(since Eve has been the the hungriest, she was the first one to take a bite out of what seemed like a perfect apple...) And then.. well, the rest is history...

...THE UNIFIED THEORY OF CREATION AND EVOLUTION[
Evolution of an Animal into a Human being is questionable -- otherwise the planet would be populated with various human-like Animals and animal-like Humans (although the latter is often the case even nowadays...) laugh

Apparently, the prehistoric Australopitecus might've evolved naturally... However, without an "outside" help they would never be capable of developing the Soul! (i.e. Reason)

And that's where the "visitors" might've influence the Evolution -- by installing the Soul into a pair of Human-like animals, named Adam and Eve... The rest, as they say, is History (or Evolution, if you prefer)...

... Actual names might've been changed -- to preserve their privacy.

P.S. Any resemblance to actual beings is simply coincidental!!! :smile:

Technology seems to be rapidly approaching a point where it can imitate a better version of real life, and I'm worried that most people would choose the illusion over their actual lives. What are your thoughts on the subject?

Frankly, I don't understand what makes you worried: what

that people without any friends will have at least an artificial companion?
. . . . . . . . OR
that you won't have anybody to make fun of -- because they (whom nobody wants to deal with) will retreat into their illusionary lives and desert you to deal with this harsh reality?

After all, technological advances, usually, appear in response to our needs...

So, DON'T WORRY -- BE HAPPY! ! ! :smile: :wink:

Well there is a lot of evidence. The pyramids, (all over the world) Pictures of flying things in ancient ruins. Ancient Airports and drawings of figures that can only be seen from the air. I'm sure you have been through all of those forms of 'evidence' and found some way to explain or disregard it in some way.

IMO, the only "evidence" there is, is using the modern mind, and the modern explanation. "This looks like X, so they must of had X" or "We can only see X, from the sky, therefore they could somehow fly"
As far as the drawings that can only be seen from the sky, I find it more likely that they were put there so that some ancient god could see it. (AS IF GODS DON'T HAVE BINOCULARS!)


Right, and again speculation of motivation is hardly evidence.

Get me some bipedal reptilian fossils along with unexplained devices that date back to ancient times, then we will have irrefutable evidence.

Give me some ancient structures that where built to accommodate these reptilians then we will be cooking.

If they are around today then get some skin cells so we can analyze the DNA and mark the ancestral divergence.

Its all a nice story, but unless we are going to write a sci fi book its all useless until real evidence, the kind that does not require speculation to be significant can be found.


Jeremy, for someone who calls himself a Scientist, you have a very peculiar disregard for SPECULATION which is the basis of all scientific breakthroughs!!! (i.e. HYPOTHESIS)

Also, as with some of the breakthroughs, they are never made public right away, but only after estimating most/all of the effects connected with unleashing the knowledge onto the public... (Or the knowledge might undermine the profits of some groups!):

*** 20 years ago, a scientist at the research institute has proposed a fully developed plan for the electric car. Unfortunately, people from Ford have purchased the project (and, probably, stashed it under the table...)
*** the reason I'm aware of the incident is because a scientist is my uncle________________________________________

Thus, as I mentioned previously, your text books might be quite outdated and/or incomplete...
IF ALL OF THE HARD EVIDENCE HAD BEEN WRITTEN IN STONE, THERE WOULD BE NO ARGUMENTS. . .

As for aliens (i.e. visitors from the future) visiting the encient Earth... Listen, YOU CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE NEXT YEAR, not to mention that of a distant future!!!***
Thus, hoping to find the remains of such a technology -- the hard evidence (like the pyramids of Piccu Machu?) -- would be a futile attempt because:
1) the law of Non-Interference is Universal (as in Universe) -- prohibiting leaving anything behind...

2) nobody would even recognise any of the instruments/their purpose -- in case the law of Non-Interference had been violated...
(in which case, any fossils might've been already discarded as some voodoo paraphernalia...)

Besides, God-like spiritual beings have no need for primitive silicon-based gadgets...

*** SO, HERE'S TO YOUR INQUISITIVE MIND: drinker
I applaud it becaise you don't accept any bullsheet easily! ! !

... NEVERTHELESS, I DO NOT COMPREHEND, WHY WOULD SUCH A DISATINCTLY HUMAN ABILITY AS "MIND READING", IS DEPENDANT UPON WHETHER OR NOT IT CAN BE MECHANICALLY (or ELECTRONICALLY) REPRODUCED? ? ?

CERTAINLY, FROM THE LEY-PERSON'S PERSPECTIVE, THE WHOLE DISCUSSION (FROM THE SKEPTIC'S POINT OF VIEW) IS MEANINGLESS... BUT IF YOU ASK ANY OF THE PROFESSIONAL HYPNOTISTS, THEY WOULD BE SURPRISED AT SUCH A TRIVIAL QUESTION!..

_________________SKEPTIC'S OBJECTION:______________________
Objectivism is about being able to reproduce results.

Hypnotism is not mind reading in so far as any definition of either that I have found.
Hypnotism CAN be objectively reproduced. It has explainable cause and effect relationships that have been explored by the psychology, sociology, neurology ect.
Mind reading cannot.
"psychic" mind reading when tested in a proper double blind study always comes near random guesses in accuracy. Or if placed in a setting like a poker table can be attributed to face reading, just like cold readings that common "psychics" do all the time.


____________________REPLY:
The reason I brought up the Hypnosis in connection with the subject is because my experience with Mind Reading has been through Hypnosis, i.e. a *Hypnotist*:
In my early 20's, I was lucky to associate with such a professional (and often assisted him during public performances...):
inviting 10 volunteers to the stage, instructing them to think of a certain object (of their own choosing), and then -- after a minute of concentrating on each volunteer -- correctly "GUESSING" 7-8 objects...
I'D CALL THAT "MIND READING" rather than Educated guess! ******

pkd1220:

That knowledge- then requires us to come to a conclusion based on our experiences to that point. We are ever evolving in our thoughts.:smile:

How right you are, dear!
I only hope the skepticizm is also affected by time:
Going through life with a closed mind -- explaining every new phenomenon with the same pre-packaged conception -- and demeaning others because they dare sharing a point of view.. that's a huge hump to get off one's back (i.e. changing His nature)!

Nevertheless, it seems, progress wouldn't be possible without skeptics, who empower creative people proving their points...

Hey, looks like we owe Him a gratitude(?)!!!

WHY CAN'T THE SCIENTISTS MAP OUT THE ORIGINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BRAIN, YET???


AHHHH, I think I understand the guts of your question. You mean where in the brain lies the seat consciousness, as if it has to be one specific part of the brain . . ..
The answer is that there is no seat of consciousness within the brain.
Consciousness is not a single thing. Its a patch quilt of a definition. Just as in your leading statement, consciousness is more then awareness, it includes all the facets of cognition, I liked your use of a "+" sign, very appropriate.

Finally, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! I knew that men are slow...
... BUT YOU STILL DON'T GET IT frustrated
The question which most of the greate scientists are challenged with (WHO OBVIOUSLY FORGOT TO CONSULT WITH MR."KnowItAll", aka Bushidobillyclub) has nothing to do with the specific location! But rather with the the origin (although the terms are synonimous).

Judging from your initial response, you too are jumping to conclusions before comprehending the gist of a matter -- and then have the audacity of accusing others of being simple-minded...
I WISH YOU JUDGE YOURSELF AS HARSH AS OTHERS...
Why are you so abrasive?

I have never called you names, or made fun of you. Nor ever claimed to know it all.

When someone does not understand the meaning of a sentence that can be taken multiple ways the right thing to do is to try to reiterate using more descriptive language, most times its the fault of the ex plainer not the listener, language is far too general to be used flippantly and achieve any kind of detailed accuracy.

Quote me where I called you or anyone else simple minded.

Your just trying to get a rise . . .

I have answered both contexts of the question of origin that I can think of, perhaps you could explain what you meant by the question if I have failed to guess at it . . .

******** Frankly, dear, you've managed to disqualify yourself in my eyes -- WITH YOUR INITIAL DISRESPECTFUL MANNER (HAVING ASSUMED TO BE THE ONLY ONE IN HERE) AND BY BELITTLING EVERYBODY, OR SUGGESTING THEY STOP POSTING ALTOGETHER.. -- because, in your opinion, they aren't scientific enough -- I.E. WITH YOUR NASTY ATTITUDE!!! I MAY EXAGGERATE YOUR CALLING EVERYBODY "SIMPLE MINDED",
BUT YOUR DEMEANING EXCLAMATION, "LOVE THIS CROWD", MEANS THE SAME...

AND NOW YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY OF PLAYING A POLITE AND INTELLIGENT MEMBER? ? ? (AFTER MY EXPOSING YOUR ROTTEN NATURE...)

JUST BECAUSE YOU MISUNDERSTOOD MY QUESTION (AND, INITIALLY, TRIED TO SHRUG IT OFF) AND THEN SAYING
AHHHH, I think I understand the guts of your question
, doesn't mean my excusing you... (or care enough to clarify it for you!)

THUS, DON'T BE CONCERNED WITH MY POSTS ANYMORE BECAUSE, FRANKLY, I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR INADEQUATE OPINION -- SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE YET! ! ! * * * (MAY BE IN 10+ YEARS... as pkd1220 correctly noted!) laugh

DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: .. Given that, clinically speaking, Consciousness is Awareness + Responsiveness to surroundings -- that is synonymous with Mind which seems to arrise from an interplay of processes in the brain (i.e. thoughts, perceptions, emotions, memory, imagination and will) -- WHY CAN'T THE SCIENTISTS MAP OUT THE ORIGINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BRAIN, YET??? ********************************** ******************

Was there a prehistoric civilization in Antarctica?


Oh, dear, thanks god you are back! I thought you have deserted me, or found somebody else to share your intellectual juices with...
This article alone earns you a very special treatment in my "Academy of Erotic Pleasure"!!! It is written in a manner of a highly skilled master of eroticizm:
... slowly building the thrill of the unknown and increasing the temptation of the enlightment, yet forever distancing the culmination... (driving me ever so near to the climax!)

. . . BRAVO, WELL DONE ! ! !

So, that's where the encient civilization of Atlantis has been located! WOW! Humanity is sure in for a great discovery * * * (that will sure drive the redefinition of the major beliefs!!!

I hope you will keep me (all of us) posted:
as I mentioned, I came ever so close to the "culmination"... (but still couldn't cum!)
Anyway, I AM GREATFUL TO YOU !!!

So then, imagining an unverifiable outcome which fits into one's definition of what would represent a 'just' outcome makes it a just world?

May be in Billy's mind -- if the scenario he pictured in his mind (i.e. dscribed above) would ever happen... Otherwise, he'd have to sulk for a while over the world's great injustice! noway

The evidence of the numerous observations points out to the following conclusion:

MALE CHILD IS MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOPE THE HOMOSEXIAL TENDENCIES WHENEVER HIS MOTHER HAPPENS TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS DURING THE THE 9 MONTHS TERM...

Its rare for an adult male to convert to Homosecxuality, except of when being forced into it (as in prisons). Though, some -- having discovered the male G-spot -- become bi-sexual...
