Last Sunday back in Amsterdam, I received a very special gift. I was allowed to taken some pieces out of a rather big collection of all kind of stones and fossils. I always had a special interest for fossils, so I carefully took some fossils.
As the title of the posting says, fossils are witnesses from the past. I do understand the theory how fossils were created, but yet I find it so amazing that these once were living animals and plants.
I know that many religions have all kind of explanations for the fact that fossils exist. But when I hold carefully a fossils in my hands, I feel I hold the proof of the Evolution Theory.
At home I have a very beautiful fossil of a fern. This fossil and the ones I got last Friday will find a special place when I have found a new home in here in North Holland.
I think it is outrageous that someone publicly dares to deny that we are all Gods Children and that all is His creation.
You will face your destiny in the end.
Well Shaun, first of all, this is my weblog and my rules go here. It is up to me to decide what can be written here and what not.
But what is more important that is kinda sad, that I as atheist respect that others do believe and have other opinions and believes as I do, but that it are very often religious people who deny me the right to be different and have other opinion.
The world would be a better place if everyone could have this kind of respect for others, accept that people can be different and allow them to live their lives as they wish themselves.
Having said that, let me assure you that I demand everyone who writes here to treat others here with kindness and respect.
Rob.
Indeed very beautiful pictures…. and yes, I agree with the statement you make here above
I would even like to put it more clear. I don’t want someones “god” dictate who I should life, as I am not dictating how someones else should live. Live and let live!
And yes Rob, those pictures are awesome!
Hi Rob
awesome Pictures. Very cool fossil.
@Shaun: I find it a crime using your god as the answer for all. And using his name to scare the hell out of people so that they could be nice sheep in the flock.
haha shaun…. sheep… shaun the LOL
