Why do Women put their man's health before their own?

I just felt the need  to pose this question because I have seen this time and time again with women not taking care of themselves, not eating right, not exercising, not taking 'time' for themselves. yet, they get the nails done, the hair done, go shopping, taking care of the children, working, house duties and the such. But when it comes to 'really' taking care of ourselves, we seem to neglect that part of our being, or so it seems.  Do we stop to think about meditation a few minutes before we jot of to work or the afternoon lunch with the girls or that board meeting you've been working on all week? Do we take time to pamper our inner-selves before we pamper the outer? From the spiritual to the inner-core, why do we seem to put our man's health before our own?

Is it that we value ourselves less? Or is it that we still look at the male species as the bread winner and we feel that we must 'take' care of them first because they, 'the male' is likely to expire before we do? Or is it that we know they don't take care of themselves any better than we do? I'd love to hear your thoughts, opinion or view? Please feel free to comment below.........TY

Evolution or Creation?

Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. Charles Darwin proposed a theory, now called the Theory of Evolution, stating that animals differentiated into species when the survivors of a changing environment were able to pass their genetic traits to their offspring. The theory of evolution is a scientific theory that can be tested by observations and application of the scientific method. Support for the theory of evolution is based on fossil evidence that has accumulated throughout the geological history of earth. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a contemporary example of the adaptation of life-forms in response to their environment.

Creationism, or Intelligent Design, is the religious belief that a higher power created the animals and everything that exists today through supernatural intervention. Religious beliefs, such as creationism, have to be accepted on faith and cannot be tested or investigated. Creationism beliefs are usually based on a strict interpretation of the Bible or other religious holy books. The book of Genesis starts with the statement "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth", and goes on to describe how in six days God created the plants, the animals, the sun, the moon, and the stars.

Conflicts between Evolution and Creationism occur when supporters of either view criticize the other. Evolutionists argue that creationism is not a scientific theory because it cannot be tested by the scientific method, whereas creationists argue that evolutionists do not take God into account and that evolution is just a theory rather than a fact. Scientific methodology which is based on physical evidence can never be reconciled with the creationist faith-based belief that the Old Testament of the Bible, which was written by Israelites around 1400 BC, is the only true account of creation.

'Science' requires that a hypothesis or theory should be testable and supported by physical evidence, whereas 'religion' requires acceptance of a doctrine or belief without analysis or judgment. For this reason, conflicts between evolution and creationism can never be resolved. DNA testing has shown that humans and chimpanzees have a 98-percent genetic similarity, providing overwhelming evidence that apes and humans have a common ancestry. Scientists are willing to accept these results as evidence that man is a specific type of ape, but this is what creationists find most revolting, since they believe that "God created man in his own image", as stated in Genesis 1:27.

Why can't we combine the two? Maybe the Creator, created life to evolve. The debate will continue.

What's your view/ opinion?
