To even ask the question is to entirely miss the point.
Evolution isn't something you "believe in"; it's something you UNDERSTAND and ACCEPT -- one of the many benefits of having EVIDENCE in support of one's claims is that it continues to be true whether or not you believe in it.

Answer to:
Terminators can travel through time because they're surrounded by living tissue. How is the liquid metal T-1000 able to do it?

Better question is: if they can grow living tissue around a metal skeleton like that, why not just send back a few skin-covered hydrogen bombs to make SURE you take the little brat out?

When Satan is destroyed, will humans quit sinning? Why would they quit? Is Satan the cause of sin? Or is it because we enjoy sinning?
1.) Satan is just pretend.
2.) So is the entire concept of "sin" -- it presupposes, without a shred of supporting evidence, that there even is a god or gods who can get their knickers in a twist over what you do with your penis of whether you have shrimp cocktails with dinner.

What's it called when an organism (animal, plant) adapts to a new environment within it's own lifetime?

Why do you religionists beat up on Atheists??? You SAY we beat up on you, but we don't. REAL atheists don't care what you believe?
True -- atheist don't care how the religious folks BELIEVE, we care about how they act.
Unfortunately, they BELIEVE that they have a mandate to convert, kill, or subjugate everyone who disagrees with them, which is the source of most of the conflict.

Based on our current understanding of physics, time travel IS theoretically possible; but it would be:

(2) require mind-boggling amounts of power; and
(3) you could never go any farther back in time than the first time you turned the machine on.

That's called "animal husbandry" -- and human beings do it all the time with what we call "domesticated animals".

Although we share 98.4% of our genes with chimps, we still look so different from the outside. Do same genes somehow work differently?
No -- the genes work the same, since all genes really are is a recipe for building proteins. But how and when those genes are activated varies between species, which is why the containers for those genes get expressed in different ways and form various species.

Why do Christians feel the need to convince everyone that they are right? Are we not all entitled to our own opinions? Is their opinion better than anyone else's opinion?
The short answer is: because the Abrahamic faiths are religions of conquest -- Judaism is chock full of stories of God commanding or condoning the genocide of anyone who stood in the path of his Chosen People; and both Christianity and Islam grant their followers a divine right to convert the entire world, by swordpoint if necessary.

If you worked at a video rental store, let’s say someone asked where “The Notebook” was. You decide to play around and say that it’s under “Comedy.” He believes you. At that point, what do you think of him?
"Try this -- it's kind of a big-titty, spread-cheeky kind of a thing..."

Answer to:
Do you think 32inch tvs are worth the money or abit of a ripoff?
Depends on the size of the room they're going in, and whether you're talking flat-screen or CRT.
Frankly, I find the tube TV's too much hassle in terms of the space they take up and what a bitch they are to move around (I used to be a TV salesman in Anchorage, AK)...
I don't watch television, but I do enjoy watching movies on DVD, so investing in a 42" plasma TV...

Answer to:
Does the movie "Sleepy Hollow" badly distort the original story of Ichabod Crane,for he was a schoolteacher and not a police constable, as depicted in the (1999)movie version?
Think of it as a "re-imagining" of the story, rather than a faithful adaptation.
It's actually kind of fun in its own right...

Answer to:
For Christians: if somebody was about to kill themselves and you kill them instead to save their soul (suicide being against Christian law) - would you be saved because you sacrificed your soul to save another or would you be damned for killing somebody?
According to Christian dogma, as long as you ask for forgiveness before you yourself die, you still get to go to Heaven.
So say hello to Jeffrey Dahmer and Timothy McVeigh when you get there...

Why are most Bibles printed on that really thin, fragile paper?

I am a Christian, but I rarely go to church. My friend claims I'm not a Christian because I do not attend church and show respect to God. Is this a true accusation? If so, what would I be if I'm not a Christian?
Ever heard of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy?
Your friend is using it.
Anybody who identifies himself as a Christian, is a Christian.

How do you feel about the new hate crimes bill that makes it unlawful for a preacher to condemn homosexuality?
It's a Bad Idea to try to legislate what people are allowed to THINK.
I may personally think that people who condemn homosexuality are narrow-minded assholes; but being bigoted is not the immediate threat that, say, shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater would represent.

Is Ryan Reynolds the right choice or the "worst choice ever" to play the Green Lantern?
I'm willing to reserve judgment until we start seeing some footage -- I would have said he comes across as too smart-alecky for the more stoic Hal Jordan, but maybe it's just because I've only seen Reynolds in "Wolverine" and "Blade: Trinity"...

If you have seen Terminator Salvation, does Arnie make a cameo in a flashback? (no major details please)
Not a flashback -- they recreated Young Arnie using CGI made from scans of the body molds they cast for the animatronic puppets of "Terminator 2". It's a bit longer than just a cameo appearance, but he's not a central character.

Don't count on it -- if anything, they'll wait 5-10 years or so, and then try a re-boot of the franchise. Tim Story (the director) just completely failed to grasp what made the characters tick.

Why does the editing part of movies take so long?
Because just about every single shot in a movie has multiple takes -- the editors have to watch every single one of them, decide which is the best for telling the kind of story they want to tell, string them all together, watch the entire scene, trim a bit here, rearrange the order there, and so on. It's like having to watch the same movie over and over 100 times before you're...

No, I don't -- "Klaatu" is the alien pilot's NAME.
It's probably closer to "Klaatu sent me" or something like that.

"The Quick and the Dead" is pretty good, if you like a slightly goofy, slapstick-y Western.
