Hey,
To EvF I can only explain that I just assume there must be god, because it is the only thing that personally makes sense. I suppose there could not be, but to me that makes no sense. I need there to be a why. Not 'why did fido have to die?' kind of why, but 'why does fido die?' way. Why is the system the way it is and not another? It just does not add up, after all I have learned that all of this (life) just so happened. Way to complex and interdependent. God is a little girl because it keeps me honest. You can't stay mad at or hate a little girl, so I think is much better (and more appropriate) that she be that.
To Kyu, welcome back. I am baffled as to where you got the impression that I thought the bible was the best thing since anything. I can repeat that I am very fond of theology and mythology, that I quite like doaism, chan buddhism irish paganism and gnosticism. None of those have much of anything to do with the official bible. I am more drawn to the similar books that were not made canonical. Please refrain from calling it 'my' bible, it is no such thing.
I like to think that I am not hiding behind claims that are insupportable. You are the one adamantly telling me the way things happened 14 billion years ago. I think I am being the one mature enough to admit both of our positions are insupportable to one another. I am trying not to waste my time trying to support what I believe for someone to which it can't be validated. I am just politley and humbly saying what I know. You gonna have to take my word on it.
You list of the sciences is shallow and strange. You seem to be very fond of modern science, modern allopathic medicine. Modern Newtonian physics. These are all schools of thought that have come under great strain recently. Where we stand in our understanding of the world today is not the epitome of reality. To hear you say that those things, especially homeopathy and naturopathy are 'all for flakes' makes me cringe and laugh. All I can ask is that are we allowed to make up our own minds? If I choose homeopathy and naturopathy, my I live like that? Or would you call me a flake. Or would you kill or convert me? We need to become more natural as humans, if we have nay chance of surviving. What is old is not necessarily stupid, and what is new not necessarily right. Just silliness.
Off to work, it hurts. What is called production is really just the conversion of the living to the dead.

Quote:that allows us to observe and determine the relationships between various life forms.The relationships as they already existed before us, and exist solely outside of us. We can name and study the fantastic world of animals, but we did not make it. not at all. Something did though.
