I agree with THCLord and KevinFinnerty (why was he banned?). But darwinian evolution might not be the final answer... nor is intelligent design necessarily the final answer. Why does everyone hold true to only one of these two beliefs? Isn't it possible that there is something else that could have made us, and everything, the way we are today?

"BUT, spirituality is another thing... as it takes a LOT of intelligence and wisdom for even concieve that there is things beyond our human logic and reason, and things beyond the material, physical world..." - Coelho

Agreed, Coelho, in everything you said in that post.

I believe Spirituality and Religion are two very different things. Religion offers control and safety, while spirituality offers transcendental knowledge and universal consciousness and peace. But we all know that religion hasn't made peace. We are spiritual beings. Forget Jesus and the current way the Bible is looked at. Nobody can deny the fact that the bible has been edited many times to support certain agendas, so how can you trust it? It's control! The last thing they want you to do is realize it's crap, and that the whole understanding of the Bible has been wrong. I believe there's a much deeper meaning in the Bible. It's a story - it's history of what happened back then, nothing more. I believe it is a whole history of an extraterrestial visitation.

Evolution of human consciousness. It will be happening, and the Mayan calendar(s) have been very accurate in showing the evolution of human consciousness, and when it is going to happen.
