I have hydrocephalus which is an excessive amount of spinal fluid that has built up on my brain. The spinal fluid damaged all the nerves in my eyes it's irreparable unfortunately.

Hi Alaina, and welcome to the forums.
"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould

ok to be honest I got a kick out of how your ipad would be saying the word spunky.
First off.. I hope you ate that banana in your video soon, it looked ready to turn! Also, you do know that you should make a new video for our forums, right? I just think you should because most of that first one. had the camera pointed at the ripe banana, and if those bastards over at the thinking atheist didn't tell you, then they don't deserve to be referenced in the first place!
Anyways, I have been liking your posts, and am happy to have you around! You're welcome to join the Bunny club (my avatar is the Monty Python killer rabbit). We bunnies love all! Squeal! I love bunnies! Bunnies are the awesomest! I know nobody told me that my camera was pointed at A banana. But yes I can we make my video for your website sure thing.

aww aren't you a cute wittle wabbit?
You're so in the bunny club now.. how old are you? And where are you from?
Please do make a new video, and go slower this time so I can see your pretty face!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Oh damn. Well, maybe one day medical science will make bionic eyes a reality. That would be so boss. How old were you when you were declared blind?
Yeah, I have a lot of admiration for those who are blind - a lot of us cannot fathom the idea and yet here is someone like yourself who appears to handle it like a champ.

They made bionic eyes? Holy shit, where was I. Of course they're only for the military though, fucking America. Well, I hope it spreads to the rest of the public soon.

I have hydro as well. Shunted right side VP, last revised (thankfully) 1988. Secondary to spina bifida. Never knew about the blindness connection, but it makes sense.
ETA: correction to 1988
