@anonymously99,
When you're as depressed, as I am you tend to not have the ability to take in things. everything in to mind, to understand. Being ignorant of knowledge comes with depression, else more.

This coming from a severely depressed individual, who has been depressed their entire life.

Kind of depends on your perspective. Believing it happened in spite of insufficient evidence is a lot like, . . . . well.

@neologist,
What about the evidence is insufficient?

It's quite obvious that you're unwilling to accept the truth here. You just want to find any reason to believe your nonsense without challenging yourself to actually learn.

Wow neo, now how can you deny the conclusions of the evidence? What are your bases for denying ? Im willing to submit that your denial is merely because your religion demands it of you. Your religion is famous for denying most all of the science behind evolution.
There is NO evidence to support Creation, Young Earth, Flood, etc etc.

Science has been pretty complete in its analyses, whereas your side has been guilty of making up vague, "cherry picking of select phrases in SCripture as "proof of concept", and actual fraud.
Care to tell us about your evidence for Paluxey River footprints, or "Carving the Grand Canyon" or "The Flood"

@anonymously99,
I can tell you that I can get depressed at how many people, despite the mountain of evidence, still deny the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it.

Denial of fact is sad especially since there are actual colleges that teach "Creation SCience" as a degreed course of study. NOW THATS A DEPRESSING WASTE OF A LIFE.

DAWKINS- "Alright honeybun, motile sperm cells typically move via flagella and require a water medium in order to swim toward the egg for fertilization. In animals most of the energy for sperm motility is derived from the metabolism of fructose carried in the seminal fluid. This takes place in the mitochondria located in the sperm's midpiece (at the base of the sperm head). These cells cannot swim backwards due to the nature of their propulsion. The uniflagellated sperm cells (with one flagellum) of animals are referred to as spermatozoa, and are known to vary in size...."
WIFEY- "OH SHUT THE **** UP!!!"


There may be women these days who love to be talked to as Dawkins did as mentioned.

There are all sorts of depression and all sorts of causes mate.
My guess is that you're not a Christian, because generally speaking Christians rarely get depressed, and if they do, they know how to roll with the punch..Wink
Basically Christians know that this earth counts for zilch and they don't take it seriously..Smile

@farmerman,
I'll go with you on 4.5 billion year old earth. The Bible allows for that. I diverge on a few other things, though.

If that is true fm you should seek advice. Have you not tried having your house flooded half way up the stairs? How about small farmers slowly going bankrupt due to the machinations of the European Agricultural Commission, and the banks, who want large farms and are probably right to do so from their own point of view.

I dare speculate that most of them, if not all of them, would be very happy to get depressed at how many people still deny the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it. Bite your hand off they would to get at depression stimulation of that order.

They must find it jolly good fun. Get your kicks on Route 66-- you know. Route 54 didn't rhyme you see. Put some bleachers in the sun--have it out on Highway Sixty Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa000000000ne.

They probably only deny the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it when asked about it. The rest of the time they do other things. Sorting out the pipeline leases for example. Getting dressed up. Networking. Bride captures. Squirming in the pew when the pastor lectures them on the evils of man. It's endless. Week in week out, year after year, a good turnout at the funeral, and in all that time the concept of a 4.5 Billion year old planet Earth and an evolved order of life on it probably never enters their heads. Except when asked about it by a gump.

With $4.5 billion being chickenfeed these days it might be a bit scary to think about it too much.

@neologist,
The question, to paraphrase, was: on what evidence do you place your divergence.

@InfraBlue,
There was no divergence. At least according to Darwin.

@neologist,
Wwhere might these gaps in evidence occur in your mind?
Not mening any disrespect with your worldview but does your religion welcome analyses of these gaps and the evidence or is your worldview basically "predigested for you"?

@farmerman,
Of course it's predigested. Have you ever tried anything that hadn't been digested before?

@spendius,
even the questions to ask? hmmm, we must read things differently.
I like to question where I don't understand as well s where I don't agree?

We know that fm. You agree with the Gaia theory when a self-regulating planet justifies you finding more oil for us to burn and you don't agree with Gaia when it says that humans have no more meaning than slime mould.

@spendius,
gaia is an interesting concept, that's all. It has several biological inputs that (taken alone) are compelling. However, to buy it all one must subscribe to some animistic beliefs.
