Thanks, Smashing Pumpkins are one of my favourite bands. Saw them when this album came out, still got the T-shirt.

Where is the evidence that "mankind" is the 'supposed saviours'? And what about the womankind? Mankind; noun 1. human beings considered collectively; the human race. 2. synonyms: the human race, man, humanity, human beings, humans, Homo sapiens, humankind, the human species, people, men a...

No one can explain how life on Earth began, Are you sure of this? Absolutely, it's a fact. Okay, so why did life evolve again ? All will be explained, in my "Meaning of Life" Also, you are much different than most other adult human beings. Most talk about how it is easier to work out how ...

Since your so called "theory" has life, itself, starting or beginning at a particular time here on earth and you believe that life also has meaning, purpose, and an aim, then you will have to also explain who or what started "this life" here on earth and who or what gave "t...

Any "meaning" given to life has to be wholly personal. I disagree, most "meaning" of life theories are personal, and try to explain it in 'human' experiences,etc. However my theory covers the whole of life on Earth, from the 3.5 billion yr old bacteria, and the entire evolution ...

I haven't stayed up to date, did somebody explain that your theory is religion dressed as science yet? Do you mean like 'Intelligent-design/creationism'?, or Christian-Science? I don't believe so. My theory can be taken as having a religious or a scientific explanation, depending entirely upon whic...

Taking a break to finish off a few short stories and other 'theories'. I shall return, with updated Meaning of Life.
Thanks for your comments, I now know which sections need more clarification and research.
Yours sincerely - Woodster

of course a 70,000 yr drought isn't unusual compared with how long the Universe has existed, but what has that got to do with my theory? Because your theory, in part, is about evolution. Evolution and the Universe are connected together. OK, but to be clear my theory concerns merely the last 3.5 bi...

Yeah but why do you believe that? Most people believe this first, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be nothing more than fantasy. I suppose it depends upon whether you believe life has a 'meaning' or purpose, and evolution has a goal (which i do) People however are unable to see the real m...

The human-race would maybe then have fulfilled its destiny of becoming the Earths guardians. Sounds nice, but what makes you so sure that the human-race has such a destiny? I believe that the aim of any planet where life exists is the evolution of an intelligent species, no matter what form it will...

Also, 70,000 years of droughts or floods or earthquakes or exploding volcanoes, or et cetera and et cetera is not necessarily an "unusual event", compared with how long the Universe, and evolution, has been in existence for. Once again you're trying to analyse each and every word i use, a...

So, you can see and understand Reality exactly for what it IS, but others can not, correct Not correct. I never claimed that, you're getting it all mixed up, stop misquoting me. But to you there are NO eyes. They are just imagined things, correct? If there is only 'black' and silent, then obviously ...

Droughts, floods, earthquakes, exploding volcanoes, tidal waves, metorites hitting earth, lighting strikes, fires, et cetera, are NOT something "unusual" at all homo-sapiens experience. Nor are these usual experiences only experienced by homo-sapiens ONLY. In fact if it was not for these ...

It is impossible for any living thing to truly see, hear, etc, our surroundings as they actually are. Again are you absolutely 100#sure of this? Yes, 100%. 1/ When light is detected by light-sensitive cells in the retina, electrical-chemical signals are sent to the brain where receptor-cells receiv...

So, you had a "theory" first, and then went and LOOKED for evidence for "your theory". This is exactly where people fail. Believing some thing, and then LOOKING for evidence for that thing, distorts the actual real Truth of things. Maybe in some cases, but this particular signif...
