Keep Life in perspective...

Well. What I would like to know is this. If evolution is true, why haven't we developed a third arm so we can scratch our own backs?

we invented loofahs for that! or the husband

When I was small my mum and dad said they created me, and I don' think their gods - in fact I know they aren't!!

God was created by man 

If God was good enough for Einstein, he's good enough for me. By the way, Einstein said there is no basis for science or rationality without God. I agree with him. I'm not speaking of God as an old man in the clouds, but as the essence of rationality and unity in the cosmos. Without that rationality, we wouldn't be having this debate.

Does that mean there were two people in the beginning?

How would that confer any reproductive advantage?

Can you point me to a reference where he made that statement, Keira?

I know he said this: "I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. "

Grahame, do you accept Darwins theory of evolution, or that man began when god took a handful of dust and made the first man, then took a rib from the man to make woman? the bible makes some unbelievable claims doesnt it?

[bob]

Grahame - did you not have a big post on this thread earlier in which you revealed you were a Calvinist etc. or did I imagine that?

There we go then Andrea. 'Albert Einstein described belief in God as "childish superstition" '

I wonder how many of chochokeira's other "facts" are also biased figments of her imagination - most worryingly, those related to this case?

Well now Andrea, let me furnish you with a bit of useless information. Did you know that the Hindus thought of evolution 1000's of years before Darwin when we were still crawling around in caves?

[andrea]

Never heard that one before Grahame, news to me.

What happened to that post grahame, im sure i saw a post you did earlier then it dissapeared.

its that time of night again, and the forum is getting slow, why does it happen at this time?

No Bob. For that to be even feesible she would have to come down your level of intellect.

What is perspective anyway and why should anyone keep anything? What's wrong with losing a completely fixed flat position and dying at the same time?

Sorry Roch but what on your God's Clean Earth are you on about?!
