Do you think Hispanic Californians will be offended by this billboard regarding their wombs?

I'm neither latina nor currently in Cali. I find it doubly offensive, once for the billboard, and again for the "we won't be putting this up in white neighborhoods" smarminess.

Ok, God is all knowing so why'd he let the snake in the garden?

The Problem of Evil that you just described -- how God can be all-knowing, all-loving, ever-present, and all-powerful, yet still allow evil things to happen -- is the biggest problem all religions attempt to answer. Christianity answers that "God has some bigger plan" or "God is teaching us a lesson" or "God is in control and we cannot understand how he works" or "we deserve the evil we face because we're all sinners" or other such things like that. It makes no logical sense. Other religions have eliminated one of God's four main attributes listed above, which solves the problem for them. For example, post-Holocaust Jews largely believe that God is NOT all-powerful, which leaves them with a loving, powerful God, but not one that is able to overcome all evil in the world. But for Christianity, it becomes a question of sacrificing faith for logic, which most people are not willing to do.

How to keep hair from frizzing?

I get up early in the morning and flat iron my hair. I have thick, wavy hair. My hair is decently strait when I finish. I like in southern Texas and it's almost summer time. It insanely humid outside! My hair frizzes up mega bad. I'm meeting the guy I like tomorrow, but by the end of school, my hair is wavy again! I thinks it's because of the humidity. Any way I can keep it strait and keep it from frizzing up without products? I have this, Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Cream. It "intently camouflages imperfections, leaves dull dry hair shiny, soft and supple. Would this help any?

How Can Natural Selection Work if Mutations Can't Cause Species to Change?

Speciation is macroevolution and we cannot see that. We can only infer it from the fossil record because the process just takes too much time to observe. The slight variations within a species are microevolution (fluctuating allele proportions) which we can directly observe (ex: domestication). Sometimes allele proportions become so dramatically different between populations that they can no longer interbreed but again this takes millions of years.

Can babies hear the outside world when they are in the womb?

Yes they can and that is why it is important to talk to an unborn baby and play a variety of music.It's soothing for them. In the same way it is important to avoid rows and discontentment,they pick up on that to.........

Can the word 'camouflage' be used in case of sounds? If not, then what is the appropriate word?

Camouflage means to disguise something so it appears like something else, to become hard to detect. What you describe is more "masking", which means to cover or or obscure.

I'm so scared of dying through miscarriage I can not sleep?

I lost a baby due to a miscarriage, and I've Just come out of hospital for the third time, I am bleeding, I know it's to be expected, but I have lost so much blood I have had to have treatment, I got a massive infection, and after internal after internal the aftermath really looked like a horror movie, ive woken up saturated in blood, and tbh, I'm trying to survive on an hour a day sleep, in which I make my amazing boyfriend check on me, I feel like I'm dying, and I have two boys to live for, they are only small, I'm also afraid I will leave my beloved in this world. I know people will say go to hospital, but I've just left there today, and according to doctors they can't check my womb via scan as they can't tell the difference between clots and products of conception (last time they checked I had 18mm remaining. I am so sore, tired, upset, fed up, feel like a failure, I'm petrified of dying, I love my kids and boyfriend more than anything, and I'm scared to lose them...I can't go on like this, it's like I'd like to sedate myself until I am okay, if I'm okay...? I'm heartbroken, weak and weary, it feels like I'm fighting to survive, with no energy, a stronger person would feel, que sera...but I'm terrified of heamorraging and never waking up...
