I read books, i read books 8ot 10 hours out of the day.These are math books though, they are not based on a hypothesis or a theory.the only difference between me and you is that i prefer a bible than biology book.
Why are there still monkeys around? The primate family is very successful, they branched out to fill many ecological niches. One branch led to apes, great apes, and then sapiens. Monkeys still exist because evolution is not a linear change but rather a tree structure. Bacteria still exist even though many forms of animals evolved from similar bacteria. An ancestor of humans, if ancient enough, would have been called a monkey by our definition, but it would not likely be a species that still exists today.
FYI: I am the Illuminati (or at least the "local" representative) here - comics are (officially) good, particularly Wildcats v3.0 &c. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Not based on hypotheses or theory? How little ye know... But then you've persistently demonstrated your *cough* intellectual *cough* failings in so many posts. Plus the, ah, minor differences of intelligence, lack of gullibility, willingness to examine new ideas etc etc. And it may be helpful for you to read a couple of books on spelling and grammar.
Oh, really? And how does one know they are a part of the Illuminati, by just self classification or do you sign up somewhere?:shrug:
I'm not allowed to tell you. If it were that easy anyone could do it. Sign up? You think we let just anyone join? What sort of secret society would we be then? Hail Eris! Ewige blumenkraft!
Felon, you are a strange cat. Assuming you subscribe to a Christian god, then stealing some cultures heathen magic should qualify as a conflict of interest. I say "some cultures" because I still haven't figured out whose shamanic rituals you are pretending to emulate. I noticed you mentioned using peyote, so maybe it's an indigenous American one? A thousand missionaries just turned in their graves. Lukewarm believers aren't allowed to use the "why are there still monkeys" line.
Then you can't be a part of them because everyone knows they have a "secret" word that they use to identify themselves.

Ie we could technically HAVE evolved from monkeys which look and act like contempory monkeys and still have monkeys now. Not that we did but its still possable
I know that the Bible says that God made creatures two of each kind. Sounds pretty logical to me. I mean doesn't anyone think that if we came from monkeys or an ape like being it would have been documented or something before now. Ancient biblical text written from eye witness acounts of all kinds of things happening on earth thousands of years ago. They never mentioned anything about us comming from monkeys and all of a sudden we start selling this idea. Doesn't anyone have any respect for those people who lived back then. They where the eventers of the things that helped us as a human race survive to this very day. Yet, they where so stupid that they didn't know the truth about what was happening on earth at that time. It' all just a bunch of lies isn't it. I seriously dought...
What makes you think they actually did know what was happening? Do you seriously believe that people back then knew more than we do now?
Sound rather illogical actually. If god is just waving his magic hand and creating people, he most likely would only have created one of each kind. The internet connection and computer that allows you to voice your ignorance to the world wasn't documented before now, either. Nor, was microbiology. *hint hint* It wasn't "all of a sudden" - it was decades and decades of research, observation and experimentation. Eye witness accounts are "all of a sudden" - didn't you know that? Did you also know that an eye witness account of thunder and lightning used to be claimed as angry gods? Do you still believe thunder and lightning are angry gods? Respect for them or respect for their ignorance? They were either deluded by ignorance or lying.
I am not of a specific religion, all i do is study them and have FAITH that an all-knowing, all-powerful "god" that created life and the universe exists.What sets me apart from you guys, is FAITH, i have faith in god.Shamanic practices allow people to interact with god,when you are in a trance, your faith grows,you realize that we dont "just" exist and you feel/sense god!Of course you need to have faith or the spell will do nothing.Peyote can be found in the deserts of the southwestern US.Its free for those willing to go forage for it.
Felon is absolutely correct. His faith does set him apart from many of you. However, in the interest of maintaining peace and harmony, you should look for a common denominator. For example, his ability to reason and the will and intelligence to understand himself and his own motivation is not dissimilar to that of about 80% of this site. That is assuming, of course, that someone's sock drawer hasn't suddenly turned up yet another mismatched pair.
What does mind altering drugs have to do with experiencing the presence of God. Although I'm not quick to judge one for the use of mind altering drugs becuase I have used them myself. But without them the presence of God is still real. I have no need to run out hundreds of miles to find something that I believe is going to bring me closer to God when he is already here with me. Besides the use of mind altering drugs is very dangerous when it comes to spiritualism because a relm has been opened up of all kinds of gods and demons. Just only saying be careful of what you practice because I know from experience that drugs is nothing more than the devils play ground.
