.... about 85' wide, and about 50' high. That's less than half the size of the RMS Titanic. Many species of land animal require highly specialized habitat and food to survive. Koala bears, for instance, only eat leaves of the Eucalyptus tree. Also, no matter what time of year it is, many creatures would be hibernating (it's always winter somewhere on the globe). Many creatures are only found on one continent, indeed some are limited to a small island, forest, and/or mountain. How could the ark cope with all the specialized requirements of food and environments for millions of creatures? 320 different species of hummingbird alone, for example, have very high metabo .....

.... it says that "...all these things will not happen until this generation passes away...". I feel that this passage had to have been talking about the people of that time. That is one base on which I hold this belief, because that, possibly, some of the "end of times events" have happened, but NOT ALL. If they would have all occurred at that time I would probably hold a different view. I really don't ever recall reading in the Bible about any natural disasters, other than the Flood.

.... of death shall not prevail against it” (Matt 16:18). Christ promised his followers that his church would not be destroyed and that his church would survive until his return. is the largest religion today. This religion has been seeing a lot of people leaving this religion and joining other churches. But even though many people are changing to other religions, there are also many people leaving their churches and converting to Roman Catholicism. It has been growing rapidly in the last few years. “Today we are seeing more than a hundred and fifty thousand converts enter each year in the United States” (Catholic Answers). From what I can see the Ro .....

.... powerful presence which either guided, foretold, or assisted in day-to-day life. Even the most primitive people, the earliest hominids, held notions of a place where they went after their death, as well as performing rituals before going on hunts - presumably in order to receive blessing and aid from somewhere or someone . They have also been known to bury their dead in the fetal position, reproducing the way in which they came into the world in order to accelerate the journey into the next world . The views of the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans have been well-documented. All three of these ancient societies believed in numerous Gods, .....

Centuries later, after the church had again embraced the a young priest named Martin Luther called the book the Magna Carta of Christian Liberty. It helped bring back in a reclamation of the faith.

In nearly every case, the segregation of the church results from add-ons to the simple, pure gospel .....

.... body of Osiris while pulling out her hair, throwing dirt on herself and beating her chest. These gestures became the classic signs of feminine mourning in Ancient Egypt. Once she found the corpse of her husband she began working her magick to revive him. Isis managed to restore enough life to Osiris to conceive Horus. Soon after Set got word that Osiris was no longer dead and this made him quite angry. He tracked him down and cut his body into 14 pieces and threw them into the Nile. Upon hearing the news, Isis was once again thrown into a state of mourning. She, along with Nephthys and Anubis, traveled up and down the Nile in search of the pieces of Osiris. The .....
