Therefore, it isn't a very far reach to believe in the existence of an invisible domain most religions call heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Judeo/Christian dogma Yeshua the Christus decreed the human experience responsible for his creation. He further went on to declare that the result of that creation would be our eternal inheritence. How we determine our (eternal future) is strictly up to us. However, we can not do it alone, and we have to depend on each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nano technology appears to be the next quantum leap in our evolutionary spiral upwards. The double helix with its offshoot technology of embyo/adult stem cell research and results will become as obsolete as the model-t car is to the space shuttle. Our future acheivements with nano research will exponentially thrust evolution forward thus making the metaphysical a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even God likes to see a good plan come together.  For those non-beleivers (If there were no god, atheist would not exist).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;Reason from your own experience, not others and don’t torture your brain with desperate attempts to explain existence by explaining it away. The only residues of existence are memories (earthly or heavenly) so, let them guide you and build upon them. Remember, these are the tools that you will use for eternity. (That’s a long time).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T-Dad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8743471-109816147012844790?l=carpidiem.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carpidiem.blogspot.com/feeds/109816147012844790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8743471&amp;postID=109816147012844790' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8743471/posts/default/109816147012844790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8743471/posts/default/109816147012844790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carpidiem.blogspot.com/2004/10/why-do-we-exist.html' title='Why do we exist?'/><author><name>T-Dad</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11316908374037102014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05859713391158527410'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743471.post-109811897455630320</id><published>2004-10-18T11:58:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-10-18T12:13:32.043-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Our Roots</title><content type='html'>America, is "the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed." That creed is that all men/women are created equal. "There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man/woman." Thus, America is necessarily a religious nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is comprised mostly of rejects, of people who were thrown out or let go or escaped or disappeared from someplace else. In spite of such questionable pedigree, it is a land of great patriotic pride. It has always thought it important to imbue this patriotism, to Americanize every immigrant who has come here to make a new beginning. But it is a strange sort of patriotism that cannot define itself. And now the question is haunting us as we debate the virtues and vices of immigration, illegal or not, without ever having asked ourselves, What makes America, American? Most of us share very little common heritage. Most of us have had to adopt this nation's history. Most of us are the descendants of immigrants, some more recent than others. The present culture has no permanent glue to bind us; it can hardly be called a common culture. Just because we have to buy the same things does not mean we treasure the same things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The admirable creed about equality remains the ideal that most every American believes in spite of the innumerable ways he fosters inequality in his support of the economic system, the political system, the educational system, and, most of all, that bizarre system of news and entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;Free men/women worldwide, that share in the wonderful gift of equality, have the obligation to spread this freedom and root out the evil that discourages it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T-Dad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8743471-109811897455630320?l=carpidiem.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carpidiem.blogspot.com/feeds/109811897455630320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8743471&amp;postID=109811897455630320' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8743471/posts/default/109811897455630320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8743471/posts/default/109811897455630320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carpidiem.blogspot.com/2004/10/our-roots.html' title='Our Roots'/><author><name>T-Dad</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11316908374037102014</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05859713391158527410'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743471.post-109790674826706882</id><published>2004-10-16T00:47:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-10-16T01:05:48.266-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Total Abortion</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"I might inform those humanitarians who have a nightmare of new            and needless babies (for some humanitarians have that sort of horror            of humanity) that if the recent decline in the birth-rate were continued            for a certain time, it might end in there being no babies at all; which            would console them very much." &lt;i&gt;(ILN 5-24-30)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;When newborn babies are aborted the future tax base decreases.
