Where can you get past papers for year 11? In the HSC year (accelerated IPT) they were easy to get because you can download all the past years HSC papers and get the Catholic schools trial exams, but year 11 is harder, since there aren't any state wide exams run by the BoS. As well as this...

. But as we are just assembleges of Carbon atoms interacting with other bodies of atoms, and since we serve no purpose, why shouldn't we exceede our murder rate exceede our death rate if we want to? I'm not acting for the "good" of the species, if I kill every other male as a means to...

You could say that morals evolved because we are a social species, or to encourage co-operation, for for a vareity of reasons. But ultimatelty, if this is a Godless world, the only reason we evolved such concepts of judging between right and wrong, is becasue it allowed us to be more...

We don't get our morals from the law, the law develops as rules to govern society as a result of the morals we hold. For example, if everything felt it was wrong to wear the colour purple, the law would reflect this, most likely by outlawing it. Morals affect the law not the other way around...

Some species of worker bee to die as a result of stinging an aggressor, which could I suppose be interpreted in such a way, as a sacrifice to protect "the greater good" of the species/colony. However I doubt that the humble worker bee is aware of the concept of death as we are, and even knows...

It is your view that morals evolved (via the mechanism of evolution) to enhance the survival prospects of a species, amirite?. This would appear a logical argument and I can empathise with you on how you reached this conclusion. This theory would indeed explain many things. Like for...

So you're argueing that in whatever exact why it did happen, that through the human's concept of morality has devloped from an evolutionary imperative to support each other, thus maximising the species' chances of survival overall? EDIT: Or in even simpler terms, that morality emerged to as a...

Isn't that contradictioanry to the theory of Natural Selection anyway? Whereby the strong survive and the weak perish? The environment "selects" individuals of a species who are well adapted to survive while those poorly adapted die out, providing a higher concentration of well adapted...

But where did these morals come from? If you like the rest of our species are merely the freak development of some accidental chemical reactions which caused primative bacteria to crawl out of a primeval sludge, then why should you care about the predicament of others? If this is your...

+ 1 Iron you have a way with words :) In addition to this, why should you care about the freedoms of others, afterall in a Godless universe we are all but cavemen, protecting out own patch of land, with no more right to an existance than an ant or bacterium. Furthermore, without God it...

Troll perhaps, or maybe just illiterate?

What it means is if you accept Christ and recognise you have sinned, and ask for Gods forgiveness, it will be granted. It does not give you an endless "get out of jail free" card which permits you to do what you want to do. The idea is that you never intended to sin out of your love for God...

Reserected from 19 pages ago.... Sigh.

That includes the uranium that powers your electricity, amirite? Anyway, its good to cry for action "now" but racial tenions are not something that can be solved quickly or easily, that is, if the attacks are even racially motivated and are not co-incidences.

Haha I was thinking just that ;)

This is about what is right and wrong, not what is popular or not. People will naturally gravitate to ideals which give them the most personal freedom and relieve them of the responsibilities of their actions. Its not hypocritical at all. I chose to accept Christ and while I will never be...

To blame the plight of the Aboriginal people today on Christianity is ridiculous. Just so you know, the reasons why Australia was colonised by the British were to (primarily) ease the overpopulation of the penal system and (secondly) to establish a military outpost with which to consolidate...

This is not true. If I am overcome with lust towards an very attractive person I know (be they male or female), it would be wrong for me to be tempted by my lust to have sexual contact with them if it violates Gods laws regarding love and marriage. That is, if they are the same sex as me, if...

Please don't try and outsmart God, it will only bring shame upon yourself. It is quite clear what the message of the verse is. Should you ignore it, that is your choice, but the Bible's stance on homosexuality it isn't open to interpretation. Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them...

What's wrong with being gay? Homosexual behavior versus the Bible - ChristianAnswers.Net I too can post links. This article refutes the four main arguements made in favour of homosexuality, these being: 1. They are made that way. 2. Homosexuality is of no harm to the participants or to...
