Hello all, New Here.

[GhostSlug]

Hello everybody! I know all of you know my husband BananaSlug. The past few weeks it seemed that he spent all of his time on this forum talking about evolution. Until recently I didn't know what all the hype was about until I read a few threads by the resident creationists. The post about the angels living in stars made me decide to sign up so I can discuss these intriguing beliefs that people have. I'm a sucker for fairy tales.
Honestly, I don't know much about evolution other than what I've learned from my husband. Please be patient with me if I ask a lot of questions (that is how we learn after all). I'm glad to be here!

Welcome to the forum, Ms Slug. It's a good place to learn a bit about evolution, geology, chemistry, biology, paleontology and a few other ologies - even a bit of physics, There are some really well informed people here. And I'll add, the creationists are decent fellas for the most part - just a little out there on the far edge of the belief spectrum (at least they would be in my country). Hope you enjoy our company!

I guess I'm the one that started those intriguing beliefs, and you may fire away with questions whenever you're ready. I'll do my best to answer.

Please keep in mind that the answers may not necessarily be the views expressed by other Christians, but, nonetheless, I'll give you my opinion.

I got that information from the following book --- a very good read:

Thanks for the help AV. My husband says that you are very nice guy even though he thinks some of the things you say are a little on the crazy side. But hey, we all say crazy things.

And just to get your first thread started off with a bang, here's a video I just watched that I hope a couple biologists and chemists might comment on.

That was awesome! BananaSlug and I just watched it and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. EVERYTHING EATS! That's how we grow. We've seen his other videos on youtube and they are very good as well.

[Tinker Grey]

Welcome, GhostSlug.

 

[AV1611VET]

Oh dear.... AV say it aint so! Divination?

It ain't so.

 

[Morcova]

It ain't so.

So that wasn't a book about the zodiac which is used in divination?

Welcome from Wales, the land of the ghost slug

Unknown to science before 2006, the mysterious ghost slug (Selenochlamys ysbrada) was first discovered in a Caerphilly Lane.
A Cardiff gardener found another specimen a year later. Other examples have been found around Swansea.
The ghost slug is carniverous and nocturnal, sucking earthworms into its body with blade-like teeth. Although similar species exist in eastern Europe, the Welsh examlpes have been classified as a wholly new species, being given the name ysbryda from the Welsh for ghost.
The ancestor individuals' route to Wales can only be speculated on, but Bill Symondson of Cardiff University believes they may have come in on pot plants.
Spending most of its time underground, it squeezes its flexible body into cracks or tunnels to get at earthworms, which it detects by smell or taste.
The slug population is being monitored in case it becomes a pest species.

It calls it what Job called it --- Mazzaroth.

I don't steal. I shop in a proletarian fashion. I also don't murder, I just curtail the life span of an individual without his or her conscious consent.

Because calling the same practice by a different name completely alters the practice.

Do you also call Astronomy, "Astrology"?

 

[Cabal]

Should probably start a new thread on the astrology thing, people, this is a welcome thread!

Anyway, welcome to the boards Ghostslug!

 

[Tomk80]

Do you also call Astronomy, "Astrology"?

No, but they are actually different practices. You haven't made that point.

That's nice, the Indians call it Jyotisa. It's still astrology and it's still divinination.

And you haven't read the book, either --- believe me, you're wrong.
