Paul and Sarah Crystal and their children, aged 7, 15 and 17, moved to New Zealand more than six years ago but their application for permanent residency was turned down because the government was...
I’ve posted a request in R&S asking people not to post long links until this problem is resolved. It’s impossible to understand some of the posts and therefore impossible to respond....
For people using certain browsers, if long links are posted anywhere in a thread, the right hand side of the text of all the posts disappears under the adverts, rendering the posts incomprehensible....
A couple of days ago I asked a question at the end of a thread, but there are no answers so I’ll ask it separately here. I seem to recall that some years ago fossils of micro-organisms were...
I know it's caused by people posting long links, but it makes posts incomprehensible at times. In the more serious sections of AB, I would hazard a guess at my peril. ;o)...
…. regardless of the religion? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a religious person on here argue against another religion. I can understand them defending their own, but why defend...
Hi Rowan, I was served a salad made by someone who forages from hedgerows. It contained an assortment of leaves and flowers, none of which I recognised, but it was absolutely delicious. Do you have...

Since the Israelis, the Palestinians and all the people around the world praying for victory for one side or another, or even for peace, trust that God will answer their prayers, don’t you think...
Creation myths and stories of gods emanate from the four corners of the earth, so why believe tales from desert tribesmen of the middle east rather than, say, those of the the ancient Chinese or the...
This is crazy! http://www.upi.com/To...d/UPI-30571352719234/ Batexia posted this elsewhere for me a couple of days ago. I did ask him to re-post it separately, but he hasn’t been around so I do...
A comment from someone that they had no problem with humanists (or words to that effect), and the “Why are atheists so mistrusted (despised?) by those who believe?” thread got me thinking....
Did anyone watch this tonight? Part 1 of 3. Absolutely fascinating. I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in History - or even in Body & Soul under a psychology tag - but if you're interested...
