    what proof is there that god exists?

    This just shows your lack of knowledge on the Bible more than anything else. Numbers 22 30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?" "No," he said. Numbers 22 - Passage�Lookup - New...

    what proof is there that god exists?

    I hardly call the Bible verifiable evidence, especially since it makes such extraordinary claims and continually mixes fact with fiction (a talking donkey, for example).

    what proof is there that god exists?

    Actually, they pointed out someone's poor spelling but labelled it as poor grammar, which is even worse.

    Christian Chemist refuses sale of contraceptives

    "Muslim" isn't a race, it's an adherent to the religion of Islam.

    Tips, Tricks and Advice for the HSC

    Actually MSN proved vital during my HSC year. It was helpful because it allowed discussion between my friends and myself on internal assessments, and I could communicate with people I didn't see every day (for example, in my extension English classes) and discuss notes and concepts. Sometimes...

    Foi?

    http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/administration/foi_application_form.pdf The basic process is to fill in that form, attach fees and then send it off.

    Choosing which units to include

    No. If you do 11 units, and bomb out completely in Business Studies, only 1 unit of Business Studies will be included, which is the equivalent of (internal assessment + external HSC) / 2 and then halved again. So from what I know both HSC mark and internal are inseparable. For example, you...

    SMH article on how shit is HSC English

    Overall Advanced English was my favourite subject/HSC exam for a number of reasons. Firstly I didn't prepare perfect essays, but I wrote essays throughout the year to grasp issues and concepts - hence I didn't really try to memorise any essays until the night before (usually only because of...

    Studies of Religion II questions :)

    I completely agree. I guess so. But from what I'm aware they can also be combined, such as an agnostic atheist who lacks belief in god (atheism) but who does not deny the possibility of god existing (agnostic). Essentially they do not claim true knowledge on the issue, but they still have an...

    What to do?

    Oh, I never knew BOS has rules against releasing ranks before the HSC. I guess that makes sense though. Thanks for the info.

    Christian Chemist refuses sale of contraceptives

    In these chemists, are the contraceptives already stocked in-store, or are they absent from the premises? Because there's a difference between not selling a stocked item to a customer, and not stocking an item to begin with. Because if the items are in-store, with 'free choice to prevent sale'...

    What to do?

    Yep. From what I've heard of previous years in a few days time you'll be able to log into NSW Students Online with your Student ID and PIN and see your internal assessment marks/ranks. I think this is used as a mechanism for people to appeal if there are any errors, and it is useful for some...

    Studies of Religion II questions :)

    I didn't do Studies of Religion for my HSC as it wasn't offered at my school, but I was just wondering is agnosticism treated as a belief system (i.e. being unsure) or a position knowledge (i.e. denying all claims to 'true knowledge' on the existence/non-existence of god) in the syllabus?

    Probably a dumb question (related to transfers)...

    Thanks for the information everyone. :) I think I understand it at least a little bit better now.

    What are you currently Reading?

    I've been reading Les Misérables for the past few months.

    Phat.

    I remained at my normal weight throughout the HSC year. Just eat normally and healthily and exercise when you can.

    Probably a dumb question (related to transfers)...

    I've looked around, and so far I can't seem to find answers to my question. Hypothetical example: If you are transferring in your first year of Commerce @ UNSW to Commerce @ USyd and the transfer is successful, do you start Commerce @ USyd as a second year student, or a first year student...

    Section 2 - Crime

    I also talked about the qualities of a effective law (e.g. enforceability, easily known, reflects social values) and how a deficiency in any of these areas can lead to a lack of commitment to the law for certain members of the community (for example, the prevalence of music piracy is mostly due...

    Dreaming of the HSC

    I've had a couple of nightmares after I finished my HSC exams. One was that I stuffed up the economics exam, and another was that I didn't finish the biology exam, because the supervisor was crazy. And apparently I was doing the HSC exam in a park. Another one was about the legal studies exam...

    How stuffed up would my Eco ranks be?

    I did the test and I would not say it was "easy", per se. It was around the same difficulty in terms of the short answer responses as previous years, and the multiple choice was difficult and time consuming. The only "easy" part I guess was the extended responses - but from what I know extended...
