…and it should be as clear as that.

yada yada yada we’re ‘muricans, we can do anything we want, yada yada yada, if God didn’t want us to ravage and pillage the Earth, why did he create it for us? yada yada yada

Really tired of all the “flame” illustrations– only takes a few degrees of persistent change to shaft all our “intelligence”, and survival.

BCS, did I miss the religious reference in the comic?

Harley- actually “ideal” for me with fibromyalgia is between 72 and 78 F., but I’ve survived -60degrees and +130 degree environments for limited periods of time. It was easier by the way to compensate for the low temperatures with clothing than the high.

The problem is that many biological systems are NOT as adaptive as we “big brainers”, and they’re in real trouble. Those “weaker” elements also just happen to be many of the ones we depend on, as there existence assures OURS. Somewhere came the expression “Eat dirt!”– we will be in trouble when that is all that’s left.

^ I was brushing my teeth and this caused me to splutter out aloud. Note to self, stop taking the laptop to the bathroom basin.

Thingy, how did you smoosh all your post together like that?

Thingy says (in his best Rod Serling), “Then I remembered the dream that I had in the third grade. I had dreamed of this same occurrence three years earlier! This set me from an early age to thinking about the nature of time and dreams and I tried to understand some of the mysteries that I saw in the world. My uncle loaned me a book called The Strange World of Frank Edwards that was made up of collected news stories of strange things that happened to people. I moved on to Charles Fort and began to study books that recounted some of the odd phenomena that attend reality.”

This page is goofed up…I’m at the college computer and the frames are all messed up. When I was at home I just highlighted the gobbledy-gook and copied it to the comment section and it came out like a paragraph.

Thingy…does this look familiar? When I was an eight-year-old child I went to a small elementary school that, in those days, went up to only the third grade. One night near the end of the third grade I had a dream that I was leaning against a wall of the school that in reality did not exist at the time. The wall was sun warmed and in front of me was a chain link fence. I looked up and was blinded by the bright sun in my eyes but by squinting I could see a man mowing his lawn while a black dog ran back and forth.

I went to a different school for the fourth and fifth grades and during those two years they built an addition onto my old elementary school. At age eleven I went back to the old school for the sixth grade and one day I leaned against the sun warmed back wall of the new part of the school. While standing close to a chain link fence I looked up and found the sun was in my eyes. The bright sun half blinded me but by squinting I could see a man was mowing his lawn as a black dog ran back and forth.

Then I remembered the dream that I had in the third grade. I had dreamed of this same occurrence three years earlier! This set me from an early age to thinking about the nature of time and dreams and I tried to understand some of the mysteries that I saw in the world.

_Wow. I keep blundering into…stuff. Okay, on the radio was Hank Hannegraf, and other bible teachers yesterday. The subject of evil and does God allow evil or was it created - came up. Hannegraaf narrowed it down to three possible world views: 1.) Pantheistic - God in everything and everything is God. 2.)Naturalistic - The universe is material - there is no such categories as “good” or “evil”; The universe simply is a result of natural forces. 3.)Theistic - God created the world with the “potential”; for evil. Free will gives exercise to true Faith and Love…without free will this would not be so. The reason I included the above is because Thingy’s statements seem to conform to the pantheistic view- which under girds much of the New Age philosophy/religions out there. Thingy uses dreams and feelings as analytical tools for reality; yet I would like to take this opportunity to proffer that over 500plus people SAW the Risen Christ (talked to him, touched him, etc.) and these same individuals were happy to face persecution and martyrdom for the privelege of relating the Gospel message. While the Good Dr. conforms to the naturalistic view, of course. The Dr. contradicts himself by being a man of letters yet his view point would not even exist had it not been for the pursuit of virtue in the sciences. (Which largely had their post-Classical and Modern beginnings in Western Christianity.) The theistic Model suggests that God has intervened in the Creation; that good and evil are by-products of humanity’s free agency.. As stated above, without the freedom to choose between good and evil, there is no virtue; there is no true Love and Faith, etc. God created the world with the possibility for evil; the cost of which our titular head Adam brought upon us by his transgression. Secondly God demonstrated his love for us in that He does not give up on us; and has also managed Salvation for the un-salvageable._

It’s good to see so many superstitious people watching and commenting on the editorial cartoons. Might bring some reality into their lives.
