OK, this one I could skim through!

 

I just want to make a couple of points:

 

It's based on the theory of evolution - the whole thing. That's not

wise. It's never wise to base anything that claims to be truly

scientific on theory. Contrary to popular opinion, evolution has

never been proven and is just what it says it is: The THEORY of

evolution. It may be popular to believe it and many people will bash

you for being stupid and unscientific if you don't, but there are an

awful lot of people who have rejected it - including some very high

level scientists.

 

Just a thought on menstruation. I've read up on this one and there

is quite a persuasive argument in favour of the concept that

menstruation itself is not natural. To summarise some of the main

points of this line of reasoning:

The womb lining is a mucous-y stuff, NOT blood. The blood comes from

the capillaries in the womb breaking thanks to hormonal fluctation.

In others words, it's a haemorrage, (which I don't think I can

spell), and, if it happened in the lungs or the brain, it would kill

us.

All other bodily functions are painless, (under normal circumstances)

and there is no loss of vitality attached to them. So, it doesn't

make you really ill to go for a poop, for instance and you don't need

several days to recover from it. The sheer length of the list of

symptoms that go along with menstruation for many women suggests

rather strongly that it is, in fact, a pathological condition (ie an

illness, a malfunction), and not a normal body function.

There are reputed to be whole tribes of women leading a much more

natural lifestyle that do not menstruate but still bear children.

There is no normal loss of blood.

and so on....

 

As for the low evergy levels. That's an interesting one as

representatives from *all* types of diet experience this. Many

people are constantly tired and much of it is poor nutrition

induced. In the case of raw foodists, there are almost as many

schools of thought on that one as there are people 'doing the diet'

so it stands to reason that some may be closer to the ideal that

others. A Canadian chap recently published a book on why raw

foodists fail and how to 'streamline' the diet so as to regain

health. On the other hand, there are the majority of high or all raw

foodists who experience soaring energy levels. I remember doing a

raw diet myself for a few days and it certainly happened to me!

 

Anyway, just some thoughts.

 

Hugs,

Hi,

 

Regarding the theory of evolution just being a theory...

 

Are you serious, or joking here?

 

Yes, it is just a theory. But so is the theory of gravity, and so is the

theory that the earth is round...they have just been shown to be correct so

many times that people have, over the years, dropped the 'theory' term. Any

scientific idea is a theory. That doesn't really mean it is likely to be

wrong though, just that science always admits he possibility of error.

The reason anybody with sense regards theories as theories is because

Simon -

 

I have to wonder whether you've done too many drugs in the past ? Or

maybe not enough ?

 

The only theories which can be proven are mathematical ones (that

includes logic and also philosophy to a certain extent).

 

For theories about the real (physical) world we rely on

_observations_ aka _evidence_ to establish on balance of probability

the likelihood that any given theory may be regarded as true.

(Conversely a theory may often be _disproven_ if evidence of a

suitable counterexample can be found.)

 

In the case of evolution, as in the case of the world being round

rather than flat, there is so much overwhelming evidence to support

it that only an irrational person with some kind of dogmatic agenda

would fail to be convinced. Sadly, though, this happens all too

often, e.g. fundamentalist religious zealots, such as the religious

right in America who interpret the old testament as literal " truth " .

I wonder whether you understand the meaning of the word theory. If a theory

is proven to be right then it is no longer theory but fact.

I also wonder if you understand the difference between good and bad yet?.>

I don't doubt the earth being round..as I don't that believe the phyical

So would you regard the old testement as not literal truth but some sort of

other truth?

 

Truth can only be Truth.

Are you just thinking out loud here ?

Perhaps you'd like to come up with a definition ? I'm certain that

any definition you can come up with I can find an exception to.

FIrstly, the old testament is just a bunch of mythology.

 

Secondly, yes there are truths other than literal truths. Have you

ever read a good novel ?

Dude, like that's so, _profound_, dude.

I'm sure you could.. I'm talking about the good that follows on from good

that makes more goodness.

The good that follows bad can't be misleading as it can make people believe

that you need badness in order to get goodness..and that is not true.>

Like a novel ..have you read anything that you have found interesting in

the old testement?

Yes I have ..as apposed to lies... a novel of a fictitious nature might

I'd like to think we're a little more than that.

Maybe dust with a little bit of ocean mixed in with a mindful soul made up

of every part of infinate space, capable of......Whoops I'm getting carried

away here..time to stop.

 

I 've no real axe to grind especially with vegans as there is more then one

way to stroke a cat.

Simon what the *hell* are you talking about ? I think you either need

to increase the dose on your current meds or ask your doctor to try

something new.

and I see you like the word 'hell'.

You like to make ass-umptions don't you Paul?. and do you really not have

any clue

of what I mean??

Good is an exteral force not an interal force.

 

Children have to be taught whats good and bad a lot of the time.

If two people are in love and they stay in love all their lives..that is

good..they pass that on to their children who in turn say become vegan say

from reading Genesis 1...they in turn pass that on to their

children... so being vegan and committent to each other is past on..things

are getter better and better now..good is leading to more good.

 

Second example...Someone punches you in your face and does stop until

someone stops that person from doing it.

When that person stops punching you ..it is good..because we know punching

people is a bad thing to do. So good has come from bad!.

 

Not the best examples. I hope the general points are made fairly clear.

Good is not a " force " of any kind. The concept of good is just a

fairly arbitrary human emotional judgement. It has no intrinsic

meaning or value outside of the human mind. It's a " meme " , if you

like.

 

Try choosing something other than Genesis as your bedtime reading and

see if you can expand your horizons a little.

I do not know your reading but if it's convincing you that goodness is not a

force outside human concept as has you believing it doesn't even exist..

then your just too far away from my understanding.

I'd say trying not to harm any non-harming thing.. is a good way to live,

not because I decide it is,but because I have discovered it is through

observing the enviroment around me.

 

With the concept that everything is only what we preceive it to be... is

not that correct.. as our minds try to make sense of what we are really

seeing,hearing sensing etc, we instinctly are searching for what is good

joyous etc..even though sometimes we are misled in the ways of finding it.

 

Happy searching.

the earth isn't quite that round ... it's a bit squashed ... and bumpy ...

 

in fact the surface area of the earth if calculated according to the 'earth being round' is inaccurate ... and is likely to be two or three times smaller than the 'real' surface area of the earth ... simply due to the roughness of the surface...

 

so the theory of the earth being round ... is in fact misleading and can lead to very erroneous calculations ....

 

there is a theory of gravity ... but noone knows how it works ... it's just there... and so is open still to being debunked by a wider particle or field theory in the future...

 

i agree tho ... they are just theories ... and all theories can be modified... (even this one)

Paul,

Play fair once in a while will you? You seem to enjoy not only looking for the

worst in people,and criticising their beliefs if they differ from yours, but

insulting them at every chance! Insinuating that they are on drugs, offering a

one way ticket to space etc.....

BE NICE

Most of the vegans in this group seem more tolerant of others beliefs, and have

that rare ability to make fun of themselves more than others...Join in.You amy

enjoy it? It may be a jungle out there, but in this vegan cyber world its a bit

nicer,and big cats are not allowed to prey on the smaller prey..

I am waffling again......Come back Fraggle, hows the rock?

 

The Valley Vegan....

Good is an exteral force not an interal force.

 

Good is not a " force " of any kind. The concept of good is just a

VV - I didn't realise you were the new moderator of Vegan UK - you're

probably right - the rough and tumble belongs on Vegans Uncensored,

not Vegan UK.

 

Simon - if you want to keep arguing the fundie creationist line can

you take it to YU ? Thanks.

I like others here have been giving my opinion on subjects that have been

discussed on this group..that have been mostly with veganism in mind.

 

If you don't like my point thats up to you.

 

Can't you argue your points else?

 

Cheers

Simon

We're not allowed to disagree here and more apparently, so if you are

genuinely interested in explaining why Genesis is right and science

is wrong then we'll have to take it to a group where disagreement is

still permitted, e.g. Vegans Uncensored.
