oh the good old quote mining... when you finish with the darwin quote about the eye then read the next sentence where where he says how it did happen without divine crap.

because humans with a tendency to stay alive, has prospered and those with a tendency to die have been weeded out. I can't say that I have a psykological reason to live, but then again i don't have a reason to die either. My DNA on the otherhand, will try to keep me alive long enough to get passed on.

I'm not sure on which ancient greek thougth that the earth was round, but yes the idea was there. But his conclusion came from observations (science), watching ships on the horizon and the earths shadow on the moon. I am aware of the explanation regarding the eye. And oddly I find it more plausible, that a light-sensitive peace of skin improves survivalrates, than divine creation. Why do I need a reason to be alive? I've been asked/ asked the same question before. The answer is simple --

I would not have a child if..1. the other parent is a stranger i.e. rape2. I knew I wasn't capable of having one. Homosexuals are not bad people.

... that is because the greater the number of a certain animal (how successful it is reproducing)the more chance there is of us humans finding a fossil of it...

Joaozeco - Read Dawkins "Climbing Mount Improbable" for the explanation of how the eye evolved (seperately) at least 4 times on earth. Quite simple really.

Religion and Science aren't necessarily at odds with each other. Read some papers by Dr John C. Lennox, one of the most objective and perceiving minds on this issue today. Really makes you think (No matter which side of the argument you approach from).

Thats why its called Darwins Theory of Evolution....

most knife cuts are just knicks and scratches. I cut my finger to the flesh and past into the bone marrow. It was like taking a branch and breaking it against your knee. The only part left is less that half of the branch and some of the inner wood. It healed cleanly too. There was no scab or anything. It just healed. It looks like i even managed to clip the nerve.

Actually i read once that was it Aristotle or someone that suggested the earth was round. One proof was the way the sun cascaded and you couldn't look straight across to your friend in China.What "initial perception" was wrong?I believe there is reason and purpose in every single aspect of life. Have you read how evolution tries to eplain the existence of the eye? (Even Darwin said it was unlikely) Honestly, tell me why you are still alive? Give me a reason or tell why you don't have one.
