Along with others, I too agree that foreign aid tends to fail because the money does not always go where it was intended to go. However, I also think that it fails because it is a "quick fix" to enormous problems. If you give food away to a developing nation, what happens to the farmer who intended to sell food at the local market? I think that aid is given a lot of times in hopes that money and food will solve everyone's problems. It has often been said that if you give a man a fish he eats for one day; but if you teach him to fish he eats for a lifetime. Aid often fails because programs fail, or weren't initiated properly to begin with.

I just cannot understand why there should be such a clarity between the two. As numerous others have stated, there are dozens of religions out there! Why is it such a terrible thing to believe in both God and Science?

I think that as long as one is a good person at heart, it shouldn't matter what religion, if any, one is affiliated with.
