Take a Memo:
I thought I was full of soul. Now you say I'm full of malarkey?. Lol.
Haven't you heard? There's no such thing as souls!
Yes, you're full of malarkey, as your last post demonstrated. We didn't climb down out of the trees because the trees went away-- because the monkeys are still in the trees. Some of them went extinct but that's because they failed to adapt. Our saving grace... pardon the pun... was our ability to spiritually connect with something greater than self. We were inspired by something beyond ourselves, just like when we harnessed fire. Our myriad of remarkable achievements as humans all stem from our ability to be inspired by something greater than self. And this is the pattern of the human experience all the way down to Carl Sagan and Albert Einstein.
