Do female animals have orgasms the way people do?
For the human women who are fortunate enough to have regular orgasms, it's a pleasurable experience. But animals have an innate need to reproduce, so therefore may not seek or require pleasure with the intensity of a human style orgasm. Any thoughts supported by sources and facts?
Do Muslim men ever perform any manual labor? Or do any work at all for that matter?
@ Maksi: Well I have been to Arab countries in the magreb. All the guys I see are sitting around on porches, or sitting in or aroun kiosks drinking coffee, and lots of guys walking in the street and no one, and I mean, not a single arab I see pulling wrench. Which is fine by me, by the way. I hate physical work. But I am just trying to understand if what I saw is a partial view or if it is a good summary of the Arab male.
The Bible explains how Males and Females came about and are compatible but how does the Theory of Evolution?
explain it ? In its first book, Genesis, the Bible relates: “God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it.’” (Genesis 1:27, 28) God placed the first human pair he created, Adam and Eve, in a peaceful and happy garden, called the garden of Eden. They enjoyed ideal living conditions and meaningful work.
Would you agree that polygamy is natural and normal?
Most of the world practices polygamy. Even in North America people practice serial polygamy. (They get married, divorced, and then remarried). Is monogamy merely a social constraint on what seems to be natural human behaviour? What about polyandry?

Question about the evolution of the human brain?
Human intelligence is light years beyond that of the most intelligent animals (crows, chimps, dolphins, elephants, etc.). How can you compare a chimp with a stick to space shuttles, and genetic engineering? Your discussion on the difference between ignorance and lack of intelligence is correct. There are many things like human intelligence, language, morality, music, etc. that are still a great mystery (with only a few weak attempts at explanation). Materialists have faith that science will eventually provide them a way around the "God conclusion," but ID proponents and theists think they are foolish (e.g. Psalm 14:1). There is so much about the brain and the brain-mind relationship that we don’t understand; it is far too complex for us. Even with all of our recent advances in brain research techniques, we still know very little about how it processes information and how it works overall. How do we get from the electrochemical activity of the brain to the richness of the human mind? The mysteries of subjective experience, freewill, memory, reason, imagination, and our sense of self (personality and character) are still very great. Why do we have subjective experience and not just objective existence? Here is something interesting—a typical human brain has about 200 billion nerve cells, which are connected to one another by hundreds of trillions of synapses. Dr. Stephen Smith (a professor of molecular and cell physiology) said in November of 2010, “One synapse, by itself, is more like a microprocessor—with both memory-storage and information-processing elements—than a mere on/off switch. In fact, one synapse may contain on the order of 1,000 molecular-scale switches. A single human brain has more switches than all the computers and routers and Internet connections on Earth” (Single-Synapse Analysis of a Diverse Synapse Population).
