RE: The redneck strike again.

So enrico let me propose a situation to you okay? Lets say me and you are in the middle ages and we are thristy and happen upon a lake, we both use our "intiutional science" to try to determine if the water is safe to drink. Then you say yes it is, and I say know it is not. How do we decide who is right, without potentially killing ourselves from cholera or the like?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Every time I glance at the title of this thread, my involuntary response is along the lines of "no more NASCAR? The Grand Ol' Opry shut down? The banjo players aren't getting paid enough?"

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Knowledge come when the mind is free to receive information and bliss.
No peace of mind = no relaxation.
No relaxation and the mind is not able to be fully receptive.
Have you noted that when your mind is upset or worried about something you can not concentrate?
That is how the system works but i never expect that a redneck would understand this simple thing.
The knowledge and the bliss is there all the time but as the clouds block the sun also a mind not relaxed prevent the knowledge and the bliss to enter your very essence.
This is a philosophical point but again what would you know about philosophy?

You are assuming too many things like the fact that you can use the intuitional science when in fact you never practice.
With intuitional science you can limit or avoid the damages all together depending on the degree of knowledge that you have acquire.
In tantric yoga you practice the second lesson to avoid reactions to action but other people use different methods to nullify reaction as you can see in this link that i posted long time ago as well.

Can I ask enrico.....what was all that horse shit in your first post about jaw and teeth dimensions?
Why do we have incisors if we aren't supposed to eat meat? If we're to entirely rely on vegetation for sustenance, then should our teeth and digestive structure not resemble that of a cow?
