Nausea

Abwiseguy:

'''Nausea''' is the sensation of having an urge to [[vomit]]. It happens most often when a person radically decides that everyone else should believe what they believe (see conservatives). Vomiting is forcing the contents of the stomach up through the [[esophagus]] and out of the [[mouth]]. Your body has a few main ways to respond to an ever-changing, wide variety of invaders and irritants. Sneezing ejects the intruders from the [[nose]], [[cough]]ing from the [[lung]]s and [[throat]], [[diarrhea]] from the [[intestine]]s, and vomiting from the [[stomach]].

Vomiting is a forceful action accomplished by a fierce, disgusting contraction of the [[diaphragm]]. At the same time, the abdominal [[muscle]]s tighten against a relaxed stomach with an open "cardiac [[sphincter]]". The contents of the stomach are propelled up and out. You may have more [[saliva]] just before vomiting. Vomiting is a complex, coordinated [[reflex]] orchestrated by the vomiting center of the [[brain]]. It responds to signals coming from: * The [[mouth]], [[stomach]], and [[intestine]]s
* The balancing systems in the ear (motion sickness)
* The brain itself, including unsettling sights, smells, or thoughts

An amazing variety of situations can trigger vomiting, from a [[migraine headache]] to a [[roller coaster]] ride to a spoon down the back of your throat, (this stimulates the gag reflex). Sometimes, just seeing someone else vomit will start you vomiting. One should remember, however, that vomiting is common. Almost all children will vomit several times a year during their childhood. In most cases, it is due to a viral gastrointestinal infection or simply eating too much candy.

The following are possible causes of vomiting:
* Viral infections
* Medications
* Seasickness or motion sickness
* Migraine headaches
* Morning sickness during pregnancy
* Food poisoning
* Food allergies
* Brain tumors
* Chemotherapy in cancer patients
* Bulimia
* Imbibing too much [[Alcohol]]

Omniscience

2007-12-17T22:25:54Z

Abwiseguy:

'''Omniscience''' is the ability to know everything there is to know.

Some have questioned whether omniscience is compatible with [[free will]]; specifically, [[Calvinist]]s have argued that God knows whether a person will be saved before he is born. If God has foreknowledge, then only one path (known, albeit, only to God) can be chosen and therefore allows only one action can be taken; if God had seen that the man were bound to heaven, for example, he could not be but virtuous, while were he bound to hell he must, by definition, sin. But we all know that GOD DOESN'T EXIST!

However, some believe knowledge of what the outcome of a man or woman's free will will be does not preclude his or her freedom. They contend that it is possible for God to know how a man or woman will exercise their free will and at the same time not interfere with it.

Some believe that this creates a logical paradox, but the paradox hinges on the concept of time.
That is, if God knows what a person ''will'' choose ''before'' the person makes that choice, how does the person actually have a free choice about that when the time comes?
But many Christians believe that God exists outside of time, thus time does not pass for God.
He is not only everywhere at once, but in all of time at once.
Consequently, the time factor of the apparent paradox is removed, and the paradox disappears.
That is, God does not know what the person ''will'' choose ''before'' they do so.
Rather, God has ''always'' known what the person ''did'' freely choose in that person's future

This, however, raises the question in many people's minds as to why God would allow evil things, knowing that they would arise.
The problem with this question is that it assumes that God would not have had some purpose in allowing evil to arise.
