Re: What is LIFE ?
Several of you have asked how I managed to get to this very old age of 95. That sounds like an excellent opportunity for you to tell your life story, Ferdi. I am the middle one of 5 children and, may be the foundation to my good health was laid in 1938 when, at my age 11, our father purchased a sin...

Re: Christianity
Having read and enjoyed all Barbara Pym's novels as have you, Have you really read them all? I don't know why that pleases me so much, but it does. I think I understand you dislike any literature that sounds sententious. I'm afraid symbolism does sometimes sound pompous and Genesis 1 is no exceptio...

Re: Christianity
What a shame. But don't give up, you are bound to find a bird of your own to watch eventually.

Re: Christianity
You see? You see what I sense I am up against? Yes, you are up against an increasing number who are catching on to what a dick head you are. Now this is not meant as a personal insult, and I point it out merely to illustrate how the internet has provided a platform for no end of extremists and crac...

No, that's not the problem: the problem is that Evolutionism is accepted with too many "unanswered questions" in place.

Re: Christianity
I've noticed with a cautious elation that even in the last few days you have been a bit transformed! You feel that tingly effervescence, eh? That's called thought Harbal. Heaven only knows now where you'll be in a week! Not to say a year. I thought our business was concluded, Alexis, but it seems n...

Re: Christianity
I suspect Harbal is thinking of God as an extra- mental being. Unless someone else mentions God, I don't usually think of God at all. Despite popular opinion to the contrary :) I spend quite a lot of time thinking about this world we live in, and the reality behind the apparent; it never occurrs to...

Re: Christianity
I can't evaluate your opinion on God unless I know what you mean by 'God'. In this instance, I mean the God of the biblical kind. I'm sorry Genesis 1 does not appeal to you as a description of creation, as for me it describes as concisely possible all that ontologically can be described about creat...

Re: Christianity
Someone said this in a video I was watching. I guess he was mostly thinking of the Catholic Church, but I think it applies to most churches to some extent: 'It’s a bit like when you go into the army. The first thing they want is to take over your body, so, symbolically, they are going to shave all y...

Re: Christianity
Science is, in its ideal, a pursuing of evidence toward theory, not an upholding of theories that are contradicted by the evidence, is that not so? Then on what basis would we continue to believe in the story of "human evolution," when the evidence for it simply fails to exist? And this i...
