  • Why are some people so closed to premonitions and telepathy?

    These psychic phenomena have existed since the beginning of time..millions of people can't be imagining or lying about it. I have witnesses to my premonitions.. I would tell people beforehand that something was going to happen and it would... things like car accidents, and even a death of a guy at work and a pet dog. Can't all be coincidences since I have this happen frequently. I told people at work that there was going to be a huge earthquake in Japan that would be worse than Haiti within a month and it happened. I had a terrible feeling at 7:00am one day that there had been a horrific car crash in Phoenix and when I got to work it was on the news...what's with that if not premonition? How else can you explain it?

  • New take on riots in the Middle East?

    Is it lack of infrastructure and thus lack of jobs that causes the riots in the Middle East or is it really just the religious angle? In other words, there are thousands of young, virile men with nothing to do so when someone says "let's go knock down an embassy" they do it. I'm sure the religious zealotry has a lot to do with it also, but if you're busy working, you are less likely to be so insensed by one guy's video. Also 911.. some of the riots were already planned as a sort of celebration for that. When I was in Egypt there were a lot of people wandering around who didn't seem to be working.. and with our present unemployment there is more crime in the U.S. too. I.E... Idle Hands are the Devil's Workshop... ????

  • I had the following true "ghostly" experience.?

    I've had premonitions and telepathy all my life. Once I was renting a friend's house while he was out of the country. One night I was meditating on the living room floor and suddenly felt this reassuring hand on my right shoulder... I could feel the warmth and long, bony fingers clasping my shoulder to reassure me. It felt like the hand of some kindly soul from the spirit world.. I was startled and turned around slowly, but no one was there. A few days later my landlord called and I told him I had a weird experience while meditating. Before I could say anything he said "Was it kind of a reassuring hand on your right shoulder with long, bony fingers?" I freaked out! He had experienced it while meditating in his house also! We were stunned... so there IS definitely an afterlife of some kind... some spirit was contacting me. What do you think? It must have been the presence of someone...

  • Bible Students: I have 2 serious questions (not being snide)?

    1) Where did Cain and Abel (Adam and Eve's children) get their wives? Obviously there were other people around. 2) If God created Humans as special creation and we're not animals... then how come Neanderthals and Desovans are extinct? There are our cousins and bred with us per genetics Why would God create them special and then kill them off? Thanks.

  • Why do schools still require advanced math to graduate? It should be an elective. No one uses it.?

    Unless you're a rocket scientist, advanced math (i.e. higher level algebra, calculus, trig etc.) are never used in real life. Why do we require it for high school graduation? A study was done (forget where) and a huge percentage of high school dropouts said they dropped out because they could not do math. It ruined their lives as it is hard to get a good job with no high school diploma. Why can't higher level math be an elective for those who might be engineers etc.?

  • Why do Christians rarely read the entire bible? I haven't met one yet who has but they believe in it.?

    I like to discuss theology but I can't find any Christians who have read the entire bible, but they believe in it 100% and spout bible verses. How can they believe in something they have never read? When I bring this up it stops the conversation. They only believe the preacher....

  • I have been studying "chimeras" which explain multiple personalites, homosexuality etc. Any comments?

    A Chimera Twin is an unresolved twin. When a mother ovulates, two eggs are dropped and two sperm inseminate them. Then the eggs accidentally recombine, sort of like if you try to fry two eggs but the yolks run together and you end up wih one big egg. The end result is a seemingly normal human baby with two separate sets of DNA (Genetics) in him or her. This could be why some people have mutliple personalities, gender identity issues, homosexuality and transgender... AND auto immune diseases, eyes of different colors etc. It explains a LOT. Look it up in Yahoo search engine by typing "Chimera Twins."
