[b]But the enviroment is stable, within very well constructed boundaries, for a time. what is this 'stable' time for? Do you consider all this just mere chance? Well , do you?
Consider this. If you accept that the Earth is 6 billion years old, and modern man has been around for 200,000yrs. We have experienced 0.0000033333% of the Earths life. Whi ...[text shortened]... dramitcally every 0.25% of it's life, we are still a long, long was from seeing it change.[/b]
I disagree. But we are not upto that point yet.
Perhaps 'modern human' historys' aren't coccurrent as we have been lead to believe...

I never cosidered that Eden's garden was anywhere except on the earth.
I don't know why you think it was somewhere else.
Originally posted by karoly aczelYes, I think my view is valid.
your view is valid. however you would have to admit there are quite a few anomolies that have 'come together at once' to present us with this current situation. (I will not list them. I'm sure you are intelligent enough to know what I mean. )
Any comments on 'E.T. 101' ?
You say I'm intelligent. But my intelligence doesn't stretch out so far so I can read other peoples thoughts. What do you have in mind? What anomalies do you have in mind?
I haven't followed the 'E.T. 101' thread, so I haven't any comments on that. But overall I don't believe that the Earth have had visitors from outer space.

Yes, I think my view is valid.

Originally posted by karoly aczelCorrect. Things shouldn't be dismissed because they sound far-fetched. But you do have to have some sort of evidence, and i doubt that you do.
No. the story just fits in with some other research. Again, it does not sit comfortably with me, but I cant dismiss the possibility because it sounds far-fetched. right?
Originally posted by Proper KnobThe evidence is all around. like the population surge in the last 100 years. Does this have any significance for you? Or is it just people boning away for no good reason?
Correct. Things shouldn't be dismissed because they sound far-fetched. But you do have to have some sort of evidence, and i doubt that you do.

where is heaven??
===============================
Of course I didn't ask where heaven was stoker. I simply said that I never got the impression that the garden of Eden in Genesis was anywhere but on the earth.
The Bible speaks of the directions of East. Cain moved east of Eden in a land called Nod.
Since God gave man dominion over all the earth it stands to reason that the garden of Eden was on the earth also.

====================================
I mean that the garden of Genesis was kind of in another dimension perhaps. I don't see like that as I read Genesis.
But I don't think it is a hgely main point. Except I would emphasize that the purpose of God was and still is intensely related to the EARTH. The spiritual battle is mainly over the earth.
The prayer of Christ was that God's kingdom would come and not that it would go. Jesus taught His disciples to pray "the wioll be done ON EARTH even as it is in heaven.".
I am not saying there is no heaven. But this man God created was given dominion over all the earth. He was made out of the earth. His body was formed from the earth. And God placed him in a garden with the mentioning of rivers. Two of which I recognize as being on the earth.

Here's a suggestion, a know it's a litle whacky. Penicillin.
Discovered in 1928, nearly 100yrs ago.
Originally posted by karoly aczelDNA and fossil evidence indicates that modern man originated in East Africa 200,000 yrs ago. But that's beside the point.
I forget the figure I came upon. sorry. But it would,ve been at least 500,000 years.
The point i was making is that in terms of the life of Earth man has been around for a mere blink of an eye. So therefore these 'stable conditions' can be put into context.
Originally posted by Proper KnobNo,no . dont get me wrong. the pop, surge had nothing to do with it.

I was merely citing it as evidence that something extrordinary is going on.
I realize why you may have inferred that from my statement but I was just trying to give you some plain evidence in general...
