How can we reconcile the existence of Biblical Adam and the prehistoric man based on the fossilized evidence.?
October 30, 2009
According to the bibles, when Adam came to earth, he already know how to speak and knows the names of all animals. On the other hand, from the archaelogical findings, we know that human had gone through evolution to become what we are today.
The Old Testament was an epic poem passed on by an Oral Tradition for at least 3,000 years, unril it was finally written down, in close to its present form, in Hebrew, during the Babylonian captivity, circa 600 BCE…
What’s even more interesting, is that Babylon, which was the home of the Sumerians, also had a Creation Myth, called the "Enuma Elish", which had been written down 2,000 years earlier, and the Hebrew version of Creation is nearly a word-for-word translation in sumarized form, of the older Sumerian Myth…
Fossil evidence, which systematically and scientifically analizes & documents the development of life on earth, in a logical manner, is not meant to be poetic…
Science, answers the How; religion, the Why…

evolution is the DEVILution! you see how that rhymed?!?! that means its the work of the devil!!!
asker guy | Oct 31, 2007
What fossilized remains?
Also, Adam was ‘in the Spirit’ or on a different b4 the fall.
spareo1 | Oct 31, 2007
I would like to believe the biblical version, yet my logical mind tells me the reality.
SO in my mind, I justify that once "evolved" that was the coming of the Spiritual growth as symbolized by Adam/Eve.
Denise W | Oct 31, 2007
I believe the story of Creation is more of story than actual fact. I believe it to be an extreme over-simplification of actual events in order to explain where we came from to the people living 2000 years ago.
Mercer Devil | Oct 31, 2007
Adam is allegorical. The word ‘Adam’ means ‘Man’ in early Hebrew. The story of Adam and Eve was never meant to be taken literally.
The story was meant to tell us something about the relationship of man, earth and God, and why man is sinful and why life on earth is imperfect.
If you read the ‘creation myths’ of various primitive cultures, the story from Genesis is really the best! It’s a great story! But I think people who insist on taking it literally word-for-word are seriously lacking in imagination.
Mr. Knowitall | Oct 31, 2007
OK first off through research I have done carbon dating is very inaccurate. A cowboy boot found in a creek was dated as 10,000 years old.
Second where is the missing link? evolution theory there is a transfomation of "man" that is missing no one has found it.
Third it is a guess as to what each set of bones found by archaelogist are. Some aminmals have simular bone stucture, but hte are still different animals.
About Adam, a baby is born and learns to speak quickly, it take longer for them to learn our language. Prior to the fall of Babble everyone spoke the same language.
Adam did not know the names of all of the aminmals, because prior to him naming them they didn’t have names. that was mans first task given by God.
T D | Oct 31, 2007
Quit buying the evolutionary nonsense!
Fossils of different organisms similar to homo sapien sapien (that’s us) does not mean that we did not co-exist with all the fossilized remains of these other creatures.
Carbon dating is bunk!
Don’t you think that any entity (God) were intelligent enough to create everything that is in existence He could place the seminal isotopes appropriately to make us believe in Faith rather than have gas chromatographs prove His existence for us?
daveeewillyyy | Oct 31, 2007
You can’t reconcile them, other than to understand that the story of Adam and Eve was meant to illustrate a point, not to be taken literally. Mr. Knowitall is right on. I went to many years of Catholic school were we were taught evolution as well as religion and basically, that’s just how it was explained. Makes perfect sense.
neni | Oct 31, 2007
One could view Adam as the 1st modern man & all previous hominids as animals that lacked Adam’s cognitive abilities. DNA tests do indicate all living humans can trace their ancestry back to an Adam & an Eve. The problem there is they did not live at the same time.
Remember the Bible was written, edited & translated many times by very unsophisticated people that had little if any grasp on evolution. I suspect the whole book would have been destroyed long ago if it mentioned DNA & man’s relationship to the great apes.
ed031639 | Oct 31, 2007
You can’t.
The story of Adam and Eve was an early and primitive attempt to explain man’s origin.
kestril68 | Oct 31, 2007
I have a personal theory that if you believe in the bible look in Genesis, twice it mentions that God created man and woman . Genesis ch 1 v. 27in the image of God he him;Male and Female…created he them..(apes)
Genesis ch 2v5 and there was not a man to till the the ground… (here comes the thumb) science has been proving some sort of intervention by not being able to completely connect the humans today with the homosapians over a period of evolution…I am not trying to bring this question into a religious conversation, but if you want to reconcile this Adam with evolution, this is an interesting clue..by far I am not a religious fanatic, but I do believe in a being greater than ourselves…
iwildspirit | Oct 31, 2007
I’m not sure what the point of such a reconciliation would be. Why not reconcile man’s use of fire with Prometheus? Why not reconcile man’s emigration patterns in the western hemisphere with Spider and Rock stories?
I guess you have to decide if you believe in a supreme being, a God, or not.
If you decide that you do believe in a supreme being, then reconcile yourself to the fact that it isn’t your job to tell God how He did His.
If you do not, ultimately, believe that there is a supreme being, then that makes you personally responsible for your own choices, your impact in the world, and your legacy to the world when you are gone. While not as comforting as reconciliation with creation stories, it is a great deal more empowering.
Arby | Oct 31, 2007
I see Adam and Eve as the first of our primitive ancestors to be "aware" of being human. In this respect, evolution and the Bible can work together.
Happened about 160,000 year ago.
Jan Stolz | Oct 31, 2007
Adam knew all animal names? That’s crazy hard. Here I am trying to track down which genus the mangabey belongs to and how many species it has and that badass memorized them all? Dude, eating from the tree of intelligence, that dude outsmart god himself in a chess game.
High Tide | Oct 31, 2007
No, that’s what the world’s view is. Who is to say that just because God created the earth that it couldn’t have happened in 6 days? My God is a powerful one and created all things in their present form and existence to go together and survive. even darwin rejected his own teachings later in life. nothing i can say here can answer really adequately so try this site and look unbiasedly and see how u feel.

Denver RTD Releases Lessons Learned Report : Infra Insight Blog
October 29, 2009
Trackbacks
The Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) has released a Lessons Learned Report which gives a realistic and sober review of what’s gone well and what should be done differently to implement the FasTracks program. The FasTracks is the RTD’s voter-approved, multi-billion dollar program to build 122 miles of rail transit, including six new commuter rail and light rail lines and extensions of three existing lines, build 18 miles of bus rapid transit service, add 21,000 new parking spaces, redevelop Denver Union Station and redirect bus service to better connect the eight-county District.
The report reviews lessons learned in nine main areas that can be used throughout the completion of FasTracks itself – currently one of the most ambitious transit expansion efforts in the country – as well as for future programs. Among those lessons are things that have worked well including:
RTD’s Environmental Methodology Manual, which incorporated lessons learned in real time and streamlined coordination efforts with local and Federal agencies, has been a success that helped lead the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to award the Gold Line Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Excellence in Environmental Document Preparation.
Use of the matrix organization has been effective in personnel management by allowing flexibility in assigning personnel when a specific expertise or resource is required that may not be available on a corridor. It also assures a level of standardization and provides great experience for personnel who may later transfer or be promoted to a corridor position.
The Public Information Liaison concept has worked well, with a member of the program PI team assigned to each corridor project as the central communication link between the program PI team and the corridor team. This structure establishes a liaison for the duration of the program to maintain consistency and familiarity with the project, its stakeholders and historical issues.
Among the categories identified in the report where improvements can be made are:
Property Acquisition – RTD will improve communication with potentially impacted property owners, emphasizing that the acquisition of property takes place following the completion of the formal environmental process. It also hopes to shore up reserve funds for unexpected costs and for higher-than-expected costs in buying up rights of way.
Communications – RTD will develop a Public Information and Public Involvement Program as early in a program as possible, and keep the public better informed about the realities involved in both building out FasTracks and paying for it.
The document is an agency-initiated review that takes an honest and open look at what has gone well should be repeated, and also what should be done differently. It is refreshing to see this level of circumspection on such an important transportation project.

What type of paint is usually used on ceilings in bathrooms?
October 29, 2009
I had a shower head that sprayed a small stream straight up and didn’t realize it until the ceiling was sort of messed up (just the paint, the drywall was ok). What kind of paint or material is commonly used on ceilings that produces the "popcorn" effect? What are good brands of said materials? How is it applied?
The popcorn effect you are talking about is probably the finish on the ceiling. Mine was like that too and it got a little wet and started to fall in a couple of small spots. I lightly misted my ceiling with water and scraped all that off with a putty knife. Finally I had a smooth ceiling. Then I painted it with a primer, I used Kilz. I believe it was some sort of anti fungal primer. Then I painted it with regular semi gloss wall paint. It has been perfect since then. I asked the people at the store about ceiling paint and they said the main difference was that it is thicker so it doesn’t drip as much. Also since I was using an anti fungal primer i really didn’t need to worry about the anti fungal paint too.
? | Feb 09, 2008
Trust me, you don’t want "popcorn" on a bathroom ceiling! This type of finish does not respond well to moisture. The little popcorn pieces are just like little chunks of cardboard, and they soak up moisture.
You can use a sanded finish, that has hard little pieces in it, but even these I don’t recommend for a bathroom. If you’re trying to match an existing finish, it’s probably the sanded finish.
If its smooth, like I recommend, just get yourself some "kitchen and bathroom" paint. The finish should be semi-gloss, as this is best for moisture, like in a bathroom, and is a more washable/durable surface. Get the kind that says mildew-resistant, costs more, but worth it.

How remarkable was the 76ers comeback against the Lakers last night?
October 28, 2009
man what a game. Good job Philly and great comeback. Philly also put the clamps down on Kobe and Iguodala outscored him and the 76ers held him to 15 pts on 5 of 15 shooting. How bout the 76ers knocking off the Lakers last night in a great road comeback, and Kobe having an off night?
It was a great game, even tho i was disappointed…=/
Kobe hit a clutch 3 pointer, then the lakers got lazy and didnt defend good enough…so AI hit the 3 to win it…
Lakers will bounce back 2morrow against the warriors.
Lakers in ‘09
Lakers Are The 2009 NBA Champsss | Mar 18, 2009
the 76ers really played an excellent 4th quarter, forcing lots of turnovers and making shots. Lakers played a sloppy fourth they had a 14 point lead but gave up alot of points to the 76ers, Great shot by Iggy…76ers are winners of 4th straight games they’re looking good.
2.0 | Mar 18, 2009
Amazing.
The poise from the 76ers to come back, AT STAPLES, and defeat the league’s best team.
Hopefully the Lakers can bring this "cruise control" thing into the post-season.
As for the 76ers, they are a playoff team, but will miss the presence of Elton Brand when offense becomes a half-court game.

Okay!
Question: A diary is 148 mm wide and 210 mm high. How do you find the diagonal of the diary??
Please give calculations.
Your diary is rectangular in shape, which is essentially two right triangles put together. Thus, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the diagonal….
length of diagonal = sqr (148^2 + 210^2)
= 256.91 mm
Hope this helps.
martelli88 | Jul 13, 2009
Question is not clear. Which diagonal?
DOVE | Oct 26, 1959
Its squareroot(148^2+210^2).
w | Jul 13, 2009
Use pythagoras: c^2=a^2+b^2
If the diary is closed:
where a=148 and b=210, your calculator can calculate c^2 then c for you.
c=257
If the diary is open:
where a=2*148 and b=210, your calculator can calculate c^2 then c for you.
c=363
SuperA | Jul 13, 2009
you’d find the diagonal of the diary by drawing a line diagonally on the diary.. here, you will see two right triangles.. 148mm is one side and 210mm is another. you can use the pythagorean theorem. c= square root of a^2+b^2 c is the diagonal and a and b are the 148mm and 210 mm
Anna | Jul 13, 2009
To solve this problem, you must think of the diary as a rectangle with the sides of 148mm and 210mm. The diagonal is like the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 148mm and 210mm. To find the length of the hypotenuse, use the Pythagorean Theorem (a?+b?=c?) where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
Therefore, a=148 and b=210
Now substitute the values into the equation:
148?+210?=c?
21904+44100=c?
66004=c?
v66004=vc?
256.91243644479338439295878460367mm=c
Konstantinos | Jul 13, 2009
Diogonal = sqrt ( length ^2 + breadth ^2)
= sqrt ( 148 ^2 + 210 ^2)
= sqrt ( 66004)
= 256.9 mm
some1 | Jul 13, 2009
There is a rectangle 148mm x 210mm. The length of the diagonal can be found by:-
(Diagonal)^2 = 148^2 +210^2
= 21904 + 44100
= 66004
Diagonal = 256.9mm
Dippermouth | Jul 14, 2009
d^2 = 148^2 + 210^2
d^2 = 66004
d = 257 mm ( to nearest whole number)
