It was just idle speculation my part, as I said, Sooner, something I simply like to think. My view on evolution is very far out on the 'liberal" side for a believing, orthodox Mormon.

Harold Bloom and others. Didn't realize HB had such a part in promulgating this little piece of LDS theology that he deserves first billing.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Postτὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

I don't approve or disapprove. I'm just wanting you to elaborate on how you think God might be involved in our creation. I don't claim to have the answer.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post
I think there are a lot of things about human biology that don't seem like something that our God should have been motivated to create (e.g. semen coagulation).That which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C. Hitchens

I have very few thoughts on the subject of how God might be involved in our creation, which has never interested me much. I figure that since I believe in an omniscient God, it's not much of a stretch after that to figure that he would know how to oversee the creation of the earth, and since I believe he's eternal, I also figure he could take as long as he pleased to do that.Originally posted by SoonerCoug View Post“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Well it's not something that we really think about very often, is it? I just wonder why our Heavenly Father would be so concerned as to create competitive adaptations at semen level. Can you just picture the Designer pondering this issue on Kolob and saying...we need to make sure that the first guy's semen prevents the second guy's sperm from fertilizing the egg!Originally posted by creekster View PostThat which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C.

This was a really interesting thread until everyone started attacking Seattle. There is obviously a long history here and evidently Seattle hasn't been the best at "winning friends and influencing people." But if you dislike him so much, why do you let him goad you into attacking him? It gives him a lot of power over content.
And Seattle... no doubt you're having fun... but if you'd stop being such a jerk people would probably listen to your side of things. I think this really is a relatively tolerant group, considering.Comment

Do you really think people are attacking SU? To me, it looks like he's the one who came out swinging, but maybe that's just my perspective.Originally posted by RoseBud View PostAt least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

You don't understand the dynamic yet. The truth is that everyone loves SU, but there are a wide range of reasons. He is useful in some way too all.Originally posted by RoseBud View PostComment

I agree... he's very useful. That's why I like him.Originally posted by UtahDan View Post
. However, attacking him destroyed this thread.
