Re: Evolution v ID v Desire
Evolution driven by desire, I don't totally agree with that, but I do believe in evolution driven by "mental focus".
My Buddhist view of the world leads me to believe that it is not the brain that generates the mind, but rather the mind which generates the brain, as well as the rest of the body. I think that our deluded consiousnesses produce this physical form that we consider to be "The World" but our conciousness is evolving all the time, and as such, the physical form which we inhabit also evolves. So I suppose I really do believe in ID, but the intelligence is not God, it is us! We are all our own God and we create ourselves. Wow, that was pretty deep for me. Peace @5 |

Re: Evolution v ID v Desire
I wonder, for those who believe in life after death .... what ol' Albert Einstein might be thinking (and "doing") right now!
Maybe he's adding to his theories, with a little help from even Greater Geniuses! Hmmm ....andrew |

Re: Evolution v ID v Desire
Jeannot presented this scripture in another thread, but man did it strike home for me concerning Evolution and Man, vs ID and Man.
"The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine. You are but aliens and sojourners with Me." (Leviticus 25:23) To be "alien" is to not be part and parcel of the original. To be a "sojuorner" is to be a traveler who seeks. In short, we are not of the earth, but alien to and travelers over... We don't "own" this planet because we are not from this planet, or not part "of" this planet? Could it be possible that this planet is a "foster home" for humans? It might shed light onto the fact that we can't seem to live within the ecosystem, but rather attempt to force the ecosystem to accomodate us... just some thoughts v/r Q |

Re: Evolution v ID v Desire
I myself can't wait till earthlings travel to Mars and see what's really there. Maybe we'll find a lot of our own histories. I totally agree with you and Jeannot on this one.
flow....  |
