Wrong kind of cheese. :rolleyes:

And where did those come from?

There is no such thing as the wrong kind of cheese, unless it is the kind that follows the words, 'who cut the ...'

Even earlier lifeforms.

And again. And how did a dinosaur evolve from a microorganism? And where did the microorganism come from? The very first lifeform had to come from somewhere.

With that theory, the conflict is that dinosaurs are much older than humans. So, however they were created, we still came after.

I was just reminded of this particular conflict as my f-i-l sent an email about some bogus dinosaur find somewhere. I don't know that he knew it was bogus but my husband did a bit of research and found a link that claimed it all bogus. {checked and no link}

The thing is, they were claiming the bible isn't just spiritual because they spoke of the big beings! Okay, so, then, how does that go with them saying the ages of us and the dinosaurs? Always a conflict and they are never wrong!

And, Alex, I had to chuckle. My husband never gets very upset about people. He goes out and enjoys life and takes a-holes in stride. He was really pissed off {can I say that?} this past Sunday while we were walking on the pier and this family stopped us and asked if they could talk to us about whatever. Jehovah's Witnesses. Fine, like you said, I don't care what they believe in, more power to people for being different. But don't witness to me. I am at a public place.

I would like to thank all of the wonderful responses that have been posted. I know that we all have different beliefs, about a lot of things. Nice to hear yours and nice to keep it civil. :0)

Speaking of the moon, it sure was pretty tonight!! Leonid {sp} showers after midnight?

BTD - you're kidding, right?

Everybody sing to the tune of Auld Lang Syne:
We're here because we're here because we're here because we're HEEEEREEE....

Yup. For some, the inability to understand something is so scary that they need to plug in some easy answer.

I'd say that religion is our poor alligator brain understanding how things are. Science is our best-practices attempts at understanding how things are, hampered as it always is by our poor alligator brain.

I'm just being contrary.

CP, I feel this way sometimes when my son asks me a question. I don't always have an answer.

Remembering when I went to church. I listened to the readings, I enjoyed them. They were like Aesop's Fables to me. I learned something, usually something good. Like Aesop's Fables! Mostly I learned to live and let live and do it honestly.
