Viviane,
Question is not about the poetic word play. It's about the designer behind the earth which is much more than a home fitted with everything we need not just for our sustenance but for our enjoyment!
scientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm) .
one can dismiss this as an exception*!
yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole).

Flying machine without using the air-polluting fuel is not a matter to be laughed at. If we remove the alphabet “t” from the word PLANET, we have the word PLANE. You and the entire humanity are aboard on this PLANE called earth, and it is flying at a speed of 30 km per second, i.e., 1,08,000 km per hour! [At this speed, the distance to the moon can be covered in just four hours]
We, rich and poor together, clock 94 crore km of flying in a year aboard the spinning satellite that is what our planet is. We are space travelers! Our position is never static, even when we are asleep in our bedrooms. Travelling on this unique plane, the list of destinations reads like `morning', `noon', `evening', `night', `summer', `winter', `spring' and the like. Are we fully aware of, acknowledge and appreciate what Nature has made possible for us to experience, without having to pay for the cosmic ride? Or are we taking it for granted just because it’s too big in comparison with tiny planes we have designed? Are we obsessed with the idea that only small things require a designer and big things do not?

You missed "melting 14 exotic ingredients" including buffalo horn!
How could see only buffalo horn?
You can make fun of when you hear things you have not heard before--that's your choice! However, things have been perfect in the beginning. In ancient India there was a law that says "If a beggar is found in a kingdom, the king of that kingdom will be disqualified."
Why such perfect laws were abandoned?

My point is that there never never evolution of beings; it has always been a Good Start by God, then deterioration brought out by humans. [Virtually all cultures and religions of the world point to a Golden Age and to a Great Fall that mankind experienced from it]. In the beginning it was Golden Age in which technology is naturally at its best. For example, mode of transportation was through pollution-free, risk-free and accident-free airplanes! Indirect proof for this exists in language! Sanskrit word Chumbak Mani (literally translated as the ‘jewel that attracts’) is equivalent to what the modern term SEMICONDUCTOR-MAGNET implies, and it was a vital component of ancient Indian aviators’ inventory. That means Viman Shastra (Aeronautical Science ) was part of ancient India’s real-life! Interestingly, chemists in the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, who were testing the veracity of the various claims, especially relating to material science including that ancient aeronautical manual, is reported to have synthesized Chumbak Mani by calcining and melting 14 exotic ingredients including buffalo horn and mercury at 1,200° C!
What the Science accomplishes now cannot be termed as accomplishment—it’s like making a profit of $100 and making a loss of $1000 at the same time. Side-effects of what its application (technology) does neutralizes all its plus points. For example, in cities like Delhi pollution rate is so much that a non-smoker suffers as much as a smoker who smokes 12 cigarettes a day, says a scientific study.

Cofty and Bohm,
you are trying to change the subject.
If you have proof, refute all or any of those six points that run against the Theory of evolution!
Mind which is more important is not evolving!
Bohm, I have no religion, I am a Deist (who believes that God has given us REASON, not religion)

* One can dismiss this as an exception saying this particular organism in question did not get the physical or biological environment that demands its evolution! This argument accomplishes nothing. Because a saint may turn into sinner and vice-versa depending upon the change of environment! So environment is proof for both evolution and devolution!

1) Religions started in brotherhood, then deteriorated into divisiveness.
2) Politics came for man’s welfare, then deteriorated into arms-merchants (with the inherent need to create conflict either to stay in business or to sell more arms).
3) Hospitals started as charitable institutions, then deteriorated into a money-making machine.
4) Economy appeared as a system to bring order, then deteriorated into greed (built on greed, fondly called Demand-Supply mechanism, and share-market)
5) Science appeared as a messiah, introducing things that save us energy, effort and time, then giving us things to pass the time thus saved, thus uploading us onto a Treadmill. Most of its accomplishments brought in a Sedentary life-style which brought in many diseases (for which medicines were invented, some of which will create some more diseases)
6) Easy spreading of religions like Christianity that appeals to the declining attitude of humans in general. It had a phenomenal growth when it replaced the teaching of Reincarnation [found in verses such as Matthew 11:14 and Galatians 6:7, which can make people think twice before they act/react as they are aware that they cannot escape the consequences] with teaching of Ransom Sacrifice of Jesus Christ [which says ‘one man sinned and all became sinners, and we can become righteous because of one man’s righteousness]. One can easily discern the genesis of this teaching: When the claim of being God’s chosen people was foiled by Nebuchadnezer, the notion of Messiah arose. When Messiah was killed, his very death was interpreted as Ransom Sacrifice, yet not knowing to whom the ransom was paid! Ear-tickling teaching of Ransom Sacrifice is introduced in John 3:16, yet the preceding verses such as 3:13 was never uttered by Jesus, but was put into his mouth by the later writers. In John 3:13 Jesus supposedly spoke: ‘no one ascended into heaven except him.’ Jesus cannot make such statements in the beginning of his ministry, he could say that after ascending into heaven. It’s like Obama saying in the last century: “No one has become US President from Black Community except me.” He can say that only after becoming the US President!
the innocent civilians being attacked is the norm of the day.
attacking hospitals too are happening frequently.
now schools being attacked is becoming a regular affair (last of its kind massacred 150 children in peshawar on december 16, 2014)..
Cofty and Viviane,
Wording on alcohol is just a reproduction of what Traffic Police has put up on many High Ways!
In the United States the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 17,941 people died in 2006 in alcohol-related collisions, representing 40% of total traffic deaths in the US. NHTSA states 275,000 were injured in alcohol-related accidents in 2003.[1] The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that in 1996 local law enforcement agencies made 1,467,300 arrests nationwide for driving under the influence of alcohol, 1 out of every 10 arrests for all crimes in the U.S., compared to 1.9 million such arrests during the peak year in 1983, accounting for 1 out of every 80 licensed drivers in the U.S

Oubliette,
Here is a film star whose wife is a medical practitioner. He has gone on record saying "he and his wife have never tasted even a drop of alcohol, because it is nothing but poison!"
Look at his body--he is 57, yet acts roles for those in the 20's.

galaxie,
It seems you did not fully read what I wrote about the astrologer.
I went there to TEST him (not to seek solution to my problems) about his claim of reading the minds of others. And I found him true.
And I do not believe in astrology.
I was only giving my experience that there are a few people who have succeeded in silencing their minds and thus being able to read others' mind, and some access even God's mind.
Just because you cannot perform like some famous gymnastics now, it does'nt mean that you cannot. With practice, you also can. Similarly, we too can, by practice, can learn to silence our minds and read others' minds!
