    bingo, I made more money working my way through school as a small contractor than I ever would've as a even a PHD scientist. Eventually I saw that all but the absolute elite were still living off stale beer and cold pizza with the same drunken roomy they had "back in the day". Not exactly a glamorous life style. Not sure I made the right choice but I eventually just went with another contracting job, jobs in my chosen field of science were about as common then as the Dodo bird is today.

    Its a ludicrous assertion by people who can't possibly have any real affiliation with the scientific community to say they are money hungry or corrupt, On the contrary, most are starving because of there principals.

    You are way down the line of knowledge, do you have a TV or a Library nearby.

    I can explain in detail how butterflies wings have eyes on it and all other unusual markings such as black and white people.

    Its quite simple when you can understand and will give you a refreshing outlook on life knowing where you came from and how things work.

    Ive heard about the education system failure in USA but did not Know it was as bad as this.

    It starts with something called mutation a natural phenomena of life on this planet, the back bone if you like of evolution.

    If life can be prolonged by the mutation then the chances of it being passed through the genes are greater. This does not happen on a Tues afternoon but over millions of years.

    Mongolism is an extreme form of mutation as is of no use to the human race and is not replicated quite simply by the fact that no one would want a child with a mongol.

    This can be simply a wart on the nose where as a woman would not fancy a man with a wart on the nose and therfore we don't have them.

    The connections between dinosaurs and birds run deeper than just hollow bones and egg laying. Like feathers, for example. At least a dozen different genera of feathered theropod dinosaurs have been found....

    In other words, the connection is more than just half-baked speculation; there's serious evidence backing it up.:)

    Thanks! I didn't know that. I don't have a problem with evolution. Evolution and creation can happily co-exist in my philosophy. even Panspermia, because the alien life that may have seeded earth was also , still, created by God.

    Seems the evolutionists are the narrow minded ones can't abide creation.

    The one conflict I do have is, NObody's making a monkey out of ME!
    Anybody tries I'll go APE SH-T!

    :D

    No one's trying to make a monkey out of you. We're part of the Hominidae -- an African great ape, and akin to gorillas, orangutangs, chimpanzees and bonobos. I no more have a problem with that than a thoroughbred race horse should have a problem with being related to donkeys and zebras, or a German Shepherd should have a problem with being related to dingos and coyotes. It's where you wind up that counts, not where you started.

    There's no sense or purpose in believing there's some sort of impermeable firewall between humans and other animals that makes us completely unique. we're all God's creatures, and the differences between us and other species are mostly a matter of degree, rather than something fundamental.

    Although if you stack up enough differences to enough degrees, the results can be pretty impressive.:)

    I like occam's razor. The simplest explanation is the best. The difference between man and beast for Christians is the immortal soul. In some religions animals have them too. Not Christian.
    I prefer God created us special, our spirit an image of his, and has special plans for us.
    It's comforting and elevating.
    it's also the simplest explanation.

    What's so simple about deciding God picked only one of his creations to have a soul? Seems a little egocentric to me, and more unsettling than comforting. Like we were the only ones he cared about, and all the rest are just throwaways. I think if He's an infinite being, he has room for infinite love of all his creations....

    If I have a soul, there's no doubt in my mind that my Beagles would have been given one too. And if they weren't, I seriously doubt I have one either -- or want one.

    I repeat: we're all God's creatures. Have you ever been up close and looked a coyote in the eye? He looks right back, and there's a person behind those eyes. Not a human-type person (despite Walt Disney), and maybe not one as intelligent as you or me in some ways, but definitely a self-aware being.... can beings be self-aware yet have no soul?
