Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hello, my friends! Many people believe in the theory that was propounded by Charles Darwin in 1858? (( " The theory of the origin and perpetuation of new species of animals and plants by a process of natural selection and survival of the fittest. " )) What do you think about it? It will be intereting to hear your answers! Best wishes! Niki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Good Question. Darwin's theory is very incomplete, even if natural selection is an active part of evolution. I believe evolution requires an innate vitalism, and any good theory of evolution must account for this vitalism. I say this much in my book ( " Trinity: the Scientific Basis of Vitalism and Transcendentalism " ), still two months away from printing. But what does this have to do with alternative medicine? Well, it does! Vitalism relates to Tao (Eastern philosophy), it relates to an innate spirituality, and it relates to our intuition. Vitalism relates to Nature's organizing principle that we all feel. Yet, Darwin's theory is not about any of these vitalistic qualities, and so it is badly incomplete in a way that is important for us here . I believe Deepak Chopra, who is well known in the area of alternative medicine, will tell us the same thing, and he is now speaking out on the issue of evolution.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have a box full of elements such as silacon, glass, gold, plastic, etc. I plan to store them in a hidden place where the conditions are just right. Come back in 100 million years and there will be a computer in it's place with windows XP and all the Microsoft office products running on it in perfect order. Sounds far fetched I know...but no more than Darwins theory. A human body is vastly more complex than any computer ever made... think about the complexity of language and being able to understand it, being able to read another persons motives and make judgements that their words are not true because of small inflections in their voice and body language that does not match the words comming from their mouth(this is a very complex process if you look at it closely). We have complex emotions that are used to weigh logical descisions and we may decide for or against something just because of the way we feel about it or sometimes make a descision using intuition even though logic says we should decide differently. We have the knowledge that there are some things that are wrong and some are right and we know this with no real effort or thought, things that smell bad are replusive - ever wonder why you react this way. We have sight, smell, touch, you are able to read this text and translate it into words at a really quick pace and with almost no effort and understand the difference between the meaning of the words dye and die even though they are pronounced the same(this alone is pretty amazing within itself), and all the very complex things we are capable of all interwoven into a working system we call a human being. Most of which we do not understand how it works, this is very evident, even the most learned of men are still hopelessly ignorant. Science does not really understand the human body nor the workings of the universe, if we did we would not have this group. We understand a few things and we foolishly pride ourself of our great achievements but we have not created anything that did not already exist from the beginning. Nuclear energy existed from the first day but our ability to use it did not. We learned how to tap it so we pride ourselves and say we have created something wonderful when all we really did is to uncover the things that already existed, we created nothing. A computer could not arrange itself into a working system without intellegent intervention no more than we can, we were created for a given purpose. A few rules that are universal for you to consider... 1. The created is never greater than the creator. Has man ever made anything greater and more complex than himself. The example of the computer is pretty simple but the point here is that it is no match for my abilities and is actually a relatively simple machine once you understand it. It cannot repair itself, it is not able to take two complex theories and logically intermesh them together and see a solution for a third hyphothetical problem not stated in either of the two. The process of thinking and intellegence is very complex and above any machine we have created. Our machines only follow a set of sequential instructions we have given them, they do not think as we do. Without our intellegence and ability to give them the logical instructions they would not operate so they are only a small extension of our intellegence, they do not exist of their own. 2. All things in nature go from organization to disorganization. As an example take a brick that was crafted by intentional effort of the brick maker and organized into a square by pressing it into a mold and baked in a fire of suitable heat that turned the brick a solid mass.... It took intellegence and purposed intent to accomplish all of that... take the brick and sit it outside for 100,000 years and it will once again disorganize itself and return to it's elements. It does not become wiser, does not create bricks of higher intellegence than itself, does not create a wall containing more like itself and they together conspire to build a great city. Intellengence is required to make the first brick and to give it all the abilities it possesses, be it something dumb as a brick or something as logical as a computer. In the natural order of things - all things go from order to disorder, not the other way around. Order is achieved by purposed intellegence. Can you think of one example where this can be disproven? I end with short story... A man challenged God and said I have advanced so far that I am as smart as you. I can make life just like you can, we have learned how to clone so I challenge you to a showdown just to prove you are not so great. God accepted the challenge. They both showed up on the appointed day and God went first and created a new living being with full intellegence and abilities right from the elements of the earth. He said to the man... ok, now it is your turn. The man proceeded to unload a sheep out of the back of his truck to make his creation with... God said.... no no no, you are not allowed to cheat. I created that so you are not allowed to do a replication of my work... you have to make your own from scratch and you have to do it using your own materials. You cannot use my dirt because I made that, you cannot use my air either, or water... you must make every thing from nothing then our deeds will be equal. , " Jessica " <diqqah1130 wrote: > > > Theres a book by Haron Yahya that refuted darwinism you might want to > do search i know its available to read online just type haron yahya. > > , " Muhammad Mughal " > <mlmughal@> wrote: > > > > No No way! > > > > On 12/18/06, bulgarianloveangel <bulgarianloveangel@> wrote: > > > > > > Hello, my friends!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 No I don't. And the more I study science and the awe inspiring earth we live on, the more I don't believe it. I don't know if this is the right place to discuss it, but I have no problem privately discussing it. (kaijafon) but if you would like to, make sure you put something like " Darwin's theory discussion " in the subject line so I don't delete it thinking it's spam or something. A good question and topic to discuss. take care kellie , " bulgarianloveangel " <bulgarianloveangel wrote: > > Hello, my friends!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have this theory, which I have discussed with people in other countries, especially young people who have not been 'dirtied' yet. The theory is the only way I can explain the evil in this world. It goes like this - just like yin and yang, north and south ,etc... there are two equal and opposing sides to everything. That is why there is evil in this world, equal in force to good. While I lived in Peru, one day I was sitting around with some young people discussing how our countries could actually help each other, if it wasn't for the rules imposed by both our governments. We got on that subject because I hired them occasionally to help me and payed them well, which in turn allowed them to help their families. I told them that based on my theory " just as we are sitting around this table making plans on how to help each other and our families, there is somewhere else in the world a group of men sitting around a table discussing how to destroy people and their families. " They all laughed and said that maybe that was ridiculous, but maybe not. A few months later 9/11 happened and I remembered our discussion that day. So according to my theory, just as we post ideas and try to help each other overcome our ills, somewhere someone else is sitting at their computer discussing how to destroy us and make us so sick we cannot heal ourselves. Is this our world? , " Kim " <weeangel_99 wrote: > > I'm obviously way behind in my reading but soooo many things to learn > from on this group. > BRAVO!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 It's amazing isn't it how our little works? My Father asked me one day not too long ago why I do the things I do for people around me when he knows how busy I am in my daily life. I told him that someone out here has to do something nice for someone to make up for the evil that is being done. All we seem to see is bad news. It makes the head lines in all medias. I adore this group for the angels it beholds. Thanks for your reply M. Richmond. I agree with you whole heartedly.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hello, Well yes I think you are onto something here. I am american but live in Bali indonesia. Bali is the gem of indonesia with about 95% of the local population being Hindu. Where I live is still quite remote and still very traditional, in other words still very spiritual and Hindu is still practiced in its original form. What you say about the good & evil or yin & yang I see everyday of my life and it really makes sense to me. When a balinese person eats or drinks they automatically offer a small amount to the gods (good and bad) before themselves. This small act pays reverence to the good gods and pacifies the evil gods so they dont bother the person who has made the offering (so they beleive, and I follow.) Hinduism has been in existance for 4000 years so it can't be too faulty if it has been around for so long, still intact, still peacfully co-existing while other religions are waging war. Like a lot of the west I was born Christian but I cant say that I agree with it all of the time. Instead of denying evil, embrace it, realizing it is a reality, and deal with it accordingly. There will always be evil just as there will always be night, it is absolutely impossible to avoid. We can all work a little harder to enhance, embrace, and better our immediate area and the lives of the people we touch and in turn hopefully those people can learn by our example creating a world of overlapping networks of goodness and gentleness. (I sound like a hippy freak, but I am not, hahaha) I think respect is our greatest challenge. Once we lose respect for ourselves, our family, our elders, we have nothing left... really! When we die we die with nothing... all the stuff we gathered over our lifetime doesnt go with us. all we have is our family to comfort us. That is our saving goodness in this not-so-always good world. That foundation is what perpetutates goodness. Cherish your family and goodness will surround you.
