    Millennials, Please Just Shut Up

    It is WAAAAAAAY too early to be telling people to "get over it." Brits who are still upset at American, Indian, and Irish independence from Britain need to "get over it." I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough about the situation in Britain and the EU to have any opinion on this particular...

    Happy Solstice!!

    Nice! I should make one for myself...

    "Confused Rush Limbaugh Can’t Figure Out Why Gorillas Still Exist"

    Dude, it's by definition. Evolution is purely a reaction to a changing environment, and things survive based on the ability to live in that environment, or adapt to a new one. How can anything be "more" or "less" evolved like this? That's like saying English is "more language-y" than Mandarin.

    "Confused Rush Limbaugh Can’t Figure Out Why Gorillas Still Exist"

    No, we're not. We just evolved in a particular direction. There's no such thing as a scale of "more/less evolved."

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Yup, because complex machines have more points of potential failure, and thus inherently way lower luck.

    Space-Time and Theory of Evolution

    Not so much "part of", as "one manifestation of", I think.

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    "I think I could turn and live with animals. They are so placid, and self-contained. They do not lay awake at night and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing their duty to "God". Not one of them kneels to another, nor to one of its own kind that lived thousands of years ago...

    How would life be if

    It would probably look like some Orwellian nightmare. In any case, such a thing is inherently doomed to failure. All the people everywhere would, sooner or later, just by virtue of geographic distance, develop their own customs, their own dialects which would eventually become wholly separate...

    My Defination of Relgion and Faith

    LOL I am, of course. A life with other people in it. Obviously they care. And you seem to care since you're pushing this thing onto me. Beware the Straw Man, friend. Beware the Straw Man. I was actually profesionally evaluated, and my IQ is 138, in fact. I don't think you understand how...

    I am a christian but i have also started to believe in many gods and goddesses.

    That... makes no sense to me. Then again, that's only because I define the word differently than both you and the OP, so I'll leave it at that.

    I am a christian but i have also started to believe in many gods and goddesses.

    Suppose, then, that this power is specialized. That is to say, even the "most powerful" of the Gods cannot do everything that the other Gods can do.

    Sounds like you might be a henotheist.

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    How long have you ever lived with the same person?

    "Confused Rush Limbaugh Can’t Figure Out Why Gorillas Still Exist"

    Creationists who just passively believe their thing don't really bother me. It's the creationists in positions of power that I have a problem with. Granted, the article does say that Rush is not explicitly a creationist, but I feel like that doesn't matter. The same, as far as I'm concerned...

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    That's nice. But that's an abstract concept that refers to a myriad of various emotions, bundled up in a single English word. I fail to see what it has to do with eternity.

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    And yet in the kind of attitude you display, I see plenty of equivalence to real-life high-mass (i.e., bright and hot) stars. I caution against such certainty that you could never get sick of something. Because, consider also this with eternity: after nearly uncountable years, the night sky...

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Interesting choice of analogy, as there is no such thing as a star that will shine for all eternity. Furthermore, incidentally, the brightest and hottest stars have the shortest life spans.

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Do you truly understand the concept of eternity?

    "Confused Rush Limbaugh Can’t Figure Out Why Gorillas Still Exist"

    They would be wrong, Mr. Limbaugh. We are apes. :D Uh... wow. 1. I'm going to doubt you on this, Mr. Limbaugh, because, 2. No person who understands evolution thinks we used to be gorillas, 3. People who understand how evolution works also understands that the entire notion of "missing...

    The Lord Spoke directly only to one people and this is what He said

    What makes you so sure such a thing even exists? "Clearly?" What do you know of Kemeticism?
