Tell me exactly what all the different stages of the human life form you are aware of and have proof of.

What piece of slime did we humans evolved from? What one celled animal did we spring from again? What form of life was it that crawled out of the ocean to eventually become human? And how exactly did it manage to do that?

Please enlighten me.

I don't consider them to be "assumptions" at all. I derived at this hypothesis by logical deduction.

That would have to be a large fan if you convince someone it is wind.

But in movies, I can see illusions are created all the time.

By "seen" that would include detected by any of our senses.

Wind is felt.

It is moving air.

Hence, the moving air created by a fan is also wind.

Yes.

Consciousness comes in degrees. It exists in everything and is everywhere.

even bacteria, cells, atoms, protons,

An "illusion" is something that we can see and we think is real.

You can't call consciousness an illusion because, like the mind, you can't see it.

You can's see a lot of things. Love, hate, emotions, thoughts... you can't see any of these things.

I can't prove it, but I believe that consciousness is the basis for everything.

Without it, there is no life.

Sounds like you just sabotage your own relationships because you don't really want to be in one Tex.

Also concerning the "meaning of life" as it relates to an individual is quite different than the "meaning of life" as it relates to the whole.

Humans are probably the only beings who can claim that anything "has meaning." We are also capable of having an imagination which allows us to project our consciousness via our imagination anywhere we choose. In doing so, we can imagine what life might mean in general or for the entire universe.

Nothing 'requires' meaning. Nothing on its own can have any meaning.

What is meaningful is a matter of an individual conscious perspective.

Some feel that certain evidence does exist. Others are more hard core like you, and disagree. If you choose to say that their evidence is 'not conclusive' that is your opinion and conclusion.

I would say the evidence is overwhelming that life exists, everywhere, but you don't have to agree with me or anyone else.

I would also say that of all the stars and galaxies and planets that exist in this universe.... that to even suggest that only the earth has life, is preposterous and arrogant.

I thought you didn't like when women played games? And yet, you're playing games with them? Sounds like you're hoping they'd be nosy.

This is where we differ a lil TS... I would never create a imaginary scenario by planting the items you described. My purpose would not be to disturb someone's psyche... I would call that "head games"

No offence to anyone's M.O here but what would be the point again? To get a rise out of them? Start off on bad footing? Get rid of her?

I'll pass on this method.

Mingle2 is an illusion.

TexasScoundrel is an illusion.

This entire reality and everything in it is an illusion of the mind.

The mind, the brain, and everything that exists is a manifestation of consciousness.

so that would make everything an illusion.

Math isn't evidence? Try telling that to the scientists who have presented their "proof" of how the Twin Towers collapsed without explosives. LOL

Math isn't evidence? See if you can find one scientist or physicist who will agree with that statement.

Bacteria from Mars found inside ancient meteorite

Martian bacteria arrived on Earth on a meteorite which smashed into the Antarctic 13,000 years ago, Nasa scientists believe.

Their fossilised remains have been found in the rock, which was blasted out of Mars 16 million years ago as the solar system was forming.

The meteorite, called Allen Hills 84001, made headlines in 1996 after fossils were found in it. Scientists believed they were bacteria from Earth that contaminated the rock while it lay in the frozen wastes.
But a Nasa report now says there is strong evidence they originated on Mars, according to The Sun.

Dr Emily Baldwin, deputy editor of the UK's Astronomy Now magazine, said: "Many scientists argued that what looked like fossils in the meteorite were really caused by the explosive event, such as an asteroid impact, that blasted the rock out of Mars in the first place.

"But the Nasa team is now saying they have proved that they could not have been produced by the blast itself.

It's a day like my birthday and new year's and christmas where I get to feel crap about myself and the fact that I am single and lonely, with my life just passing me by.

It's the world rubbing it in that nobody really cares about me apart from my family, as if I didn't already know that and needed to be reminded of that fact. It depresses the hell out of me.

Seeing how meaning requires drawing correlations, and life does not, it seems clear to me that the question is misguided.

In the most I believe in what you say if a kid only knows what he's been shown in life who's fault there's or there upbringing that's the point of this forum I'm trying to understand why they give up so early in life and its not the majority of kids but respect for your comment

I used to believe this and to a certain extent it is true. Nevertheless, you can't speak to someone on the internet for months without getting a reasonable idea of what they are like and whether or not there could potentially be something between you, assuming that they aren't just a total liar.

I met someone on here. We had stuff in common and a friendship developed. I told her that I had a good feeling about her and that I thought that she was my kind of girl. I looked forward to getting her messages every day and I was extremely honest and open about myself and my feelings. It is true that I kept telling her that what I want is a proper girlfriend and without an actual meeting none of it was real. We connected at some level though and when we did meet and I asked her why shhhhe had made that decision she said that there had been something about what I had said in my emails that made her feel that it was right. Neither of us was sure how it was going to work out but who can ever really be sure about that even with someone that they've known for years?

By all means be careful when you do this and don't go about telling people that you only know from the internet and perhaps a couple of phone calls that you are in love with them. You can develop genuine feelings for them nevertheless and it can be romantic. If it isn't romantic it isn't going anywhere anyway and it's only romantic if you think that it might be going somewhere.

Yes, you are probably in love with what you want them to be but what you want them to be may just be your girlfriend and you may be prepared to just accept everything else about them if they are prepared to accept you for who you are as well.
