Can't relate to creationists at all. Since my earliest childhood memories I found religion to be a man made fairy tale. Why should there be a god? Why are humans so narrow minded and egotistical to think that they are the one the only species in the universe that is at the top of the pyramid of all life.?
Can't take one more pope report, I couldn't give a flying rats a..se

Yes agree with you.


I agree with the Darwinian theory of natural selection and evolution. It is still happening today and will continue to happen. I predict that in about a thousand years time, mankind will probably look asiatic because of population explosion and massive migration to other countries from asian countries. This is the story of evolution. Also larger animals will die out and small, nasty animals eg. rats with thrive and increase.

That kind of contradicts evolution doesn’t it? confused

Halv0: You know, it is all summed up in the word "theory"... that is exactly what is is. There is no proof. It is a theory of evolution. Someone wanting to explain things without the involvement of an intelligent creator.

Everything in our know universe has a life and death cycle. There is not one scientifically provable spec of evidence that evolution adds information to anything. Evolution, or rather mutation leads to a loss of information. This is scientifically provable.

Each position, evolution and creationism take their stance in faith. Evolutionists believe through faith that things evolve into better things. Creationists believe through faith that things are created and intelligent creation is continuing on today.

So both points of view come of an scientifically unproveable position of faith.

In fact all of human life is based in faith. Faith in ourselves, faith in our governments, faith in our friends, faith that when we sit in a chair, it will hold our weight. We all have faith all the time, and most of us are just not aware of it....


Look up definition of what a scientific theory is.

My ex said that anyone who took who ever met me would give up all belief in the theory of evolution. This is precisely the reason that women should be kept in the background and refused an opinion. grin

Predominate gene rules- if Asians happen to have the predominate gene then we would take on the Asian look and vice versa. Also diet and climate determent the nations biology and physiology .

When asians and whites interbreed, they generally have a child looking about halfway between the two "looks". So the gene for the asian look isn't dominant nor recessive. This is because it is determined by many genes, not just one.
I think Conduit was predicting that asians will predominate in time because they are more driven to succeed. Don't know if this includes the drive to procreate.

Yes you are talking about a generation or two but further down the line it fazes out and the predominate gene takes over.

Apologies for mad sounding part here.
It was just some huge meteorite collision that brought the end to the dinosaurs.And a new world.
This collision was a genesis for a new world but far from adam and Eve.
In the book of genesis.I read when sent reluctantly to sunday school.
Used to hide my bible and go see my rebellious friends used to get phonecalls if I was at friends church.They always dobbed me in.frustrated

What a load of bull crap? we should voice more of our opinions!!!!

Your all only discussing some aspect of Form Bodies, only one aspect of the mired of impermanent temporary forms that beings migrating from life to life appear in.
Like ourselves there form-bodies are made up of millions of impermanent cells, water and minerals. Like every aspect of this world, this universe everything, every aspect of all matter is in a constant flux of, including genes and experiences.
To berry head in sand attempting to make solid what is not solid, e.g, the “I” (ego) only leads to ever more delusions

Yes Obscuritan it also includes that. It is inevitable that there will be more mixed marriage/partnerships. Over a very long period way into the future---a thousand years plus of time, mankind will be shorter in height and we will look similar to asians/arabic. I forgot to include arabic people. I agree with you these people are driven to succeed. They often have many children in their marriages or partnerships.

Sorry Obsuritan, my predictions are wrong.....to hasty. I read an article in the age or australian years ago, on human evolution in future.I was quoting some of article from that newspaper. Trying to find the article...have not succeeded yet.May not be able to find it either. Please cancel both quotes on my predictions. However I still believe in Evolution... theories makes so much sense, rather than creation.

Sort of reminds me of a song way back in the late 60s about Coffee-coloured People.

My brother (blue-eyed blonde Anglo-Saxon) whose father is a very dark Indian and her mother is Chinese. 3 very differently looking children although all with black eyes and black hair.

My brother and sister are blue-eyed blondes while I am hazel-eyed and dark hair (okay, was). I married a woman with the same type of siblings but her more towards my colouring. We ended up with a brown-eyed dark-haired daughter and a blue-eyed blonde son.

Genetics is something that we can generalise with and predict what should happen. If you look at China, they have been invaded so many times and because of the size of the population, they have managed to reduce the mix of "imports" of the last 5,000 years so that it is not really noticeable to Westerners.

Have grown up with the saying "All Chinese all look alike." And the Chinese I know have also said "All Westerners look alike."rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

To many, all Japanese look alike.....short, squinty eyed and black hair. Yet in Honshu, the average height of men is over 6 foot.
