I once worked with a woman who talked to herself. One day I walked into an otherwise empty room and she was in the middle of a conversation with herself but she abrupty stopped speaking. After about five minutes she said, "Do you think people who talk to themselves are strange?". I replied, "Well, no, not really. I sometimes talk to myself, too." To which she turned to me and said, "Mind your own business. I wasn't talking to you."

Non-evidence reasons why people embrace Evolution.
by hooberus inevolutionists always claim that the reason why they believe in evolution and reject creation is due to "evidence".
they frequently use the opposite term "no evidence" in relation to any type of intelligent design, or creation, (and especially to genesis creation and flood history !).
their advocated beliefs always tend to include whatever is necessary to believe in to intellectually "explain" the existence of the universe, world, and its creatures without needing god).

Are you happy, cofty? If other people are happy and they're not hurting anyone, what's wrong with that? Enlightenment is important to your happiness, I can tell. Mine too. Others are satisfied with the enlightenment they have. If it is that you have a problem with people who are deliriously happy insisting on you sharing in the same delirium as they, I understand your point.

Jehovah's Witnesses Take Pride In Being Ignorant
by minimus inwitnesses love to say they are in the best school available---the theocratic ministry school.
witnesses don't want you to express research on a subject when giving a comment during a meeting.
just read verbatim what is in the paragraph.

Could it be it's a cult? I know that label is very, very offensive to Jehovah's Witnesses, so I never use it in conversation with them, but it's still a valid question for any organisation that revolves around religion. Maybe all of them are cults and it's just a matter of degrees. One could even question whether or not JWN is a cult and it would surely offend many people in here. So, being offended is understandable. If I am a Jehovah's Witness and someone has told me that I belong to a cult, I might be offended. It doesn't mean the question is taboo.
So, could it be it's a cult?
Most of the folks I know who are in it are happy. If only it didn't hurt people, then I'd be indifferent.

Is anyone who is actually reading all this stuff as exhausted as I am?
Go back and read Gladiator's post. He's a wise man. Ignore the intense avatar.
It would be good if this post ended soon. If not, may I be so newbie bold as to suggest a time out? Everybody in here is certain he/she is right and at the same time reasonable when none of us is right and some of us are unreasonable.
Unrelated, Shelbie, I saw this deluge coming at you and regret if I spurred it on, but some of your questions and answers confuse me. And it's maybe just me. As I get older I realise that we really don't get to understand anyone really well, especially over the internet, even after a decade. If you're happy believing what you believe and no-one gets hurt that's great. You'll get to live and die happy, and that's all that matters and don't let anyone tell you differently. I'll say the same thing to anyone on this board with the complete confidence that none has the same mind I do and will therefore never perceive reality as I do. Peace to you, sister.
Why do we argue about this stuff? Why is it all so important for people to see things the way we do?

Tammy, if I was Shelby I might wish to speak for myself, but I am not so I don't know if she's ok with it.
Shelby, I apologise if the avalanche between our posts was in any way caused by me. I'm ok, you're ok.

Do you accept the slightest, tiniest, remotest possibility that life evolved on this planet? (My question)
I do! I have NEVER said that I do NOT. I do NOT, however, accept that life "evolved" from a common ancestor, but rather was CREATED from that one common ancestor... the One who is the Life... that his essence was used to create ALL life in the physical world... which is why there is commonalities at the basest point of life, DNA... and that after creating the "kind" and from that the genus... many, many, many species "evolved" from those... with one exception: humans. Like seraphs, they are the only species of their "kind" genus. (Your answer)
I have stated that so many times I cannot count, so I hope THIS time clarifies, dear LC.
Yes and no. It is clear this time, Shelby, and it is still muddy. You do, but you don't. Or you do, but only according to a non-negotiable set of rules you agree with. You believe that live evolved, but you also believe that it was created? I guess I'm being thick, too. Please bear with me. Are you saying THE ONE is responsible for abiogenesis, from which all organisms sprang forth over hundreds of millions of years with the exception of humans, who are the product of a special, separate creation that happened but a very short time ago?
It sounds like you will accept nothing less than the hand of God in the existence of life on earth and absolutely nothing can convince you otherwise. Do I have it right?
p.s. Please look up the definition of genome.

Well, I think someone should explain the evolution of life as if to a fourth grader, and I don't mean that in a condescending way at all. Because at this point, even I am wondering why it isn't just a simple explanation. And I don't mean using simple terms/words, because I think Shelby has a good grasp on those, and someone like me can just look up their definition.
Perhaps someone could just simply explain how life evolved from 'whatever' and then became all the different kinds, families.
I like your question, Tammy, because it tells me you would really like to know the truth. Keep asking questions but also seek for yourself.
There is no simple explanation. It would be like trying to explain relativity to a fourth grader. A fourth grader will not have the mental horsepower to understand, at least none that I have known. It is a large piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle which for me took decades to assemble, and even then my understanding is woefully lacking. The piece of the puzzle I do see, however, is far more convincing than what Genesis has to offer as an explanation for the complexity of life on earth.

The Neanderthal genome has been sequenced. Somewhere around 3% of the modern Eurasian genome is traceable to Neanderthals. You probably have some Neanderthal genes yourself.
My understanding is that about 2/3rds of the neanderthal genome has been sequenced, very little of that nuclear. The gaps have been filled by computer interpolation models. However, I was not aware there are any neanderthal genes (ie complete DNA sequences) consistently found in modern humans. I'll look into it. Thanks.
