God coming from nowhere is just as tricky as the entire physical world coming out from nowhere.

Biology has explained the plausibility of life on our planet coming from a primordial soup. To me, there can't be anything more sacred. Astronomy has explained how our universe began after the big bang. Science hasn't explained so far what happened before or what happens to us when we die. Religions have filled these holes, (though religions are older, and I'd say that science reclaimed that which can be explained / reached in a rational way).

I call "God" or "Creator" the base from which things originate (and possibly end). The word itself should not matter. In an universe as huge as ours and possibly a God as old as the entire Creation, worship and religion should be optional, and at the best case spontaneus. I reject religions based on the good-vs-evil scheme, which is just a very relative thing that we humans invented and still don't agree on. There can't be a place like hell and there's no heaven. A god with eternal life shouldn't be narrow-minded like this to create these many stars and wait this enormous time to punish a creature in a 2000 years range. God may be bigger than we think and all universes may hold infinite projections of infinite possibilities ruled by physical laws with variations in their constants. Our paths may vary but they all lead to a center that is everywhere. The mayas (and I believe that both hindus and buddhists too) believe that we are really the same person. They say "In lakech" which means "I'm another yourself". Walt Whitman may have believed this same thing. This entire big little thing called God may be One, Multiple and Infinite. Everything.

Man has never witnessed a gaining of genetic info. In other words, like in the breeding of dogs: all the genetic code was in the DNA of the first dog. A dog or animal can lose a trait, making it specialized. humans then breed them to make what they want, until, the run of of characteristics to eliminate. never has there been a new species, or a gaining of information, only loss. The world is decieved into thinking things like evolution and the "primordial soup" are facts. Have you ever examined these things for yourself? Or just assumed, well the science book says so. :)

thanks, and that's all.

Huh?

Man, let me tell you that genes are like letters. They together may have either meaning, be destructive or have no meaning at all, because they have an effect in a combinatory way. The molecules that form genes were possible because of this primordial soup. It's not true that there's loss of information as there can't be loss if you have a book created in this age with the alphabet you know and compare it with an ancient book written with the same letters: The letters are the same, the combination is new. Genesis is wishful thinking. It's not truth.

Man, what do you mean?

Your posts are the most surreal. In no time of day I can't seem to understand and I try. There's one post of yours when we discussed Katrina that really comprised comprised the whole thing. I tried with all possible meanings with a few of yours and maybe because english it's not my mother language.

I beleive the original post was correct -

"No man is an island- Much as we may feel and act as individuals , our race is a single organism, always growing and branching - which must be pruned regularly in order to stay healthy. This necessity need not be argued; anyone with eyes can see that any organism that grows without limit always dies in its own poisons. The only rational question is weather this pruning is best done before or after birth.

Being an incurable sentimentalist I favour the former of these methods - killing makes me queasy even if its a case of "he's dead and I'm alive and thats the way I wanted it to be."

But this may be a matter of taste. Some shamans think it is better to be killed in a war, or to die in childbirth, or to starve in misery, than never to have lived at all.

They may be right, but I don't have to like it - and I don't."

-- Robert A Heinlein

Couldn't have said it better myself. The opposition, by most religions but particularly the Catholic nutters, to birth control and abortion is what will ultimately doom the human race to drowning in our own effluent, unless we of the western world manage to produce a technological solution.

This is a more adequate forum for the kind of topics you're talking about. This other is good too but still young. I'm Chakra in both forums :)
