I've never heard so much tosh in so few words.

We'll done, Smokey.

ehhhhhhh
spice banter

There was a european family where they had four great grandparents instead of the usual 8, i just can't find it at the moment...

seems legit

Creation c evolution isn't a debate. It is facts v myth. Those are just two totally different domains.

Technically, Ogion, it's theory vs faith but I take your point.

Technically, no, it's fact v. myth. Evolution is an observed fact. And you may have faith in your particular myth, but that doesn't change the fact that they creation story is a myth.

And 2/3rds of your ancestors were women.

@Ogion. I would love to debate the Evolution thingy Im not a creationsit but do have severe doubts about scientific methodology.

Scientific Methodolgy is a brilliant tool to tell us HOW things happen from the possible thoeritical birth of the universe to how particles interact through to the movemnt of galaxies.

BUT the method unfortunalely by its very nature cannt and never will eb able to describle the fundamental WHY.

I believe we mankind will one day develope a methodology to help understand this just as the scientific method has unlocked the HOW..but we aint there yet..

Matbe its because our own current genetic diversity is limited ..

Or maybe its because Creation is TRUE. Ever consider that?

the old question "why" still hasn't ever been answered when repeated enough times, but i think that we need to look beyond ancient texts for any literal meaning. analyzing them for archetypes of human endeavor and symbolism... well religion is full of things that are worth studying, but taken literally... this time has passed.

Well, yes, the scientific method is a brilliant tool for how based on evidence. That's what it is supposed to do. That's why there is no creation evolution debate because it turns out making up stories is actually a pretty terrible way of figuring out how.


Actually, I have considered whether the Christian myth is true. Turns out there is no more evidence for it that's the Brahma story or the Popul Vuj or any other myth, which is to say zero.

And actually understanding the how can give you a pretty good notion of why, but that's another story.

Well we are all direct matrilineal descendants of Mitochondrial Eve, and males can trace their Y chromosome lineage to Y-chromosomal Adam, though they probably never met each other. Also, the dinosaurs died for our sins.

Funnily enough... scientology and the idea of neurological thetans and aliens is more likely than christianity. we haven't fully classified the brain, and we haven't fully classified the universe

however if we're talking about the overall value whether it be historical or philosophical, christianity leaps miles ahead.


not that i look to the bible for my philosophy

James you are hopeless. And verbose

faithless would be a bit more accurate

Mitochondrial organisms are very intersting ..they heat up to about 50 degrees c. They are thought to be the reason we are warm blooded . the old mitos hate oxygen..
