    You can make a religion out of anything.

    Religion does not equal God.

    Nonsense...just ask any monkey ...perhaps they might have a better answer..

    Just ask any money?
    I suppose you do not believe dinosaurs existed and that today's animals evolved from that species of life.

    Ah, after the edit, it's monkey.

    It doesn't matter if we're here due to evolution, or creationism.......GOD orchestrated it all. God carried out the evolution cycle .Or He did create the first man intact.

    HHHheellllooooo, If we evolved from apes, then why are there still apes ?

    Evolution is an enabler for atheism. Evolution gives atheists a basis for explaining how life exists apart from a Creator God. Evolution denies the need for a God to be involved in the universe. Evolution is the “creation theory” for the religion of atheism. According to the Bible, the choice is clear. We can believe the Word of our omnipotent and omniscient God, or we can believe the illogically biased, “scientific” explanations of fools.

    Atheism is not a religion. Where do you get that? http://atheism.about.com/od/aboutatheism/p/AtheismReligion.htm
    According to my spiritual path (which I do not name for reasons between it and myself), science is in every way as important as religion if not more so. Religion allows man's mind to stagnate to one set of ideals, while science allows man's mind to reach into the impossible and make it possible.

    OK then. I will just ignore the paddle fish. That fish does not exist. No, not at all. All of those bones that are in those famous buildings are a figment of our imagination.

    My personal connection to the Universe that is God also does not exist.

    Thanks for making it sooooo clear.

    The Sciences are not filled with fools and
    Athiests are not ahered to a religous practice of any sort.

    Have a glorious day.

    Someone must have had too much time on their hands to create all them there dinosaur bones in the museums. The same dinosaurs that today's animals are claimed to be evolved from. Nope, evolution is a figment of a non believers imagination. If one believes in dinosaurs, then one must be a non believer according to Lightening From E's world. You're correct Fishy. God just went *poof* on me since I believe dinosaurs existed and today's animals evolved from them.

    Those dinosaur bones are the original Tinker Toys from what I can figure... what an imagination that person had!
    Colleen

    He made some seriously massive tinker toys. I think he had help from the non existent aliens. God only created Christians don't you know. Everyone else is just a figment of someone's wild imagination :)
    You do not exist Fishy. Sorry.
    FISH-O

    Carl's Alien ancestors.
    Brilliant Green/Grey entities. Yep! That is a big "For Sure".
    FISH-O

    Colleen... Why didn't you tell me that I don't exist? That would have saved me a lot of life lessons... I could have been sitting in a lagoon minding my own and not existing. I am packing my bags now.
    Big hugs, from the non existing one. I feel so un-evolved.
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Sorry again Fish, but then, you do not have to believe me as apparently, I do not exist either :)
    FISH-O

    Oh. This does create a problem. Now what?
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Quite the conundrum. We could ask Lightening for his advice but I'm sure it would go something like this.....
    Accept the free gift! "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son (doesn't begotten as in child mean there had to be intercourse? I mean he "created Adam and Eve" but he "begot" Jesus.) that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

    Does this mean we perished already since we do not exist?
    FISH-O

    We don't exist and so we could have never perished and will never perish or have eternal anything rather than are obvious nothing. I am a free floating bit of nothingness. So are you. Nothing in the state of something. Or, slightly something in the state of everything which is nothing.
    Oh my goodness. I will have to inform my Mother. She really loves me... this will come as a blow.
    FISH-O

    Colleen; I suppose that "Time Out", I am taking for work is also nothing. My work is nothing which really is something as I love my work.... now my love of work is nothing as well. Oh, I will have to change my medium. Clay is soooooo something?
    But then again it could be nothing as it has not evolved... or does that mean it could be something.
    I am a bit confused as if it were not for science I could not do the work I do.
    I am not an Athiest so that could mean that this is a statement that is something but then again I believe in science and evolution which makes me nothing once again.
    What about 'dem bones'?
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Oh heck, just take your clay and create a universe equipped with any kind of lifeforms you want. Isn't that how God created Adam? Out of clay and dirt and spit or something like that?
    FISH-O

    Clay... and a bit of spit.
    Ceramic artists require more respect. :)
    Colleen

    Moderator
    One would think that the Creator of an entire Universe could have been more imaginative and respectful too. I mean, he's not the one who has to live in bodies made of clay, dirt and spit.
    FISH-O

    I make some pretty grand items out of clay, dirt and spit. I have recently read an article about a ceramic artist who makes clothing out of clay, dirt and spit... I don't know how practical the clothes actually are but they are very beautiful.

    *Laundry bills would be considerably less. ... Bonus!

    Oh goodie! You can make a new wardrobe! Just make sure the delicates match! :)

    Now, the ideas are ... I am off to the studio! Ha Ha!!!

    Somewhere in what you said, I'm sure you believe you said something sensible. Fish and I were having imaginative fun. Don't you have an imagination Umbriel or are you too literal for imagination?
    FISH-O

    If I were gossiping, which I am not Moon-a-Ume (That is your name, Umbriel translated into Jasparian), I would be talking about Carlita and Fustio from Jasper-Kola 417... Now, those two got into a whole lot of trouble last Mengie-whanta-ko. Holey-skimolios!
    FISH-O

    Umbriel; I gave this a bit of thought and realised that I have omitted the Kolish translation of your name which is very interesting....
    Shakakaka-Ume-Ume-Booh. That has quite the ring to it don't you think?! You are so fortunate. The translation of my name is, Kahi, which actually means 'small thing'. This name is used a lot as it is the name of all small things that don't naturally exist on Jasper-Kola 417. Marbles are Kahi as well. Le' Sigh.

    @ C and Fishy-Ya know, I think the three of us need to spend a little lagoon time together...because I may not exist...but Colleen I'm bringing my lion (you'll see how "imaginary" she is ;)
    Colleen

    Moderator
    Everything is an illusion, even my lion stopper :)
    doolittle

    No! No! Not the lion stopper!!!!!!!
    FISH-O

    I am bringing Carl the Alien side kick. He loves lagoons and is fluent in 183 dialects of Jellyfishese, don't you know. (It was once called 'Jellyfishish' but it confused far too many people... they changed it to 'Jellyfishese' in March of 1987.).
    Le' Sigh ... Carl is such a talented Alien.

    Carl will be thrilled to meet a real live or not, Lion. Pretty exciting stuff... He is packing his bags right now. Three pairs of flip flops, moon screen and a sun hat. Carl is the coolest Alien on this here planet.
    doolittle

    Fishy- My thanks to Carl!!! I am soooo unnerved that I may be a figment of my own imagination I just can't bother speaking Jellyfishese right now!
    FISH-O

    Figment or not Swamy-Doo, you are one seriously cool green humaniod to us!
    doolittle

    Swammy Doo loves Fishy too!
    FISH-O

    Singa Singa-wot-wot*wot... we will be seeing you in the lagoon lovely ladies! Big hugs and lots of love all around!

    You sure can and like I said the last time you said this, religion does not equal God.

    evolution |?ev??lo?oSH?n|
    noun
    1 the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
    The idea of organic evolution was proposed by some ancient Greek thinkers but was long rejected in Europe as contrary to the literal interpretation of the Bible. Lamarck proposed a theory that organisms became transformed by their efforts to respond to the demands of their environment, but he was unable to explain a mechanism for this. Lyell demonstrated that geological deposits were the cumulative product of slow processes over vast ages. This helped Darwin toward a theory of gradual evolution over a long period by the natural selection of those varieties of an organism slightly better adapted to the environment and hence more likely to produce descendants. Combined with the later discoveries of the cellular and molecular basis of genetics, Darwin's theory of evolution has, with some modification, become the dominant unifying concept of modern biology.
    2 the gradual development of something, esp. from a simple to a more complex form: the forms of written languages undergo constant evolution.
    3 Chemistry the giving off of a gaseous product, or of heat.
    4 a pattern of movements or maneuvers: silk ribbons waving in fanciful evolutions.
    5 Mathematics, dated the extraction of a root from a given quantity.
    DERIVATIVES
    evolutional |-SH?nl|adjective,
    evolutionally |-(?)l?|adverb,
    evolutionarily |?ev??lo?oSH??ne(?)r?l?|adverb,
    evolutionary |-?ner?|adjective,
    evolutive |-?lo?otiv|adjective
    ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Latin evolutio(n-) ‘unrolling,’ from the verb evolvere (see evolve). Early senses related to physical movement, first recorded in describing a tactical “wheeling” maneuver in the realignment of troops or ships. Current senses stem from a notion of “opening out” and “unfolding,” giving rise to a general sense of ‘development.’
