A. The truth is not always easy to live with. In this situation, there are several uneasy truths. 1. You don't actually know who he is. You know perfectly well who you *want* him to be -- but the difference between that man and the man he really is may be, to paraphrase Mark Twain, as great as the difference between lightning and a lightning-bug. 2. It's very possible for one person to be wonderful in every way, and at the same time have no romantic interest in a second person, who is also wonderful in every way. Andre Maurois: "In literature, as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others." 4. There is nothing better to do than to be who you are, and let him be who he is, and see what happens.

Q. I know people in general need love and we can't live without it. They are many forms of love which can come from family, God, friends, etc. However, It seems that girls (ages: 12-18) are so obsess with falling in love.

A. Love fills a void in life. People that are always on the go really don't settle down for a "love" relationship for quite some time. The "career-minded" guy or gal seem to pass up the relationships because they are just too busy. Men, I think, have more releases for filling the void. Of course, the double standard that men can be promiscuous with little negative effects, sports, and the primary career seeker. These are broad generalizations, but they can accurately show why more women seem to want the "solid" relationship earlier. And you are right when you mention popular media playing up the "woman looking for love" idea. Generally the main differences between men and women seem to be: men crave action, women crave stability. (all… [cont.]

A. You'd need a PhD in astronomy, astrophysics, or physics to become a research scientist in the field. That's 8-12 years of college. And you don't get paid a lot considering how many years you spent in school - you could make a lot more as a medical doctor. Astronomers make in the 60k - 120k range depending on where they work and how long they've worked there. But after 4-8 years of grad school making 20k a year or less, that's a lot of money. Since it's a lot of college, don't try adding extra time to that. If you want to get into a top school, try getting involved in astronomy now by joining a local astronomy club and learning more about the field. I did that at your age.

A. We aren't meant to be alone, it goes against or nature. So people are always trying to feel the emptiness that they feel when they are not connected to another person. Some fill that emptiness with material wealth, or sex, or drugs but in the end the emptiness still remains. That's why people bounce from relationship to relationship-they're hoping to find the one person who will fill the emptiness and make them fill complete.

A. Another creationisst answering-- Several experiments have taken place trying to prove the theory of evolution. One such experiment proved that if a charge of electricity was applied to water that help the ingredients believed to be in the water at the time life started on earth, amino acids would form. It was then hypothosized that from the amino acids would develop protocells, which would develop into single celled organisms and blah blah blah. The problem I have with evolutionists is the fact that they claim creationists shun science. Science is the study of observable, repeatable occurences, and evolution is neither observable and repeatable, therefore how can it be called science?

Theory on why Atheism leads to more moral behaviour. (See extra details) Thoughts please?
Q. Ethics and morality are simply the innate and learned codes of conduct necessary to function well as part of the society we are in. This is basic behavioural ecology. Behaviour is regulated by a combination of negative and positive emotions that are collectively known as our conscience. When we act within these parameters, we empathise and treat each others helpfully with love and compassion and we fit in well with general human societal needs as well as specifically with the society we are born into. Of course, there are anomalies and conflicts of interest with other traits from time to time but the moral trait is fairly universal (not completely though) and we feel more fulfilled when we prioritise it.

A. I don't think it needs to be that complicated. Religion is not based on love, it is based on love for those who share one's beliefs. Even Jesus, if he existed, was referring only to the members of his own in-group when he talked about how you should treat your neighbor. He had other, very different, words to say about how members of out-groups should be viewed and treated. Various faiths may pay lip service to tolerance, but as Sam Harris put it, "certainty about the next life is simply not compatible with tolerance in this one." Religious faith allows people to look at other people in terms of their *worth* - it allows them to judge others, particularly non-believers, and it allows for the acceptance of certain tenets that the… [cont.]
