^^^ Thanks for the link. I will put my faith and trust in a divine creator. Besides, there is evidence for that--much more so than there is for evolution, IMO. |

i had a look around the website and had to laugh I found this: [dohtml] <table> <tr> <td><p align="center"><img src="ismp-1.gif" width="79" height="61" alt="ISM is truth (the instinct of Humans with no frills)"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align="center"><img src="ismp-2.gif" width="110" height="23" alt="Revises it's conception of truth when necessary"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align="center"><img src="ismp-3.gif" width="143" height="24" alt="Enhances social compatibility and exhaults wisdom which is a means to growth"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align="center"><img src="ismp-4.gif" width="180" height="26" alt="Enhances social compatibility without providing a means to growth"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align="center"><img src="ismp-5.gif" width="212" height="27" alt="Denies various aspects of Human instinct and rejects the will to power"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align="center"><img src="ismp-6.gif" width="252" height="29" alt="Various incomplete conceptions of truth"/></td> </tr> </table> [/dohtml] Here and then the site goes on to claim:
Even though the have a diagram of a pyramid implying Judaism is closer to there train of thought than the other religions Funny that Somerled should post something from a website that holds Judaism in such high regard :lol: |

Somerled, Although I found the site interesting, I also found that it is filled with speculation, no more or less than a believer would be (or is). Again, it comes down to what one is willing to believe--whether it be scientifically-based or theologically-based.
I've read this before in books on Primitive religions and (esp.) Animism. I find it fascinating, although I reject it nevertheless. |

I find much of what is on this site to be conjecture, but presented as inevitability.
To the author of the site this seems a forgone conclusion. Look at the language he uses. A tremendous increase in population means a 1 million fold increase in the number of geniuses? Idiots and bureaucrats out number geniuses already. So I guess if they get a proportionate increase in their numbers as well, we can safely assume that it will be even harder to detect a bonafide genius than it is now! Then there is the ever increasing possibility of some population shattering epidemic of unimaginable proportions which could possibly throw us right back to an earlier point on the timeline... |

^^^ Good points. This is why critical thinking is so important.

It's a strange but fascinating link. The first thing that came into my mind were the songs, "The Visitor" (I don't recall the name of the group but it was a one hit wonder) and Gowan's "Strange Animal." Maybe this will confirm the theory we are the end product of an evolution from chimps instead of apes?

^^^ Digifan, Thank you for using the word theory. That doesn't burn bridges for future conversations on the subject.

Mmmmm.................. Really didn't get much from that link. And we're still barbarians. In fact, we're still the same people we were 8,000 years ago at the waterhole. It's just that now we call it the "mall", and we get there in our SUV while yakking on our cell phones. The only hope for human civilization is to make ME supreme dictator. Hey, at least there'd be another Star Trek series. |
