Female converts to Islam, why did you make such asinine life choice?
A woman converting to Islam is like a black person converting to slavery.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoTransposing a formula?
I have the formula 230 = (0.25*0.001075*M) + (0.75*0.58179*M), how would I go about solving the equation for M?
Thanks.
1 AnswerMathematics7 years agoReligious people, how does it feel knowing that free will has been disproven scientifically?
It has been demonstrated scientifically by using electrical nodes attached to your head that it is possible to predict the actions of someone seconds before they do it. For example, in a lab experiment involving electrical impulses reacting with my cortex, if I made the conscious decision to pick up and eat an apple, this event can be predicted seconds before I were to even have the urge to do it. Your own actions are predetermined by societal, environmental, genetic factors etc. In other words, we are simply the recipients of our brain.
What effect does knowing that free will is an illusion have on your religion?
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoChristians, why do you still adhere to this nonsense?
1. Your God has never appeared to any credible person or group of people, and his existence has never been verified.
2. No miracles or supernatural events have ever been recorded by any credible sources.
3. There is no evidence that praying to your God is a quantifiable or applicable process to real world application.
4. Belief promises a reward and non-belief promises a penalty, but the veracity of either claim is completely unsubstantiated.
5. The Bible makes unsupported claims about the history of our origins and describes events or questionable historicity, all whilst being uncorroborated of divine origins.
6. Regular meetings are taken place at a Church to reinforce your beliefs, yet a person of authority is presented to interpret scripture on your behalf, since his holiness has yet to make a divine appearance. Money will also be collected at the end.
7. Despite the facts above, you refuse to cast a shadow of a doubt on your beliefs, and still attest to the assumption that God definitely exists and refuse to suspend judgment like any other rational person.
This is a bit absurd Christians, get your stuff together.
25 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoIs there a middle ground for people who are pro-life, and those who are pro-choice?
People who are pro-choice argue that the right to a pregnancy is that of the mother, and she should be able to care for her body without legal action. Conversely, pro-lifers argue that pregnancies shouldn't be terminated and those who are unable to care for their child should put them up for adoption.
Can there be a middle ground here, such as giving aborted babies up for adoption?
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoPlot hole in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
If the Earth was a supercomputer designed to compute the ultimate question for life, then why is its description in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" encyclopedia simply: "Mostly harmless."?
If this is explained in another book of the series, careful not to spoil it for me, as I'm only half way through The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, thanks!

3 AnswersMathematics7 years agoCan someone help me with moments produced in a 3D force system?
A 3D force F=180kN is applied at point A (4, 5, 2) and directed towards point B (6, 1, 6). Point C has x, y and z coordinates of (-2, 5, -2).
What are the three components of the moment produced by F about the point C?
1 AnswerPhysics7 years agoHow do you calculate the components, and the magnitude of projection in a 3D force vector system?
A 3D force F=100kN is applied at point A (1, 2, 2) and directed towards point B (3, 5, 4). Point C has x, y and z coordinates of (-1, 6, -1).
1) What are the x, y and z components of the force F?
2) What is the magnitude of the projection of the force onto the direction of BC?
More interested in the method rather than the answer, thanks!
1 AnswerPhysics7 years agoHow do I calculate the resultant of moments?

What is the resultant moment of the original force-couple system about the point D?
I also know that the moment produced by the force P about the point D is 37.23 kNm, I'm not sure if this piece of information is necessary, though.
Thank you.
