Re: Question for the biblical religious
Let me intrude
- sorry about that. I think God can work through evolution too. What I don't agree to is the idea of 'suvivor of the fittest.' If survivor of the fittest were the driving force for evolution, why not just evolve a super crocodile or even a super cockroach that can survive under most harsh conditions and which can just mindlessly gobble up any competing species - including 'pre-humanoids' so as to prevent the future 'bustards' from lording it over them and before those pre-humans can even think about putting them in a zoo. But why did it have to be human beings, or why did the evolution path choose the path of intelligence. Think about it, fellas. Believe me, if you think about it very deeply, you'll realize that it didn't have to be that way. But somehow, nature (or is it God?) chose the evolutional path of ultimately leading to intelligent beings, to reign over (and destroy - just kiddin' folks, let's relax a bit) the earth. I think whatever it is or Whoever it is, He wanted to ultimately create an intelligent being with feelings, consciousness, emotion, spirit, soul and more importantly, if not the most, conscience (although I have to admit many people has not 'evolved' that part yet and you know who) so as to put some meaning in this world. Farfetched? Just remember, everything in this world has meaning to it, even the evolution process itself, so is it not possible that we humans were ultimately created or evolved for some meaning or purpose. Think about it.
Besides, isn't this world or life itself boring and meaningless if we humans were ultimately meant to be consigned to nothiness? Is that all there is to it? All this thing called evolution? all that unimaginably painstaking process of continuous transformation from simple amino acids to magnificently complex beings called humans - beings that may still be evolving into 'super-beings,' just to be relegated to nothingness and eventually be completely wiped out with the inevitable end of the world? Or am I just harboring some grand illusion and pursuing some phantom dreams? Think about it folks. Besides, weren't we given intelligent mind to ponder upon these things than just thoughlessly be resigned to doom. Definitely not me, I'm gonna go out to this world with a firm belief and the feeling that this world is beautiful and that there must be a reason for all the beauty and magnificence in this world...
...and be happy - that's all that matters to me.

Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
