The Wonderful World of Animals

[Glockmatic]

the only answer i can think of is it just appeared and began evolving which is very much impossible and illogical

Everything has a beginning, from small mindless organisms to humans. Also evolution takes millions of years to happen, and no one knows how the first organism began, just like no one knows if theres a God who created everything.

Religious people say "Give me proof evolution happened", the evolutionist says "look around you."

Evolutionists say "Give me proof God exists", the religious people say "look around you."

and no one knows how the first organism began,

no? what other answer is there other than it magicaly appeared and started evolving? why cant you just admit that?

God by definition is the uncreated creator of the universe, the universe or evolution had a beginning therefore they must have been created, but God on the other hand had no beginning, unlike the universe God doesnt need a cause, time is linked to matter and space so time itself would have begun along with matter and space. again God on the other hand is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time therefore God is not limited by the time dimension He created, so has no beginning in time

Say wha?? lol

Admit what? That evolution has no base because no one knows how the first organism was created? Your definition of God is a simple answer to an unanswerable question, its human nature to look for the most simple answer. It has no base. I could say that God wasn't created until man created him, you can't disprove that can you?

Lovely. Illuminattile makes a thread about animals and now it's become a discussion about religion.

Off-topic (well it's on-topic now I guess) it's funny how some religious people are quick to say the idea of something coming out of nothing is ludicrous but God simply existing isn't because he's not bound to any rules (!!!).

"Mosquitoes are estimated to have caused, directly or indirectly, 50% of all human deaths"

Can you elaborate on that Illuminattile?

 

[not really ken]

Mosquitoes are known to have carried the spread of many diseases from one place to another. And when different people who had built immunity to different types of diseases went to different places. mosquitoes helped to spread these new viruses which the natives had no resistance to

 

[Bina]

Just to clarify, can mosquitoes spread HIV?

 

[not really ken]

^^ermm, well you would only need one cell transfused, which could then replicate at its own lesiure. Mosquitoe could do this. So yeah!

 

[Illuminattile]

Just to clarify, can mosquitoes spread HIV?

No.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

That one at least is untrue. Some University students actually did a study on that, just to prove that a duck's 'quack' would echo.

That site doesn't look too convincing, but that's not where I got it from. It was on Q.I. which is usually reliable.
