Dear Ops, you said:

"my faith doesn't seem do much for me"

Hmmmm, then pray for more faith.

Peace be with you.....

Well of course not, it would be the monkey that is HIS uncle, not the other way around. Darwin says we came from monkeys not monkeys from us.

 

I don't know if I can really believe it either but I have just as much trouble believing the world was created in a matter of days. It's not that I don't believe in god more that I just don't know either way and my faith doesn't seem do much for me so I try to stick to the facts. Too each his own I guess!!!!

 

Edit: I will stop now though since this topic is about fury little animals and not creation.

I don't embrace Darwin, but you're more than welcome to.

With human beings it is not necessary.  We have superior intelligence which was given to us by God.  We ARE SUPPOSED TO talk out our differences, analyse our problems, and work TOGETHER to solve them to the satisfaction of everyone.....or at least the majority.

Maybe sometimes we don't do as well at this as God expected us to do, but we should still try.

God's Peace.

 

Work or talk it through? Humans are mammals and act the same way any other mammals works. Survival of the fittest!!! Welcome to the darwin theory!!!

Oh, me too.  I hug my doggie, Ridge.  How can people be so mean to those poor defenseless animals?  I'll never understand it.  You have a good heart, Mishmish

They are also on the DVD, Love and Cooperation in Living Things by Harun Yahya. Which is a great DVD, by the way...

YES!  I love the documentaries on the Meerkats.  They are wonderful. These little furry animals are very loving toward their fellow group of meerkats.  They demonstrate real compassion and grief!  Maybe we could learn a lot from the Meerkats.

Thank you for sharing this information about the DVD too.  I'm sure it is very interesting!!

God's Peace Mishmish!
