Hello all, Sorry if I'm getting off the subject, but there's one thing which keeps bothering me when it comes to this kind of question: every man is endowed with reason, the power of understanding, and the capacity of language. Logic/mathematics has been developed along with our evolution? Isn't it simply impossible?  I cannot think of language as a human invention either.  Aperisic wrote: Whatever, a dolphin wouldn’t change my point. The theory or concept or hypothesis proven and unproven, it is not that important for what I want to say. The truth is always beautiful. What I do want to say about the troubling point in the theory of evolution - it is not that we have technically a common design to many other creatures in this world.  This idea is actually very pleasant and it had been new. (Yes...  What would the theory of natural selection explain to us, about us, I wonder...?)  Aperisic wrote: My point is that the Universe is not irresponsible. Would you care to elaborate your view a bit more, Aperisic?  I'm just curious!

I gave a very clear answer yet that one was deleted by Nona the Brit (or at least I received such an e-mail) The reason given: Duplicate post.

If the post was duplicate the other "duple" would be still here, but there isn't any. I wasn't rude at all in the post, quite contrary, but yes this is a controversial subject. I won't bother writing it again when someone is going to delete it again. I doubt this one won't be deleted as well. (Please, do not try to explain why you deleted it and make me an idiot or giving some logical excuse. It is OK. I understand. But at least I will not stop thinking otherwise. And that is enough.)

Now, where were we? Ah yes, that limp-wristed evolution business.

Sorry Asperesic, that deletion was an error.

I looked at the post but thought it merely contained a duplicate of your previous post, not a new comment as well. It can get a bit confusing when most of the post IS a duplicate due to a long quotation of a previous post. We do get a lot of duplicate posts here as it is easily done - I've made duplicate postings myself in error and had to delete the extras. As this was not actually a duplicate, I apologise, and would encourage you to repeat the post.

I can assure you that I have no reason to lie about the reason I deleted it nor any special interest in your opinions on evolution etc. There was no element of censorship in my action yet you have leapt to some rather insulting conclusions about all this haven't you.You accuse me of lying in my reason for deletion. I do not lie Asperisic. I also do not delete posts because of my feelings or belief about their topic, and I am deeply insulted by your accusation that I deleted for personal reasons and then lied about it. I am also concerned that you state you are not interested in even hearing the explanation for the deletion. Are you so perfect that you never make an error?

I made an error. I'm only human (however we managed to come into existence )

Just to clarify a little: Darwin's theory of evolution doesn't deal with either the origin of the universe or the origin of life on earth. But of course there are plenty of subsequent theories that do.

(Billie, can you point those things somewhere else? They're making me nervous. And what have you done with Threepod, by the way?)
