difference

I've been involved in a few discussions lately that have me wondering what the differences between aetheists (meaning those that believe there was or is no God/creator) and the religious (those that believe there was/is) are. No matter your position on the subject, what do you think? I can...

I'm getting awfully tired of blind-CSS'ing websites when it comes to mac. I've gotten a solution for Safari (Knoppix Live Cd with Konqueror (sp?) as I understand Konkueror(sp?) and Safari runs on the same engine) but IE is having me stumped. And I'm getting really, really tired of not knowing if...

I have gone to 'otherhealth.com' forum and tried to debate with homeopaths there, but I get sick of going round and round and round with them being hell-bent on giving the same answer over and over again such as "but the treatment just worked and that's all it matters”. I have argued about their...

I was hoping someone could give me a good quote that could illustrate the difference between a statement and an explanation. As I read creationists websites, I notice that none of what their "science" shows really explains anything. They are simply making statements - that could or could not...

This is from another thread. The jist of it is that Claus and I were talking about how much politeness matters when talking to a someone with paranormal or religious beliefs. Of the things you mention, going on radio and TV is the best way to make a difference. And even then, if you're not...

Can someone tell me the scientific difference betwen living and non-living matter? What exactly has changed during the transition between life and deat? So - say I have a living cell and a dead cell. What is the difference exactly between the two?? Thanks, SS

Here is the Apostle's Creed. This is how Christianity got started: 1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: 2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: 3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: 4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was...

I'm not sure what to think of the whole Democrats/Nader Florida ballot crap. Thinking skeptically: How can we tell the difference between if the Democrats are trying to manipulate the ballot, or simply insisting on enforcement of the election law?

Can someone explain what the primary difference is between a MD and DO doctor? I have read the definitions. All I know is the MD is a medical doctor and they have to be certified by the state. I have not found any such thing with a DO.

I was recently looking for new health insurance but the plans I was sent contained homeopathy and other woo-woo options that, frankly, got me a bit annoyed, so I sent this email (a bit blunt and not too well written, but I was miffed): I expected little or no response but got this...

I'm looking at cabling and splitters thats rated 1-1000 MHz. Is MHz interchangeable with Mbits/sec? These are both supposedly measures of bandwidth. If a cable/splitter is rated at 1000 MHz, does that mean the maximum throughput speed is 1000 Mbits/sec?

According to dictionary.com... By this definition, are there any major, modern "religions" that would actually be better described as "cults"?

I was reading an article recently in (I think) Skeptical Inquirer. It had to do with astrology. Someone had written an article debunking it and of course the astrologers were displeased. In the study they grouped people whose birth times differed by an average of five minutes. On of the...

Can someone explain to me since some people here seem to have no courage to say the word CHRISTIAN to describe a Christian. Instead they use the word XIAN and I would love to hear what the difference between a XIAN and a CHRISTIAN is.

'W' is allowed to print money. Davis isn't. Other than that, well, and Davis' better record on civil liberties, not much.
