OK, so the poll is even. Looks like there will be a few more threads and forum debates on this matter yet! (Was there ever a doubt?) Thanks to everyone that participated
It's really not high on my list, just hought you'd like the guttery aspect. Highest on my list would be buying a bush block and building a really cool, carbon neutral house on it. Finish my novel, build a cool boat, got a neat idea for powered prosthetic limbs that I should develop, tour the country with my kids, circumnavigate this country in the cool boat with my kids (maybee just some of it, I think it would bore the kids to death). That should keep me busy. And a nice twosome now and then (or more often) would suit me just fine.
Glad you took the time ! The question for biologists is "where does the genetic variation come from" and they are begining to solve that mystery at present. Bilateral symetry is not to complicated and you could read about its evolution in most text books as you could with the mutations you mentioned. Interesting what you say about physical laws and matter being created by a supreme being, he probably did it inadvertently and never has had or will have control over what goes on (if that's what happened)
Personally I'd like to see a religous organisation that focuses on people respecting, appreciating and having faith in other people. As opposed to doing right by people to please god and have a life in the here after, how about doing right by people simply because we are people and knowing that we all feel pain, have fears and wants and needs, we should all just live and let live. In this philosophy it makes no difference if there is a god or not. The believers can continue to believe, the atheists can pat them on the head and the agnostics can sit on the fence all at the same BBQ every Sunday.
Actually I can't say for sure either way whether or not monkeys ever ponder their existance but I do seriously doubt it. What I meant was, there was no god until intelligence evolved.
No ! The more information we have the less we believe in the old man in the clouds. Monkeys didn't ponder their existence until they smartened up a bit.
I'm going to start an exciting new thread
Ohhhhh yeahhhh, smooooooth.
