the common ancestor that we share with african apes lived about 6 million years .. from that point on there was split.

one group went on to develop into what we now know as the chimpanzees and gorillas and the other group of primates went on to develop into what we call humans.

it would impossible for apes to come from humans because we would see irrefutable genetic evidence of this

i have a few simple questions for Sweet Sista that should solve everything.

1) is God "perfect" ?
2) is god all merciful ?
3) Is God all "just" (meaning ultimately he makes sure justice is served)
4) Is god immutable (meaning he/she/it is "unchanging"?)

be careful with your answers

Unfortunately, I don't have the dollars to spare at the time.

I know that I didn't come from no form of ape or monkey...word up.

All the books that I have read put together have not convinced me of such.

Maybe his is different.

i respectfully ask.. what is it about human evolution theory do u find faulty?

or do u just reject it based on GP? if u just have it made up in ur mind for some reason that its insulting to lump humans in the same catergory as other primates,, then no, my book wont change your view point (because thats not a rational stance)

if u have some objection to human evolution due to a flaw, then yes, maybe the book could clarify.

it depends on your stance

Basically, it makes me think of the perfection of the human phenotype to adapt to it's envionment.

If you remove the environmental stress - then the Original human phenotype, can be at peace - ie. at one with it's environment.

Now...I'm not saying that micro level evolution does not take place - to the contrary, I am quite convinced that this is the norm in our universal experience on Earth.

However, there is a question as to which phenotype the genetic theory of marco evolution is based....

And, this brings me to another question, concerning the differences and evoultionary time frame in which Black and white people were discerened.

Simply put...who's first?

Wrong!...ain't nothing dogmatic about it. I put thought and reflection into evrything I understand.

Or else I don't understand it...and in that case Iam not afraid to openly admit that I do not understand.

Everyone is not like you...

more of a reminder

Word!...although,I am under the impression that man is divine and divine is manifested through man

This is a literature question. Hopefully you can help me with a little vocabulary meaning issue.

Discuss the following statement. Think of "to" as the guarantor of
indirection insofar as it prevents the relation of transitivity while
being a sign of non-immediacy and meditation between the lover and
the beloved.

"I love to you means I maintain a relation of indirection to you. I
do not subjugate you or consume you. I respect you (as irreducible).
I hail you: in you I hail. I praise you: in you I praise. I give
you thanks: to you I give thanks for. . . . I bless you for. . . .
I speak to you, not just about something; rather I speak to you, not
so much this or that, but rather I tell to you."

Luce Irigary, "I Love to You," 536.


I cant figure out what my teacher means by transitivity. From what I understand, the passage refers to a lover failing to transition into one being love.

What do you think transitivity implies here?

I know this one seems out there but I wanted to give it a shot.

everyone does not think like me and thats true. and i think people can believe and think whatever they want. id just hope they would have an open mind and think about why the believe things.

im curious, how did you get into being 5% and thinking allah was the man?

(1) Allah didn't like the kid to be put in any harmful situation but he gave his parents the choice to either choose good folks to be around their baby or not. and obviously they didn't care or they forgot or something like that.

The child is mentally f***ed up because of the choices either other made or he himself when he became a gown. and remember that Not all molested kids make the same bad decision. but some no matter how many options Allah gives them, they never take any of them when they grow up. they take what seem suitable for them maybe as a revenge for what happened when they were kids and they go and molest other kids. Allah did gave them a lot of options but they choose to go stray.

example, a kid who was molested by his uncle. His uncle was such a mutha f****ER who doesn’t have any bit of dignity or respect and he thinks like “i’m gonna do it, the kid ain’t gonna tell, no one will know and if they did they maybe won’t do anything about it and if they did and called the cops i’ll maybe deny that or maybe i’ll stay in jail for a little while then i’ll get out- BIG DEAL!!”

If we supposed that the uncle was arrested. here one of the options and it could be the first step in every choice he make. start new life. Teach your kid that what happened to him was a big mistake cuz his uncle was a man with no humanity or faith that prevent him doing what he did. and of course you so damn sorry for where tha hell have you been at that time!!

if The child “when he is grown” followed the choices that Allah gives him, he won’t end up as his uncle. cuz then he knows that no one should be judged for else’s crimes.

It’s tough but molesting other kids won’t make it any easier! It’s not only the kid’s job it’s the whole damn society’s. it’s a whole circle. Everyone has a job and Allah gave them those jobs but when they don’t do it. Don’t expect the circle to be perfect.

and u attributing disability to "god taking his sight away" is even further disgusting and insulting.?

HEll, i talk to you like an intelligent human being and you insult your mind wit dis!

i really think that any one who has lost something has something else. Not necessarily physical things but could be spiritual things. not necessarily things one can observe in his own body if he has some illness, but in his family that takes care of him. etc.

---

hehehe, you know God gives almost everyone intelligence that’s how he is so just. there are criminals who were intelligent. the point is how you’re going to use that? maybe He is going to let you do whatever you like with your intelligence, so later when you’re going to be aksed by Allah why did you do this? you have no excuse. you were intelligent enough to be aware of all your actions.

It’s not your intelligence that lead you to become non-believer. it’s the ignorance of something, the depression, arrogance, and other things but of course it’s not the intelligence!

people make plans for themselves to accomplish anything. some of them think like “if i ain’t going to complete my studies i’ll work with my friend” and some like “if i ain’t gonna have this party here, it has to be in someone’s house”
intelligent people usually have plans for all the possible options. i mean what is your plan if you found out that there is a God that you should've believed in but you obiously didn’t? whatcha gonna do? what is your plan then?

Allah gave the intelligence to see that he is there for you. you go too deep and think that will make you more intelligent when it really won’t make you any intelligent but it may turn you to someone doesn’t understand the simple facts and the simple evidences for God’s existence that just a little kid or a simple human being notices.

the reason being that god allegedly empowered us with the great gift of intelligence and reasoning! And its obvious that God has left no observable positive evidence for his existence, so... with that said, it is argued that the Atheist will be rewarded at judgement for correctly using the gift of intelleigence and reason to come to the rational conclusion tha tthis god doesnt exist!

on the flipside, one could argue that the religionist (those who claim that God exists and claim to know so) will be frowned upon by god by neglecting to use the god given gift of reasoning and intelligence.

i hope what i said above answers that!

honestly, i’m exhausted but never mind this is one of the things i always wanted it to do. i mean exhaustion doesn’t matter as long as the point of it is to help one another to see things.

1) is God "perfect" ? yes
2) is god all merciful ? yes

3) Is god immutable (meaning he/she/it is "unchanging"?) yes


4) Is God all "just" (meaning ultimately he makes sure justice is served)

you can't say someone ain't being just, JUST cuz he gave you the chance to be unjust. This is called the freedom of choice!

c’mon, you really gotta impress me!

Too Much Shit!!
