Striking indeed! It's beautiful. Hoping Yule's renewal is gonna be positive for everybody! Kal / Alex

Hi Juantoo3, I know you mean no harm ;) As for your question : no, my question doesn't imply any connection to a spiritual existence. Whether the link has always been there, that we imagined it at some time, that our consciousness awoke to it sometime, or that no such divine exists.. I have no...

Hi Alexa, yes indeed. I'm studying anthropology. I must say that sometimes, the texts I'm reading are quite rough on one's beliefs! Brian, I agree too... it all comes up to how you look at it : many possibilities, no real answer... Hi juantoo3, yes we have met already in a...

Hehe, no that's my own words.. Let me try to clarify what I meant : Every so often, a mutation will happen in living beings. It could be positive or negative. Most often it will be negative and will create disorders (i.e. hereditary troubles) but sometimes it will make the new "mutant" more...

Why? :) From an evolutionist point of view, doesn't it make sense? Kal

To set things straight (sorry for the pun), Canada as a whole doesn't recognize same-sex mariage. It is recognized in 5 provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, and Nova Scotia) and in the Yukon territory. The country's Supreme Court has being asked to look at the issue and...

I recently stumbled upon a Robert Winston's theory about religion in his book "Human instinct". In my words : Nature would have selected the "religious' mutants" (people who had developped a sense of the divine) because this thought favoured a stronger sense of community, thus, a safer place...

One word : bravo :)

Well, I do see it in a very different way now. ;) If I may ask, where would you draw the line between miracle and magic? Kal

Hi again Mohsin, With the amazing quantity of planets in the universe, dont you think it's just normal to have one (at least) that has all those 5 caracteristics? As for the atmosphere, many lifeforms don't need those proportions (just think of everything that lives in water). If our...

Mohsin, What is your opinion about all the skeletons and fossiles that are discovered each day in Africa (i.e in the Rift Valley), which are, by many methods, dated to up to 4,2 millions of years. Archaelogists clearly claim that they belong to an earlier stage of human evolution. They can even...

This topic was inspired to me from the "Theory of Evolution Conflict" in another thread. I believed that reincarnation was a possibility. That said, I'm searching answers to a question : How can we reconcile that belief with all the archelogical evidences we've found? Assuming the "fact" that...

Well ... that's a way of seeing it.. Personnaly, I don't fear death, I know it's unavoidable, but I love life too much to tempt faith like that. You may need that challenge to appreciate life at its maximum but I, and many others I think, don't. Kal

Hm.. I was actually refering to the fact that my heartbeat doubles its speed ... that can't be a good thing... One could argue that I should be able to control that with my mind, but my mind works much better without drug so I don't see the point ;) To me, they had an obstacle to my lucidity...

A discussion about "Jesus walking on water" shouldn't be followed by another one about "Searching for Jesus". (juantoo3, I love your last one ;)) Kal

Dear Samabudhi I don't want to be moralizing but here are my 2¢... What help could you have gotten if it had turned wrong on the top of the mountain? I think the solitude needed for meditations (most of them) is difficult to mix with the proximity of others I would try to get while using...

Greetings Susma, Oh, I was wrong then. It was a general feeling I got while reading your different posts. This may not be the good topic to speak about your faith but I'm wondering about what you refer to when you speak of post-graduate christianity (was that it)?

Dear Susma, For an atheist such as you, your last comment sounded pretty much like a Church-written text for the enlightened people possessed of working intelligence (as opposed to the unintelligent non-believers). How about this theory : no one should try to codify Love or its expression...

Greetings, I understood the post the same way Vajradhara did... was that your point? IMHO, even though the concept of uniting main occidental religions toward the same peaceful goal is praiseworthy, the other concept you refer to (3 religions vs the annoying other faiths or atheism) is much...

It's the first time that I reply to one of your texts, but I could have said the following for each of them : You're really amazing to create emotions to your readers, this particular one made me smile the whole time and I even felt as if I knew what it was to be a hero to my own little girl...
