rest

My understanding is that most creationists will claim that we are Yahweh's special creation, we are the only intelligent life in the universe, etc. (If you don't believe this, then you can ignore this thread as it doesn't apply to you.) If this is the case, then why would Yahweh have created...

If the Genesis creation account is not supposed to be taken literally, and "day" may mean "thousands of years", then what does God mean when he tells us to rest on the seventh day, as he did? Are we supposed to rest for one thousand years every seven thousand? Edit: Thousand should probably be...

Bush's words regarding Osama Bin Laden? Nope! U.S. Army General Ricard Sanchez regarding Moqtada al-Sadr. Sanchez also said that we would not rest until his militia was completely destroyed. Reality? Hardly so. Moqtada al-Sadr is stronger than ever. The expedient murder warrant against him...

I believe firmly that most of the reason life is so terrible in many middle-eastern countries is the fault of their own culture, government, and religious views. Here's what I think they need to do to improve their place in life. These are numbered simply for means of discussion. No order of...

In Honor of John Lennon's Birthday (this day of October 9, 2004) Imagine an always and in all ways good and immutable God that is always and in all ways Good to itself. And imagine that always and in all ways good God as being mute as well as immutable. And thus, never ever talking to us...

That's how I understand the concept of "rest": when you have had surgery, it's obvious that a certain organ or body part needs time to heal, and you can't apply force to it. But what about "rest" in relation to virus infections? If I have a flu - aside from feeling tired - why do I need to...

Humans have to sleep, but why do we get this fatigue, after certain amount of physical and/or mental strain? If we have heavy emotional stress, how can it take so much energy - or is it just an impression of such energy loss, maybe even illusion?
