The sun and moon, which mark what we understand as a 24 hour cycle, were not created until like the forth day. I address this question because atheist constantly say that the Bible is wrong, that science proves it took generations for things to come into existence. In fact, in Genesis 2, it says: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created", clearly implying a time frame of duration.
Do atheists believe the that God said he created everything in 6, 24 hour days?
I wrote a Percy Jackson & the Olympians fanfic. Read and let me know what you think. Thanks! XD PJatO fanfiction---football Percy's P.O.V. I woke up to my mother's voice calling to me to get out of bed. Sunlight streamed through my bedroom window, filling the room with light. I looked up at the calendar on my wall in excitement. Today was Goode High Schools' big annual boys vs. girls football game. See, every year, my high school holds this huge football game for the whole school. I'd never seen it before, since this was my first year at Goode, but supposedly it was awesome. I couldn't wait. I really hoped that nothing would go wrong. *** As I got off the school bus, I saw Annabeth waving at me from the front steps. I smiled and waved back as I walked up to where she was sitting. “Hey, Percy. You excited for the big game?” she said in greeting. “Definitely. You?” “You bet.” I sat next to her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She blushed and looked down. “So, who do you think is gonna win?” I asked. “The girls, of course. We are so going to kick your butts.” The school bell rang. I laughed. “We'll see about that.” I said as we stood and walked into the school together. *** The day seemed to drag on from there. I got to most of my classes on time, with the exception of Science and English. During Social Studies, I heard strange noises outside, like cats, snakes and dogs having a street fight. I decided it was nothing, but not before glancing nervously out the window a few times. I heard the same noises again during Math, and this time a rumbling, reptilian voice, hissing, “No! I told you, wait until they come outside! Then there will be more room to fight. Besides, there are only two of them and seven of us, and no help for them for 60 miles. That old horseman won't be able to make it in time to save them. By then, it'll be too late.” That voice...I'd heard it before. I couldn't remember where. And there was something about what the voice said that would bug me for the rest of the day. What did they mean, whoever ?they' was? *** At last it was time for the game. Near the end of the day, the whole school, from grade nine to grade twelve, gathered in the football field behind the school. The girls were on one side of the field and the boys were on the other. The coach explained the rules, and soon enough the game was underway. To my surprise, the girls were leading 5-4. There was one minute left in the game, and I had the ball and was just a few yards away from the girl's goalpost. Just when I thought I would make it, something tackled me around my waist and sent me face first into the dirt. I looked up to find Annabeth, hovering over me with her knee planted on my back to hold me down, giving her teammates almost enough time to come help. But it wasn't enough. Somehow, I managed to roll over so that I was on my back and could see what was going on. I started struggling to get out from under Annabeth's weight, but she leaned down and kissed me, and I stopped struggling. I wasn't completely distracted, though. Before she could grab hold of the football, I threw it in the air to see one of my teammates snatch it out of the air and dart off towards the girls' goal. He tried passing it to another boy on our team, only to have it intercepted by a grade ten girl named Sarah, who sprinted in the other direction. I finally managed to get up and run after Sarah. But then Annabeth suddenly raced past me, ahead of Sarah, who passed her the ball. “No!” I shouted, and picked up speed, tearing down the field. I caught up to Annabeth and tackled her from behind, but the ball had already left her hands. I glanced at the clock. Five seconds to go. I watched helplessly as the ball sailed into the hands of a girl who was standing behind our goalpost. Cheers erupted from all the girls. The game was over and we had lost. Suddenly, the cheering stopped. A low, menacing growl sounded from the bushes, and a hellhound the size of an elephant emerged, snarling and snapping. Its glowing red eyes were trained on Annabeth and me. Kids started screaming and backing up. I wondered what they saw in the Mist. Together, Annabeth and I drew our weapons. Everyone was staring at us in horror, as if to say, Are you two insane? But I didn't care what they were thinking. All I knew was that Annabeth and I had to take care of it. I wasn't too worried. We'd done this before. We could handle it easily. Then our chances of beat
What do you think of my fanfiction?
Okay so i really like this guy, we have only had a couple classes together and we don't know each other all that well. When we were in the same tech class he would always be singing my name down the hallway after lunch (yes hes a major dork) and asking me questions about myself. Two weeks ago during science i went to the bathroom (just wanted out of class) and he happened to be going to the bathroom at the same time, when he saw me in the hallway he blew me a kiss.. we talked over the next few days but we never spoke of what happened. Yesterday i rode the bus home with some friends and we sat in he seat behind him, while i walked down the aisle he said "Hey Baby" to me and then we had a normal conversation. That night at our school dance, One Less Lonely Girl came on and he asked me to dance, unfortunately for me there was alot of drama going on with my group of friends and they ended up dragging me out of the room, ruining my fairytale moment.. They didn't know he had asked me and none of them know i like him. I worry that he may not forgive me.. I'm sorry this was kind of alot to read.. Do you think that he likes me?btw i also asked for advice so by answering just "yes he likes you" or "no he doesn't" does not really help me. Also hes kinda the out going, weird, cute guy and hes definately a flirt.
Can someone please help me? ADVICE?
Hi. I'm someone who's just getting the hang of high school, the academics, what's needed, how to get out of here fast, etc. I'm not enjoying my years so far, because high school is absolutely ridiculous from I've observed so far (the hierachy, the people, the bullying, the teachers) and I'm hoping to get ahead. It's now time to outline my courses for my 10th grade year. I've always been "on top" or ahead of the game as I'm hoping to enter AP early, however, I see that a lot of people are being recommended for AP Physics already, and I'm not. This is kind of making me feel stupid for not being...well, a special recommendation. I'm not huge on math; I'm in Geometry now and I'm only getting in the high eighties and low nineties. I'm seeking to improve my Integrated Algebra this summer as a retake since my initial scoring was less-than-impressive as well. I'm often complimented on my ability to write, comprehend, spell, etc. Basically, I'm an aspiring English major, and I've always been. English teachers love me, and they always want me to get ahead. However, this does NOT match my job interests whatsoever, nor does it suit my college interests. It seems as though EVERYONE is an English major nowadays, which makes them less valuable in terms of job and school. I don't mean to insult, because I'm one, too, but should I change my focus and outlook? I've heard MANY older people say that they regretted their focus on English. Do Ivy League schools/the rest of the Top Colleges take English majors seriously? Aren't math and Science majors in higher demand? What should I go for? I don't care about what will make me happy as a high-school upperclassman or what I'm best at. I'm looking for the future, and for brute honesty. I'll improve if my English skills go unneeded in today's world. I just need a little guidance. Am I just talking stupid? Thanks. I do LOVE English, so no offense to the majors who share my interests. It's just that the jobs that come with being one don't appeal to me at all.
Are English majors valuable at all anymore?

I'm absolutely torn between these two schools. I got accepted into their undergraduate programs and I would attend both for different reasons. I plan to get into medical research to develop cures for diseases, preferably AIDS. I was admitted into UCSD under a Biochem.+Cell Biology major and into UC Berkeley's College of Letters and Science (no major specified in the acceptance). Pros of UCSD: I would actually enjoy the overall college experience at UCSD more. I don't why but something about the environment there seems more in-tune with who I am. I haven't done a campus tour there yet (I will do so though over spring break), but my first impressions of UCSD through their website give me a strong sense of belonging. It also has a strong biology and well-regarded research program. The campus is absolutely beautiful (and next to the BEACH!) from what I've heard. Cons of UCSD: In terms of my educational goals, I don't think it would be a perfect match for me. Although it does have a strong biology and research program, it's not in the area (infectious disease) I plan to work in. From the information I've gathered about my potential majors, I've decided that I would need to pursue an immunology major, but this isn't offered at UCSD. Pros of UC Berkeley: It would be a great match for my educational goals. Cal offers immunology as an undergraduate major. In addition, I plan to attend UCSF for graduate school because of its great HIV/AIDS research programs and UC Berkeley serves as a feeder school for UCSF. Also, I've heard from alumni that you can gain valuable business connections. Also, it's not like everyone even has the opportunity to attend Berkeley! Cons of UC Berkeley: I'm unsure of whether I'll be as happy to attend Cal than UCSD. The sense of belonging I have towards UC Berkeley isn't as strong as that of UCSD. I know in time, I'll can acclimate myself to the environment because I've had to go to three schools throughout my high school years so I've learned how to adapt well. Beyond this, Cal is more competitive than UCSD, which would make my college experience only a stressful and not enjoyable blur in my life. I have doubts on how successful I'll be at Berkeley because I'm sure those around me are on a much higher academic level than I am. They have much higher SAT and AP scores, GPAs, etc. than me. So, when professors grade on a curve, I'll be the one who ends up with low grades, which would jeopardize my acceptance into UCSF. Also, I was admitted into Berkeley for Spring 2011 (and not Fall 2010) so I won't be guaranteed dorms if I attend there. Sorry for the long explanation, but both are great schools in my opinion. I just can't choose! UC Berkeley for the education or UCSD for my personal happiness?
UCSD or UC Berkekley?
Okay, basically I need to really improve my school work if I want to get into an American university. I live in the UK was in a school where I was entering the higher level tiers for Science Double Award, English and English Literature, basically everything but Maths. Last June, instead of Year 9 SATs, we sat an official GCSE paper. (Data Handling) Anyway I got one mark away from a B grade, which was good for me! I was pleased with my mark and so was my Maths teacher. Anyway about two months after I sat that exam (Last September) our family moved three hundred miles away to Wales. I had trouble making friends and I found myself not being able to concentrate in school. Six months on, I find life isn't so bad, that I now have some great friends here, but then we get told we're having mocks! I got some of my results the other day, I got two As in Physics and Biology which I was really pleased with. (So were my parents!) But I got a D in Chemistry because I wasn't concentrating properly in that lesson, and being talkative, so I know how I can improve there. It's just the two Maths papers that completely flummoxed me. I got an E in the first non calculator paper, and another E in the calculator. I got one of the highest in my class and my teacher seems very pleases with my grade, saying the grades I got were still a pass. (My Dad says I can't do A Level Sciences if I don't do upper tier.) I try really hard in maths and have been trying to concentrate in all the lessons. I've only just been allowed to do upper tier science because they thought I wasn't good enough, although I told them I was, and now because they're mocks and the teacher's in charge of marking the papers I feel like he's marking the papers so the predictions he gave the whole class for they're results they're working towards (He said none of us will get a C) are correct. My parents now know my results and I'm in big trouble at home, because they think I'm just being lazy. But there is a small part of me that says I'm just not good enough for any of this, and should just give up. That same part of me though is telling me that it was my fault I failed. Please help me! I know it's a lot of writing and probably doesn't make sense but please try! This is really getting me down. I really want to go to Columbia in NYC and study law there! Please help me get my grades up to a level where I might have a chance at making something of myself! Thank you for your time!
