In this beautiful forest near my house, there's this old man who lives in one of those really ancient-looking houses. From the outside, you'd think it was deserted, but a guy does live in it. I've met the man before and he seems quite pleasent. However, I was absolutey gob-smacked when my mother told me that this guy lives with no electricity or central heating. In other words, he has no telephone, no PC, no TV, no lights or any other wonderful luxuries we all take so much for granted. My mother told me that he chooses to live like this & even cooks his food outside. Although it's unbelievable, I have great respect & admiration for this man as he seems to be really living a very environmentally-friendly lifestyle. Also, he seems to be living a very natural and traditional form of life.

I would just like to hear your thoughts on this man's choice of living & also if you think that if everyone lived like this, would the world be a much healthier place against climate change.

1)a)I’m na evolutionist.
b)The reason i’m asking is because i’m interested in your opinions, i want to know whatyou think. I have nothing against you, i just want to ask politely and discuss

2)In my question yesterday I asked atheists specificly, amongst other things, what would be like if there were poof that evolution was false. Results were:

a)Some people, by not reading the details of my question mistook me by an creationist and proceded to insult me (i’m starting to think some atheists are not the rocket scientist they claim to be. Still, relax, if you’re reading this this is probably not directed to you).
b)Some people simply refused to awnser the question and simply gave arguments like: “Its better to believe in evolution than to believe in fairy tales or the flying spaguetti monster”. Again, no rocket science, still looking back i have to say that i was pretty condescending in my questionand i guess that when you write what you want you end up reading what you don’t want. Heh.
c)Finaly some people awnsered my question throughfully, in a very complete way and more accurately than i usualy am able to awnser questions here on R&S. Still even those people did not, in fact awnsered what would be like if the theory of evolution would be false, they claimed it was hard for them grasping that hipothetical question. Well that got me thinking...

For me its not hard to imagine. If someone came to me and said: “Imagine you just won the lottery 37 times in a row, when you leave home to colect the 37th prize you’re suddenly atacked by a pink dinossaur, he bites of your leg. Just when you think youre about to die, Angelina Jolie shows up in a black mustang, she saves you by killing the dinossaur with a light saber” Is that impossible? Yes. Is it hard for me to imagine that hypothetical situation? Not at all.

Still, it is a completly different situation when people come to me and say: “imagine Jesus never existed” Well, christianity is a big part of my life, its my faith and it changed my life deeply. I have a hard time thinking its all a lie, i don’t feel confortable doing so, its hard...

I usualy hate when people say that it takes faith to believe in evolution, it offends my faith, my work along with my intelligence. So i understand some offensive responses from atheists when faced with the same kind of questioning (i really dislike when people say that atheists have faith in stuff, i think i’ve done a couple of times here but with a lot of reserves, and still the acceptance wasn’t any good, and i understand why).
But i have to say. You sure do treat the evolution subject like fundamentalists, pretty much like its some kind of dogma or immutable law, like me and my Jesus, you have a hard time imagining the world without evolution. Why?
Imagine youre a Jedi
imagine youre an autobot
imagine there is no gravity, that what keeps us on the ground are some invisible strings made of magic energy thats liberated only when we pee
Imagine there is no evolution

Here, let me try:
“Well, my work revolves around an evolutionary approach to insect digestion, so i can kiss my fundings goodbye.So i’m out of a job. My grilfriend is a creationist, so she wont leave me alone for a while, oh and i can forget about showing up at church for the next month i know what the minister will be talking about. In some time, i’m sure the scientists will find out what went on (thats what science is all about, right?), in the meantime i think i’ll go to the R&S section on Y!A, it must be a slaughter house there right now lol.”

Thats my question: Why are you so fundamentalist when it comes to evolution?
Its not hard, and probably not any good, still its been stuck on my head for sometime now

"AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch National Crime Squad has arrested a man on suspicion of trying to extort money from the parents of missing 4-year-old Madeleine McCann by saying he knew her whereabouts."

Fact is these nutters would have been less likely to have contacted if they had not gone around different countries on a mass publicity drive.

They also appear to totally discount and disregard news from anything other than their own publicity drive - WHY?

Black males seem to be commiting a large number a violent crimes. Often times it is blammed on racism. I think it's just bad parenting. When there are no fathers in the homes black boys in general will go astray. What can I do as a black male to help other black males become more responsible?

skirt, and when she tried to board the fifth avenue bus she found she couldn't lift her leg. she reached back and unzipped her zipper. it didn't seem to do any good, so she reached back and unzipped it again.
suddenly the man behind her lifted her up and put her on the top step.
"how dare you" she demanded.
"well, lady, he said, "by the time you unzipped my fly for the second time, l thought we were good friends".
