PH214 Lori T. commented on brichie71 Student PHI-214's blog post Religion and Human Origin (PHI-214)"That is most definitely a quandry you are in. You're stuck between what the mind thinks it should know versus what seems hard to wrap your mind around. I understand that. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that we were evolved from…"

That would be nirvana for sure. If only there were a chance that we could reach such enlightenment. That's what the Kingdom of Heaven will be like - ? Life is sacred, but not everyone agrees.
There are so many variables to abortion…"
PH214 Lori T. commented on Chandra Fudge's blog post Religion and Human Origins Final Thoughts....."Chandra,
I have really enjoyed our conversations. At the outset, it seemed as we were so far apart in our values and beliefs; but come to find out, we agree on a lot of things. It's amazing what we learned from each other. I understand where…"

Abortion and the question of when a fetus is considered to be alive are two very hot topics. As I said in another post, I believe abortion is inevitable. It will always be around whether we, as humans, like it. I tend to agree with the Liberals to a point. They believe that abortion is OK if the fetus is going to live a life that is "frustrated" (i.e., grave deformity that would be life deprived, painful, frustrating for both child and parent). (Stewart p. 309). Of course, frustrated is a term…See More

What makes you believe the science aspect? They have come back so many times saying they were wrong with their first "theory" on many things. For example, dinosaurs. They used to claim they knew their movements and their eating…"
PH214 Lori T. commented on Chandra Fudge's blog post Religion and Human Origins Part 3"Jeff,
I definitely think that abstinence should be taught right along with safe sex. It puts the thought into their head. But, I think it's important to be realistic. I tell my son that abstinence is the best bet. But, I know what it's…"
PH214 Lori T. commented on Chandra Fudge's blog post Religion and Human Origins Part 3"Chandra,
I did a report on teaching abstinence v. safe sex. You're right - abstinence only programs don't work. It's proven. It should be a priority to teach the kids how to be responsible if they are going to be sexually active. It…"
PH214 Lori T. commented on Chandra Fudge's blog post Religion and Human Origins Part 3"Chandra,
I absolutely agree with you. The part about using abortion as a means of birth control was the first thing that came to my mind reading this blog. If that's the case, then quit having sex if you're not ready to deal with the…"
PH214 Lori T. replied to ima athiest's discussion Still don't understand death"Ima,
The "passage" you chose sounds very close to what Tolstoy went through. He was wondering if there was meaning to life and fought between suicide and living. He chose to live because, he decided that there is a God. Tolstoy said…"
doug commented on PH214 Lori T.'s blog post Conclusion to Big Bang and Other Thoughts"I read about this before...in the newspapers. I concur with Jeff and have the same basic background as far as having grown up Catholic, until my 20's. I think it just comes down to indicating that the pope just doesn't know that much about…"
Jeff H commented on PH214 Lori T.'s blog post Conclusion to Big Bang and Other Thoughts"Actually the position of the Pope as expressed in the Catholic Encyclopedia boils down to the a statement that we don't know the method God used, just that God did it. I worshipped as a Catholic throughout my childhood, moving away from their…"
Molly Goodman commented on PH214 Lori T.'s blog post Conclusion to Big Bang and Other Thoughts"What do you think inspired this idea by the Pope?

PH214 Lori T. posted a blog postConclusion to Big Bang and Other Thoughts
It is obvious that science and Christians will never share the same beliefs. Having said that, the Pope is currently encouraging Christians to believe that evolution and creationism can go hand-in-hand. This is a bitter pill to swallow for true believers in "God created the heavens and the Earth."In my other blog, I brought up the naturalist theory. I touched on the fact that naturalism cannot describe how we process thoughts. As Socrates stated "the naturalist approach to reality has…See More

I always appreciate your answers. You are the Christian I wish I could be. I'm too passionate and misuse that in my arguments! But you keep an even keel. I can feel my blood boiling sometimes and I have to walk away before I get very…"

Big Bang and Other Thoughts
It's a very interesting topic - was the Earth God's creation, or did it just happen out of nothingness? If it happened out of nothingness, what is the point of life here on Earth? If there is no God, what is our purpose? If we have no purpose, then why were so many things created for a purpose (one example - plants create oxygen). If there are aliens in our universe, what is their purpose?
Many have touched on the idea of creationism with evolution. I don't understand this. If we… Read More

Summary of Women in Religion
Well, I'm not sure where we got with this. We all agree that women were seen as mere property and no value was placed upon them in the Old Testament. However, I am aware that Jesus Christ did not feel that way. He washed Mary Magdalen's feet in her deepest hour. I don't think Jesus saw women as mere objects. I think he was magnificent in appreciating all genders. Obviously, men of that time still did not see it that way.
But we have come a long way. I think sometimes we are our own… Read More
