First year chemistry isnt hard as long as you do your work. Everyone says biochemistry in 2nd yr is hard but if you always keep up to date and do extra research, youll be fine. All in all, pharmacy is way overrated. Trust me.

damned if we do, damned if we dont. according to evolutionary theory, all things came from the "primordial soup"- from early water hence the verse can have a deeper meaning than just "comprising of water but that goes intothe evolution vs creationism debate.

katie, please refer back to my earlier post regarding adoption of Australian SOCIAL values. i was attacked for suggesting that costello meant social values rather than political ones etc. my point was being australian doesn't require an individual to "assimilate" into australian culture. you...

webby, it is hard to distance yourself from what youve been taught from a young age but it can be done. often that process has ended in conversion to another religion or stepping into atheism or agnosticism. others like myself, have distanced themselves from their religion to discover themselves...

Then what starting point do you propose?

the way i see it science cant prove nor disprove the existence of God hence its pointless to bring science into a theological argument. it only confuses the matter. the best anyone can do is extract an interpretation from scientific data and use it as a basis for their belief, be they religious...

i'll only delve into the science debate deep enough to point out that interpretatioon is a matter of perspective and picking up on possible implications in a text. before you go into a spin trying to prove that the scintific interpretations are twisted around to prove a point, id like to remind...

who even claimed that oil prevented research? if anything the greater economic fluidty should bolster scientific research. but the fact is, most of the profits coming form the oil industry line the pockets of corrupt tyrants that run the middle east. oh and lets not forget american investors...

in that case, costello's claim is exaggerated and unnecessary. every community has a dissenting element who, im sure we all agree, shouldnt live here if they're not happy, be they muslim or not. I cant see the justification behind costello pointing specifically at muslims apart from propagating...

and in response to katie_tully, i wont lie, there are some muslims who do not respect australian social values. well, social customs i guess, which could be described as values (i wont go into the argument generator and sly fly had). social values such as beer after work, sexual freedom...

You see, neither of us are going to agree here for the simple fact that you dont actually have a deep enough understanding of shariah law beyond what you read in the newspaper to be able to argue againt my point. To belittle something of which you have insufficient knowledge is a mistake on your...

omg, get over the rape thing.... its for modesty, end of story. you're never going to agree and in the end, any evidence either side will put forth to argue their case will be subjective. i wear it because i feel liberated wearing it. i feel different after wearing it. i no longer get cat-called...

it pains me to hear of Islamic laws being described as archaic when Shariah law in its pure form is a dynamic system adaptable to all times . what irks me even more is the ignorance with which "Islamic law" is described, as though the format in which it is presented today is a true reflection of...

generator, rape may be a power crime but when he decides to attack who do u think will be a more likely target- a chick in a mini-skirt or a girl in hijab?

serius made the mistake of saying that muslims didnt contribute and i replied by pointing out that muslims were light years ahead of the christian world at one stage. it wasnt my intention to denigrate christians but in the context of what i was trying to get across, that may be the impression i...
