Evolution and Specialness of Humanity

Gosh, Ohnhai...I was gonna respond to you and refute what you had written to Prophex when I realized that you were sincere and that you indeed have introduced a point...an alternative way of approaching the issue. My God is big enough to accept and love you just as surely as He would if you communed In Him. Additionally, I am humble enough (hopefully) to realize that diverse and varied opinions is a healthy environment for education to occur.Perhaps the "specialness" within us as humans is our ability to allow others to disagree with us without feeling a compelling need to make them see it our way. Perhaps we were made this way whether it be through evolution or whether it be through a Creators impartation.Ohnhai>>I would like to hear your theory(belief) on how the universe actually began. I realize that this would be a Cosmological question/answer, so perhaps I won't hear you out here. Cheers, at any rate! This message has been edited by Phat, 10-22-2005 03:35 AM

A youth is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He will assume control of your cities, states, and nations. He is going to take over your churches, schools, and corporations. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him. So it might be well to pay him some attention. In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death, In years that bring the philosophic mind.--- Wordsworth

But what is the source of your beliefs? Is human wisdom and experience the only and ultimate arbitrator?

this will have to wait till Im fully awake, Mike. Im just so darn tired, today

a lucid and well thought-out reply, Zephyr! I don't have the same thought patterns that you have, so I may meditate on this a bit. I believe that the Creator started it all, but I can't provide any solid evidence of that belief. Maybe later, after my nap.Ken Jennings would be proud of the jeopardy reference, BTW!
