I’m going to try and explain the nonexistence of time (and coincidentally the nonexistence of motion) in simple terms. Once again time does not exist. It is simply our mind applying an understandable framework to the progression of our consciousness through a series of static, overlapping, and simultaneously coexisting, multidimensional universes. The progression of our consciousness occurs in a linear, contiguous, and continuous fashion. And thus if it is not real, it cannot exist.

Have i been asleep on the progress of this research topic, or is this something truly new? And is this valid stuff? http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,5022003-111414,00.html stephen

Nothing is true indeed.
Thus, if it ain’t real, it don’t exist.

If you like Boyer, Atran & Sperber are very similar. Their basic thesis is that religion is a complex multivariable phenom. They tend to lean toward it being a byproduct of the interaction & interplay between our cognitive domains, in other words, it is not a direct adaptation. If people are interested, you can find the papers of these three thinkers at the links below: Atran Boyer Sperber (the suspicision many people have that "religiosity" is a phenotype that exists on a normal distribution suggests many independent factors, like its a polygenic trait)

When we are children we learn to play with toys. But when we become men we learn to give up what was never real.
Nothing–Nothing in this world is true. But we must learn how to bless it.

Theory is a waste of time; there is much work to do.

Whell, i beat you on the calendar, Carl, but that’s about all. Mine’s in Amazon.

Hamer asks all the right questions, but has no qualms about providing answers on skimpy evidence. In one sense, that’s a pity since many will be diverted from taking further steps in researching this issue.

I still think Pascal Boyer has come as close as anybody up to this point.

Ahhh, but the money is to be made now, before the crash and burn.
