Yet another example of astonishing fossil preservation

[brucelee]

Thank you Andre for that wonderful explanation though like a child, I could not grasp the meaning of all that you have said thus making your statements as fuzzy as my knowledge in Latin.

To Youngblood, you are indeed a wonder boy and a prodigy in terms of your knowledge of this world but like a child there are mysteries in this universe that we will never fathom nor understand. I must agree therefore with Andre on that aspect. Though we may think that our mind has infinite capacity, our biological makeup will always put a finite end to our understanding of this world.

What Bilbo did was to give us a proof that science and the bible do not necessarily contradict. In fact, if we only have enough scientific tool and if we are open to accept all the results of our scientific inquiry, it is my opinion that science will help explain our faith and will ultimately lead us to God.

I must accept though that I am prejudiced towards the belief that there is someone who created the universe. That is a blinker that I have decided to wear; I could not make myself wear a blinker based on the knowledge of man which I know is fallible.

The discussion involving metaphysical constructs is indeed something that will never be ended with agreement yet it gives me satisfaction that at least I (and Bilbo) have tried to unveil my(our) faith to others especially to those whom I believe to be spiritually benighted because of too much faith in science.No offense meant.
