Philosophy - July 2007

`m not talking about the creationism vs. evolution debate. Thats been over with for quite awhile. We have the fossils, Dna, Controlled experiements, age of rocks, to prove Evolution is the way to go.

I have heard there is a debate within the scientific community about Natural selection. They are not in disupute that life evolved - rather they debate about what role natural selection plays in the evolutionary process. Some say it is the motivating mechanism - others say it`s not. I don`t know what is the arguement on the other side of the debate. If natarul selection is not the motivating mechanism then what is? If you could please explain to me the other side of the debate among biologist I would appreciate it!

Yes I`m aware this is a biology inquiry. I tried posting it over there with no sucess. Hopefully my fellow philosophers can help me out on this one?

every seven years since the day you are born every cell from your brain to your bones are new, none are the same as before, so if physically everything you are made of is differnt from when you are born how are you, you? and does this prove that you have a soul and that is what makes you you?

If it's a good person?

If this person had/have no intention to harm, hurt or upset you?

If this person had no idea that what he/she was doing was not good for you, does this make a difference?

Thank you for your answer! :) Have a wonderful day/night! :)

What would happen if........instead of using Weapons of Mass Destruction to do each other in, we fought our Wars with Love? Lets say we can't use violence against each other,only good deeds. No unkind words can be spoken aloud. Rather than expressing Hate, we have to express Tolerance? The Hostile Powers to be were jovial? Would that be a grievous threat to manKIND? Can we kill each other with kindness?

which keeps us FIGHTING.....
which keeps us STRONGER....

*** i havent cried over a National Georgraphic program, but i just did... it was about a grey whale cow(mother) who kept fighting against orcas(killer whales) for her calf's life....
very inspiring, because after 4 hours of brutal battery from a pack of orcas(12 killer whales), the mother whale never left her calf's side and were able to survive.....
another emotional day for me.... :-)
