om... snip Quite true. My point is that DIS-belief is also faith-based. You cannot prove or disprove either the existence or non-existence of God. Either way, it's a matter of faith. That's all I'm saying. Who was that who said, "Son, don't be an agnostic - be *something*!" Rich "MY head is wet" S. |

You zealots continue to try to convert the whole world into your recent religion not realizing that evolution and science are the other side of the God coin that you myopically stare at. Blank and White, Who's right, who's wrong translations from more than 2000 years ago don't cut it. As usual the truth lies in middle. Apparently there's a good sized chunk of the scientific picture with which you're unfamiliar. Read this book, then come back and we can discuss it from a more educated perspective. Title: The Fingerprint of God Author: Hugh Ross ISBN: 0883686279 Should be available at any bookstore. -Dan (My apologies for the off topic post.) |

When asked what my religion is, I say I'm a "lapsed agnostic: I used to wonder if there is a God, now I don't care if there is or isn't."

Title: The Fingerprint of God Author: Hugh Ross ISBN: 0883686279 I've already read all that "Late great planet earth, biblethumping drivel by psedo-scientists and I haven't got time to waste on that. I've got objective books by Steven Hawkins, A brief moment in time, Robert Jastrow etc to read. But why don't you educate yourself on this one: Title: On the Origin of Species Author: Charles Darwin It's available at *all* bookstores everywhere. Evolutionarily, Your distant relative, pacplyer |

Yep. 100% all my own, although when spoken "care if there is or isn't" is usually pronounced "give a damn." :-) I heard someone say the other day: "I feel like I'm a citizen of the world and my religion is to do good." I used to tell my brother, father of some delightful neices and nephew to me, that my purpose on this Earth was "to serve as a bad example," usually shortly after I'd taught them something of which he would have preferred they had remained ignorant. :-) Russell Kent |

wonder if there is a God, now I don't care if there is or isn't." How sad. Apathy and willful ignorance - what a combination. I hope for your sake that you don't apply the same attitude toward flight planning. |
