  1. 何だいこれ?(^_^)v

  2. @RandomPersonUK *Guess I did at Random,………Random,sorry.

  3. @VWieVendettarocks this is meaningless comment…anyway, I am religious and I am not paralyzed…quite the opposite.

  4. @billy1212ist I think you replied to the wrong person ;)

  5. @mmarkomann Also, everyone believe in something.“ Nope. Religion shouldn’t exist. RandomPersonUK is right, seeing the world with a monostructured way caused by religion and its pure stupidity, humans are paralyzed.

  6. Ants have civilizations,a pecking order,queens,soldiers,farmers,etc.they too are made of the universe,everything is,,,different yet one.Try to teach an ant to build and operate a commuter ? It can’t,brains not big enough,so their part is to be ants.Man too the same, has his big brains can learn and do much.But right now,can’t understand the universe,so be man, and build and learn,in time maybe we will,see and understand,we ain’t ready for it,right now.Our Energy is yet untapped and used,in time.

  7. @RandomPersonUK -classical medicine ?Ridicules.Our sun is tiny,and new,the earth six billion years old,man200,000 years old,mere milli-seconds in the universal scale of things,time and space.We are monkeys in suits.The appendix cleaned out poisins,we ate,bark to rocks to ants to grass to learn to survive.We learned,planted,hunted evolved,did not need it any more.Does it or has it a new use?We are so primitive still.And all this god talk,for our EGO has a need for it.We are the universe,and it us

  8. really thrue!

  9. @mmarkomann
    Eastern Medicine comes from a society where it was illegal to dissect a human body.
    In order to explain what you can’t see, you reflect something you CAN see: the 7 „great energy streams“ Chinese medicine use, are deducted from the 7 rivers that flow through China. Western Medicine had this kind of thinking too- they used leeches to suck your blood if you were sick- untill people sneaked out, started digging up dead people and looked inside them to see what was going on.

  10. Great ……

  11. @mmarkomann It still may have some effect on the body, but from what it was originally used for, it’s function is no longer required. It’s main purpose was to provided bacteria that help digest and breakdown cellulose (plant material) when old human form used to be a herbivore. As we evolved into the human form we are now, this gland/appendage became pretty useless and is now no longer required for us to function normally.

  12. @RandomPersonUK western/classical medicine is much much younger than eastern. Eastern medicine consider human being as unity of matter and energy and they explain diseases as the consequence of disturbed or obstructed energy path and flow. In their medicine appendix has function. Now also western medicine discovered that appendix has very important function in fetal period, but also has its role in the immune system of adults.

  13. @mmarkomann Also why would „God“ create beings with biological parts that they don’t use. For example you have an appendix which has no use whatsoever. There are also other numerous parts in most creatures that have absolutely no use what so ever. The only realistic theory is that as the creatures evolved overtime certain parts became obsolete, but as they were still part of the larger genetic make up, they continued to exist. So if they were made by „God“ does this mean she is not perfect?

  14. @mmarkomann Giraffe is a fairly basic example, but shows how we evolved over time, due to genetic mutations that gave certain creature an advantage over their fellow competitors. Also look up Doberman Pinscher and you’ll see that they did not exist as a breed until about 1890. They were developed by breeding certain dogs together over time. This is forced evolution by man, but still shows how evolution works.

  15. @mmarkomann I will give you an example. The Giraffe, at 1 point it was a small body/necked creature, and over time this change due to transfer of specific mutations. Those original animals fed from bushes, when this food ran out they had to reach higher to get food, those animals who happen to have a slightly longer neck due to a genetic mutation, could get to that food therefore ensuring they were well fed. This meant they survived and were able to pass on the long neck gene and so on.

  16. @mmarkomann At what point did I say breeding different species? I was only talking about dog. A great dane and a scotty are both dogs and are the same species and can mate to give you a dog that is part dane and part scotty. If you continue this over time, you will create a new breed of dog. If you really knew how evolution worked then you would know that a species only changes by transfer of specific trait from 1 generation to another.

  17. Which is the different between globalist and Zeitgeist ? I think that Zeitgeist is part of globalist… So that means same shit !

  18. @RandomPersonUK by the way, we are not talking about evolution here, but mixing different species to get a new one. Even if you would manage to mix potato and cow to get milky potato, you wouldn’t prove evolution, because evolution is gradually change of the same species without interbreeding with another specie. If the evolution is right then some day people will have wings like birds…at least those who like to fly around…

  19. @RandomPersonUK The dog genus Canis includes wolves, coyotes, some jackals, and the domestic dogs. They all have 39 pairs of chromosomes. So you can mix them as much as you like. However, you cannot mix two different genetic structures to get NEW GENUS. And if you succeed, the offsprings are certainly fertile. Maybe not in first generation, but in second, thrid, they are certainly infertile.

  20. @mmarkomann Shows how much you don’t know then, My parents used to breed dogs and mixing different types of dogs gives you a mix of the two, do this enough times and you’ll have a new type of dog in no time. As I said before any dog can mate with another dog as they are all the same species. I don’t know where you got the infertile bit, but it is probably more rubbish spouted by religious nuts. We never had issues getting more dogs out of the ones we interbred.

  21. @RandomPersonUK you can’t make new breed. The result of every successful attempt of interbreeding is infertile offspring and no new breed created.

  22. @RandomPersonUK and he realize through the process of proving that evolution is impossible. Do you know that?

  23. @RandomPersonUK Science cannot explain how world appeared, how energy appeared, matter and other things. Science can only find out how things are functioning actually. That’s all science can do. So, as for tht BEGINNING point of everything you must rely on your FAITH or what you believe in. You believe that particles formed life all by themselces. I believe God had to intervene. That’s why you and me will never agree – we have different believes.

  24. @RandomPersonUK does that sound reasonable to you? Who created those tinniest particles of the matter all the universe consists of? Who created forces to keep them together? When? How? Why? They just appeared? Who create energy? Who created space, three dimensions? etc etc… There are various SF explanations about how matter occured at all, but whatever theory you take into consideration, each of them has its starting point. And none of theories can explain what was before that starting point.

  25. @RandomPersonUK …and all that happened by itself?

  26. @mmarkomann is that the best you can do? I’ll start at the beginning, it all began with proteins and amino acids joining and forming the 1st single cell life. From there it continued to get more and more complicated cell structures. Eventually after billions of years we end up at this point. Wolves were only the staring point for dogs as we know them, but wolves evolved from other creatures of similar forms, and they evolved from other creatures etc etc .
