Don't worry Steve in a couple of years we'll be back to chewing tobacco and marrying our cousins :thumbup: (which incidentally seems to happen quite frequently in the boonies still - and a dam sight more dangerous than those gay types!!!!!! - sighs)

I was told by my GP that it was a very popular pastime in Cambridgshire & Suffolk, and that there was a lot more out there than anyone knew about... :ohmy:

I remember being told by my teacher in primary 3 that I was stupid when she asked "where do we come from" and I said "from the apes", the correct answer was Adam and Eve. I blame my granpa - he firmly believes in education and science and had explained the basics of evolution to me.

Really don't get why parents wouldn't want their children to know the facts and then make up their mind which version they believe.

Not a snowball's chance in Hell. Just wait until these religious fanatics discover the Intelligent Design theories.

Because a lot of parents aren't open minded enough. I suspect that they think that their values and opinions will be undermined if they allow their kids to be exposed to other opinions on somewhat controversial subjects.

I often found it strange living in Drumheller which was quite a religious place, coupled with being the dinosaur capital of the world. Evolution and creationalism living seemingly hand in hand - both I think tolerating but not believing each others view point.

Hell even the Passion Play (quite well known Drumheller remake of Jesus on the cross and all that) is set in a place where loads of dinosaur bones have been found!

Intelligent design says that there is a God, it was the designer of all of creation from before the big bang.

This is all obvious because it (everything) could not exist, like it does, if it were not designed by a creative mind.


My main objection still is....... Why Hide... peek-a-boo god, where are you.:unsure:

Darwin married his cousin. I suppose there are non mutant descendents somewhere.

just saying....the people who believe this (i mean no disrespect) also seem to think of earth as the only liveable place in the universe and object to the possibility that there could be life anywhere else in the universe... i invite you to take a look at the photo below.

If you are a person of The Book (Jew, Christian, Muslim) you believe that God created Adam & Eve, now from memory they had Cain & Able I don`t recall any girl children, but there must have been. So....... we are all descended from Brothers & Sisters.... no wonder the race is screwy. :huh:

There's a legend that Lilith was really the first woman. Adam didn't like her much as she argued with him, she thought she was his equal, she didn't like him being on top. A feminist woman.

She left and God sent him Eve instead.

And this is priceless. I googled to see how many children Adam and Eve had and found this link
https://www.gotquestions.org/Adam-an...questions.html

Did you know that Adam and Eve didnt have belly buttons :rofl::rofl::lol:

And Adam lived for 930years. Yep it's all true. :lol:

Thank you so much for posting that! Just shared it with my daughter and she was fascinated (as was I). We knew it was huge out there, but that really puts it in perspective. ....And to think that's only what we CAN see so far........ Just absolutely mind boggling! :thumbsup:
