Some believe that man is simply an accumulation of physical atoms,a material something, and a tangible body while some others believe that latent within him is a consciousness, a power, and a psychic nature which link him to all other members of the human family, and to a power outside himself which he must explain. The later believes in a "purpose" while the former believes that "things are what they seem and that it is not possible for men to get beyond the tangible".

They both can coexist and both are probably only a partial truth. This discussion has been going on since the beginning of man.

lol, we'll just call it a draw...

As you can probably tell I'm a science geek and I tend to keep up on new discoverys and technology. It's amazing what we as a race have learned in just the last 5 years.
Amen to both

Answering those kinds of questions have done great things for us a species, and will certainly do so for as long as we care to explore new things.

Anything other than a draw is unreasonable, the debate of ideas is the purpose.

and so I can try to claim I didn't purposefully try to derail the thread:

...Hilary's far from finished. Is she ultimately electable? Obama took more of the independants so I'd say he has the better chance based on the numbers so far, but that's only 3 states so time will tell.

Personally the rumors of Bloomberg running sound interesting, but would have to see what would come with that. Prefering financially conservative and socially liberal doesn't leave too many ideal & viable choices right now.
