'Cause a lot of smart people who believe in a magical being in the sky tell me that evolution is far fetched. This being supposedly created everything and not only that, he himself wasnt created by anyone cause he has always been here even before time itself, which he created, btw, which isnt as far fetched as evolution.

A little OT but I always liked this quote/observation:

I lose sleep wondering about these questions:

▶ which came first, the chicken or the egg?
▶ where did Cain get his wife?
▶ what does the turtle stand on?
▶ what does the first chair oboist tune to?
▶ if children become racists only if their parents are racists, then where did the first generation of racists come from?
▶ if education professors teach teachers, then who teaches education professors?

1. Who cares, they both taste good.

2. (a serious answer here) According The First and Second Book of Adam and Eve (part of the The Forgotten Books of Eden, books that continued Adam and Eve's story after Genesis and have since been removed from use in the church), Cain (meaning "Hate") was born with a sister named Luluwa (meaning "Beautiful"). After Cain killed Abel, he went back to the Cave of Treasures (where Adam and his family were banished to by God) to bury Abel, left the cave with Luluwa, married her, and went to a forest and had babies.

3. Texas and Alabama.

If the material universes serve the function of being a "prison house" for the spiritual world, then it is intelligent to design some hellish punishments to bring people back to their spiritual senses (and only the material body "dies" anyway, the soul is ever-existing as a minute particle of "God" ...)

The main point I'm concerned with on the "Alternative Challenges to Evolutionary Theories of Origins of Life" thread on the Current Events forum is that life did not and can not originate from non-life by natural causes without being guided by an infinitely intelligent, unlimitedly conscious being (aka God...)

I believe that "life" can not be completely defined by material terms alone - there is a non-physical spiritual spark which animates all living bodies and manifests itself as consciousness.

Each species has a particular level of consciousness, and souls in lower animals automatically transmigrate to the species with the next highest level of consciousness until they attain the human form - ultimately meant for reviving our original pure consciousness of God and the spiritual sky.

The goal is to transcend the evolutionary cycles of birth and death and regain our eternal spiritual forms to partake in the "Supreme Enjoyer's" never-ending pleasure pastimes...

Humans who at least make a little spiritual progress transmigrate to a better material situation in another human family and pick up from whatever point they left off.

Hardcore atheists and those who act like complete animals without making even a little spiritual progress run the risk of falling back into the evolutionary cycle of 8,400,000 species (as described in the Vedic literatures...)

This type of knowledge is not attainable or verifiable by an ascending empirical or speculative process. Pure transcendental knowledge descends from the most intelligent being and is transmitted by realized souls in disciplic succession to sincere seekers of the truth...
