Human Origins, Final Thoughts PHI 214
The world has come quite far since 1973 when Roe v. Wade went to the Supreme Court. Now, being pro-life means something very different, even if the idea behind it is the same. With any luck, in the next 40 years, we can go just as far, and perhaps not have labels like "pro-life" or "pro-choice". Wouldn't it be nice if the sanctity of life was respected by all, every life mattered and was considered before rash decisions were made. Perhaps people need to stop focusing so much on what their right is as a human, a woman, a doctor, whoever, and look at what life means to them. We need to define life, find what life is about, come together as a species and realize that LIFE is a gift, LIFE is a blessing, and the processes of the human body are amazing and beautiful. Let's not focus on what we can and can't kill, but rather look at who we can help, who we can save, who can live better in this lifetime.

Andrea,
That would be nirvana for sure. If only there were a chance that we could reach such enlightenment. That's what the Kingdom of Heaven will be like - ? Life is sacred, but not everyone agrees.
There are so many variables to abortion and that's why it's hard to draw a line in the sand and say "yes" or "no."
It's been a pleasure talking to you during this course!

BIll, I got so excited when you started to post about nature and here we are on the body/mind duality I completely lost perspective and tried to shoehorn it and that was completely stupid on my part. I have strong views on this and i need to keep th…

I like your last paragraph. I'm a true lover of the natural world, it includes my field of work. And I am the only person in my community of 9000 with half my front yard with 50+ tall grass prairie plants from seed in my work place. They have b…
I think sweetguy, when we talk about experience and we drift off of that and to that is where the problem is that I have come to realize. So you get one part of a larger picture of where I am coming from as well. That is the limitations of this form…
Kernel,
I mean to state that this is largely the arena that higher education has slowly entrenched intself in. And this has now also become the same arena that "lower" education has also joined. Open mindedness is what education theoretically aimed…
Good comment sweetguy, there are a lot of really good books out there. It does appear our current technology is bring humanity closer to the center of our puzzle rather than the out side fringes, the true picture will begin to emerge. I am really th…

So here is my gravestone to this format and to the talk about enthusiasm.This is no chit chat, mr. Thurman. . Enthusiasm may be like a syren in your ears all the time, and a guy with this inner syren is the guy who will neither listen to anybody, no…
Might I suggest we adjourn this discussion for a moment and move to a more regular forum format where comments can be attached to other comments. IT may be possible, before wrapping up here, to somehow summarize what has come out of this discussion…
So take the sticks to set the rhythm, John. You're good at that.
I just read the how to make our ideas clear. I wasn't sure where I wasn't clear exactly my fault I suppose. I ask for facts and I guess that isn't clear my mistake.
ok ok I will knock it off. i like to tweak people a bit> Sweet I am just playing a bit here you don't know me but i'll rift off a bit just to spark a thought, so take me with a grain of salt ok. although i do like to stick to facts so if we can talk…
David, knock it off for awhile. We will get to you and your individual agendas in a minute. Right now it is important to build a collective agenda. We know you are American and born to lead but for God's sake man stop provoking reactions to meet a p…
You think I missed something? Maybe I did, mr. Thurman, you are so difficult to read sometimes... but it is surely fantastic being the man you are, the father of that shining being! I hope you wlll grasp QM more&more, to unfatomable heights. Do you…
The comment on the comment describing a lily smell.
Coleridge remixed: What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when yo…
Quantum Biology. I have just started to look more closely at this and of course it makes total sense why didn't someone think of this before. Oh Schrodinger said this in 1951 sorry someone with a clue from the Quantum crowd did say that. Then again…
It's all biology to me Sweeetguy no separation at all. Uncertainty applies as i said clearly. obviously you missed that part.That is complely implied by quantum mechanics. No unless you happen to have an idea based on another fact, to which I am all…
Our modern concept of emperical proofing started in christianity actually. if you are a Resurrection literalist you are an emperical Materialist. The sole basis for even having that in the story was to capture the individual that is emperically mat…
