposition "All swans are white" would be falsified by observing one non-white swan. The following is quoted from : " http://www.synapses.co.uk/evolve/lec1b.html Notice from BH: Too many paraphrases.

1. Of course you have to read bible in person. Churches encourage that. 2. You have to pray alone home direct without a priest. Churches teaches you that. 3. But we need Priests in Church and for sacrements especially babtist, confirmation (one time in life) , confession and communion.. Also you need them for mariage if you decide to be married (better than the registerar). The church need someone to be demenstrate their day by day activity. . For non self learners need some one to explain faith matter (this can be any and not necessary the priest). I don't feel Priest intervene in my relation with God. 4. The Catholics says that "We pray with saints, not to them." or "we ask saints to pray for us in times of trouble" We bow for them as respect and not to worship . Then why we condemn them. It is not christian character to condemn others. . Does a Protestant who judges the praying with saints, bear false witness against the prayer. 5. This remind me with the situation in which muslems insist that we have three Gods. I told my muslem friends , you are think wrongly. If in our geed we say "We believe in one God" so it is wrong to insist that we believe in three and you have to stop and say "there is something we don't understand or imigine. How Christians believe in one God but in trinity form.? So I reply as "sun" has the body, the heat and the light. We say that "earth go around sun", "I can't sit in the sun's heat", and "in daytime, we enjoy sun's light. 6. In fact, Scriptures are quite clear that the saints are not dead [life after death]. Read what Jesus said on the cross to? the right malefactors? that h'll be in paradise with him TODAY: also in replying to question from the Sadducees: ?7. By the way, I am personally is not bowing and rarely asking their intresection. But I don't condemn others who do . Also I confess that I asked few times the intersection of St Mary as well as my late mother too..

1. I am Coptic Orthodox not Roman Catholic. We have not statues in our Churches but we have pictures. We also ask intercession of saints especiall St Mary. 2. Even I am noy Catholic but the truth is they are not worship St Mary . 3. When you ask intercession of saints you do as when ask somebody else to pray for you or when askink people to pray for someone in intensive care in hospital. 4. When you bow before picture, you show the respect. It is exactly as you bow for King or Queen or bishop or parents in olden days. 5. Dislike Protestant , St Mary has her position in Othodox Churches as the mother of God and Catholic give her more status. She who was suffering the accusation during her pregnancyfrom her relative and her city. She who saw her son crocified then assended from the earth i.e misseed him. How we consider her as anybody else. Do we reward the soldiers for their activities and sacrifies? 6. But I assure you that no Christian in any section worship other God in trinity. 7. We respect and honour saints. We regularly give it to public officials. In the United States, australia and Eurpean countrireies, it is customary to address a judge as "Your Honor." In Australia , member of parlament are addressed to "The Honorable member ...." . God commanded us to honour our parents. Many examples in new or old testament to honour old peoples, bishops, priests, rulers,... etc. So, if there can be nothing wrong with honoring the living, who still have an opportunity to ruin their lives through sin, there certainly can be no argument against giving honor to saints whose lives are done and who ended them in sanctity. If people should be honored in general, God?s special friends certainly should be honored. 8. By the way for many centuries, the term worship simply meant showing respect or honor, and an example of this usage survives in contemporary English. British, Australian and may others refer to their magistrates as "Your Worship,". An attempt to distinguish between the honor due to God and that due to humans is to use the words adore. Thus, Catholics sometimes say, "We adore God but we honor his saints" 9. May be some public naive people don't understand these explanations. In my opinion, it was better that these practices to be stoped in public to stop this unnecessary discussions.

1. The opposite, I read and investigate every words you or other write so I could reply to every point. You who owe answesr for many questions in this Forum and the other Forum. 2. It is not enough to say about your training historian husband laugh about my arguments, inconsistencies and errors. You have to point and to tell us what his objection and laughing points that I can either be convinced of my mistakes or replied then he may correct himself. Otherwise you have to not mention him. It will be considered spam to tell something not relevant or falsiable. By the way studying history for few hours for 3-4 years or even getting PH.D in history in narrow point does not mean he knows better than any person studied history in school then abreast himself everyday for every event in the world through books, newspaper, magazine, TV and radios. History is for all. I proud to tell you even I am scientist the history of most of African, Asian countries, their struggles for independence, the old names of these countries. This beside US, European, Australian Histories. Plus every General securities of UN and the majors resolution of UN and the weakness of some words that could be interpreted different and happened as I thought then. 3. Where your refering to "to all aspects of their lives" . Only what you said on 20 January: You left us to guess to whom you refer and why you said that. So I analysised what Jesus or his disciples denied for women. I didn't find any except priesthood [including discipleship]. So I gave my explanation to that and explained that is not mean inequalities. See the equalty principal in the following their sayings: 4. I know exactly what you mean by sexist and I don't need a dictionary definition. If you read my reply and my examples you will realize that it was as the dictionary definition. Why you said bees is not human but in the same time replied on Lion ease hunting and didn't say that she is not human either. My example to show you that the in nature [not religion] there are distinction but not mean female has second degree. This is the maximum of respect. As I respect my mothers and sisters. In human I gave example that teacher, doctor and nurses are more female than male. In Russia, the medicine institutes has 90% females. Males doesn't complain [in general because there is exception]. You call them "narrow minded" "sexist" even you said that the knowledge theen was tiny comparing what we have now. 5. Your "sexist" definition as defined in Wikipedia definitions (the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit i.e changable by visitors) is not aplicalable to them. The knowledge we have now (thank God I have got a lot of them.) was not necessary to them to write the bible. There is history, laws and rules . True Loves, honesty, chastity, purity, scincere marriage don't need computers and its software, Statistical methods, Gravity, Electromagnetism, Relativity theories, Thermodynamics laws, Atomic theory, Genetics, DNA even they are approved.. Morever the debated non approved hypothesis of Darwin or Big bang are not necessary.at all to them to know..The bible is not science book. 6- You can not unified all people by force in one group as you think. Every group that believe in the same ideas and belief is classified as re legion or churches or sect or cult. Christianity divided to Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Protestants have many hundreds groups and everyday a new group or church be established. Orthodox divided to Greek, Coptic, Russian, Armenian, Assyrian,.. etc. etc. Moslem's divided to Shiite, Sunni, Wahhabi,...Judaism have orthodox and others. [i hope your historian husband agree and will not laugh]. If you decide to not belong to any that is your right and nobody enforce you. So respect the others choice and don't think you are the best thinker. 7. Your story of dying show you didn't die truely so your surprise that you didn't go to Hell IS INVALID. 8. I hope you don't response to these because I wish it is my final reply to yours in this forum. I owe reply in another forum. Even though you didn't answered my questions there.God forgive you for your many insults [i read every word]. Thank God for my patience with you . You speak about intelligence even there is very big gap between me and you. I am who put myself in this place so as Chhristian I say "God forgive you" [ visit my post] 9. Usually I don't use scripture in my postings but I do now to see what these [narrow minded sixist in your mind] people wrote about the "LOVE" which is your motto as you said : [using King James version: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ]

1. Before I start, I say that I am Coptic Orthodox Christian and not Roman Catholic. 2.In every religion, there are initial basic faith. That why it is called faith. you have to believe it or not. but there are many in re legions is not basic faith and you apply your mind and not be blind eyed. All Christian are believing in these elements. 3. In Christianity, the core elements is believing in Salvation, Trinity, bible. In Islam you believe in one God "Alaha" and Mohamed is his messenger then believe in Koran book is from Alah. 4. It is not right to say that you need a priest to communicate with God (Alah). People before Abraham and after him are communicating with God until our days. There are many recent communication stories of communicating with God or St Mary or other saints. Churches is not opposing that or controlling that. Only churches investigate the claim if it was gone public and they have right to do that. 5. The priest is needed for other service other than the communication with God. It is similar to that you need Parliament, government to practice your rights and your freedom. 6. Many call to not faith blinded but in the same time they was lead with one film here or one book there and in our Internet time one site . It is very contradiction thing or Hippocratic. 7. There are many stories in Egyptian monasteries about God communication. Of course you will jump to say what prove that? You can not say that while some believe in one book here or one film there. In next paragraph will tell you my experience when I saw St Mary by myself personally 8. SisterMay concluded wrongly "Our Lady would not have appeared to 3 innocent children and then frighten them with stories and visions of hell". But what if I tell that I saw St Mary in 1968 when I was 25 years old after four year from my graduation of Faculty of Science. The witnesses were millions with the media. I saw her when St Marry was appeared for many days around the top of St marry Church at Zeitoun of Cairo in Egypt and millions saw that [including Muslims]. I couldn't stand in one place from people pressure. I had to move with the crowd with the flow through the four perpenduclar steet around the Church. The Vatican has sent their delegation to investegat and confirmed that [this church is not Catholic Church]. All skeptics , unbelievers, non-christian, non-orthodox exhusted all their investgations to explain the mattert. So please don't jump to quick explanation and find simple explanation sitting in your place. Even the Egyptian Islamic government recognized that and gifted the opposite land [was government bus depot] to build another bigger church. It was the easiest church built in Egypt without the hard condition to build a church.

Sorry, Shengeta, could you please read your message and put yourself in our place. I can not be sure what you mean by : Then you said :" Why you decide that? . Most of the respondant denied that and I too especially in the recent time. My site is choosen by many as their home page and they didn't complain to me. Sometimes in past I asked them when I couldn' access to mine , I found that they were ok with it. Then I interpreted that to my firewall and security levels until I settled the matter. I think your problem is in the security level of your browser. Try to put yor site in trusted sites in your browswe.

More than 80 years after the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun another tomb has been found, just four metres away from Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The discovery was the work of a team of American archaeologists from the University of Memphis. The tomb contains five mummies in intact sarcophagi with coloured funerary masks, along with more than 20 large storage jars sealed with pharaonic seals. Details of the finding are expected to be announced officially by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities today and the identintity of occupiers. While this is good for culture, but I am questiong disturbing our ancestors during their waitting for reseruction. Through a partially opened underground door, Egyptian authorities allowed journalists to give a peek today into the tomb, located at the bottom of a 30-foot shaft. Here is one of the woden mask of one of mummies. click here for details and slide_show more sources: http://www.elitestv.com/pub/2006/Feb/EEN43ed035f9e0af.htm http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

1. Don't worry about your age or size. I was the youngest and the smallest in all my classes. 2. Be patients and look for long . 3. Be successful in your study. Be succeful in some sports which don't depend on team as running or jump or playing chess. Be skilful in a particular field as computer. Let teachers praise you. Solve the problems so others will look at you. Let others ask your help.

You do your report in 30 days. Divide your effort on 30 days and you find it is tiny comparing what we did. I advised that person who want to stay home to play video games. At the end it is your knowledge and your future. Do as you like and choose your future "to be" or not "to be". Complaing will not help. It will not reduce your liability but put pressure on your spirit and health. Accept the reality and enjoy the golden times that is school time.

I don't agree with you. The computers for most of peoples is not a job but facility. If people realise how was looking for research or book in the past. How was to draw a curve or dind information from a table before "Lotus", Excell or sql. How we were communicated by snail mail. Most of us here is not for get income but using our spare time for another purposes. So you can be moderate but not diverce the matter completely. By the way I read for you some posts for St_Michael after initiating the one here. I think that he changed his mind. Also from start when I see "st_michael" name , I hads a question for him. Michael is the name of arch angel. but saint is salute for human who was saint.
