Could those of you who believe in evolution explain to me the "theory" about how conscious thought, self-awareness, emotions, and a worldwide belief in God (or gods) "evolved." Please note any laboratory tests, mathematical equations, transitional fossils, or evidence that you have to base your theory on from a completely physical, nothing-but-a-bunch-of-atoms perspective. I am truly interested in your answer, because as one of the "uneducated ones," I only have the ability to rely on my common sense. I did not have the privilege of taking those classes that taught me how to "get over" my common sense. Thank you for educating me.
1 Corinthians 1:18-21 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

It's almost as if they want to play up to the stereotype of what a gay man is. Is it really necessary to talk with an effected lisp, walk in a particular way and call other men 'she'. If you're gay, then that's wonderful but why the 'act'...just be gay and happy with it.

...just read that Brummie accent is the funniest in the UK, but for years, people from the great city of Birmingham have been seen as somewhat lacking in social style and normal day to day reasoning - id est; 'simpletons'. Could the truth be that people from the Midlands are more laid back than anywhere else?

the other day I was watching tv and I saw a pussycat in the farthest point in the corner of my eye. I jumped because it was walking from the front door, but when I looked it was gone. Then not to long after that I grabbed something off the floor and when I looked up there was a pussycat standing in front of me. There were no features and it didn't move. I looked away and looked back and it was gone. Any ideas?

IS Buddhism a religion? If you are a practicing Buddhist and hold down a job, how could you help me practice also? How would you go about trying to convert me? What are the pro's and cons? I've only just started reading the basics but i somehow get lost & slightly confused (duh!) Are there any good web-sites that would help me practice for e.g. meditation or prayer? There is a temple in my city but i work at night and i find the times of the temple too hard to manage.
