Those that survive continue to reproduce, spawning other things which also survive or don't. These things change between generations, and the changes which survive subsequently lead to other changes. That's it. That's all there is. Outside of human minds there is no such thing as purpose and meaning."<br /><br /><br />While I tend to agree more with young earth creationism that I know you don't agree with, in this last statement I must disagree with you. <br /><br />A) While I agree that it was indeed not "natural" selection, I would say how that a selection was definitely made. But not by any "natural" process. If "selection" has anything to do with it, then indeed it would have been a "Supernatural" selection.<br /><br />Also B) There is a purpose and meaning outside of human minds. As C S Lewis said "the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever"<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754296632158000273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146183364287787287.post-64980036421017173692011-07-03T20:51:13.700+10:002011-07-03T20:51:13.700+10:00Nice post!
