Title: Begining of Earth theories. And past stuff.

We have been pondering over the same question how did earth become? How did humans begin? What was the past? And how did life begin? well... time to ponder over it some more :D

That depends on the religion. In my case, God has always been around forever and ever. There has been no real "origin" for God ever provided.

I could go into more detail, but I fear it would only cause issues. Religion is a very touchy subject to discuss on a forum like this.

Another vote for God, and I feel sure I would agree with Scyphi on all points of view on the issue. It's a shame that religion is a particularly touchy subject, especially when emotions get riled up and the anonymity of the internet provides a shield to hide behind when people start throwing stones.

I'd actually be interested to see what religious views are held by fellow board members, but I really don't like the idea of opening up a topic to free expression of religious beliefs because, inevitably, someone will be offended... And that shouldn't happen, really, no matter how sold out one is to their beliefs, even as I am in mine.   :-\

We can certainly disagree and discuss without throwing stones.  If not, there's always a fresh tasty padlock waiting in the shadows.  And as far as the Shield Of Anonymity goes,  the Hammer Of Ban beats that any day! (http://www.prepare4descent.net/slider_popcorn.gif)
