From Christina's Journal: "Rest in Peace, my baby. Bobbi Kane Mills December 2006 - March 30th 2007
I wanted to keep you, and if I could I would. But I figured that this would be the best. If I had you, you wouldn't be healthy. Now you're helping people with diseases.
I love you, my baby. These past 4 months have been wonderful with you."
03:00 am - Chicken or the egg? This is all a question of evolution. Id have to say the egg. Think about it; When does evolution and all that added stuff happen? In the womb or egg. Animals dont just suddenly grow a leg or a wing (Unless theyre a mutant XD). It all happens in the womb/egg. The chicken came from an egg of something less-chickeny, before it evolved into what it is now. Lets run through it: Less-chickeny lays an egg! OMGAWDZEVOLUTIONHAPPENZ! Blam. Chicken. Make sense, class?
First off, what I believe in: I believe in a creator, but I, also, believe in science. I, uh, also believe in the paranormal and psionics, which is pretty much psychic stuff.
First topic: The Bible I believe the Bible is stories to teach about the religion and life itself. A somewhat based on actual events. My super-religious Grandfather once said, "Either Jesus was a prophet or he was totally crazy". A famous historian, James Ussher, calculated the date of creation (October 23, 4004 BC) according to events that took place during the Bible. Does anyone see how that doesnt work? What about dinosaurs? What about the scientific proof that earth is more that 3 billion years old? And the universe being nine billion more than that? My uncle did have a theory that each day, to God, wasnt a day but a couple thousand years. Even still, that doesnt fit. tongue.gif
Second Topic: Analyzing what DrewMac had to say. tongue.gif (Everyone gets a turn, dont worry) [Keep in mind, I believe in a CREATOR, not God. I believe evolution is real, its practically a fact.] We havent heard from God because he runs on faith. Theres an awesome section of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that talks about that. Lemme snag mah book tongue.gif Its during the part where Arthur (the main character) gets a Babel Fish which translates every language to your language so you can understand everything. Oh! And it lives in your ear. Moving onto the qoute. "Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God. The argument goes something like this: 'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.' 'But,' says Man, 'the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isnt it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you dont. QED.' 'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadnt thought of that,' and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic." biggrin.gif Jesus existed. Thats proven. Oh, and Christmas is a Pagan holiday.
Third Topic: Toilet_Duck With logic, you can prove logic wrong. Its all about perspective, baby.
Fourth Topic: Kam and DrewMac People want something to believe in. So that when they die, they think they go up to a better place. And if there was one god, there would still be many religions. Everyone has a different belief and perspective. One god could easily be mistaken to other people as another god. Allah could be God (Technically, it is. Allah = God, in whatever the hell they speak). There are many different cultures and its easy to mistake something for something else. But, theres only one true religion or none at all.
Fifth Topic: thedude Im glad you brought this up. Its the reason I hate religion. It makes people so fucking close-minded, it drives me fucking crazy. My cousin couldnt play Diablo II at my grandmothers house, but he could play Grand Theft Auto because she was afraid she would have to answer to God when she dies and that shell goto Hell because there are demons and wizards. And then the fucking religious extremists. Terrorists are extremists. 'Nuff said.
Sixth topic: DrewMac, again. "Quick question : Does anybody know what nothing looks like??" No. "If there was a picture 10 ft in front of you, and there is NOTHING in between you and the picture, would you still be able to see the picture??" Ah. Well, of course. But, those two nothings are different. That nothing is not having something in your way. The nothing of the first question is, well, nothin'. Its hard to define nothing. Its also fun to debate it. Depends on how you use the word, babe.
Seventh topic: Scott and DrewMac ELL OH ELL.
Eighth Topic: Verion 1. Your fucked. 2. Your fucked.
Ninth Topic: Final thoughts I believe in a creator for one solid reason. My uncle tried to kill himself, and succeeded. When he had died, he heard the voice of God saying, basically, "What the hell are you doing? Youre ruining my plan for you! Stop it!" And he woke up the next day, at the hospital, all refreshed and such. Thus, proving Gods existence to my Uncle.
