Evolution is natural

It seems like so many people try to either find ways of disproving evolution or disproving the spirit world. I believe they are connected to each other. Everything in existence is made of energy, call it God if you want. Energy constantly changes. As spiritual beings, humans, animals, plants (are all spiritual beings) we are all connected. As our spiritual energy grows, it also evolves, and the physical side has no choice but to change and adapt along with it. Scientist's I think can't thoroughly explain how evolution works simply because they deny the spiritual factor that motivates the change in the first place. That I think, is the key. But that's just my personal view.

I don't believe in such thing as the "supernatural". To me, the spirit world is natural.

A lot of scientists might not believe that spirits exist. I think that evolution happens for the same reason that cats shed fur in the summer, and grow in thick fur in the winter, because it helps stuff to survive. That, and natural selection; in cold places, the animals of a certain species who are best adapted and strongest in that location, with the most fur, or other traits are the ones who reproduce, passing on the traits to their offspring. Then, if the climate changes, different traits will be favoured, and those individuals without the needed traits will die more easily while the ones with the traits will live and reproduce, passing on the strongest traits again.

Humans originated in Africa, and their skin was dark, because the sun would have given them all skin cancer. The lightest skinned humans were more likely to get skin cancer and died, without reproducing their light-skinned trait. As humans slowly migrated to different parts of the world, some of the more northern places didn't get as much sun light, so the humans there needed lighter skin, in order to get some sort of vidamin you get from the sun (I don't remember which one) and lighter skin allowed them to take in what little sun there was in the northern places. Those with darker skin didn't get as much of that vitamin, and were therefore not as healthy, and didn't reproduce as much, thus not passing on the dark-skinned trait in that location. That's why humans around the equater have darker skin than humans in northern regions...

Hopefully that makes sense... I may have gotten lost in there somewhere... It makes sense in my head, I just don't know if I've said it correctly... We talked about it in Anthropology last year... which, by the way, is a great class.

Friend Runewolf,
You are right.
evolution is natural bad there are too many missing links but those who understand are closer to enlightenment.
Love & rgds

Ha Ha!! I find it so amusing after going around on this site. There are so many with their university degrees in philosophy/religion and their "big" words trying to put some explanation to God and existence. Yet, through all that, a lot of them seem to know a whole lot of nothing about "existence". Life is not some big mystery. True knowledge and understanding comes from within. That knowledge has been imprinted on our being since the beginning of time itself. Some, I guess, just don't know how to access it. Sorry, don't mean to make fun. My bad.

"Spirit" is not as "supernatural" as it appears. "Spirit" is a shadow cast in grammar by the psychology of being self-aware and the attachment of attributes as self-identity.

Do you think grammar is innate in humans?

Supernatural is the opposite of Natural, meaning, not natural. in otherwords "non existance"

Spirit is the hebrew word "Rauch" that means Wind/air. one of the 4 elements.

The reason humans, animals, plants are spirtial is because they need spirits/air/oxygen to live.

Breath of Life = Spirit
soul = Breathing animal

it can be explained with the 4 elements

Fire-Water-Earth-Air
Sun+Water=Earth+Life
