Ok, I admit I was not free of prejudice. I was talking to the unknown scientist, while you are a real person. You must realize I have nothing against you. I kinda rushed you, I realize. Actually that was on the border of rudeness. Well, I got carried away. A certain part of me likes to provoke.
But I mean all the things I said, and I am glad when somone points out it’s shortcomings.
I am not an english native. I am hungarian. Hungarian is not a gender sensitive language. Because of this I am always had to consciously chose what words I use, and I use “man” for Human being, and not for a male human. Of course this does not make my english pardonable, but I hope it eases a bit the offense I brought to your womanhood. Let me adress you this imaginary bucket of tulips as a sign of respect to you. 
Usually I find talking to women easier as they are … nicer. I am sorry if I haven’t been too nice, I’ll behave better. A strong desire for thruth is often mistaken to fundamentalism. If we’d only were allowed to say really true things, we should take the vow of silence, isn’t it ?
I am not a creationist if by creationist we mean people who beleive in a superficially understood judeo-christian genesis.
I am not speaking on behalf of any religion, I am not entitled to, I speak only in my own name,a nd what I have come to learn.
By not accepting the evolutionary theory, I do not mean I trash it completely.
I was just trying to point out that it is a theory, and, it has it’s white spots. The fact that it is accepted by 99.99 % of the scientsis does not mean much regarding it’s validity. With the exception of biologists, geneticists, zoologists (I read the Naked ape, by Desdmond Morris, and I admit that I did not thought so many supposedly human things can be explainde by zoology alone- good teaching on humility) and other related scientists, the rest of them accept it because it is widely accepted, not passing it through the scrutiny of personal thought. That greatly reduces the percentege … not that it would really matter. Truth is not based on how many people beleive it. There was a time when most people beleived that the Earth is flat, or the Earth is the center of the solar system.
12 years before I was an adept of evolutionary theory, and used it to show how the old fashion judeo-christian genesis is silly. I am still very interested in paleoanthropology, for example. Today, I see the genesis of the Old Covenant with a different eyes. It is true, but it is a mythical presentation, and not factual.
The very fact about the Church accepting the evolutionary theroy shows only that mainstream christianity as organized religion descended into a rude materialism. No, it is far from useless, but it is also far from the greatness of what it could be.
By invisible actions, I mean the force what makes the seed to come up in spring as a plant. I talk about the miracle of the life being present in a little seed, what makes possible that from anorganic matters of the soil, a living being can sprout. Yes I know, the genes inthe DNS, they are the supposed program what directs this phenomenon, but they do not explain it completely. Genes, DNS, direct heredity, but that is still not life, it is the material support of life. We do not know yet, the scientist says, how this wonderful complexity works, how matter builds itself to a higher level and becomes alive, but we beleive this to be true. Because they refuse to acknowledge the living presence of the plant, (souls were not found by autopsies), they say, life is a very complex but still materially determined phenomenon, what somehow arrived to the programs of self preservation and reproduction, and because there is no reason in the present for it to exist, we must conclude that it arrived to it’s present complexity through an evolutionary process, through mutations, through trial and error.
It is clear that life works, manifests itself againts the laws of enthrophy, the laws of the mineral reign, the laws of physics, and chemistry. The whole complexity of a living being shows that it struggles against these very laws, to remain alive, using these laws in very clever and complex ways to maintain it’s phisiological activity.
What I believe, is that instead of seeking the reason for life in ageless times, the reason for it’s perpetuation by chance and mutation, we should see the reason for life in life itself, in this very moment. I believe that there is an invisible to eye presence in the plant, what directs it’s life, what can teach us higher reasons for it’s very existence.
Life is a wonder, a miracle, a presence. Materialistic science would like us to beleive that there are no such miracles. The forces what direct life are on a higher plane, one not visible to the senses. This does not mean it is not real, the very existence of plant life, animal life and man is shows that these exists as manifestations of higher and higher planes. This is not abstarct thought or theory, but something what can be expereinced through spiritual training.
You are right in that to really know these things, man must rise above experincing the world only through his/her senses and this is a personal matter, but I am not satisfied with the leave the rest to religion thought. There is a wide gap between materialist science and religion today, and this is not something we cannot change. It is possible a middle ground, a place where unbiased scientific methods are used in the study of the suprersensible. When the same unbiased, rigourous, and honest attitudes are used in man’s personal life, the results will not be absent.
I realise that I lack scientific education, as I am not a scientist. I am a man, who seeks answers to the question of his life, questions on what my whole life depends on. I am not against science or it’s improvements of our external life, but I am pretty much against a short sighted materialism. This is the only point I’d like to make, there is much more to life, to the world, to human beings, than the world to be perceievd by the senses alone.
On one part, scientis dig themselves into great details, but they kind of miss the whole. On the other part, religions state absolute truths, to be accepted by blind faith.
I heard a lecture of a quantum physicist, who stated that the main problem today is, that there are many hypotesis what work on their own, in different areas of research (experimental physics, mathematics, etc), but these cannot be brought to work togheter. These things are mind boggling and so far from what we usually are able to comprehend through ordinary thinking based on our senses that only a few people in the world understand them.
If we manage to nurture and develop the thought of living presence in the tree what is in our front yard, not just a tree, a memory of the tree evoked by the sensorial stimuli, the tree will talk to us, and we will develop new senses. The soul is what gains knowledge, not the brain. And the soul to be perceptive, calm, respect are the basic traits to develop. We see how in many ways, the modern world works against these traits. We must learn to direct our lives, and make our decisisons wisely, so we are not lost in a superficial materialism.
As you say, scientists are well aware of what they do not know … but the ordinary people who lack the time to give scientific results the proper thought, will become superficial, and this leads to moral weakness. If matter is the only truth, if we live only once, if there is nothing spiritual, than morality is only a social constraint, and than I can be a thief, a liar, a brute, if I can manage to avoid the consequences.
PS. women rock !
PPS. Disclaimer: I have these long posts as I am not that able to express myself in english, and also the nature of the subject is such that requires the building upon many thoughts. Taking some of the statements out of their context, not necessarily by ill will, but perhaps by lack of the capacity in following them, might generate misunderstandings.
