@Mrs. Jacks: @Mr. Jacks: if you ever take a trip to Toronto, I'd love to have you both over for dinner. Bravo!
-
@daddybee: LOL. I'm seriously folding over laughing. I'm glad to see another dad representin' on the boards... And such a worthy first post. Mr. Jacks is now totally enamored with the Jesus pony! (And yes, you are correct on your evolutionary theory about women
I like you even more now!)@Oliviaoblivia: We'd love to have you too if you come to SLC!
-
I don't have anything to add, but I just wanted to pop in and say...
@Mr. Jacks: @Mrs. Jacks: omg you guys are so cute!!!!
-
Its not my evolutionary theory on women. It has been from a series of metaphorical parables that my SO has told me to take as fact and I read it on internet.
-
@Mrs. High Heels: Thanks
@daddybee: Then it must be true!
-
@daddybee: but have you seen it in a documentary? Those must be factually based, and not just, who know, whatever.
-
@yoursilverlining: I've seen it in real life and documented on tv, movies, and in books. I checked with my SO she verified this. It may not be true all the time but those who do not consider themselves right must be part of a previous variant of the evolutionary line that has not fully gone away. However, if my calculations are correct there are as many in that prior group as there are bengal tigers left in the world!

@daddybee: Welcome to Hellobee! It's always exciting to see a fellow dad here!!
<< Its not my evolutionary theory on women. It has been from a series of metaphorical parables that my SO has told me to take as fact and I read it on internet. >>
I'm not sure if I'm understanding the reference... but I hope that isn't a joke about the bible?
Either way, since you're a new member I thought I'd link to our community guidelines:

@mrbee: Thanks for the first warm welcome!!! It may have been taken wrong and may have bordered on off color. I will review the guidelines and tone down a bit.

@apis: bahaha love this, and thanks for pointing it out
interesting thread to read through. I'm agnostic and firmly believe in evolution.
-
I believe in evolution. Even took a primate and human evolution class in college.
-
I am obviously very late to this party. I read every single comment and my mind is spinning too fast to formulate a decent/deserving response. I did, however, read one poster's statement and it summed up what I am/how I feel/ all I need to say on this topic:
@Honeybee: "Yes, I believe in evolution. In my religion, science and the Bible are not mutually exclusive." <<yep.
Change the word "bible" to "Quran" and that is me...
I've got the brains to understand and accept science, as a miracle of God, and as a process only He has willed.
-
@Mr. Jacks: +1 million for the Copernicus & Galileo reference! How far you can deviate from taking the Bible as pure fact, and still be considered a believer, has varied over time as science has progressed and humans have changed. I firmly believe that sometime in the future, beliefs about gays and lesbians will fall under this as well. (Hope I'm not opening a new can of worms!)
What's kind of unfortunate is that despite my desire, I've found it too difficult to cultivate a faith that leaves room for this kind of stuff, so I've just become a hopeful agnostic.
-
@daddybee: Thanks, much appreciated! We work really hard to maintain a civil and respectful community, so I appreciate your support on that front.
-
I must say I am so impressed by the civility of this conversation. I have been in many a heated argument about evolution (not by my choosing sometimes people just like to argue). I think I will just say thank you @Mrs. Jacks: I couldn't have worded it better myself and yeah for the monotremes, some of the coolest mammals around.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: my only contribution to this discussion is to say that you are my hero.
-
@DADDYBEE, I know my SO is always right... When it comes to education, I am like a pre-schooler next to a grad student! But I am a science nerd and I have been known to read physics books for fun.
-
@Mr. Jacks: Oh puhleeze, honey! When it comes to string theory and programming and sometimes on what the kids need in a particular moment!
-
@Mr. Jacks: nothing like a little Hawking and a cup of tea. Of course Sitchen is good to if you consider his translation of the Sumerian creation story as fact. If it is it would put a whole other twist on this discussion!
-
@Mr. Jacks: lol. Most people have magazines about cars/fashion/decorating for light reads in the bathroom; my husband has books on string theory & quantum physics..... pooping must be so fun.
I like you even more now!)
