Given Unlimited Resources, What Scientific or Medical Problem Would You Investigate?

            Given unlimited resources I would research and try to find a solution to a problem that man have been trying to solve since the beginning of time… How do women think? All men know that women are one of the most puzzling, confusing, and befuddling creatures in the entire universe. To get inside of the minds of women and understand how they think would be one of the greatest breakthroughs for mankind since the invention of the wheel. I probably would be awarded a Nobel Prize for my findings and become very wealthy.
The benefits for this astonishing scientific achievement would be limitless. Married men everywhere would feel safe in their own homes knowing that their wives wouldn’t be on them telling them to do this or that because he could think like her and do them without being badgered. Or possibly the gentleman who just doesn’t have much luck attracting a mate would know what they want in a mate and be able to say all the right things significantly increasing his probability to pass his genes on to the next generation and ensuring the survival of his species. One could know how to cheer up their loved one when she is feeling down or depressed and know what chocolates and ice-cream she will need to help get over her problem.

Can You Be Good Without God?

            This is probably the one of the most controversial questions that has ever been asked. I have had many arguments with my religious friends over the topic of if someone can be a good person and not be a believer. Personally, I believe that one does not have to be a religious extremist to be a good person. An atheist can do charity work or help people just like a religious person can or an atheist can be kind and helpful to others. Should these qualities be ignored just because they do not believe what other people believe? Not every person that is not affiliated with a Christian religion should be considered bad people and in fact a lot of the people that I know go to church are worse people than most the non-religious people I know. In my mind if there are two people, one religious and one not religious, and they both work at the same charity, doing the same job, and work the same amount of hours I see both of these people as equals. If one is religious or not should not be a factor in determining if someone is either a good person or not a good person.
