For many people, retirement means that there's finally time to take advantage of newfound freedom. If that definition of retirement appeals to you, an ideal destination when you leave the workforce may be Thailand.
Known as "Land of Smiles," the country has undergone significant social and economic development in the past decade. In 2011, the World Bank upgraded the nation's income categorization from a lower-middle income economy to upper-middle income.
"Thailand boasts a very favorable cost of living structure for retirees," Jonathan Galaviz, Chief Economist at the Galaviz & Co. consultancy said in an e-mail. "The US dollar, even with its lower global value, still goes a long way."
The tropical climate and low cost of living make Thailand an enticing destination. However, there are many other things the prospective expatriate will want to know in order to make an informed decision.
CNBC.com consulted the Tourism Authority of Thailand, retirement experts, consulting specialists and others to gain insight into the nation's economy, health care resources and other issues that retirees should weigh when relocating. Read ahead to find out more about making Thailand your own retirement haven.

Windows XP is 12 years old—that's pretty old for an operating system.
In the past 12 years you've probably gotten a new phone, maybe a new TV, and possibly even a new car. Maybe it's time for a new PC too, so you can make sure you have more memory and storage, faster processing speeds, and a higher-quality display (some even come with touch). And they're less expensive than you might think.
We support our older operating systems much longer than most other businesses in this industry, but we can't keep supporting old operating systems and still move forward creating new and better products. We've been supporting Windows XP for the past 12 years—that's longer than we've supported any other operating system in our history and already two years longer than the standard ten years of support we normally provide. It's time for us to look ahead so we can create better products and services for you and all our customers.
We encourage you to learn more here about what end of support means, but in the end you have two options:
While it's true that you can keep using your PC with Windows XP after support ends, we don't recommend it. For starters, it'll become five times more vulnerable to security risks and viruses, which means you could get hacked and have your personal information stolen. Also, companies that make devices like digital cameras, Internet-ready TVs, and printers won't provide drivers that work with Windows XP, so if you get new devices, they won't work with your current PC. And over time, the security and performance of your PC will just continue to degrade so things will only get worse.
Windows Internet Explorer 8 is also no longer supported, so if you use it (or any other browser) to surf the web, you might be exposing your PC to additional threats. Microsoft has also stopped providing Microsoft Security Essentials
for download on Windows XP. To find out what this means, see "Will I still be protected if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?" later on this page.
If you don't like the idea of your data and personal information being hacked, or your PC's just not working like it used to, consider moving to Windows 8.1.
PCs that are still running Windows XP have been around for many years, but there's still a slim chance some of them might meet the system requirements for Windows 8.1. To find out, try the Upgrade Advisor—it's free, and it'll tell you if you can run Windows 8.1 on your current PC.
If your PC is good to go, you can review and print the Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows Vista or Windows XP tutorial. It'll walk you through all of the steps.
You'll be amazed at what a computer can do today.
These days, PCs for Windows are a lot less expensive (and a lot more powerful) than they used to be. In fact, new Windows 8.1 PCs are 37% less expensive than computers running Windows XP were in 2002. *
* IDC Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker report, Q4 2013
No, you will not be protected.
Microsoft Security Essentials
is no longer available for download on Windows XP, for starters, but even if you already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, you still won't be protected—even though you'll continue to receive antimalware signature updates for a limited time. This is because Microsoft Security Essentials (or any other third-party antivirus software for that matter) will have limited effectiveness on PCs that do not have the latest security updates. What does this mean for you? That your PC running Windows XP will not be secure and will still be at risk for infection.
There's a lot about Windows 8.1 that'll feel familiar if you've been using Windows XP, but like anything new, you'll need to take some time to get up to speed. To help you out, there's a
Windows 8.1 tutorial
that has all of the basic info you need to get started. Once you understand the basics, you'll be able to get around with ease. There's also a Help+tips app that comes with Windows 8.1, plus a lot of specific
support topics here on Windows.com
in case you get stuck on something. You can also get help in person at Microsoft retail stores (where you can also take free classes), in the Answers forums, or by calling our Support team.
Windows 8.1 works great whether you use touch or use a mouse and keyboard—or both. Windows 8.1 detects what you're using to type, click, tap, and scroll, so the interactions are optimized for the way you naturally work. Get more info in the Windows 8.1 tutorial: Getting around your PC. Windows 8.1 also brings you many of the familiar things you love from Windows XP: the desktop, the taskbar, the Start button, and even keyboard shortcuts all work the way you're used to.
You have a few options when it comes to moving your files. One option is to move them to an external hard drive, and then move them onto your new PC. Another option is to use the LapLink Express tool—it's available for free if you decide to buy a new PC. With LapLink Express, all you need is your PC running Windows XP, your new Windows 8.1 PC, and an Internet connection. Learn more and get LapLink—it's free.
Most programs and games that work on Windows XP will work on Windows 8.1, though you might need to install updated versions of your programs and games to match the processor of your new Windows 8.1 PC. For example, if your PC running Windows XP has a 32-bit processor, and your new Windows 8.1 PC has a 64-bit processor, you'll need to install the 64-bit version of your program or game on your new PC.
You can look up specific titles in the Compatibility Center if you want to make sure they'll work.
If you decide to get Windows 8.1, the Program Compatibility Assistant will let you know if there's a problem with one of your favorite programs or games. Learn more about the Program Compatibility Assistant.
And keep in mind that in some cases, you might not need to reinstall all your old software because many computer manufacturers include great software that comes preinstalled on their latest PC offerings.
Glad you asked. Check out the tips on this page: How to make Windows 8.1 feel more familiar.
If you're feeling hesitant about Windows 8.1, we encourage you to walk through some of the information and videos in the Getting started tutorial so you can see what it's like. Or, pop in to a Microsoft Store and try it out in person before making a decision.
Find the Microsoft store nearest you
If you want person-to-person assistance, call Microsoft Customer Support at 1-877-696-7786. Our support team can answer questions about Windows XP support ending, or help you find a new PC.

Let's you and me/I
Is it correct to say "Let's you and I" or "Let's you and me"?
Sort by
Personally, I think it's redundant. Without the contraction, the phrase would be, "Let us you and I/me." With "us," there really is no need for "you and I/me."
If one is bent on using the phrase, though, I would think that "you and me" would be correct. "Us" is an objective pronoun, as is "me."
I still would never use it, though.
4 votes • Permalink • Report Abuse
I think, us is simply an objective pronoun as is me. It should be "let's, you and me', not 'you and I'. An appositive should be of the same type. We can, for example say: "We, you and I, comment on this point."
In the same way, we say, She asks us, you and me.
In Eliot's lines, the use of "you and I" is just to rhyme with "sky", and this is possible in poetry.
All the best
No poetic lisence here, just rules from me:
You and me = us
You and I = we
"let us go, you and me".
Seems to be correct. Where.
"Shall we go, you and i",
be another way of saying it. But "Let us go, you and I" would apear to be incorrect onthe face of it...
see this pedandtic page for detials ;)
That's a great question. I would say "Let's you and me". I can't say which is correct, but I was taught that you should be able to remove the other person from the statement and it should still make sense.
In this case, it actually reads "Let us", so removing "us" and "you" it should read "Let me", not "Let I". I could be way off, but that makes sense to me.
LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table....
- T.S. Eliot, Love Song of Alfred Prufrock.
"Let us you and I" is incorrect. "you and I" here is an appositive, so it should be "Let us, you and I." You and I serve to explain "us."
Come on now, poetic examples are pretty much irrelevant to grammar, usage, etc. ee cummings used weird punctuation and capitalization to create various stream-of-consciousness moods. Does that mean that no one should ever use capital letters again?
I think it was Carl Sandberg who wrote a poem arranged on the paper to look like a brick wall. So, now geometry is part of grammar, too?
Lewis Caroll just plain made up, I dunno, a few dozen words in the poem, Jabberwocky. So, now it's standard English to completely make up your own words out of thin air?
William Shakespeare couldn't spell his name the same way twice, even in the same document. "Standard" spelling hardly existed back then.
Great poets and writers are revered because of the ideas, thoughts, and feelings they convey, and the way they convey them, not because they're good grammarians. Many great works, even by expert wordsmiths who delight on turning a phrase just so, are created by throwing the "rule book" out the window, usually, intentionally.
Holding up famous writers, especially poets, as bastions of good grammar just seems to me to be completely misguided.
As I see it, "Let's you and I" is the more grammatically correct form, since the word in question is the subject of a sentence, and 'me' can never be a subject.
As far as throwing out the rulebook on grammar goes, my cousin made a statement the other day that was actually quite enlightening:
"You can break any rule you want, provided you can explain what the rule is and why you're breaking it."
That rather sums it up, I'd say. I've always preferred poetry to grammar anyway.
I amend that.
I was correct in saying that 'me' can never be a subject. I was incorrect in assuming that the word in question was a subject.
The sentence begins with the imperative "Let", making "us" a direct object, and, by extension, "you and *me*".
I apologise for that show of carelessness. That was completely my fault for being to hasty.
"'Let us you and I' is incorrect."
Yes indeed.
Grammatical pedantry is so much more important to the English language than something as inconsequential as the evocative lyricism of T.S. Eliot's epic poem.
"Grammatical pedantry is so much more important..."
Um, isn't the question here which is grammatically correct? If so, then saying that something in a poem by T.S. Eliot is grammatically incorrect shouldn't really merit a stinging rebuke, should it? It's not as though "Six" came in with this during a discussion of poetry, for crying out loud. Or are you suggesting that if a poet makes a grammatical error, then the poetry overpowers grammar and it the error is no longer an error?
HG: Grammatical rules can be discovered by examining how the language is used. They do not exist independently of how the language is used.
I don't know what the evidence is on "let's you and I", but looking at the relevant evidence is the first step is determining whether it is grammatical.
I'm not how relevant Eliot's poem is here, since he didn't write "Let us you and I", he wrote "Let us, you and I" which in fact conforms with Six's analysis.
Porsche: "Holding up famous writers, especially poets, as bastions of good grammar just seems to me to be completely misguided."
Maybe not poets. But surely the works of good prose writers are the first place we should look for deciding how to write good prose.
I've never understood the notion that good writers are allowed break the rules. Does that mean the rest of us can only strive for mediocrity? It makes more sense to say that if good writers break a rule, something's rule with the rule, not the writers.
Natalie, I see that you and Jenna posted at exactly the same time. I think she detailed the reasoning you were seeking. I would take issue with one thing, though. "Let's you and me..." isn't necessarily redundant. Let's uncompress it into "Let us, you and me, ...". It could be understood that "you and me" is adding specificity. "Let us..." by itself, might be ambiguous. It could be you, me, and everyone else. "You and me" is just the two of us. Also, "let you and me...", or just "let you..." is awkward and isn't really used. "let you..." is reflexive and should be "let yourself...". Without the "us", there isn't an elegant way to include just you and me.
Of course "you and me" is redundant.
But that doesn't make it wrong.
Languages commonly employ redundancy as a means of emphasis.
I noticed that too, us posting at the same time. Great points, thank you for clarifying some things for me. I had thought about that later, "you and me" adding specificity, and in that case it wouldn't seem redundant.
I need answers not arguments...which is correct? "You and i know wat we're refering to" OR "You and me know wat we're refering to"! Answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no way I would ever change my classic Corvette, but if I did, I would do something with the engine. The words are the same from a number of my clients, but their reasons for saying them vary. If you've just tuned in, this is the second in a series of articles. Your author is a Corvette restoration shop owner and longtime NCRS member. The National Corvette Restorer's Society is dedicated to the restoration, preservation, history, and enjoyment of Corvettes-a credo that I am honored to be a part of and bound to help promote. This series is designed to show Corvette owners how they can enjoy their classic, but at the same time preserve it. I was inspired to write this series after talking with a number of people (some of my clients included) that have achieved a Top Flight or Duntov award, and are now afraid to drive their car for fear of hurting an original component, especially an original numbers-matching engine. So they don't, and their Corvette sits in their highly decorated garage shrine and gets a new desiccant bag inserted into the hermetically sealed car bag every month. This is not, in my opinion, what Corvette ownership is all about. This segment also addresses the questions an owner has prior to the restoration of his or her Corvette that is, something we can't deny, outdated. So ride along and look at some options that will help inspire you to pump up your tires and wad up your car cover. If you couldn't care less about originality and numbers, climb aboard as well; maybe you'll see something you haven't seen before. A word of qualification: There is nothing here that can't be put back to stock should you wish to.
The first segment of this series focused on the installation of a five-speed transmission, something that will certainly enhance the drivability of your car as well as help to preserve your engine by slowing down the highway rpms. We'll now look at more direct ways of preserving your original engine either through substitution by actually putting your entire engine into storage, or by installing more modern up-to-date parts into it to add to its life. Such parts will deal with the changing environment of today. How can a true NCRS member tout anything about changing parts on a true Top Flight car? That's like the chairman of Ford motor company driving a Corvette to work every day. Well, my guess is that Bill Ford wishes he could. Read on and I'll explain. The "bag and tag" approach is the answer to the owner that has a very valuable engine and cannot risk a failure that will render it inoperable, or worse, unrepairable. I have heard the stories, and maybe you have too, about a 283 that was cruising down the highway at 65 mph when suddenly a rod went through the side of the block. That original code-correct engine just became a doorstop. I had a rocker stud pull out of my '63 340 horse engine while driving down the highway-same type situation, but at least mine was repairable. We can preserve history and still enjoy our classic cars with replacement engines under the hood while we sock away our originals.

A government program designed to cover all residents of a political region.< read all 24 reviews
Universal health care is health care coverage for all eligible residents of a political region and often covers medical, dental and mental health care. These programs vary in their structure and funding mechanisms. Typically, most costs are met via a single-payer health care system or national health insurance, or else by compulsory regulated pluralist insurance (public, private or mutual) meeting certain regulated standards. Universal health care is implemented in all but one of the wealthy, industrialized countries, with the exception being the United States. It is also provided in many developing countries and is the trend worldwide.
Universal health care is a broad concept that has been implemented in several ways. The common denominator for all such programs is some form of government action aimed at extending access to health care as widely as possible and setting minimum standards. Most implement universal health care through legislation, regulation and taxation. Legislation and regulation direct what care must be provided, to whom, and on what basis. Usually some costs are borne by the patient at the time of consumption but the bulk of costs come from a combination of compulsory insurance and tax revenues. Some programs are paid for entirely out of tax revenues. In some cases, government involvement also includes directly managing the health care system, but many countries use mixed public-private systems to deliver universal health care

One of our world's most stunning features, they cover more than 70 percent of the planet, comprise 99 percent of its habitable space, and house the greatest diversity of major plant, animal, and microbial species, from the simplest to the mightiest on earth.
Their importance to all life cannot be underestimated. Oceans regulate the climate, produce half of the earth's breathable oxygen, and are a huge source of food. For the one billion coastal humans who depend directly upon them, the oceans are life itself.
And because of some pretty careless industrial human activity, our oceans are in a lot of trouble right now.
We've made significant progress to turn the tide towards ocean conservation, but a lot more needs to be done in a short time. By working together, we can save the oceans.
The problems taxing the ocean are caused directly by what's available at the seafood counter. As demand for fish grows, destructive fishing and aquaculture continue to increase to meet the demand. We are working to change seafood choices made at a wholesale level by working with supermarket retailers to make sustainable seafood the only choice available. Read more
Tuna is one of the world's favorite fish. It provides a critical part of the diet for millions of people, as well as being at the core of the world's luxury sashimi markets. But, did you know that globally tuna stocks are under threat, or that the tuna industry is one of the main drivers behind the shark fin trade?/p>
Our appetite for tuna is pushing several species of sharks, turtles, and tuna closer and closer to extinction. As more and more people consume tuna there has been a surge in the number and capacity of tuna-fishing vessels across the world. Read more
A few countries, namely Japan, Norway and Iceland, continue to ignore a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling—every year they kill thousands of whales to feed a black market of illegal whale meat.
For more than 40 years Greenpeace has been at the forefront of the fight to end this needless slaughter of one the most magnificent creatures on the planet. We are working to ensure that the Obama administration uses their diplomatic leverage to close the loopholes and end all commercial whaling. Read more
The waters of the Bering Sea-—between Alaska and Russia— are a rich marine environment that's home to a diverse array of wildlife. Polar bears, seals, sea lions, walruses, whales and millions of seabirds make their home here.
The Bering Sea is also one of the most productive fishing spots in the world. But, the fragile ecosystem cannot sustain this level of commercial fishing without paying a price. Read more
In order to protect the world's oceans, portions of it have to be left alone. A marine reserve is like putting a giant "Do Not Disturb" sign around an area of the ocean. These protected areas are so important to the future of our oceans—giving wildlife a safe haven free from danger.
We are working to convince governments and the United Nations that marine reserves are critical to the oceans' future. We are advocating for setting aside 40% of the world's oceans as marine reserves. Read more

EastPlains Mental Health Center; Julia Goldthorpe, Levittown. Thrift Shop volunteer. Nassau County Executive Ralph G. Caso today announced the county will use its federal revenue sharing allocation for the first six months of 1973 to help maintain and expand services to the taxpayers in seven major program areas. Caso said the $6,995,230 due the county will be expended in the areas of public safety, environmental protection, public t r a n s p o r t a t i o n , h e a l t h, .recreation, library services and social services for the aged and poor. "The county feels that by apportioning federal revenue sharing in this manner, it will best meet the needs of its con-stiuents," Caso stated. "The categories involved cover a wide range of programs that benefit all segments of but" population. "By allocating a good portion of the money to help maintain existing services, we are living up to not only the letter, but the spirit of the federal revenue sharing program," he added. "Certainly, it will help us attain the prime goal of stabilizing county taxes." \ Caso, who lobbied extensively in Washington last year for passage of federal revenue sharing, called the program "a milestone in federal, state and local government relations in the 20th century." He said the county's revenue sharing funds for the six month period ending June 30 will be used primarily to support human service programs, all within the high priority expenditure areas authorized by the federal rules and regulations of the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972. In the area of public safety, the county will spend $1,566,932 to partially finance the activities of the Medical Examiner's office, the Fire Commission and the Office of Consumer Affairs. The allocation of $1,524,960 to environmental protection will, provide basic support for the N a s s a u E n v i r o n m e n t al Management.

The largest functional area expenditure - $1,951,669 for health - will serve to support the Nassau Health Department's ambulatory care centers now in low income areas. Caso pointed out that the allocation will help to further improve the range of public health services available at the centers. In the area of recreation, $209,857 is scheduled tax for the Office of Cultural Development to organize and produce more than 240 concert, dance and theatrical programs for county .residents. The $244,833 slated for library services will be expended to support both the development ©* the Nassau Central Reference Library at Mitchel Field and the Nassau Library System.

Levine said that the measure implements' an improved funding formula which will encourage greater participation by localities to provide a vast scope of programs for the treatment of all forms of mental disabilities. "Communities will now be able to make better utilization of the combined resources of State and county government for the planning, delivery, and financing of mental health services," said Assemblyman Levine. "While the law is purely permissive, the major problem of cost effect on local government will be minimized and most counties will be able to provide residents with improved programs at the same amount of money. This will also allow more individuals to remain in the community rather than being forced into State institutions," concluded Assemblyman Levine. The Unified Services plan can be adopted and initiated in New York City on or after July 1,1974 and,., in the rest of the State, on or after Jan. 1, 1975. The plan is purely permissive and if a county chooses to participate in a unified and fully integrated State andAoeatanental health program, three guidelines must be followed. (Continued on Page 10)

Incredible day for MMA. I'm shocked that Weidman pulled off the upset - I've always maintained that he deserved the shot but thought that Silva would crush him.
I don't believe that there was anything suspect about the finish: Silva simply ate a shot that was harder than he'd anticipated which took his legs out and the shots on the ground did the rest. I also don't think his clowning was anything out of the ordinary. If he'd recovered and gone on to win the fight nobody would have read anything into it.
Massive congratulations to Weidman for doing what had seemed to be impossible for so long.

Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) or deities. In relation to the creation-evolution controversy the term creationism (or strict creationism) is commonly used to refer to religiously-motivated rejection of evolution as an explanation of origins.
Such beliefs include young Earth creationism, proponents of which believe that the earth is thousands rather than billions of years old. They believe the days in Genesis Chapter 1 are 24 hours in length, while Old Earth creationism accepts geological findings and other methods of dating the earth and believes that these findings do not contradict the Genesis account, but reject evolution. The term theistic evolution has been coined to refer to beliefs in creation which are more compatible with the scientific view of evolution and the age of the Earth. Alternately, there are other religious people who support creation, but in terms of allegorical interpretations of Genesis.
Creationism in the West is usually based on creation according to Genesis, and in its broad sense covers a wide range of beliefs and interpretations. Through the 19th century the term most commonly referred to direct creation of individual souls, in contrast to traducianism. However, by 1929 in the United States the term became particularly associated with Christian fundamentalist opposition to human evolution and belief in a young Earth. Several U.S. states passed laws against the teaching of evolution in public schools, as upheld in the Scopes Trial. Evolution was omitted entirely from school textbooks in much of the United States until the 1960s. Since then, renewed efforts to introduce teaching creationism in American public schools in the form of flood geology, creation science, and intelligent design have been consistently held to contravene the constitutional separation of Church and State by a succession of legal judgements. The meaning of the term creationism was contested, but by the 1980s it had been co-opted by proponents of creation science and flood geology.
When scientific research produces conclusions which contradict a creationist interpretation of scripture, the strict creationist approach is either to reject the conclusions of the research, its underlying scientific theories, and/or its methodology. For this reason, both creation science and intelligent design have been labeled as pseudoscience by the mainstream scientific community. The most notable disputes concern the effects of evolution on the development of living organisms, the idea of common descent, the geologic history of the Earth, the formation of the solar system, and the origin of the universe.
In a Christian context, many creationists adopt a literal interpretation of the Biblical creation narratives. This literal interpretation requires the harmonisation of the two creation stories, Genesis 1:1-2:3 and Genesis 2:4-25, which require interpretation to be consistent. They sometimes seek to ensure that their belief is taught in science classes, mainly in American schools (see Young Earth Creationism, for example). Opponents reject the claim that the literalistic Biblical view meets the criteria required to be considered scientific.
Many religious sects teach that God created the cosmos. From the days of the early Christian Church Fathers there were allegorical interpretations of Genesis as well as literal aspects. Most contemporary Christian leaders and scholars from mainstream churches, such as Anglicans and Lutherans, reject reading the Bible as though it could shed light on the physics of creation instead of the spiritual meaning of creation. According to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, "[for] most of the history of Christianity there's been an awareness that a belief that everything depends on the creative act of God, is quite compatible with a degree of uncertainty or latitude about how precisely that unfolds in creative time.
Leaders of the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches have made statements in favour of evolutionary theory, as have scholars such as John Polkinghorne, who argue that evolution is one of the principles through which God created living beings. Earlier supporters of evolutionary theory include Frederick Temple, Asa Gray and Charles Kingsley who were enthusiastic supporters of Darwin's theories upon their publication, and the French Jesuit priest and geologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin saw evolution as confirmation of his Christian beliefs, despite condemnation from Church authorities for his more speculative theories. Another example is that of Liberal theology, not providing any creation models, but instead focusing on the symbolism in beliefs of the time of authoring Genesis, the cultural environment, and comparison to non-Jewish "cosmologies" of that age. In fact, both Jews and Christians had been considering the idea of the creation history as an allegory (instead of an historical description) long before the development of Darwin's theory of evolution. Two notable examples are Saint Augustine (4th century) who argued on theological grounds that everything in the universe was created by God in the same instant (and not in seven days as a plain account of Genesis would require); and the 1st century Jewish scholar Philo of Alexandria, who wrote that it would be a mistake to think that creation happened in six days, or in any set amount of time.
In the United States, more than in the rest of the world, creationism has become centered in the political controversy over creation and evolution in public education, and whether teaching creationism in science classes conflicts with the separation of church and state. Currently, the controversy comes in the form of whether advocates of the Intelligent Design movement who wish to "Teach the Controversy" in science classes have conflated science with religion.
In such political contexts, creationists argue that their particular religiously-based origin belief is superior to those of other belief systems, in particular those made through secular or scientific rationale. Political creationists are opposed by many individuals and organizations who have made detailed critiques and given testimony in various court cases that the alternatives to scientific reasoning offered by creationists are opposed by the consensus of the scientific community.
In response to the second century Gnostic belief that Genesis was purely allegorical, Christian orthodoxy rejected this interpretation without taking a purely literal view of the texts. Thus Origen believed that the physical world is 'literally' a creation of God, but did not take the chronology or the days as 'literal'. Similarly, Saint Basil in the fourth century while literal in many ways, described creation as instantaneous and timeless, being immeasurable and indivisible.
Augustine of Hippo in The Literal Meaning of Genesis was insistent that Genesis describes the creation of physical things, but also shows creation occurring simultaneously, with the days of creation being categories for didactic reasons, a logical framework which has nothing to do with time. For him, light was the illumination of angels rather than visible light, and spiritual light was just as literal as physical light. Augustine emphasised that the text was difficult to understand and should be reinterpreted as new knowledge became available. In particular, Christians should make not make absurd dogmatic interpretations of scripture which contradict what people know from physical evidence.
In the thirteenth century Thomas Aquinas, like Augustine, asserted the need to hold the truth of Scripture without wavering while cautioning "that since Holy Scripture can be explained in a multiplicity of senses, one should not adhere to a particular explanation, only in such measure as to be ready to abandon it if it be proved with certainty to be false; lest holy Scripture be exposed to the ridicule of unbelievers, and obstacles be placed to their believing."
Discoveries of new lands brought knowledge of a huge diversity of life, and a new belief developed that each of these biological species had been individually created by God. In 1605 Francis Bacon emphasised that the works of God in nature teach us how to interpret the word of God in the Bible, and his Baconian method introduced the empirical approach which became central to modern science. Natural theology developed the study of nature with the expectation of finding evidence supporting Christianity, and numerous attempts were made to reconcile new knowledge with Noah's Flood.
In 1650 the Archbishop of Armagh, James Ussher, published the Ussher chronology based on Bible history giving a date for Creation of 4004 BC. This was generally accepted, but the development of modern geology in the 18th and 19th centuries found geological strata and fossil sequences indicating an ancient Earth. Catastrophism was favoured in England as supporting the Biblical flood, but this was found to be untenable and by 1850 all geologists and most Evangelical Christians had adopted various forms of old Earth creationism, while continuing to firmly reject evolution.
By the start of the twentieth century, evolution was widely accepted and was beginning to be taught in U.S. public schools. After World War I, stories that German aggression resulted from Darwinismus promoting "survival of the fittest" inspired William Jennings Bryan to campaign against the teaching of Darwinian ideas of human evolution. In the 1920s, the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy led to an upsurge of fundamentalist religious fervor in which schools were prevented from teaching evolution through state laws such as Tennessee's 1925 Butler Act, and by getting evolution removed from biology textbooks nationwide. Creationism became associated in common usage with opposition to evolution.
In 1981 the state of Arkansas passed a law, Act 590, mandating that "creation science" be given equal time in public schools with evolution, and defining creation science as positing the "creation of the universe, energy, and life from nothing," as well as explaining the earth's geology by "the occurrence of a worldwide flood". This was ruled unconstitutional at McLean v. Arkansas in January 1982 as the creationists' methods were not scientific but took the literal wording of the Book of Genesis and attempted to find scientific support for it. Undaunted, Louisiana introduced similar legislation that year. A series of judgements and appeals led to the 1987 Supreme Court ruling in Edwards v. Aguillard that it too violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
"Creation science" could no longer be taught in public schools, and in drafts of the creation science school textbook Of Pandas and People all references to creation or creationism were changed to refer to intelligent design. Proponents of the intelligent design movement organised widespread campaigning to considerable effect. They officially denied any links to creation or to religion, and indeed claimed that "creationism" only referred to young Earth creationism with flood geology; but in Kitzmiller v. Dover the court found intelligent design to be essentially religious, and unable to dissociate itself from its creationist roots, as part of the ruling that teaching intelligent design in public school science classes was unconstitutional.
Theistic evolution is the general view that, instead of faith being in opposition to biological evolution, some or all classical religious teachings about Christian God and creation are compatible with some or all of modern scientific theory, including specifically evolution; it is also known as "evolutionary creation". In Evolution Vs. Creationism, Eugenie Scott and Niles Eldredge state that it is in fact a type of evolution.
It generally views evolution as a tool used by God, who is both the first cause and immanent sustainer/upholder of the universe; it is therefore well accepted by people of strong theistic (as opposed to deistic) convictions. Theistic evolution can synthesize with the day-age interpretation of the Genesis creation account; however most adherents consider that the first chapters of Genesis should not be interpreted as a "literal" description, but rather as a literary framework or allegory.
In one form or another, theistic evolution is the view of creation taught at the majority of mainline Protestant seminaries For Catholics, human evolution is not a matter of religious teaching, and must stand or fall on its own scientific merits. Evolution and the Roman Catholic Church are not in conflict. The Catechism of the Catholic Church comments positively on the theory of evolution, which is neither precluded nor required by the sources of faith, stating that scientific studies "have splendidly enriched our knowledge of the age and dimensions of the cosmos, the development of life-forms and the appearance of man. Roman Catholic schools teach evolution without controversy on the basis that scientific knowledge does not extend beyond the physical, and scientific truth and religious truth cannot be in conflict. Theistic evolution can be described as "creationism" in holding that divine intervention brought about the origin of life or that divine Laws govern formation of species, though many creationists (in the strict sense) would deny that the position is creationism at all. In the creation-evolution controversy its proponents generally take the "evolutionist" side. This sentiment was expressed by Fr. George Coyne, (Vatican's chief astronomer between 1978 and 2006):
While supporting the methodological naturalism inherent in modern science, the proponents of theistic evolution reject the implication taken by some atheists that this gives credence to ontological materialism. In fact, many modern philosophers of science, including atheists, refer to the long standing convention in the scientific method that observable events in nature should be explained by natural causes, with the distinction that it does not assume the actual existence or non-existence of the supernatural.
Several attempts have been made to categorize the different types of creationism, and create a "taxonomy" of creationists. Creationism covers a spectrum of beliefs which have been categorized into the broad types listed below. As a matter of popular belief and characterizations by the media, most people labeled "creationists" are those who object to specific parts of science for religious reasons; however many (if not most) people who believe in a divine act of creation do not categorically reject those parts of science.

This view is held by many Protestant Christians in the USA. It is also estimated that 47% of Americans hold this view, and almost 10% of Christian colleges teach it. The Christian organizations Institute for Creation Research (ICR), El Cajon, California, USA, and the Creation Research Society (CRS), Saint Joseph, Missouri, USA both promote Young Earth Creationism. Another organization with similar views, Answers in Genesis (AIG) Ministries based in the Greater Cincinnati area, has opened a Creation Museum to promote Young Earth Creationism. Among Catholics, the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation promotes similar ideas.
Old-Earth creationism itself comes in at least four types:
Thus, the six days of creation (verse 3 onwards) start sometime after the Earth was "without form and void." This allows an indefinite "gap" of time to be inserted after the original creation of the universe, but prior to creation week (when present biological species and humanity were created). Gap theorists can therefore agree with the scientific consensus regarding the age of the Earth and universe, while maintaining a literal interpretation of the biblical text.
Some gap theorists expand the basic theory by proposing a "primordial creation" of biological life within the "gap" of time. This is thought to be "the world that then was" mentioned in 2 Peter 3:3-7. Discoveries of fossils and archaeological ruins older than 10,000 years are generally ascribed to this "world that then was", which may also be associated with Lucifer's rebellion. These views became popular with publications of Hebrew Lexicons such as the Strong's Concordance, and Bible commentaries such as the Scofield Reference Bible and the Companion Bible.
Strictly speaking, day-age creationism is not so much a creationist theory as a hermeneutic option which may be combined with theories such as progressive creationism.
Progressive creationism can be held in conjunction with hermeneutic approaches to Genesis chapter 1 such as the day-age theory or framework/metaphoric/poetic views.
This view of natural history runs counter to current scientific understanding, is unsupported by peer-reviewed articles in respected scientific journals, and is considered pseudoscience.
One of its principal claims is that ostensibly objective orthodox science is actually a dogmatically atheistic religion. Its proponents argue that the scientific method excludes certain explanations of phenomena, particularly where they point towards supernatural elements. They argue that this effectively excludes any possible religious insight from contributing to a scientific understanding of the universe. Neo-Creationists also argue that science, as an "atheistic enterprise," is at the root of many of contemporary society's ills including social unrest and family breakdown.
The most recognized form of Neo-Creationism in the United States is the Intelligent Design movement. Unlike their philosophical forebears, Neo-Creationists largely do not believe in many of the traditional cornerstones of creationism such as a young Earth, or in a dogmatically literal interpretation of the Bible. Common to all forms of Neo-Creationism is a rejection of naturalism, usually made together with a tacit admission of supernaturalism, and an open and often hostile opposition to what they term "Darwinism", which generally is meant to refer to evolution.
Intelligent design (ID) is the claim that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.". All of its leading proponents are associated with the Discovery Institute, a think tank whose Wedge strategy aims to replace the scientific method with "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions" which accepts supernatural explanations. It is widely accepted in the scientific and academic communities that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and some have even begun referring to it as "intelligent design creationism".
ID originated as a re-branding of creation science in an attempt to get round a series of court decisions ruling out the teaching of creationism in U.S. public schools, and the Discovery Institute has run a series of campaigns to change school curricula. In Australia, where curricula are under the control of State governments rather than local school boards, there was a public outcry when the notion of ID being taught in science classes was raised by the Federal Education Minister Brendan Nelson; the minister quickly conceded that the correct forum for ID, if it were to be taught, is in religious or philosophy classes.
In the United States, teaching of Intelligent Design in public schools has been decisively ruled by a Federal District court to be in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. In Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, the court found that intelligent design is not science and "cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents.", and hence cannot be taught as an alternative to Evolution in public school science classrooms under the jurisdiction of that court. This sets a persuasive precedent, based on previous Supreme Court decisions in Edwards v. Aguillard and Epperson v. Arkansas, and by the application of the Lemon test, that creates a legal hurdle to teaching Intelligent Design in public school districts in other Federal court jurisdictions.
In general, many Hindus believe in biological evolution in some form, while others believe in puranic story of god Brahma being the creator. Some Hindu religious and political organizations have been charged with promoting creationism (or other pseudo-scientific ideas) based on interpretations of Hindu scriptures.
Judaism has a continuum of views about creation, the origin of life and the role of evolution in the formation of species. The major Jewish denominations, including many Orthodox Jewish groups, accept evolutionary creationism or theistic evolution. Many Conservative Rabbis follow theistic evolution, although Conservative Judaism does not have an official view on the subject. Conservative Judaism however, does generally embrace science and therefore finds it a "challenge to traditional Jewish theology. Reform Judaism does not take the Torah as a literal text, but rather as a symbolic or open-ended work. For Orthodox Jews who seek to reconcile discrepancies between science and the Bible, the notion that science and the Bible should even be reconciled through traditional scientific means is questioned. To these groups, science is as true as the Torah and if there seems to be a problem, our own epistemological limits are to blame for any apparent irreconcilable point. They point to various discrepancies between what is expected and what actually is to demonstrate that things are not always as they appear. They point out the fact that the even root word for "world" in the Hebrew language — עולם (oh•luhm) — means hidden. Just as they believe God created man and trees and the light on its way from the stars in their adult state, so too can they believe that the world was created in its "adult" state, with the understanding that there are, and can be, no physical ways to verify this. This belief has been advanced by Rabbi Dr. Dovid Gottlieb, former philosophy professor at Johns Hopkins University. Also, relatively old Kabbalistic sources from well before the scientifically apparent age of the universe was first determined are in close concord with modern scientific estimates of the age of the universe, according to Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan. Other interesting parallels are brought down from, among other sources, Nachmanides, who expounds that there was a Neanderthal-like species with which Adam mated (he did this long before Neanderthals had even been discovered scientifically).
According to a 2001 Gallup poll, about 45% of Americans believe that "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so." Another 37% believe that "Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process." Only 14% believe that "human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process."
Belief in creationism is inversely correlated to education; of those with post-graduate degrees, 74% believe in evolution. A poll in the year 2000 done for People for the American Way found 70% of the American public felt that evolution was compatible with a belief in God..
In 1987, Newsweek reported: "By one count there are some 700 scientists with respectable academic credentials (out of a total of 480,000 U.S. earth and life scientists) who give credence to creation-science, the general theory that complex life forms did not evolve but appeared 'abruptly.'
In 2000, a poll by People For the American Way estimated that:
According to a study published in Science, between 1985 and 2005 the number of adult Americans who accept evolution declined from 45% to 40%, the number of adults who reject evolution declined from 48% to 39% and the number of people who were unsure increased from 7% to 21%. Besides the United States the study also compared data from 32 European countries, Turkey, and Japan. The only country where acceptance of evolution was lower than in the United States was Turkey (25%). (See the chart)
Less-direct anecdotal evidence of the popularity of creationism is reflected in the response of IMAX theaters to the availability of Volcanoes of the Deep Sea, an IMAX film which makes a connection between human DNA and microbes inside undersea volcanoes. The film's distributor reported that the only U.S. states with theaters which chose not to show the film were Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina:
According to a PBS documentary on evolution, Australian Young Earth Creationists claimed that "five percent of the Australian population now believe that Earth is thousands, rather than billions, of years old." The documentary further states that "Australia is a particular stronghold of the creationist movement." Taking these claims at face value, Young Earth Creationism is very much a minority position in Western countries.
A 2008 Canadian poll revealed that "58 percent accept evolution, while 22 percent think that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years.
In Europe, strict creationism is a less well-defined phenomenon, and regular polls are not available. However, evolution is taught as scientific fact in most schools. In countries with a Roman Catholic majority, papal acceptance of evolution as worthy of study has essentially ended debate on the matter for many people. In the United Kingdom the Emmanuel Schools Foundation (previously the Vardy Foundation), which runs three government-funded 13 to 19 schools in the north of England (out of several thousand in the country) and plans to open several more, teaches that creationism and evolution are equally valid "faith positions". One exam board (OCR) also specifically mentions and deals with creationism in its biology syllabus. However, this deals with it as a historical belief and addresses hostility towards evolution rather than promoting it as an alternative to naturalistic evolution. Mainstream scientific accounts are expressed as fact. In Italy, prime minister Silvio Berlusconi wanted to retire evolution from schools in the middle level; after one week of massive protests, he reversed his opinion.
There continues to be scattered and possibly mounting efforts on the part of religious fundamentalists throughout Europe to introduce creationism into public education. In response, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has released a draft report entitled The dangers of creationism in education on June 8, 2007, reinforced by a further proposal of banning it in schools dated October 4th, 2007.
Of particular note for Eastern Europe, Serbia suspended the teaching of evolution for one week in 2004, under education minister Ljiljana Čolić, only allowing schools to reintroduce evolution into the curriculum if they also taught creationism. "After a deluge of protest from scientists, teachers and opposition parties" says the BBC report, Čolić's deputy made the statement, "I have come here to confirm Charles Darwin is still alive" and announced that the decision was reversed. Čolić resigned after the government said that she had caused "problems that had started to reflect on the work of the entire government. Poland saw a major controversy over creationism in 2006 when the deputy education minister, Mirosław Orzechowski, denounced evolution as "one of many lies" taught in Polish schools. His superior, Minister of Education Roman Giertych, has stated that the theory of evolution would continue to be taught in Polish schools, "as long as most scientists in our country say that it is the right theory." Giertych's father, Member of the European Parliament Maciej Giertych, has however opposed the teaching of evolution and has claimed that dinosaurs and humans co-existed.
In the United Kingdom, it is notable that the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, Rowan Williams views the idea of teaching creationism in schools as a mistake.. A 2006 poll on the "origin and development of life" asked participants to choose between three different perspectives on the origin of life: 22% chose creationism, 17% opted for intelligent design, 48% selected evolution theory and the rest did not know.
Luther opposes his theology of the cross to what he called the "theology of glory":
Murphy observes that the execution of a Jewish carpenter by Roman authorities is in and of itself an ordinary event and did not require Divine action. On the contrary, for the crucifixion to occur, God had to limit or "empty" Himself. It was for this reason that Paul wrote, in Philippians 2:5-8,
Murphy concludes that,
The 19th-century Danish theologian and forebear of Christian existentialism Søren Kierkegaard also rejects appeals to creationism, saying that:
I still do not demonstrate God's existence from [the natural] order of things, and even if I began I would never finish and also would be obliged continually to live in suspenso lest something so terrible happen that my fragment of demonstration would be ruined.
Kierkegaard rejects the idea that the existence of God could be derived from a proof or an appeal to the 'order of things', since such proof could not answer the necessity of commitment, faith and free will to religion, as everyone would be compelled to accept the existence of God on the basis of the proof.
Other Christians have expressed qualms about teaching creationism. In March 2006, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the leader of the world's Anglicans, stated his discomfort about teaching creationism, saying that creationism was "a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory like other theories." He also said: "My worry is creationism can end up reducing the doctrine of creation rather than enhancing it." The views of the Episcopal Church, the American branch of the Anglican Communion, on teaching creationism are also the same as Williams.

Only dissapointing thing is that Mark Williams is not involved. Everyone else is, though.

Police investigate home invasionBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | July 18,2013Brent Curtis / Staff Photo
Police are investigating a reported home invasion in this neighborhood of Pittsford, which occurred on Wednesday at around 1 p.m.PITTSFORD — Vermont State Police are investigating a reported home invasion that involved an assault on a 15-year-old girl on Freeman Hill Drive.
Troopers, the county sheriff and paramedics were called to the short dirt road off Route 7 at 1:08 p.m. Wednesday after the girl, who police declined to identify, reported that she had been assaulted by an unknown man who entered her home, according to state police Detective Sgt. Albert Abdelnour.
The girl suffered minor injuries during the incident and was taken by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center where she was treated and released.
Many details of the incident — including the home's street number — weren't released Wednesday evening by police, who were still investigating the scene and trying to locate the intruder, Abdelnour said.
The detective said the intruder apparently entered the house, located close to three other homes, through an unlocked door. How the intruder encountered the girl and whether his intent was to burglarize the home or to assault its occupants is unclear and Abdelnour said he couldn't discuss those aspects of the case.
He said the girl didn't recognize the intruder but said police didn't know if the man entered the home at random.
"It's under investigation whether this is random or targeted," he said.
None of the other neighbors in the area reported any disturbances or missing items, Abdelnour said.
The intruder was gone when police arrived at Freeman Hill Drive and an exhaustive search of the nearby roads and Route 7 by officers and a canine from the Rutland Regional Sheriff's Department failed to locate the man.
It's unknown if the man drove from the home or fled on foot.
"Residents in that area should remain vigilant," Abdelnour said.
The suspect was described as a white male in his 20s to early 30s. Police say he stands between 5 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a thin build, brown hair that hung down over his ears but not to his neck, brown eyes, thin lips, a bump on the bridge of his nose and short stubby facial hair. He was wearing a white tank top, black shorts worn low that hung below his knees, black tube socks pulled up to his knees and white latex gloves. The victim also described a black spiraling tattoo on his shoulder.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call state police at 773-9101.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.
