Hi - Iam looking for an application to read Borland Delphi .db database files - ideally on linux

how long did noah have to count in the animals after building the ark?

I remember reading a quote from the bible on yahoo answers which basically said it was ok for people to kill there children if they were born disabled.

does anyone know where in the bible this is stated.

hello people, I am looking for a book which will help explain an atheists point of view about religion, reasons we don't believe in aliens, magic, the soul etc. based on the number of religions, how most religions can be tranced back to other religions etc. A book which explains what we do believe in, such as keeping religion out of science lessons and politics. How we get our morals (why 'most' atheists are nice people and do not go around killing people) etc.

I am not trying to convert some one just help them understand my point of view. I want a book which is not completely against religion - I think the god delusion would be too harsh (like asking an atheist to read the bible)

to help me understand a religious persons point of view I have been asked to read 'Mere Christianity' by C. S. Lewis so I am looking for something similar to help a religious person understand an atheists views.

thanks

I have set up mysql replication with 3 servers, these are set in a loop where 2 is the slave of 1, 3 is the slave of 2 and 1 is the slave of three. so mysql updates can be done to any one of the three. this works except where a table has an auto_increment value and the same table gets updated on two different servers. how do you prevent this. nb the server which the update is sent to is random so i can not choose to send all updates to one server.

hi - when I play media files on my pc, runing windows xp with service pack 2 - and all the security updates, the video always displays video information in the to left hand corner such as frame rate duration etc. it dose not apear to be linked to the file type or the player. i have tried to play wmv, avi, mpg files in windows media player, real player, quicktime player etc. and the same thing keeps happening - any ideas

last week replied to question and it got removed

the question was about who created hell

my answer contained the following

1. I said hell is based on a fictional book (like it or not the bible is fictional - it was written by humans and its contents are not real facts - unless you really believe the sun goes around the earth etc.) - (yes fiction CAN contain some truth and be based around real people and real places - that dose not make it a factual book)

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fiction

2. I said god is an alien - (an alien or Extraterrestrial life form is life originating outside of the Earth. - if it created earth then it must have originated outside of the Earth).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life

3. I referred to god as 'it' - (as opposed to he or she - i had already used the word god in the sentence so it was obvious what i was referring to and i do not know its sex or if it has a sex.) - (To continuosly use the same noun is bad english.)

in perl when you do this

$string =~ s/o*/i/;

why does it put the i at the beginning of the string?

any urls on this?

Then why are there natural disasters - dose he enjoy watching us suffer and die?

he is supposedly all powerful he could have created and put us on a more stable planet.

ok so i know it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a super human creator dude

but surely there is something which destroys all main-stream religions.

ok - I know historically burial and cremation were ways for safely dealing with dead bodies, and thus helped with prevention of disease

it also made sense to link this with religion so that people would do it - ie if you tell them you need to be buried 6ft down to be able to go to heaven then they are more likely to do it. especially as disease was not very well understood

but these days it is surly better to give your body to medical science. after all you don't need it. and surly its selfish to burn or burry it.

if you give it to medical science people can survive from your organs through transplants and medical students and scientists can study it to help them with everything from performing operations to finding new cures.

and if you do beleive in god - then you only believe the sole goes to heaven so surely giving your body to help man kind would be a far better thing to do than not doing so and so would help you get into heaven.

is he made of atoms - (like carbon) if not is he composed of subatomic particals like electrons, quarks or photons etc. perhaps dark matter or perhaps he exists on a quantum level

if non of these then for him to exist he must consists of something.

I went to my girlfriends church on sunday and the service was basically saying for god to be your friend you must worship him and do as he commands you without question

they also made a bunch of kids stand up and say that god was their best friend

just wondered what other peoples thoughts on this are

following from an earlier question - if you believe in the soul - please explain to me what it is? have you ever seen one? where in my body can I find it. do animals have them? what biological function does it perform or if it is no longer used did it perform? if it exists when someone dies - has anyone got proof of this? what is its chemical or physical make-up? how does it exist, is it a life form? does it need water to live - to the best of my knowledge all life needs water. if you say not then where is the documented evidence of this?

please limit references to modern texts - the bible is about 2000 years old - as such i do not regard it as an up-to-date reference book.

any ideas why this is not working

<script language=javascript>

<!--

function doAlert(){

alert('hello');

history.back();

}

//-->

</script>

<body onLoad="doAlert()";>

</body>

the alert works but i can not get it to go back to the previous page - also tried history.go(-1);

using firefox.

who would vote for a government whose members were mostly atheist or agnostic, where 90% of the government was similar to the current government but

a on education

1. schools would not be allowed to discriminate against pupils based on there religion

2. schools would have to teach all theist and non theist beliefs equally

3. religion would be kept out of the science lessons

b. on war

we would never invade another country because 'god' said we should. or we feel it is 'gods' will.

can anyone tell me a regular expression to find a url within a string

thanks in advance
