LOL!!!!
Yeah except when "punctuated equilibrium" doesn't work.
It's too bad ANYBODY argues about these matters because there is absolutely no convincing proof of evolution or creation, and there are plenty of reasons to doubt both. Augustine's "packet" theory is my favorite belief system in this case.

the posts by pekka are nearly unintelligible.. i've really no idea what is trying to be communicated.
as always, one should make allowance for people that don't use English as a native or first language... but, i'm afraid that most the postings are beyond my algebraic ability.

The problem is his arguements. They are built entirly on Strawman and ad hominem. No where does he give any evidence to back up his claim. All he's doing is railing against Darwin the person with very dubious character attacks. No where does he show that his claims have any effect on the validity of evolution.
Thus is the usual pattern with people who don't know enough about biology to be able to argue it effectively.

hehe... i wasn't sure if that was just me... misreading the posts and the intent therein... glad to see i'm not completely deranged yet 
and really... the question is moot. who cares what he did.. that in no way impunes his intial theory... and, if i'm not mistaken, most folks are neo-darwinists these days... if they even use such a label for themselves...

Don´t any afraid as for me you can to speak frankly as I always have been done.
Therefore christian secreterian and everyone kick me out of speaking to peoples because they find immediately that I m accustomed to speaking peoples and
telling how to get to heaven.
To tellling in enlish succest of me by mout but so many mistakes.
I have some friends of budda´s "servant" but we newer quarrel with each others.
I m "fanatic lutheran" but I have got a lot of pain for my big mouth.
I m not so yang anymore that mean I understand other peoples.
But jehowa witness they are not welcomed to tease me but if they came
you can guess what a strong older boy who´s a hobby is powerliftning will do
to evil person?
I m thankful to you for your interesting answer and I hope you all the best
and your relatives.
Regards to you.

thank you for the post.
i'm not sure what you mean by the term "slaves" however, it generally has a negative connotation in english. did you mean "followers"?
it's possible that you did mean slaves... in which case, i shall simply say that you are incorrect.
by the by... the Buddha didn't try to buy anything in heaven nor was he interested in going there... to any version of heaven for that matter.

Well, "convincing" is a pretty subjective term, but personally I find common retro-viral insertions and the ape/human chromosomal fusion extremely convincing evidence of common descent.

Namaste rad,
first things first...
Ryoko is a Zen Buddhist.. this has implications towards the cosomology that he understands. the story was related from the Jakata Tales which are part of the Pali Canon, i.e. Hinyana Buddhism.
in any event, the Jakata tales are a recounting of all the Buddhas past lives, even the ones that he spent in hell.
as we stated earlier, there are two main views that a Buddhist has towards hell or heaven.. that of a continuum of consciousness where these places are more analgous to states of mind; and that of actual destinations where one spends some amount of time before being reborn.
the view that one takes on these things is directly related to the school of Buddhism that one practices.
hope that helps clear it up a bit.
