A facebook exchange with John Clemmer:
-My comment on the FB group “finding 1 million people who believed in evolution.” Which started this exchange.
There are many more than that, if you can get them to chime in. I am naive enough to imagine that someone could not know that things, all things, evolve. The facts are there and it is a matter of belief to not accept them as an extremely factual truth.
There has never been a beginning, there will never be an end. Existence has always existed. Evolution/Creationism is a mute point. Contemplate eternity and infinity.
Correction....are mute points.
My spiritual self likes that; but during that existence it is impossible that things don't evolve. Otherwise there would be no time. (although Kurt Goedel theorized that there was no time either)
I answered someone on the site about this as follows: It's factual!!! If the table in front of you is a table then evolution also is evolution-- it exists as much as the table exists. Bones in rock strata from millions of years ago are there just like the table.
I am wearing a peice of amber on a chain that has a mosquito looking bug in it from 30 million years ago.
So, you don't need to beleive in evolution. It is a fact and is better than any fact that is doesn't happen.
But then if you want to get spiritual my Buddhist self knows nothing exists.
Right, it's all illusion. Believing in anything, is just a belief. Knowing goes beyond belief. Like I know rocks are hard and water's wet, usually.....
Nate, I just noticed your profile image, exquisite. Now that's something real, beauty!!
I agree with the time thing. If one believes in time, then one must believe in evolution. It's completely logical. Creationism, in my humble opinion, is a fairy tail.
Thanks, Rosanna took it as we started to hike back from the NW point of Oahu. I've always thought it was magical. I commented on it when I posted it last week: My new profile photo was taken on the northwest shore of Oahu. We were hiking back from the point. That's Danny, our son who died of melanoma in 1998, ahead of me in the rainbow mist.
John:
It is magical. Moments like that are a very rare capture.
