Why Men are viewed as success objects and women as sex objects? This is something that takes a few courses in sociology, anthropology, and women's studies to get a grasp on as it's deep-rooted in our culture. Generally speaking though, because that's what society tells us. It's not rooted in nature or biology as there are other cultures where these sorts of views of men and women do not exist.

Why do athesists have such a strong desire to convert others? How does one "convert" someone to the non-belief in the supernatural? Most people become atheists because they learn how to think logically and utilize reason, then apply it to themselves and their own beliefs. If they follow that line of logical thinking long enough, they usually end up an atheist or agnostic.

How do scientists estimate the age of the earth? Please write it on your own words not copy paste... They find rocks with crystals that contain radioactive isotopes. They then measure the ratio of that isotope to it's daughter in the crystal(s). They compare the average ratio of parent-daughter against the isotope's half-life. From that, they can deduce the age of that rock. We have found zircon in rocks that dates to 4.33 billion years. So, the Earth has to be at least that old to have...

Thailand's coast disappears as sea level rises. How did the conspirators behind the Global Warming 'hoax' trick the ocean into doing this? Sea level rises are not uniform globally.

There are also many factors involved with sea level rise, such as uplift/sinking, erosion, gravitational attraction, etc. Sea level on average has been rising, but only slightly, and it's not linked to what AGWers claim it is.

There are things that can technically travel faster then the speed of light, such as the movement of a shadow across a distant body. But, these phenomena are useless as you cannot exchange information through them.

If it's something insignificant, I might ignore it unless it becomes a pattern.

You are adding thermal energy and removing volume, meaning it's not a closed sample or experiment at all. ...

First figure out the reaction. 2NaOH + H2NO4 => Na2SO4 + 2H2O So 2:1 ratio of NaOH to H2NO4 convert mL to L on NaOH solution, and multiply it by it's molarity to find the mols of NaOH. Molarity is essentially the ratio of solvent to solute btw, which makes this calculation possible. 26.44mL * .001 = .02644L .02644L * .1650M = .0043626 mol NaOH So...

At least we can make a reasonable assumption that there...

Answer to:
What do you think jesus would say to people who use the bible as a weapon against homosexuals? Early Christianity's view on the nuclear family is quite clear. As they believed the world was going to end soon, there was no point engaging in worldly norms such as being part of a biological family. In fact, sex itself is seen as an act that was enabled by wicked angels. So the very act of having sex was considered counter to their rejection of all things of the flesh and of this world....

Answer to:
Was Jesus Christ just a power hungry leader who thrived on public speaking? Was his being crucified a direct result of these behavioral flaws? Don't talk archaic scripture, try modern day reasoning.

Either Christianity itself was a result of what would be deemed "Gnostic" ideas infiltrating the Jewish cult of...

Will there ever be a way to make humans live forever? Living forever just turns life into conscious death. What gives life value is the fact that it is finite. You live a certain amount of time, and then you die. With that said, it doesn't really matter.

Answer to:
Do you think there will ever be a time in the future when all the continents reconnect and become one? Before answering the question, a quick preface. One large factor that is not completely understood yet is if continental plates just keep drifting about on their trajectory once free of a supercontinent, or if they slow and then change direction back in towards each other. Most Geophysicists would say yes. The continents will eventually collide in 150-250 million years to form what has...

Answer to:
When two continental plates smash together, what do they produce? It is called a Convergent Boundary. Usually, one plate will subduct under the other and Orogeny (mountain building) will result on the top plate. However, it is very difficult for continental crust to be subducted so this is not always the case. Sometimes, there is a collision and parts of one plate slide over the other with little to no subduction, making the crust thicker. This type of event...

Is it true that Cubic Zirconia is indistinguishable from a real diamond? No. A hardness test will reveal a diamond from a Cubic Zirconium. Diamonds are a 10, while CZ's are an 8.

How much would a Dell Dimension XPSt CPU be worth? The theoretical lifespan of most computers is 10 years. Meaning that at 10 years, there is a 99.999...% chance of the hardware failing.

Of course the EFFECTIVE lifespan of a computer, and this is pretty universal for end-user machines and mainframes, is 5 years. Meaning that it will be able to run...

Unfortunately it's also the most overlooked and usually has the least money put into it of all...

Assuming Richard Dawkins is an intelligent man why is he hellbent on defaming God by way of an Atheist Bus Campaign?

I just thought that up right now. I knew there was something foolish...

I have asked for testable evidence for god. To be fair, I'll present excellent evidence for evolution. Humans has 23 pairs, chimps and gorillas have 24 pairs. It's very close to proof we have a common ancestor. Your thoughts? The bible itself offers a test for proving the existence of god. Kings 1, chapter 18. God gives Elijah a test for Ahab's god, baal, to determine if it is real or not. This is pretty much the nail in the coffin to biblical literalists. It's a test within the bible to prove the existence of god. So do the test, what happens? I bet you nothing.

How do i clam my cockatiel and keep him from bitting If he is with other birds, separate him in his own cage. Keep him in an area you frequent so he is used to people being around. Two times a day, open his cage and hold a pencil into it for 15 minutes. Do this for about a week, then start putting your hand in with your finger pointing out. This should get him used to your hands. Do NOT force him to do anything or poke him, you want to let him...

I have rescued a black bird baby we have had for about two weeks but last night a fox attempted to get him whuich resulted in the blackbird losing a leg will he survive and could i still relise him if he survives or should i get him put down%3 With one leg, he'd be at a severe disadvantage in the wild. But, birds can live with one leg. I have a very sweet pet cockatiel that is now nearing 8 years old who had an accident and lost use of her leg at a young age. Considering you got him young and not already accustomed to the wild, you could keep him as a domestic pet bird. My honest opinion is that to put him down when you could...

Since water vapor is the most common Greenhouse gas, Why is it that everyone gones on about Carbon emissions? Because people are under the impression that the CO2 humans are putting into the air will cause a kind of positive feedback loop that will result in more water vapor and a rapid and uncontrolable increase in surface temps on the Earth. Climate models based on this assumption have not been mirrored in observation. In fact it seems that there are other factors within the atmosphere that create...

From this, one can explain natural phenomena and potentially support or invalidate a theory, which is a high...

While it is true that General Relativity tells us that objects cannot move faster than c relative to spacetime itself, this does not mean that mass cannot "ride" on expanding spacetime, potentially travelling faster than the speed of light away from another mass at a sufficient distance. This is possible because the universe is itself expanding. Draw some dots with a marker on a...

A client reports her child has been dressed as the opposite sex since age one. Is this abuse? The child, now 3 1/2 currently prefers the situation and protests when made to wear male clothing to daycare. No. Transsexuals, myself included, identify with the opposite gender from birth. It is not child abuse, and gender is set in the brain prior to birth (http://www.iiav.nl/ezines/web/IJT/97-03/numbers/symposion/ijtc0106.htm) not during early childhood. It's a misconception that children, even young ones, don't understand gender. On the contrary, they know exactly what gender they are....

Which stands best for you - faith in reason or faith in religion? This is a trick question. Faith is the irrational belief in something despite a lack of or contradicting evidence.

If you don't have the money for a new one, try craigslist, you can get some good deals there. I suggest you go for a rear projection or plasma HDTV as the good old 4:3 CRTs(big boxy ones) will be useless in a year or so when most programming switches to HD.

You are aware that your spouse has AIDS. Would you kiss him/her? It's actually very difficult to spread AIDS, you need some good blood to blood/semen contact to get it(which is why it's very easy to get it from anal sex). So why not. And if you are the person's spouse, I'm pretty sure you would have it as well.

The idea of there not being a concrete goal to reach with our finite lives is rather confusing to us, so we...

Let's face it, those movies where people meet in a bar or at a bookstore or coffee shop and fall in love are bullshit. Girls go to the bar/club to get drunk/dance, guys go to get laid. You go to a bookstore to read, and anyone...

Answer to:
Are people really too lazy to type whole words, or do they think its cool to type things like "U R 2 Kool!" or substitute letters with numbers as in 1337 for LEET? Also, do you find that people who type well with few mistakes come off as more intelligent? OK, Leet speak is something that has been used on the internet for a long time, probably longer then you have been on it. I don't have a problem with people using it to a certain extent, but there are people that let it get out of control. Mistyping/misspelling however, like typing "wat" instead of "what", or "there" instead of "their" is what...

What do you feel is the best laptop computer? Toshiba USED to make a good product, not so much anymore. This is not true anymore. Stay away from HP or Compaq now as well. Sony make a good laptop, although a bit pricey. Macs are very very nice as well, and despite what you think, with bootstrapper will run all of your windows apps(even games). Consumer-end dells are junk, but their business and corporate products (latitude series) are top...

Answer to:
If someone has your IP address can they discover your street address? Assuming you mean an average user with a dynamic IP from cable or DSL, directly, no. There is no magic way to find someone by their IP address. You can do a trace route and it will lead back to the DHCP server that gave them said address which may/may not be in their general vicinity. But to get any further data then that you have to ask the ISP about it. The ISP keeps logs of which users (MAC...

Answer to:
When was the last time you made a back up of all the important data in your computer? You should do a full backup once, and then an incremental every day or week, or whenever you update important data. Cobian Backup 8 is a good piece of open source software that makes it easy to back anything up to a folder, external hard drive, even to an FTP server. It supports incremental, differential, and other backup types as well.

What is a great internet website which few may know about? I find the more people find out about good/great websites, the crappier they become. This is especially true for humor/community/forum sites.

Answer to:
Is it possible to have equal human rights for all within a theocracy? Why or why not? Has it ever happened? In Theory yes you could have a Theocracy that is concerned about human rights... As long as that is what the religion of said Theocracy teaches. Unfortunately in reality, religion DE-humanizes people and makes it ok to commit terrible acts and atrocities in the name of the faith. This is one of many problems I have with religion, it teaches people that nothing is more important then their...

Do you think that people are prejudiced against atheists? I am an atheist, and I have a problem with juvenile, baseless, and idiotic beliefs in things like god and the afterlife. But I live in the USA, a country that has the 1st amendment that says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people...

Answer to:
Christians, if 'the power of prayer' works, yet when I was 12 and really need help and prayed, was not answered, how would you explain this? Prayer doesn't work, that's why. Speaking to an imaginary being or force in your mind does not make you better. 95% of people diagnosed with lung cancer die within 2 years. 20 people are diagnosed, they all pray, 19 die, the last person thinks that prayer saved them. Did the other 19 not pray hard enough? Did they not deserve to live? These are the kind of dilemmas you will get...

Answer to:
What do you believe, but cannot prove? What you believe doesn't matter without tangible proof or evidence to believe so. Beliefs are a dime a dozen. If I want to believe there is a golden unicorn that I must worship on Saturdays with a bread sacrifice to it, that doesn't make it true or valid. Belief without evidence(or blind faith) should be challenged, not encouraged.

Answer to:
At what point in your life did you really form a solid concept of death? After reading in a medical journal the stages of brain death. When they talked about the breakdown of cognitive functions and consciousness. It hit me that mass of cells is where all of our emotions, perceptions, feeling, memories and personal identity was stored. When these cells die, you die. Further evidence of this to me was people that had suffered brain damage. They had suffered so...

Answer to:
My grandmother is on life support ,unfortunately pulling the plug was put on my head should i pull the plug? Is she in a comatose state? If so she is already dead, the person you knew that is. Without cognitive functions we are basically just animated meat with no Consciousness, or hope of coming back. The reality of life can be painful and seem not fair, but it's the way it is. The best thing you can do is pull the plug, remember her, and move on.

Answer to:
Ever talked to someone who has experienced flatlining and lived to tell about it? Penn and Teller just did a "Bullshit!" show on NDEs(Near Death Experiences), pretty much debunking them as any kind of proof of an afterlife. It turns out that pilots in training when undergoing high G-Force training have the same kind of experiences when they black out from the blood leaving their brain. Vivid images of a long tunnel and feeling like they are looking at themselves...

Answer to:
What happens after you take your last breath? You die. Remember what it was like before you were born? Of course not, you did not exist. Once your consciousness seizes to function, you're as good as gone, and you return to being just another clump of carbon-based biomass that will eventually be decomposed. Even farther down the line, any fossilized remains will be swallowed up by the sun as it swells into a red giant in about another...
