					<description><![CDATA[Barbara,

    &lt;em&gt;&quot;Why can&#039;t we all agree and save our planet&#039;s future?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;



      Because the ego takes us over and causes the disconnect between the inner Child and the outer Adult.    It is so interesting that you have brought this up at this time.   I read a book recently on exactly this topic and it was very revealing.   The problem, as I see it, is that our Western Culture has been focused on competition as the route force in nature ever since Darwin and the Industrial Revolution.   When we acknowledge that it is not competition, but cooperation that needs to drive us our need for dominance is no longer as important.

      I do not see any difference in Religion or Science.  They are both looking for truth, but in different ways.    When both come to the realization that they are looking for the same things perhaps we will see some progress in the areas you have concerns about.   I believe there is an ultimate truth it is just not that clear to us in our journey through life, that is where faith comes in, whether it is in ones religious tradition or the scientific process in its purest sense.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Wisdom of Truth

There is no doubt in my mind that intelligence in microorganisms (The God of Higher Being) creating an environment that could sustain life for all its creations of Living beings that live now and the ones that lived in history.



 The interpretation of its meaning that began with spiritual beliefs in all religions is the children’s story version in a general overview of how life was created for our species to understand it. It is also the voice of wisdom from experience that gives instructions on encouraging healthy Human behavior that serve to protect us from ourselves and all others that we share this planet.  Our emotions and our self awareness of them are still in its infancy stage of learning that self discipline and cooperation with our environment is important for our survival.



This is centered in the subconscious mind

Our emotional being

“The Child”



Science in all fields of research is the adult’s story version in the complexity of details of how life was created. The information is enormous in data for human comprehension.



This is centered in the conscious mind



Our Self Awareness

“The Adult”





Religions since early human civilization have warned us that by not living by the behavior guidelines that we are taught to us as sin, immoral acts from our spiritual faith will have severe consequences.

These work as a destructive mechanism to the health of the planet.



Science is also telling the same story that what we are doing in destructive behavior on a global scale to the planet will also produce severe consequences.



Our spiritual belief that tells us the rules for moral human behavior and scientific facts tells us why they should have been obeyed.



Religion and Science is the Truth of Creation of Life



Why can’t we all agree and save our planet’s future?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Religion has its own &quot;anthropology,&quot; a model of human behavior.  Calling this model &quot;normative&quot; doesn&#039;t excuse the model from fault if the model makes faulty predictions or if adherence to the model causes harm.  Science can demonstrate that the assumptions such a model are demonstrably false; scienc can also reliably predict outcomes.  Religion isn&#039;t equipped to run societies alone.]]></description>

99249

Go homosexual &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Dat&#039;s right.



You see, the sin nature with which we are all created, thanks to Adam and Eve, offers up all kinds of ungodly options; and homosexuality, according to God, is one of them.  So, when that ungodly notion pops up, you gotta choice whether to go homosexual, or to go to the Word of God and avoid all the trouble homosexuality brings.



Jesus showed us how to avoid such temptations from the sin nature.]]></description>
