some people are just stupid...

Look at the post you made, that I quoted. Before you even wrote something, you quoted the other user Beex215.

Oh, man. I was thinking too broadly and you were just ripping on somebody!

You meant

Wow. You really think we will be around in 1000 years? Why is it okay for such a temporary species as a land mammal to sneak into earth's archives and damage things? Our research will die with our species. That coral will keep right on growing until the universe collapses. For perspective, how would you like it if an animal that lived for one day walked up to you, ripped your ear off just to look at it for a minute, then fell over dead? Our race has serious ego issues. We are not the end-all of wisdom and knowledge. We are just one page in a book too big to ever comprehend.

If you think that the human race will cease to exist, I can't debate you. I don't agree with that at all. I am a Christian and we all know that the Judeo-Christian philosphy is built upon the notion of creationism and the earth being the center of the universe and mankind being the beneficiary of all that was created. Your thinking is 360 degrees out of sync with my thinking, so I shall pass.

its for research. that little snip means life for all to come in the millions of years to come under the sun.

^That quote, lol

I haven't quoted anyone. What I said is just what I believe. Read Proverbs.

What is Beex's full name? I keep finding 'Bee x' and other irrelevant things.

the dude with steve irwin in his avatar lol

shame shame, dont mention religion or we'll get into a religious debate, which would cause this to be locked.

Yeah, that quote.

The hard part is, I try to believe everything in the Word, but it's so much easier to practice the daily and interpersonal things than it is to practice the creationism portion. I think I will forever be torn between varying blends of creationism and evolutionary/'ancient universe' concepts. I readily agree to disagree on points like this because they have such little bearing on love, etc.

No religious debates here! I mean it!

Back to the coral. It is amazing and impressive, but not very colorful. Too bad.

 

[Delhezi222]

Hmm, how many pages...
I'll go with 5. Anybody care to place a bet?

 

[rmorse]

^If it continues this way, 3.

Five pages of talking about an ancient coral? Threads like these usually don't generate that kind of volume of responses. I don't know that much about saltwater life, so I really haven't much more to say.
