"[/b]...only that which was here before anything was added."[/b]
What do we need? Food, air, water and sunshine.
What's with all this other stuff? What a distraction it all is from what matters. People kill for that stuff. They hate their neighbor and are full of envy and jealousy. They start wars for the stuff. They lie and cheat and steal and kill. They're starving because so many hoard it all to themselves. And on and on it goes.
How on earth did evolution ever progress us to this point? So, 500 million years ago just the right combination of "ingredients" occurs and then it begins. Why did it evolve this way? It seems to me things would have, should have, evolved in a harmonious way. What possible explanation can there be for why so much pain and suffering should have resulted from an evolutionary process?
It appears that evolution has given us nothing but chaos and sorrow, and the threat of complete annihilation, either from ourselves or from nature itself.
If one believes in evolution, then they better pray there is no God, and that man will evolve to the point, soon, where all these extraneous materialistic add ons are no longer desired.
When I was a kid, up to about 11 years old, all I wore was a pair of jeans. The callouses on the bottom of my feet were a 1/2 thick. I needed nothing else besides some food and water and a few friends. I had all the fresh air and sunshine I could take.
Then "they" got a hold of me. But I never forgot my roots.
