Just to intrude on this conversation for a second, I'd like to introduce the idea that... Well, this really isn't that difficult. All I really need to do is read what the Bible says, compare it with current life and see the astonishing parallels. Let me explain; It is the case that the middle East 'crisis' is at epic proportions at this point in time. Epic because of the world powers involved, do you think there will be a nuclear war? I don't think so, why? Just look at what is prophecised by the Bible. What is currently undertaking is exactly what is deemed to be. The world is closer to a 'one world' government than ever before. The marking of every person with a computer chip inserted into the body is on the verge of a break-through, in fact through some simple research you will find that there are parents who supply their newly borns with such devices currently. Like I said, someone who has knowledge of the Bible can not disregard the parallels, only a couple of which I spoke of above. This should atleast show to everyone that the Bible in its current form has some authority, perhaps even if in your eyes only enough to merely 'start' investigating it. You can't simply keep ignoring facts, or keep stating they are not facts without evidence to support it yourself.

Makes perfect sense, but my parents will be shocked.. atleast. Like i said, I loved it, it felt like home...

When i got back form touring Armenia a year ago, this place did not feel like home anymore. I found myself thinking, perhaps life in Armenia can be good... in its own cicumstances. However, you are right, my parents expect that which they will never get from Armenia anymore, they have not been back for nearly 20 years now, and what they think and how they picture Armenia is not what i saw there. I keep telling my dad, he shouldnt go tour Armenia, because he will not like what he sees, because what he expects to see is not existent anymore.

Vika, my thoughts exactly, and coincedentaly, i was also 21 when i went last summer. The only thing i saw different is the general hospitality, I found a huge black hole kind of lack of it... Great pictures

Well, im glad this person enjoyed the trip, however you can not truthfully enjoy Armenia until you understand its history very well. Also, people with money are people well looked after. This person seemed to have had all the comodities available to him through money.. I found the overall attitudes of the people in Yerevan to be much less extravagent than this article seems to claim. Either way, a well written article.

Here are a couple of more pictures. I really enjoyed Cascad. Ofcourse it was only half way complete in July of '05, but regardless. The dimensions are enormous, the colors are beautiful. Its an awesome landmark. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia789.jpg Looking down from about 100 steps up http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia796.jpg The only thing i found odd wbout it was the statue at the top. Somehow I managed not to take a picture of it, but it was of a bear like creature, naked, male parts and all.. extremely ugly and awkwardly placed. Did not belong. But, luckily you can not see that until you are completely at the top.

So, this is not one person sharin with n people, its all the n persons sharing everyting they know?

Whoa, this thread is still alive... Well, for what its worth.. My truck is alive and well. It was run into a couple of times during the years and re-done. I need new tires for the first time, and new shock absorbers on all 4's. The abuse its taken is crazy, especially for a midsize pickup. Everything is working perfectly fine except the stereo system that somehow I managed to blow up (aftermarket system)... ehh.. haven't used anythign but an ipod for a year anyways. However, i was offroading a couple of months ago and though this certain trail i had been on many times before, I had forgotten there were so many joshua trees around. I came down a curvey hill way to fast, as i was deseprately steering away from the trees and to stay on the trail goin down a very sandy hill.. I managed to get my right rear mudflap shear the the las joshua tree before the end of the trail.. and it ripped half of the wheel well moulding right off. No other damage to the body though. I was thankful, and.. do not regret it at all, it was too much fun. Also, to be able to better afford my commuting costs to college, i am soon getting a civic or a corolla or something.. I can't stand them .. atleast it will be stick shift.

The picture quality is amazing for the price and specifications. Particularly when printing photos below 5X8 dimensioning. Glad you guys enjoyed the pictures.

runga kutta method works fastest, the equation should be on the net somewhere, its been a while, so i dont remember it percisely. edit: Newton's method is good too, most simple to work.

If I may insert a challeng, here is it. A car is travelling at a constant 120 km/h, it passes a cop on a motorcyle and the cop takes .2 seconds to take off after it. With an acceleration of 6 m/s/s, and a maximum speed of 150km/h, how long will it take for the cop to reach the car, and at what distance. I dont know the answer yet, it was a refresher problem in my dynamics course. I have to work it out anyways, lets see how this goes.

I saw a religion topic, I couldn't resist.. I never really left. Thank you for the welcome.

I just noticed this thread, so here we go. I took all of the pictures with a digital camara, i regret greatly tht i Did not take my 35mm wide angle lens camara with B&W film. These are pretty decent though. Noravank, my personal favorit. Most beautiful yet simple architecture I saw in Armenia. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia430.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia335.jpg I was in the metro, and could not help but be sad for all of the people with such bereaved expressions. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia316.jpg Taken at day-break, from village in Artashat.. formerly known as Yuva. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia170.jpg Taken from the ruins of erebuni, above the museum http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/100_1601.jpg This mountain trully is, in an unfilling way, powerful from all angles. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia016.jpg The Mother Church, St. Grigor the Illuminator Church. As I was walking to its entrance on the other side, I looked up just in time to see the Crosses lined up as they aein the picture, I was amazed at how I have never seen this angle in any pictures before, I thought it was magnificant. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia712.jpg I had th pleasure of driving this vehicle, i call it a pleasure because at how rare such a chance is; to feel the sorrows, the shortcomings of one who struggles for the very food he feeds to his family. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia379.jpg This is saxmosavank. I regret that i did not take a picture of its outside walls closeup; the bullet holles, braught the fighting of our ancestors all to vividly to the eyes of my imagination. When you stand there and allo this feeling to come, and deeply think about the past of our ancestors, you simply feel proud of your homeland. Only later for the feeling to be shattered by all the caos you see in teh government, and how people litter without thought. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia162.jpg How could one pass by such a homely scene and not commit it to memory, and share. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/gevork27/Armenia096.jpg I took over 1,000 pictures at Armenia and over 5 hours of video in the 21 days i was there.

While on the topic, how is that book? I have been meaning to read it, only because i found his "DaVinci Code" so entertaining. I just can not understand why people take that story as fact, especially when they pick the book from the "fiction section" of the bookstores..

His knowledge of our future in no way shapes it.

I do not undersand why any affiliate of a church based off of the Bible would have anything to say about a big bang theory of sort. It is clearly written in the Bible how the world came about, and when time had started. The Bible says God always existed, which means time always existed. Ofcourse that can be a confusing conjecture since God is not affected by time, he sees past, present and future in one shot.. regardless. The way I see it we all can come up with some theory, some idea and think its right. I believe only one of the many many claims made by people and various religions can be right, if any. So, St. Augustine, pope this and that.. its simply another person's opinion to me. Without some content to back your claim, one can not pheasably draw a theory from mere observation. George Lemaître's observations were based on content allready a theory itself, even loosely so at the time. So, I do not believe his words bare much weight, perhaps just another interesting idea presented, nothing more.

The confusion does not stem from the Bible, rather it stems from an organization whose ambitions to come to par with the advancing worlds view of religion and life superceed its strive for their whole purpose of existance in the first place. This organization, not alone in this quarrel, is led by people that are part of a greater, much less publicaly spoken, institution. This organization being the modern Catholic Church. If you want to know what the Church, trully defined by the Bible, has to say about this topic, or any for that matter, I suggest reading the fundamental beliefs of the Armenian Mother Church. Ofcourse our new 'catholicos' is no less of a joke than the pope has been for a while now, nonetheless, the readings I suggest are above all of these people. Quebecer, it is one thing for a true "church person" hereafter reffered to as a Christian, to be the originator of such heredity or evolution theories, which has not happened; but it is a different issue when a man claiming or coming from a Christian Church, not a Christian, comes out and speaks out about such theories. How does one tell the difference between the former and the later persons? Thats a different topic, lets speculate though, that we can. Also, I am not familiar with your claim of 'a singular bing bang theory' steming from the church. What is the proof of this? And, I had never heard that theory of the perishing of the dinasaurs, thats kind of comical, but maybe not too far fetched?
