| Religiosity |
Davison, W T |

Reflections of an Octogenarian / Abridged version.
Religiosity? – Throughout life, I've never regarded this subject as deserving of any serious thought - - -
However, with quietus in the offing, the excessive religious coverage in the media inevitably agitates the neurons.
Of late, these irritations have provoked a deep re-evaluation - - - & has utterly confirmed my basic intuition!
Logical comclusions after a lifetime of listening inadvertently to broadcasters of religious 'Faiths'
Please acknowledge that the primitive mind was bound to generate, quite naturally, mythological imagery of an Elysian nature.
Also, one must accept that the relative ignorance of early Humanity, coupled with understandable fears of the unknown, provided those individuals seeking power over their fellows (a natural human trait), with the conditions to set up as Medicine-Men - - - Witch-Doctors - - - Sorcerers - - - Soothsayers - - - et al, all claiming to have insights & contact with a 'power' - of sorts.
So began the blight of Shamanism - - - leading on to airy-fairy religions.
As time unveiled the past, these facts have not been fully appreciated.
Result - The ensuing rash of religiosity has not been branded for what it really is - - -
An early conceive - of ignorance & apprehension - - -
Perpetuated through millennia by IMPOSTORS - Preying on credulous naivety.
The natural process of evolution, via many devious pious paths, has now landed us with the present crop of Archbishops - - - Ayatollahs - - - Rabbis - - - Popes - - - Imams - - - JWs - & a host of other hypocritical sect leaders, incessantly brainwashing the largely unthinking masses with their ridiculous & childish 'Holy Beliefs'. The Billy Grahams of the world, gifted with gab & showmanship, use their 'bewitching powers' to prey on the gullibility of the artless.
Yes indeed, in modern form, the Witch-Doctors are still at it!
It has always been decreed that acting on evidential communal common-sense, ie, utilising everyday experience & research, is the only way forward.
The need to consult Biblical, Qur'anic, or any other ancient crap-laden fairy tales
in order to pursue a decent & considerate existence beggars belief!
The facts listed above are beyond dispute – Deism? / Divinity? – Absolute Man-made hokum!
Any thinking person realises that the Universe is truly an awesome Quantum / Astronomical creation. As part of that creation, our attempts at it's full understanding seem futile. Fouling up our minds with a rag-bag of archaic religiose twaddle does nothing to help enlighten our ignorance!
Anyone taking this farcical subject seriously has to be absolutely pickled in traditional folklore and/or in a sad mental state. Using it's bogus validity for an easy living and/or monetary gain, it's impostrous practitioners must have no damn conscience at all!
Time unveils the Past! <<<<<
We must Profit from it! - Not Perpetuate it! - - - - A M E N |

| Web-sites such as Talk Reason are very necessary. Far too much bull is permeating the media. |

| DNA |

All life as we know it requires DNA and the required RNA to work on the DNA to sustain life. Where did the complex DNA come from? I develop programs and appreciate the "timing" issues related to the concept of evolving "systems". The RNA and DNA must work in unison to sustain life. If the DNA comes on the scene at time (t), then it has a limited time (t + delta) to
survive and must therefore be replicated in this time period via another newly evolved RNA that has never worked on DNA before. This RNA must evolve AND be present in the small (delta) time span within the same organism.
This is kind of like MS-Windows coming on the scene at the same time as Lotus -1-2-3 (this happened by design). Note that not one biologist ever created a system of reproduction - they have only conjectured and played with the existing systems. Evolution is more of a systems development issue than a code (i.e., DNA) issue. The focus really needs to be extended to
systems analysis where all the moving parts need to work hand-in-hand as they change. This seems very improbable that a major part of the system
(DNA) can evolve and have the RNA magically appear to interpret this new form. Who did the numbers on this?

| query on this discovery of in you seal it they will evolve |
David, Andie Baruch |

How does the discoverry of the sealed of cave in israel prove evolution ???
The quote:
"Every species we examined had no eyes which means they lost their sight due to evolution," said Dimantman.
Losing eyes is not the same as making eyes ? Is this not devolution rather than evolution ? Losing information is not really evolution proof in theis case.
I would be intrested in feedback on this at andiedavid@hotmail.com. |
