Some of the population stayed. the rest went off in space looking for answers. This is why doom did not happen on 12-21-12. We have not hit this date yet. The population that went out into space had to do so in crude spaceships. They were not effective for long term radiation and eventually overtime the populous morphed into what we called greys. They are now coming back, monitoring us as we go closer to 2012 hoping that someone will find a fix for our demise and they can finally return home. |

Science is discovering many earthlike planets in recent times, but clearly the scientists are wrong because that would prove evolution right and be a threat to Catholics. To the reply from Sweden, is that the best you can do? are you not capable of debating? |

Moral Compass Quoting: bostova So you think it is possible to advance as a society and still hold on to religion? Perhaps that would require an upgrade once in a while to keep up with with the progress within that society and letting go of ancient rituals associated with those religions Not sure I understand?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31653049 Sweden 07/27/2013 04:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You're avoiding my statement, that evolution is a religion. Science has no mechanism or theory whatsoever that can explain how anything "evolve" without som intelligence controlling and guidiung it. Darwin said himself that if life could not be reduced beyond some basic structure his theories would fall apart. Today we know that life cannot be reduced to simpler forms than a cell, a cell is an enormously complex system but still it's a biochemical machine basicly. Something like a cell must have been created by a superior being. Period. Now are you going to address my statements OP or are you just going to write more meaningless bullshit. |
