The nuclear power plant stands on the border between humanity's greatest hopes and its deepest fears for the future.

Hi All,

I have recently been discussing some very deep social issues with prominent users of these boards. One of the subjects that cropped up amongst the main topic of conversation was behaviour, and more pointedly moral behaviour. The question of whether we are born with a set of morals against whether these are learned behaviours, forms the backbone for this missal. As many of you are aware, I have a deep seated belief in ...

I dredged up a couple of old posts from the forum here, combined them and figured I'd offer them up again.

Since we see lots of things mentioned here in the forum that classify as belief, knowledge, and information.

And sometimes, not so much.

Anyway.....


Belief: 1. Any cognitive content held as true.
2. A vague idea in which some confidence is placed. "it strengthened my belief in his sincerity"

Knowledge: 1. The psychological result ...

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. Particularly about the evolutionary history of life on earth and how different species are related. I Have contributed various postings about my thoughts on the origins of life on earth and the effects that evolution has on species by creating a more successful model of same species by inherited traits, towards becoming more successful through adaptation to environment and climate and other defining factors. I have ...

I’ve heard and listened to both sides of the debate regarding evolution. However; I’ve never heard those that believe we evolved from monkey’s answer why monkeys still exist. Shouldn’t they have evolved with the rest of us? And since Monkeys still exist, shouldn’t there also be species between monkeys and us around? (and no, Bigfoot doesn’t count)

It's official, God did not create humans 6000 years ago through Adam & Eve! With the complete decoding of the Neanderthal genome, it has been shown that at least 1 to 4 percent of non-African humans have Neanderthal in their blood. And Neanderthals first turned up around 400,000 years ago. The simple fact that Neanderthals still walk among us is more than enough to disprove the current interpretation of the Genesis account of creation. Actually, ...

Lecture by an evangelical biologist at Trinity Western University on data from the genome projects and how evangelicals should respond to it.

As we move towards catastrophe, an emergence of living human tissue (trans genetics) will occur and merge our DNA with that of other creatures. A likely scenario is the common earthworm, and there are a number of compelling reasons for this. Firstly, earthworms are extremely common - an estimated 300 in every square meter of earth. They are also transmutative - as many gardeners will know, you can cut them in half and both halves ...

I thought I would list some crack pot ideas that seem to be floating around.

Earth is the only planet to hold life out of billions and billions of stars and man is the most intelligent being in all of the universes. He is the only one to learn how to get into space and he learned this all by himself when only a hundred years ago he had just learned how to make a ...
