I read a thing somewhere where someone suggested that we are backwards and should start out really old and then get younger.
If you started old you'd be bald and in diapers and unable to walk? So then your hair would grow back you'd gain bowel and bladder control and learn to walk?

I saw a blue haired old lady the other day but it was navy blue.
Wasn't my gran. :)

Just think, though. It'd make a really cool horror show: really decrepit and horrid-looking things popping outta graves and wandering about, slowly getting better and better looking (except in the odd case where no change would make a diff). Limbs reattaching, cancers dying off, etc.

I've seen a baby come out of the womb but it would really be interesting to see one try to get back in.

2 pages later and you are still nitpicking about "I commonly understand"? Jeeeez. :roll:
Perhaps if you'd take a synonym of "commonly" and replace "commonly" with the synonym, you might understand the phrase:
like "I regularly understand", "I frequently understand", "I generally understand", or "I normally understand". Okay? All better now?

Excellent, Anna- my 9 year old grand daughter could commonly understand that explanation. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Isn't that an old joke? Men are all born from the womb, and spend their adult lives trying to get back in....
Perhaps.....

It's kinda like going to other planets. The smart thing to do is send in a few probes to make sure it's safe first.

Soundclips from Star Trek, the first two were a computer voice saying "Unable to comply" and "Arm photons. Attack" or something like that.
The last one was computer voice saying "autodestruct sequence initiated" kind of like CHinese parts without the computer warning.

We are not even. As I have mentioned before, burden of proof is not upon me, it is upon you to prove that soul exists.

Only one side has the burden of proof. Let us take my claim that there is a two storey house on the moon made of gingerbread and Swiss cheese. You cannot disprove that claim, I cannot prove it. Does that mean that we are even, that the statement is as likely to be true as it is likely to be false?

Nothing of the sort. Until I prove it to be true, the statement is regarded as being false. It is the same thing with existence of soul. Until you prove that it exists, the default position is that it does not exist.
The soul exists!

Spirituality. Now there is something I can support and also encourage wholly when performed and practised privately or public without the imposition or higher esteem of one sense of spirituality over another.
