Hi, I haven't been back here in a while, so it's good to see you are still posting. True, life will never be the same as it was before T. My thoughts are, my family and friends will never fully understand what has happened to me, that is, unless they get T....which I wouldn't wish on anyone. The...

Hi John_415, great topic and thanks for starting it. I have come to believe that grateful people cannot be bitter and bitter people cannot be grateful, based on my personal observation of the living. We have problems, OK? But I guarantee no matter who you are there are others in far worse...

Woah, I am not trying to get anybody kicked off of anything. I thought we were expressing our opinions.

Hi Contrast, interesting reads, however feathers and scales are apples and oranges. Has anyone observed a feather morphing into a scale or a scale becoming a feather? No. These are not facts, they are theories. A skinned cat looks very similar to a skinned rabbit. Are those species closely...

It's a religion. You have to have a mighty strong faith to believe you came from a rock. Or stardust, or whatever it is they are saying now. Used to be pond slime back when I was a kid. :)

Not possible. How does the body find food while waiting billions of years for the eyeball to develop? makes me hungry just thinking about it. hehe

You're right, I'd forgotten his stance on slavery. Was just reading a bit from the literature. He was a mixed bag, was he not? I suppose we all are in one way or another...walking contradictions that is. Still, the study of an eyeball, for instance. That alone, so complex, extraordinary! That...

What junk. Sorry, but it is.

The break between man [and his nearest allies] will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead as present between the negro or Australian (aborigine) and the gorilla. (Descent of Man. ~...

But Darwin was a racist. His words speak to that, loud and clear.

See what we've done? You and I have looked at the same evidence and concluded in opposition. You know why that is? I believe it must be our perspective, or vantage point. World view, whatever you want to call it.

Is it logical to assume truth is determined by popular vote? Who are these people? Will they loose their job if they go against the institution? Their bosses? oops.

Surely you must recognize there are multiple sources questioning the authenticity of Lucy. Reasonable to conclude you and I may never agree on Lucy, and also you and I are not privy to check firsthand for ourselves. We may only decide which side we will believe...the one saying it's almost a...

My new friend I must respectfully disagree. That the evidence is strong, that is. What was the purpose of fabricating an entire creature called "Lucy" with only a bone or 2? So much of that stuff is fake, and all about the money. If you haven't investigated it unbiased I urge you to do so...

Off topic, but I find listening to Beethoven "Silence" makes my ears feel better. I'm listening now with headphones, softly.
