I recommend chest waders - the bullshit is just. That. Deep.

Thank you kindly, but a subsequent scan has me convinced a diving bell may be more prudent.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

And still equally ridiculous as 10 or so pages ago when enrico claimed elements fissure because they crave freedom. Well, this time, you went wrong when you compared a designed object (a car) to a product of evolution. The first was created for a purpose, the second was not created.


Everything and everybody crave for freedom, from the mineral life to the vegetable life to the animal life to the human life and that require evolution.
Evolution of the consciousness require new medium all the time that is why from lower form of life we see higher form of life both in body-mind and consciousness.
Instinct push the element and the creature with little consciousness up and reason with a bit of instinct work in the human being.
You guys say that you know what evolution is but you contradict yourselves when you pretend that a human being came from nowhere.
Everything in nature is build up step by step.
To believe that you did not evolve from lower form of life is just to masturbate your brains.BangheadBangheadBanghead

Typical canary syndrome.
The poor bird think that the cage is her reality and get used to that reality.
It never pass in her mind that outside there is a bigger reality.
Not only that but even in that bigger reality there is a even bigger reality and that is the goal of everybody life.
But when your reality is a cage then is not yet time for you to start the journey to that goal of life.
Sad indeed.Wink Shades

Your canary analogy is off the mark. The canary can exist without a cage, without a body there's no consciousness. It's more like a water balloon, without the balloon, the water dissipates.

Non-life does not "crave life" it can't it has no mental processes.

Evolution of consciousness is entirely dependent on evolution of the brain in the same way that shit is dependent on the intestine.

Does this make sense to anyone?

The only people saying humans came from nowhere are creationists. Humans evolved and have a long lineage.

I think you have misunderstood what people have posted.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

What a garbage!!!
Thousand of people who had NDE experience tell you the opposite and it make sense considering their clear vision without a body.
They could even see what was in adjoining rooms where they never been before.Wink Shades

Your peculiar usage of "him" and "it" make interpreting very difficult, but let's see:

Ooh, I know - the donkey won't turn into a bee, therefore evolution is impossible. Right?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
