This is what a wild banana looks like. Notice the inedible seeds.

Don’t show that to Ray Comfort.  His head might explode.  Or his nut. 😏

Pretty sad that you're so insecure and need to invent fantasy explanations to feel comfortable and deal with your life.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

As I said earlier in the thread, I fully accept the reality of death.

And that's why I put my efforts into dealing with the living and trying to make their lives better in this life, rather than promising that some god will kiss their boo-boos and make things all better in a magical future life.

You should try it, Everena. Seriously. Give up the future fantasy and dive into the present, because this is where the action is.

I'm not familiar with any terms that aren't human-made.

Plumbing does not explain the first cause of water, because what the first cause of water was is irrelevant to plumbing. What the first cause of anything is other than species is also irrelevant to evolution, which explains what is happening to populations of organisms once they exist.

How could the planet have less food than is needed for all the life on it to survive? If life exceeds the available food supply, it dies, or in some cases, goes dormant.

I appreciate that you don't reject the findings of science though, not as common as it should be.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Only if you are incredibly gullible. There are many claims but nothing testable or verifiable.

I used to believe in past lives.

Then it occurred to me. How is a past life any different to sharing the same memory? I could watch a film on TV with someone else and we'd both remember the same sequence. That doesn't mean that we're the same person.

The very idea of a past life requires a belief in a soul, consciousness that continues on after brain death. But souls do not exist. Consciousness stops when the brain dies, and even when put under for an operation. Or when someone knocks you out. If souls existed we wouldn't be able to get drunk, or high, or have neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimers.

The very concept of a past life fades to nothing if you ask too many questions.
