As someone is introverted and often tired I will say... Getting a good nights rest is very important to make sure you do Use your time that you do have wisely, and efficiently. Set aside time on the weekends to ensure that you get enough study, if it means you need to get the bus back rather...

Concerning attraction: You'd think that penguins only develop a sexual expression when they mature (same goes for humans when they go through puberty). #discovery I don't think it is they are born this way or they choose this way. Yes, sexuality is fluid in some respects, but for others, no...

No, I think what actually is responsible is inconclusive. I don't agree with either the "choice" or "born this way" logic. People aren't born with any sexual attraction really. People presume it is all because of genetics, but the science hasn't concluded in either favour. In some cases, it can...

THSC is back up. I have cut back heaps of the file sizes for the maths papers, (one file was cut from 15MB to about 1MB for instance) to save on space for you. They will be made online in about a week. New link: http://tinyurl.com/thsc4/

Yeah in some sense. Hence why I tend to use the broader term ideology at some points, because a consensus of what religion can be classified is not really reached.

Yes, religions are related to each other in some ways, and in others they aren't. Some religions may even have virtually no connection except for maybe the belief in a deity. Some religions are reactions to other religions for instance. Most religions return to their initial teachings and...

Again as he mentioned, it depends on what you consider "evidence" or "proof" for instance. For my perspective, it revolves around things like the resurrection claims (of Jesus, which we celebrate every Easter), are they genuine or are they hoaxes, and does that fit the data we have? You can...

True, but some religions have been too fairly consistent in their beliefs for this to be the case. Some religions (ahem liberal forms of religions) have evolved more so on ethical matters mainly rather than theological matters; although some liberals reject key tenants of what would be...

Because I don't disagree with you always, take it more of a constructive feedback. I comment on things as I wish, some of them aren't necessarily things you have said/implied but just generally from the context.

Well in some people's minds, religion is a psychological/sociological (more likely the latter) phenomena. Religion can be of benefit to society and it can be a detriment (in the case of extremism etc.), but the same can go from any ideology that comments on the existence or non-existence of a...

Nah, more so some constructive feedback. I know exactly why you posted it, I know he made the implied claim that someone of your faith has no benefit to society, which is false even if it wasn't your case. I don't think your argument proves anything though; one can still be a benefit to society...

Apart from the fact that you presume that they must be mythological (implied is fiction even though myth does not imply always fiction) or figments of their imagination. Well I would argue in some cases, particularly pagan gods/goddess and some of the ancient religions. But I don't think it...

yeah I know (they aren't too difficult, and not in the scope of syllabus), this thread is in the extra-curricular section.

I don't know what I am getting by asking this: But do you think you can prove that the universe exists? Or do you just assume it exists with sufficient evidence (or in the case of some people, not exist?) But even then, as others have mentioned, the lack of a definitive proof does not mean...

Who is the 'us'? (more of a curiosity) I am sorry but there are many people who have done similar, who have been from different faiths, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, secular (atheists too). Contribution to society is not something that be easily measured, if at all; generally speaking. I will...

Sociological arguments fail miserably, even in some religions, you don't follow God (or at least shouldn't) because he will fix your marriage. And secondly, rather than end up in a whole which religion is better argument, which this statement is a play on (if you consider ideologies more...

(you aren't wrong so far) As someone who is doing probably the exact/equivalent course but at UOW, I will say that if you let D=BC and E=AC (i.e. you need to compute the stuff in the brackets first as a matrix multiplication). You seem to be on the right track, expand the sums noting that a_ij...

Good work tywebb.

well... ok to you as well. and good bidding. (as a side note, uni has just chalked rainbow near the library, whenever something like that happens, I am like did I miss something?)

yes
