A page with lot's of interresting info on Christmas

I can't really find anything on thanksgiving though.

Genesis 1: 20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 2: 7And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

I refuse to believe a creation story that contradicts it's self. Which one is the real creation?

To answer your question about monkeys, They are still evolving. Everything is still evolving. It's a slow process, especially in mammals and any other complicated organism. None of us will see a monkey evolve into something else in our life times.
They are on a different branch of out genetic family. Just like Neanderthal man which was a species of human that had evolved specialized for the ice age (which is part of the reason why they aren't around anymore.)

If the human race were to go extinct tomorrow the planet, and the rest of the animals on it would be just fine. Some species would be better off with out us.
People can think as highly of them selves as they want. In the long run we don't really matter, we're just a speck of dust on the time scale.

I'm pretty sure they are married in the game. It would be weird for them to be King, and Queen and not married.
In the Disney cartoons I think they are still just dating, like Donald and Daisy.
As far as I know Goofy is the only one to have been married in regular Disney canon.

Dragons, and dragon like creatures are part of every mythology.
The Babylonian goddess Tiamat was a dragon, the Shen-long, Quetzalcoatl, the Hydra, The Midgard serpent, the Basilisk, the Paisa Bird.
All of these are dragons or dragon like creatures, Possibly based on fossils that may have been found. A long time ago people thought diferently than we do today, You have to interprate things from their perspective. There was no study or investigation by ancient people, at best they found something and just made up stories about it. No ancient civilization is talking about dinosaurs when they mention dragons. They are talking about dragons.
The Bible was clearly written by mortal man and not a god of any kind.
If it was the infallible word of God we would not have Genesis contradicting the creation of man.

The early Christian church was all for science and learning, they were the ones who ran the schools, and funded scientific studies. I don't know exactly when they had the massive brain fart that caused them to think science was evil, but I can't help but think if it had never happened Evolution would just be seen as another miracle of god. Why couldn't God, or whatever you want to call it have made evolution?

Thank you, to you and everyone else who commented.

I do need to practice more but I'm such a procrastinator :sweat:.

EDIT: I almost forgot I put some more art up.

It's like looking at the prophecies of Nostodomus, it's all up to interpretation.
Everything there can either be interpreted in another way, or was something that was obvious with out scientific study. Ocean currents, and the jet stream were common knowledge among sea faring people, and people would obviously see there were to many stars to count with out having anyone tell them.
#1 might be talking about a volcano, or any other natural phenomenon that causes fire.
#5 is not talking about dinosaurs at all, it's talking about the leviathan which is about as real as a unicorn. The legends of leviathan may be based on fossils the ancient people might have found just as many other mythological creatures are believed to be, but that is not proof they knew about dinosaurs.

In any case there is no evidence for the world being created in 7 days. Which is what I was talking about. The people for creationisim haven’t even been able to disprove the evidence of evolution.

As long as it is between two consenting adults I think people should be able to marry whom ever they wish.
And if the bigots don't want to let go of their precious word than the government should create something with all the rights and protection of marriage for homosexual unions.
Gay people deserve to be happy just like everyone else.

Pro-choice, a woman should have complete control over her body.
Pregnancy is very taxing on a woman’s body. If the woman does not want to carry the child she should not have to, especially not because of someone else’s moral beliefs.

I put more trust in science, and evolution because it has the evidence religion just can't provide.

If anyone want's a good example of evolution look at a dog. Human controlled evolution, but still evolution. We have taken the wolf, and over time with selective breeding have turned it in the Chihuahua, bulldog, and Great Dane.

Definitely my own opinion here but I see organized religion as an outdated system for controlling an uneducated populace in ancient times. It's a bunch of fairy stories the ancient people used to explain what they could not understand, and in many cases used to justify the slaughter of other peoples. Just the same as the mythologies of the Greeks, Egyptians, Norns.

At the same time I think faith is a very important thing, whether it's in a religion or science. People need something to believe in and hold on to, or what's the point?

With evidence of life on Mars I say definatly.
Many sientist think Europa, One of Jupiter's moons may have liquid water beneath it's ice suface and there for may have some form of life.

Use pictures for reference.
Sometimes even tracing from a coloring book or something can help you improve.
(On a side note: NEVER post any thing traced, It is art theft and you will very likely get caught.)
I started out with tracing, and really studying other art works. (well...really I watched a lot of cartoons..) Till I was able to develop my own stile, and draw with out having to trace at all.
How to Draw books are also a big help. I have several.
Mostly though it comes down to how much you are willing to practice and change your mistakes.

I chose Mickey&Minnie It's one of those timeless things you can't help but love.

Sora/Kairi is sweet and cute but it's kind boring and Cliche' to me. I'll read a good Sora/Kairi fic, and might take a look at some good art, but It's not something I actively look for.

Roxas/Namine is just not something I can't read/write/draw at all. Like others have said it's just Sora/Kairi 2.0. I think it's a bit depressing that they might have to love each other because of Sora and Kairi. They don't even know each other.
Also, and this one it only me, I think of them more as twins separated at birth than potential love interest.

I've been a Tifa/Cloud fan since I first played FFVII, I think Aerith belongs with Zack, who was unfortunately not included in KH.
To be completely honest though I think Cloud is to obsessed with defeating Sephiroth to ever get into a relationship with anyone. He's kinda like Batman that way.

Limbs are another week point for me, Thank you I'll try that on my next drawing.

It's same way with me. I think it's better to take a long time to do something, than to do it quickly and find a million mistakes when you've finished.

Oh no.... We're geting into math now :cryinganime:. I think I get it though. One more question before I stop being dumb, do they have an FAQ with info on this?

EDIT: never mind I found it! Now I can get confused without bugging people. :D

EDIT2: Thank you for your help!

Oh, I see, I think.. What happens if you get negative reputation?

Ok, I see what your saying. For me I have to see what the personality of the character is before I can pair them up with anyone. Probably one of the reasons why I'm not to into the hinted canon parings, cause there are some characters I want to pair with so many people.

People pair the knights already?...But we don't really know anything about them but their names yet...

What is that? I've head paople stuff like that but I have no idea what it means.

Oh, The quote button? I just use the post reply button all the time.

Anyway, back on topic I thought of another paring I don't read/write/draw
Marluxia/Namine, It's just screams non-con at me and thats not really my thing, I'm a sappy, happy ending kind of person and I just don't see it happening in that paring.
I love Marluxia, but I can only really see him pared with Larxene.

Good for you. What does that have to do with my comment to Aqua?
