@farmerman,
Talk to the average punter mate, use language that they can understand, and tell them how you evolved from the first slimy creature that crawled out of the primordial waters, tell them how you believe that they did not pass their gained information through generation to generation in the process of becoming 'Who You Are".
I Never cease to wonder midst the lightening and the thunder
How a million tons of water can just hang there in the sky
And the snow flakes, have you seen them? Such diversity between them
Never two of them the same, I wonder why?
Nature poses many questions and though the scientists may test them
And discover many secrets that she hides
I’ll bet if they could live forever, with all their studies and endeavours
In the end they’d be like us, still mystified
For the world is ever changing, interacting, rearranging
The only constant that you’ll find, is constant change
Take a plant as one example and the evidence is ample
You’ll never find a pair that are the same
Or view it from a different slant: take a photo of a plant
And each------ successive generation as they grow
Then in a million years or so, compare the first and last photo
Or better still----run all the film out in one long row
Then you’ll see the gradual change, no two plants will be the same
Old evolution definitely holds its sway
For each seed must have within it, all the experience of its parent
And In the end result, each plant will have its say….. The Anointed.
Explain to them, what happens to all the information that is gathered in each generation of the universe. Will it cease to exist as all the information that you have gathered in your short existence on earth, is going to cease to exist (
As you believe) when that body of yours is returned to the elements from which it was created?
