Why people are giving only archaeological values to the relics of saints?
Q. They are not kept in ice or herbs or something like that. And there were other people(monks) buryed in the same place as the relics of saints and they have rotted. There is no logical explanation for this. Why people say that there must be an logic explanation ? Is not that a cover for the their wish not to believe? I live in a country where there are relics of saints.So I have more information than people that are not religious.Why many people are telling their opinion even thety don tknow much about it?

A. Such individuals (archaeologists) do not believe in God hence they cannot believe in anything supernatural. However if we are not temples of the Holy Spirit what do we become temples for? These individuals that do not believe in God, better known as atheists, that have become temples of the unholy spirit, cannot rid themselves of the burning questions regarding the origins of life. They look for explanations from a purely human context following the erroneous theories of those who came before; individuals such as Darwin, Huxley and a host of others. Darwin would admit privately that there is no evidence to support his erroneous belief...that's why it remained as a theory. Huxley, on the other hand, a great supporter of Darwin, but much to… [cont.]

How long do people usually have carpet before it wears out and needs to be replaced?
Q. I am curious about how often people usually keep their carpeting in their house. I know some people keep their carpet until it has a few stains and some people keep their carpet until it has spots all over, 'traffic lines', etc. How long do people usually keep their carpet before they replace it? How many years would you figure?

Why do people ask questions of a Philosophical nature and yet applaud a non-philosophical response?
Q. I find more and more that people ask questions that seem like they are philosophical in nature and yet are really questions that do not seek truths, but more seek an opinion that either rivals thier own or cannot be pondered due to the lack of clarity in the question. This is more a question of Human Nature than anything. Is it because people need to feel agreed with? What is it that makes a Phlosophical question viable? Do we ask, just to hear a myriad of answers or are we just curious of other minds? Any answers will do... Just thinking aloud. Answers about people being stupid and like, while recorded and possibly laughed over, will not be taken seriously. And yes, I am well aware of the Irony of the question being in the Philosophy… [cont.]

A. great questions!! This is exactly how i feel about whats happening in this category. I often like to correct ppl's questions either because i feel they are not clear or that they simply make no sense at all. Sometimes i feel that ppl get offended by what i do but I had to do something because some of these questions i saw were just dead confusing. For some reason even when the questions seemed to make sense, the asker didn't expect a rational and logical response instead they wanted an answer that matched their opinion which wasn't related any kind of truth except their own truth - something thats impossible to find out for anyone who does not have the ability to read minds. One thing i would encourage ppl to do is to assess the… [cont.]
