I'd prefer Darwin's evolution because it's scientific (no duh). However, I don't mind hearing other perspectives as long as the views does not infringe on our freedom of speech. Last year, there was a news story about Georgia putting stickers that said that evolution is only a theory and that it shouldn't be taken literally. Later, this was found to be unconstitutional.

It's a theory.. like it or not, it does make sense.. however it's very hard to proove since it's done in a so long period of time.
However, if you go to another theory, that one of the big bang is a little more complicated to adopt.. makes sense, but it doesn't explain why it happened...
how to get the quote/reply in a blue frame box? I'll look around the techie parts at first chance.
spotnick, possible to reccommend a book that you should be able borrow from the library ? Gary Wills- Why I am a A Catholic. excellent His follow up to Papal Sin. Huge History. he teaches in the States. was on the plane after leaving seminary school. Much paper work to exit, a gal said that Chesterton or whatever he was reading was heavy for his age. to continue the conversation with her the best option was to marry her. Got to like it. without admitting our Human fallibility we are nothing.
It wasn't just a dream. It was too good.
who said that "religion was people's opium" ? don't know if he had been touched by the hand of god, but I think he is right.

'religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. it is the opium of the people.' - karl marx
Darwin never did a paper called 'theory of evolution'
In fact the paper he did that people misconstrue as his 'theory of evolution' he left unpublished for about 20 years while doing something else.
As if I give a shit anyway 
the opium of the people does come from Marx's 'Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right.' that historically and socially specific ideologies prevent people from seeing the material conditions of their lives clearly. So this is all diversion tactics? :bass player:
all of these diversion tactics that are out there 
ooo the smilies may grow one.
SpotniK: if you check back---the recommended academic Gary Wills writes with twisted humour. Rich researched quality.
also the Monks of New Skete out of New York I think are Jesuit, train German Shepherd dogs and should train people too. Thomas Merton is brilliant too. Just an opinion. Hope that it's all good. Hope that you have a great weekend.

You click on "QUOTE" when you reply to a message... or you use the "quoted" function in the message editor.

thanks a million Spot- thought that i tried that a little earlier on. re: in the Allah/God/ Buddah pure amazing energy section or even the appendix/spleen part that wasn't mine originally and it messed up.
-- You should be able to get a english copy surely? Having said that one night in Hull in 89 and not much english was to be found..
try for a copy in french just never know. I'd translate them for you but could/would get garbled. the summary is that if everyone takes a step back and values simple strength and beauty many, many things can get experienced and excel. Ode to Joy beyond imagination. bien ? night. bon matin pour vous.
