As I recall parts of the North American continent have been 'rebounding' since the retreat of glaciers from the last ice age. As sea levels rise can we expect the ocean floor to sink due to the additional pressure caused by so much more water over it? If so would the sinking ocean floor in any...

This concept has often been entertained in various works of fiction, but is it really a plausible concept, from a scientific standpoint? Think about it: Ice actually has more volume than water does. That's why it's able to float in water: It's the same mass as water, but greater volume, so...

This process supposedly started 650 million years ago when all the worlds' land masses were grouped together in a supercontinent positioned near the equator and runaway "weathering" took massive amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere and hence lowered the earths' temperature so that massive ice...

The highest mountain in the world today, is of course Mt. Everest. This is a bit over 29,000 feet. I wonder whether in past ages, there were even higher mountains, and how high they were. The shape of continents which existed in the past, can be found out, and described to us, by modern...

This is a novel way to think of volcanoes erupting, and the book already has me interested. Unfortunately, lava (or magma, as it's called when it's inside the earth) does not come from the earth's core, it's actually from spots in the mantle. Now, I say spots because the mantle is not all...

Taoism, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Baha'i Faith - none of these originated in the West, the South, or the North. Is there any scientific theory to axplain why all major religions come form the East?

I've never really had a particular interest in looking into Angelology. Other then believing in their existance I've pretty much had a similar visual picture as most people do. Guys with wings that you don't want mess with. And I only say that based upon some of the OT narratives of them...

So who is Satan? Well, I've heard some say Satan is the "root of all evil." I've also heard people say Satan is a fallen angel who is the arch enemy of God. Let's stop and give it some thought. The only way Satan could become the arch enemy of God is if God created angles with free will. And, if...

For a moment - if you can - set aside the idea that your scriptures are divinely inspired or that they contain true promises of things to come. Religious scriptures are written works, and like all written works, can be considered as literature. With that in mind, what are your favourite...

Many biblical scholars have given different interpretations as to the shape of the cross Jesus was put on. Isn't there a record by any of the witnesses as to the actual shape of the cross? According to a video I watched earlier of a christian speaker, he said the Quran has no proof or evidence...

Is the rite of reconciliation, including personal confession into the ear of a priest, as taught by the Catholic Church scriptural? Can all sins be forgiven?

I've been hearing a lot about Jehovah's Witnesses. Could someone elaborate on how they differ from other Christians other than the fact that they have a "non-trinitarian" belief.

There have been many books published on this subject, as I'm sure anyone who often frequents a bookstore knows. More and more books are being written by both Buddhist and Christian authors of the similarities between the teachings of Jesus and Buddha. I have started this thread in order to...

well I have a laptop but I used it only on my home and a desktop computer I used it on my office work.

A Roman Catholic devotion consisting of prayers on nine consecutive days. also the answered is on your post lol.
