JUST SIGNED UP,SO HAVE NOT READ MUCH HERE BUT HAVE MY OWN IDEAS ON THE BEGININGS OF "THINGS".WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LINKED TO A TYPE OF SEA WORM AND AFTER SEEING THE AUTOPSY ON A ELEPHANT I REALISE THATS ALL WE ARE , BIG WORMS THAT HAVE EVOLVED A SCAFFOLD (BONES)AROUND OUR TUBE GUTS TO ENABLE US TO RUN ABOUT WITHOUT FALLING APART.THE FOOD GOES IN ONE END AND OUT THE OTHER AND OVER THE BILLIONS OF YEARS VARIOUS BITS ARE ADDED ON IF IT OF A ADVANTAGE.
 HUMANS THAT ARE WHITE ARE WHITE BECAUSE THE ARE SEEN LESS EASILY IN A DULL COLD CLIMATE ,THEY HAVE LIGHT COLOURED EYES TO REFLECT THE LIGHT INTO THERE BRAINS.IF YOU WERE BLACK SKINED YOU WOULD BE SEEN AND ZAPPED BY SOMETHING AND THERE FOR IN EVOLUTION THE DARKER SKIN WOULD NOT BE A ADVANTAGE AND WOULD DIE OUT.THE SAME IN A SUNNY CLIMATE IF YOU WERE WHITE YOU WOULD BE SEEN WITH LIGHT REFLECTION COMPARED WITH A DARK SKIN.YOUR EYES WOULD ALSO EVERHEAT AND WATER AND YOU WOULD NOT SEE THE WILD THINGS COMMING AT YOU. 
 SO THATS ALL WE ARE ,WORMS OF NO ADVANTAGE TO THE UNIVERSE ONLY TO OUR OWN EXISTANCE.IF WE ALL DIED TOMORROW AND THE WORLD SPLIT IN TWO IT WOULD NOT MATTER A THING TO ANY THING .WE WOULD JUST NOT BE HERE.FINISHED ,GONE AND THEN THE WORM GOD WOULD PLANT A BIT MORE SEED AND WE WOULD ALL START AGAIN.


>THE FOOD GOES IN ONE END AND OUT THE OTHER AND OVER THE BILLIONS OF YEARS VARIOUS BITS ARE ADDED ON IF IT OF A ADVANTAGE.-Welcome aboard. Quite right analysis. The alimentary canal is outside the body and the colon contains some of the nastiest bugs you can image, living quietly with us until our defenses break down.

> THEN THE WORM GOD WOULD PLANT A BIT MORE SEED AND WE WOULD ALL START AGAIN.-Really? Do you think we'll kill ourselves off, and God would start it up again? Do you think the Earth would survive a anatomic Armegeddon? Or would life be started on a planet in a galaxy far, far away? And what sort of God would do that?

SPOTTI-CROW: SO THAT'S ALL WE ARE, WORMS OF NO ADVANTAGE TO THE UNIVERSE ONLY TO OUR OWN EXISTENCE. IF WE ALL DIED TOMORROW AND THE WORLD SPLIT IN TWO IT WOULD NOT MATTER A THING TO ANYTHING. WE WOULD JUST NOT BE HERE. FINISHED, GONE AND THEN THE WORM GOD WOULD PLANT A BIT MORE SEED AND WE WOULD ALL START AGAIN.-DAVID TURELL: Really? Do you think we'll kill ourselves off, and God would start it up again? [...] Or would life be started on a planet in a galaxy far, far away? And what sort of God would do that?-First of all, a warm welcome to Spotti-Crow, and many thanks for this very colourful post. I'm not convinced that in the bright African sun, predators would find it harder to spot a dark skin than a white one, and I suspect the colour has more to do with protection against the climate and solar radiation. However, your chosen name suggests you may know more about this than I do.-What really interests me is the above quote (and David's response), as it neatly encapsulates two of our major problems on this forum. Is there such a thing as a "worm God"? If so, what is its nature? This second question is inevitably linked to the issue of why it would plant its "seed" in the first place. You will see from the range of headings that we have branched out into a variety of related subjects, but it would be interesting to know where you stand on these two basic questions.

IS THERE A SENT BOX AS MY REPLY DID NOT GO THROUGH ?

WE MIGHT NOT KILL OUR SELVES OFF AS THE EARTH COULD DO IT BY ITS SELF.IF WE DID CRACK UP THEN THIS WORM MIGHT DIE OUT (IF THINGS DO )BUT MAYBE NOT AND IF NOT OR OTHERWISE, THEY ARE FOUND ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND AND WOULD JUST KEEP GOING ANYWAY,ANYWHERE THEY ARE.THEY WOULD NOT LOOK EXTERNALLY THE SAME AS WE ARE USED TO.


> THEY ARE FOUND ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND AND WOULD JUST KEEP GOING ANYWAY,ANYWHERE THEY ARE.THEY WOULD NOT LOOK EXTERNALLY THE SAME AS WE ARE USED TO.-Are you claiming that life is all over the universe?

THE WORM GOD CAN SPAWN HIS SEED ANY WHERE ANY TIME IN THIS UNIVERSE AND BEYOND.EVERY THING THAT EXISTED ON THIS EARTH BE IT NAUTILUS,SAURUS,APE, BIRD, FLY,WHAT EVER, IS A WORM.CUT THEM OPEN AND "HI" THERES A WORM INSIDE DOING THE SAME THING IT DID A BILLION YEARS AGO,FOOD IN FOOD OUT.ITS EVEN GOT WORMS!
 EVALUTION ,NO THE BASIC WORM IS STILL THERE AND JUST HAS ADD-ONS TO SUIT ITS SURROUDINGS,SHELL,HIDE,FEATHERS,WHAT EVER FOR CAMOUFLAGE.AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WHEN THE AFRICAN VENTURED INTO A COLDER CLIMATE HE WAS EASILY SEEN IN THE SNOW AND THERE FOR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME BECAME LIGHTER AND LESS VISIBLE BUT DID BECOME SUN BURNT.INSIDE OF HIM WAS NO DIFFERENT,STILL THE SAME WORM.
 THE NATURE OF THE WORM GOD IS TO EXIST AND IF YOU BELIEVE THIS HE DOES.
QUESTION.....
IN THEORY A WHITE PERSON SHOULD BE LIVING IN THE SUN AS IT REFLECTS SUN WHERE AS A BLACK PERSON ABSORBS THE HEAT OF THE SUN SO THE WHITE SKIN IS CAMOUFLAGE.MELANIN SHOULD BE WHITE AND BECOME WHITER IN THE SUN IF WHITENESS WAS NOT CAMOUFLAGE.


> THE NATURE OF THE WORM GOD IS TO EXIST AND IF YOU BELIEVE THIS HE DOES.-I don't believe you or your theory at all.->

I am trying to be serious with you. Are you being serious with us?

Spotti-Crow: THE NATURE OF THE WORM GOD IS TO EXIST AND IF YOU BELIEVE THIS HE DOES.-You said your reply to my own post did not go through, so I don't know what went wrong. Maybe you didn't click on 'submit'?-I'd asked if you thought there really was such a thing as a worm god, and if so what was its nature, and its purpose for spawning its "seed". The above response is so cryptic that I can only speculate on its meaning. You say the worms are found all over the universe, and "they would not look the same as we are used to". In that case, presumably they might not conform to your worm structure at all. I wonder if instead of worms you would consider "particles", as these could assume any form. This would bring your concept close to Frank's process theology, except that Frank's God is personal and loving. Is yours conscious or unconscious?-"IF YOU BELIEVE THIS HE DOES" suggests that if you don't believe it, he doesn't. But following your theory, if he doesn't exist, how come we're here? Sorry, but I don't understand this at all, so perhaps you could make the theory a little clearer. -You write: "EVOLUTION, NO THE BASIC WORM IS STILL THERE AND JUST HAS ADD-ONS TO SUIT ITS SURROUNDINGS..." Don't the add-ons constitute evolution? Even if the basic "worm" is still doing the same thing as it did billions of years ago (i.e. "food in, food out", though you left out reproduction), that doesn't alter the fact that now there is a species of "worm" that can investigate its own history, can change its own environment, can write symphonies, can create machines of all kinds, can question the existence of the worm god.....Perhaps we have a different interpretation of the word "evolution". Again, it would be helpful if you could supply some "add-ons" to your theory.

Sorry, but I don't understand this at all, so perhaps you could make the theory a little clearer. -I think Spotti-worm is testing us. Certainly anything you believe in exists in your mind. That is the way I parse his statement. And that is sensible. On the other hand if he is really into worms, and not as a metaphor, he may be just kidding us and is not serious. I certainly don't want neurotic discussion here.
