Why do people deny evolution?

But do go on sharing your prescription for an intellectual life, Elle.

What has life got to do with the intellect?

I am beginning to suspect that in your case...

...almost nothing.

Hope you keep feeding great straight lines!

Your words are wiser than YOU! Life goes on whilst the mind thinks on. You are only dreaming old man, figure it out now whilst you are still alive .

Ask some proper questions, for such a man of seniority I'm surprised you involve yourself in such petty squabbles.

Surely you must realise by now that the answers are not external, you pose the question so you must find the answers.

I can only point to where you must look.

No. Trees and rocks are real. It is consciousness that is a figment of the imagination. Literally. Ellease clearly took one too many LSD trips.

reduce it to the point where it disappears into nothing. Now what is that principle that is aware of this?

Okay...here is a "proper" question:

What did you mean when you slaughtered the language almost saying what you said in this posting:

The principle is that this contradicts the Law of Conservation of Mass wrt a chemical reaction

First you must clarify your question. What do you mean by "slaughter the language" and "almost saying" ?

They are self explanatory .

You are contradicting yourself here. Tree and rocks are in the consciousness, which obvious; they are both unreal.

That wasn't me, babe who wrote that!

I know it wasn't, it was a mistake. As far as I'm concern you are the only one that seems to know and understand. Talking to the rest here is like taking a class of infants.

So was my "proper question."

If you want to play games...go back into the playground or sandbox.

You asked for a question...I gave you one.

Answer it...or be adult enough to acknowledge that you just screwed up.

Oh, it is ok, about the mistake.
And yes, this is a class of infants, but please try to be patient with them.
They have been indoctrined from the cradle to their grave , being told they are what they aren't and vice versa.
I see what we say as little seeds, they sometimes grow later.
And, for most, it is a loooooooong proces of unlearning.
So, I think it is important to put the information out, and they will use it when they are ready.

Your question needed clarifying, I asked for clarification and in your adolescence you decide to play the apprentice.

It seem I'm already in the playground and its children are throwing stones and hiding.
It is you that is playing games and for a man of your seniority it is very childish indeed. I asked you a simple question, even an infant would have responded better.

I certainly did. I also ask for clarification.

I have no problem in answering your questions, only you must learn to present them intelligibly. If you cannot even understand your own question then how are you suppose to understand anybody else's ?

I have a vague idea what you are talking about, however I do not want to assume hence the reason why I ask for clarification, it is a perfectly reasonable request, now you be an adult and behave.
