ABEL\'S UNIVERSE (General)

Abel: "The Elohim (angels) eat food processed from vegetable sources. So they are vegetarian."

Balance_Maintained: "This is a direct contradiction to your entire theory, in which you state that your 'gods', angels or whatever you call them arose from a highly purgatorial environment."

This is not a contradiction. Men are omnivores, yet some choose to be vegetarian because of their philosophy. But men have not always had the choice. Until they became aware of the need to eat beans and rice/corn together, they did not have the option. The Elohim are probably the same. Now that they can be vegetarian, they are.

Balance_Maintained: "Ok. We have pointed this out in other posts, but I will reiterate it here. Do not simply say "I have reams of empirical evidence" and then not produce any. Secondly, current ecologist and scientist are working in a world that has already been thrown wildly out of balance by mankind. If Mankind was removed entirely out of the equation, the world would re-balance itself over time. Lastly, I did not say that things wouldn't teeter-totter. I said that the system is self-righting. Over the course of time it would eventually setting into a much more stable precession, but the process would involve gradualistic changes in birth rates etc."

I do not need to produce empiric evidence to support the position of the vast majority of the scientific community. It is you who presented a hypothesis without any evidence and dhw who believes it. Your argument is flawed and flies in the face of currently accepted and practiced theories. Theories that are accepted and practiced by millions. Yours is the burden of proof not mine.

Balance_Maintained: "So, if the survival instinct, of which pain, pleasure, hunger, and a myriad of other sensations are ancillary, is the root of all evil, then by your logic the only true pure souls would be those that felt nothing, including the desire to live. By extension, the only righteous thing is a dead thing."

Actually, my logic would never say such a thing. Righteous things are truthful, honest, innocent, loving and tolerant as well as alive. Whether in life, or in the afterlife what is cherished by heaven is the same.
