Can you explain reproduce to better the genes passed to the species as whole and for what specific reason?On another note regarding the reproduction, maybe deep down, your old Christian ideologies are coming to the surface.To me, all beings are in the making to becoming more perfected humans rather than intelligent humans existing in a more intelligent technological world. Not all are born to become rocket scientist or Rhodes scholars. Some of us are not highly intelligent. And future earthlings not born yet will still become more intelligent than others if we are talking about book smart stuff. What then is it to be intelligent? According to who or what standard? I believe some are called to be different in roles all woven to become a functioning prospering subdued earth. Who is going to clean up our homes and makeup our hotel beds and prepare our take out food? Or work highway construction. And clean our toilets. I don't think we were all created to be highly intelligent. Not that these persons are not intelligent in their field of work. This is why to me evolvement of the stat of the soul is more important that the evolvement of the intelligent mind. Besides, one big atomic terrorist bomb detonated and all the intelligence is out the window.(Edited by jade on 08-13-2007 19:41) [/quote] Ermmm...I never mentioned "subdue the earth" :confused: Not sure why you threw that in there, or why you feel the need to quote the Bible. I also never mentioned reproducing to [b]better the genes passed to the species as a whole[/b], either. I said that a living being that lives long enough to reproduce has a better chance of passing its genes on to the species as a whole. This is in regards to a living being that does not live long enough to reproduce. This does not necessarily mean that the genes that are passed on are "better". In fact, it is possible that they are worse. Surviving to pass on genes does not necessarily mean that one has better genes. Also, you need to seperate intelligence from technology and building on what came before. State of the soul? Prove that a soul exists, first. Or do you mean State of Being? As usual, your ability to actually [i]reason and think clearly and logically[/i] is sadly missing, Jade. You make huge leaps in your reasonings and postings - leaps that make no sense and are totally unsupported. You do realize that your belief is exactly that - a belief. There is not one factual shred of evidence for it. I hope you realize this. This realization then leads to moderation - you will then realize that you have no right to impose your beliefs on others, for they are unsubstantiated. You will learn that your beliefs only apply to [b]you[/b] and to no-one else. Well, one can hope.
