Some million of years ago there was no dolphin. There was instead a land creature that decided to go in the water and slow, slow developed all the organs to live in the sea. After that even developed the sonar in order to make his life more and more easy. The same apply to the birds. Originally they were dinosaurs.
It is the strong desire to survive and to evolve that make us and everybody else made important changes.
But this desire is driven by our feeling that by going ahead all the time toward an unknown destination we will find total peace of mind.
As the changes occur physically they can also occur mentally and spiritually.
The potential for change is within each of us. We may or may not perceive this according to our desire to go ahead or not but the potential is there.
IF you dont have the desire to go ahead there is no way that you can develop the senses that will allow you to do so.
As a dolphin developed the sonar also you can develop a sense that at the moment you do not have.
Few hundreds of year ago people thought that the planet earth was flat and was the center of the universe, at the same time in year 2013 people still think that the physical senses are the only senses that we have. Sad indeed.
I don't know who this criticism is addressed to but I haven't said the only things that exist are what we know about or anything like that, I'm saying we can only realistically make speculations about what we know about. You saying there is a god because we don't know what exists outside of the laws of physics is just the same as me saying we don't know what exists outside the laws of physics therefore there are 12 giant computers controlling the universe, both are just as likely. And if you're talking about things that exist outside of the laws of the physics then the options are basically how many thing can you think of that could be outside of the laws of physics? A giant mushroom that has always existed, 10 virgins with the heads of mushrooms that have always existed and have forearms infinitely large. The list itself is infinite.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
