    Evolution

    Are fencers really apes with sticks?
    Last edited by C.J.; 05-26-2004 at 09:14 PM. Reason: due to the resentment of referring fencers as monkeys
    Maybe, perhaps, likely, possibly, probably, potentially.

    That is probably the silliest thing I have heard ^_^. But I do think that we are a way more advanced form of monkeys with sticks.

    Punctuated equilibrium (it just rolls off the tongue, doesnt it?)

    Not so sure what theory explains sabre fencers...

    Actually, I think punctuated equilibrium belongs to the replacement theory.

    and sabre fencers are definitely in the category of extraterrestrial intervention.

    Other. it doesn't really matter to me, so I don't have a firm belief. I'd like to know, but I wouldn't be suprised if any/all of these are true. . .

    Here is a good article about the difference of continuity theory and replacement theory.

    I tend towards Deism, that is, a clockwork universe with a God-figure as the clockmaker. I am, however, of an agnostic/athiestic stand in reference to all the as of yet proposed envisionings of this God figure (ie. the Judeo-Christian model).

    My religion teacher gave me a really good reason for the way the world is. That it says in the Bible that God made heaven and earth in 7 days, but for 7 days to God, could be billions of years here on Earth. Since God is Past, Present, and Future, I think this sounds reasonable enough to me.

    I think Labouche thinks something like that. . .

    That site is very interesting...I'm a reconstructionist Jew, but the site basically says what I believe, with a few exceptions. I showed it to a friend of mine who varies between "God could possibly exist" and "religion causes too many problems, there's no proof of God, people are stupid," and he discovered that it's the closest thing he's found to agreeing with.
    "Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be: and if it were so, it would be: but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."

    One of the issues I have with creationism: He's God. Why does he have to rest on the seventh day?
