      From: DaveInLakeVilla@webtv.net              Hi. Im afraid there is no compelling evidence whatsoever for our       inherent moral oughtness and other examples of personality (such as       reason, rationalizing, intuition, abstract thinking, emotions, etc..)       ultimately coming from NON personal Materials such as hydrogen       gas/dirt/rocks/ et al. It is not only impossible but is also quite       ludicrous to believe in such....unless you wish to pretend as many did       during the 'Pet Rock' phenominon of the early 1970's :)              Lastly, the fact that every human being has within him/herself a       definitive inherent sense of absolute moral laws (which they daily       demonstrate) , is strong evidence for a Personal Moral Law Provider       which can only be a personal Creator in whos image we were fashioned ;       and not from non-personal Materials or the infamous non-personal Pond       Scum Protozoa.              Regards.                     Quote from Sir Arthur Keith, a noted anthropologist and devout Darwinian       Evolutionist : " Evolution is unproved and unprovable . We believe it       because the only alternative is special creation, and that is       unthinkable"              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
