How do you bring your full attention on the present?
Sit quietly. Take three deep breaths. Allow your body to breathe. Focus your attention on the tip of your nose (but don't look at it). Feel the breath going in and out. Focus your attention on the last bit of air going out at the end of each out breath. Begin counting: at the end of each breath say the count in your mind. Count one to ten. After ten, begin again at one. Don't stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth; let it lie. Try to do this for five minutes every day, then ten minutes. After a few weeks you may be able to stay focused for 30 minutes. Continue doing it for 30 minutes every day. Don't beat yourself up if you lose count. Just start again at one. Don't beat yourself up if you find yourself thinking about the future or the past. Just start again at one. No it isn't easy.
Is the creation account a myth?
First Answer:
No, it happened as told in the Bible. No humans were there at the time so we don't know what happened. God was there from the beginning and he told us what happened during the week of creation. So, no, it's not a myth. Evolution is the myth.
Buddhists as n example have reasoned that the question cannot be answered and feel that effort spent answering the question or determining which story is true is wasted from the efforts to acheive enlightenment.
Girls were no more "invented" than boys. Most larger forms of life on Earth multiply by sex and to do this you need 2 sexes, Men and Women in the case of humans. As you will learn for yourself, the fun starts when you find the right partner.
Is god and evil made by religion?
Thegenerally accepted interpretation of God is created by religion. there other interpretations that are the result of philosophy however these have been discouraged over the century's by the power of the various religions. Evil is a concept that is also easily bandied about usually by the church or political interests. We all understand good and evil in a contemporary way and we understand it in our own mind, the two are not always the same.
Is intelligent design the same as creationism?
For the most part, yes, but there are some key differences. Intelligent Design (ID) does not mention who is the creator or deity. Creationism is based strictly on the Bible teachings in the book of Genesis. Either way, they both believe that humans are too complex to have been designed by evolution or natural selection.
No. The only people ever recorded to have done this without flotation aids are Jesus Christ and his disciples, when Christ was rescuing the others from a sinking boat (whether one believes this was a miracle, or that Christ was actually walking on a submerged sandbank, is open to debate). But other than this example, no. A French inventor in the late 19th Century perfected 'foot canoes', which were like a pair of miniature kayaks that were worn one on each foot and enabled the wearer to skate along on water rather like wearing roller-skates. These never caught on, I think because they were considered too dangerous if you overturned. Some acrobats and stunt-performers are able to 'jump' across short stretches of water whilst holding a heavy weight in each hand, using the same principles of motional dynamics as apply when you skim a stone across a pond.
Why was Darwin called the ape man?
There are always some who lack manners and who are unable, or unwilling, to understand the views of others. It is quite possible that Charles Darwin was once called 'the ape man', and if so, that reflects on the people who used that phrase, not on Darwin, who has been called one of the great thinkers of the nineteenth century.
Pink and red tend to both represent love, although red would be a stronger colour of the two.

For starters....
What does the Adam and Eve creation story tell us about being human?
The creation story of Adam and Eve tells us that making mistakes is part of being human. Another part of being human is regretting mistakes. Still another part is learning from mistakes. And yet another is survivingand succeeding because of the human ability to recognize mistakes and change behaviors accordingly.
What was important to stanislavski and strindberg in the creation of the physical space?
nothing....... absolutely nothing
When and where was christanity founded?
Christianity was founded by the followers of Christ when his teaching started in the middle east nearly two thousand years ago. I'm not sure the above is correct. Jesus was Jewish and attended synagog (sp?) He came to the Preists of his religion to tell them he is the Son of God. He was crucified in great part for this. He was doing nothing more than showing up in the temple and telling them He is the one that was prophesized would come out of the House of David and fullfill the propheses. The Jews did not believe him and they killed him. Jesus did not come to say he was a teaching a new religion called Christianity, he came into world as a Jewish person that reverred and attended his faith, Judaism, not, Christianity. Christianity was founded when Jesus was discovered at the tomb and it was proven he rose from the dead. That is when it started. That first Easter Morning when he rose from the dead and the conflict of the stories He had risen cause conflict with the Jewish preists of the day. They killed the messiah that was prophesized, the Jews rejected Jesus and in that rejection came the followers of a new religion, the followers of Christ, or Christinaity.
That depends on what form of Christianity you are talking about. Some Catholics fast during Lent, but most of the other forms never fast.
What is the percentage of people who believe neither in evolution nor creationism?
Without addressing the Question directly, there are quite a number of people, or beliefs, that hold that this universe (or another) always existed in some form. Jainism is a prime example, as are (to a lesser degree) Mormonism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. See also:

On the sixth day.
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.
- On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."
- On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.
- On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.
- On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.
- On day 5: God created birds and fish.
- On day 6: God created animals and people.
- On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

Characteristics of creation myths?
1. Myths teach a lesson or explain the natural world Winter came when Persephone was forced to spend part of the year underground. The striking of Thor's hammer caused thunder. 2. Myths have many gods and goddesses Many myths had a huge cast of characters that had specific jobs. Zeus controlled the heavens, Poseidon controlled the seas and Hades ruled the underworld. 3. The gods and goddesses are super-human Jason won the golden fleece by performing impossible tasks. Atlas held up the world. 4. The gods and goddesses have human emotions Pandora was curious. Loki and Eros were mischievous. Hera was jealous. 5. Myths contain magic The sons of the North Wind and Pegasus could fly. Ciice transformed men into pigs. Athena was born from Zeus' head. 6. Gods and goddesses often appear in disguises Hera appeared to Jason as a old woman. Aphrodite became a hunter. 7. Good is rewarded and Evil is punished Baucis and Philemon were rewarded for their generosity to Zeus, but Prometheus was punished for stealing fire from the gods. 8. Myths can be violent (within reason, PLEASE
Was the creation an act of mercy?
The creation being an act of mercy is a very subjective question. Not all people or scholars believe in creationism. For those that do, there is no conclusive way to tell what God's thoughts were at the onset of creation.
