-Caveat Lector- Hello Bill, As stated, my opinion is strictly my opinion, and I do not require that anyone believes as I do, nor do I want to convince anyone to believe or not believe as I do. I merely state the facts as I see them, from my own personal research and education. I'm already pretty settled with what I believe and have been for over half my life now. So to tell me that what I believe is out the window... all I can say is that is pretty narrow minded to restrict someone else's system of beliefs, and attempt to replace your theories with in their stead, but ... believe whatever you will. Just don't insist that I believe as you do. You can call the Bible and it's truths mumbo jumbo with absolutely no facts or proof that it is... again, evolution is another one of those cases where most people who believe religion is a hoax, seem to also believe about their own scientific ideas... "Even though I don't have a clue how it all really fits together; but I believe it because it's logical'. This is also how many religions operate. Keeping their congregations in so deep, that they cannot or dare not step outside the boundaries of their religious order for fear that they might find out that it's not true. So, fear keeps it motivated and sacred. THAT is pure mumbo jumbo. So we not only have the normal religious fanatics out there, but we have the scientists who play pranks on people's minds with their so called truths that are clearly theory. What then is the difference between religion and science? Operationally, none, absolutely none. Bill wrote: >>it [evolution?] blows all the preconceptions and religious hooh-hah mumbo jumbo Right Out The Window...you no longer have to deal with all that false and erroneous emotional data<< If you want to believe that the creation as accounted in the Bible is 'false' and a bunch of 'hooh-hah mumbo jumbo' ... then by all means please do so. Hey, it's your choice. However, my input is that I could not disagree with you more regarding evolution, nor that the Biblical account of creation is mumbo jumbo. As a matter of fact, I find more truth in the Bible from cover to cover than any college professor, pragmaticist or scientist has ever offered in theory or fact, without any emotional drain or distraction. It simply outweighs man's thoughts on the whole thing called evolution. I've seen both sides of the coin, I've weighed the facts of both, and I choose the creation facts. This is exactly why I refuse to use my biological / life sciences teaching degree... I will not fill young people's minds with a lot of illogical evilution that has no foundation, other than it sounds good, and it looks good on paper, and on the charts. There is no evidence whatsoever to rebuild the wonders of life through evolution's portals, and as stated, I absolutely refuse to repeat THAT false mumbo jumbo to young minds who are confused enough in this society without that garbage. For I stand accountable in the end, and take that responsibility very seriously. But, as I've pointed before, my opinion is just that, an opinion, and it seems that everybody has one. I do not expect or even care if anyone believes as I do, or as I don't. It does not matter whatsoever to me to convince someone that they are wrong or right. All I can do is set the information out there, and if you choose to incorporate it, that's then your affair, and if you don't, it's still of no mind to me, one way or another. As long as freedom rings on the internet and in this country, it is of my belief, that I give you your space to believe whatsoever you choose, and I only ask the same in return. :-) peace, eagle 1 ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 16, 1999 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Fw: Re: [SC] Re: Kansas Board of Education vote onEvolution > -Caveat Lector- > > You know this is a very astute comment on the arbitrariness > of reality...cool...yeah it all is very ethereal and we are > sooooo vain and it hasn't gotten better since electronic > video media either...worse in fact....but the order of the > matter in the universe is discernible, and that is > enough...to know that fungus spores carry 90% of the DNA > required for life forms such as ourselves to come about is > like knowing that there really are pieces of intergalactic > artifacts being studied or otherwise revered on Earth...it > blows all the preconceptions and religious hooh-hah mumbo > jumbo Right Out The Window...you no longer have to deal with > all that false and erroneous emotional data....its very > liberating actually....this milieu is not just a creation, > it is Art.
