Why does it seem unbelievable that there was once a goat-type animal with one horn? Particularly since it was mentioned in natural history writings repeatedly? Now Pegasus defies physics and biology, so I'd agree that it is probably purely legend. But again, I believe anything is possible. Our (human) limited sphere of knowledge is no where close to ALL of what there is to see and know.

yes but that's a whole different thing. I didn't say i believed there was never a creature with the kinds of physical features that could have given rise to the myth of unicorns. I said I believe there are no unicorns. Never have been any. Might have been creatures that looked a little like what became the myth of unicorns, but magical horned horses with a penchant for virgin maids? i don't think so. And as for 'anything is possible' No. Not so. Some things aren't possible.

God is like most people over 70 - they are still using aol and dial-up.
It'll take about that long just for them to get online, let alone use that devil program google.

I don't believe in atheism.
I don't believe in God either but I'm willing to consider any evidence and I'll certainly accept proof. I'm not sure (most) religious folk are ready to do the same the other way though. |

There are beliefs that you have to be an atheist to hold, but there are no beliefs that you have to hold to be an atheist.

There's no personal god. If there was, he'd be the devil for allowing stuff like the holocaust, wars in general, and little innocent kids getting cancer, etc.etc.etc., ad nauseum.
On the other hand, I have difficulty with the thought that the universe is just "here." Something must have set the whole thing going. I can imagine god being just like a little kid who just set off a pop bottle rocket when he got the big bang going. But if god started it all, who started god? I run into a dead end of logic either way. I think we are all forms of energy who can trace our ancestry back to the beginning of the universe. And since energy is neither created or destroyed, we'll all continue to be around in one form or another. I also like the Eight Fold Noble Path. And I don't care what the rest of you are as long as you leave me out of it. |
