@mauriceg : Yes I think that’s what Stephen Hawking meant that all the chemical elements cooked in the core of the stars (which then explodes) is finally combined (on earth surface or whatever) and then slowly turned to become a living chemical scum called human.

How did the first living cell formed ? I heard that nobody knows until now due to it’s hyper-improbability that it can happen by random process only. Even Richard Dawkins assumed that an alien/UFO must have been dropped it somewhere once upon a time in the past.

@padt,

You made my point. For the follower of Hawking and of that ilk, basically human life is absurd.. why going to the moon …? … Why raising a family ? .. coz eventually the universe will become dead, dark and cold after all it’s energy being used up … and that’s it… no more life … finish ..

Even every time we took a breath, there is a question why I did it ??…

Btw, your story about a piece of colored tile on the execution chamber is quite inspiring …

Hi nonredneck: that’s fine if you think that you won’t learn anything new from me.

Despite all of your adventures around the world, may be here you have find something really contrast to your paradigm and really hard for you to accept it. What I’ve done so far was only questioning your positions on some issues and offered my positions to challenge it.

I think so far I’ve been able to refrain myself from throwing harsh words during this “debate” coz according to the “debate organizer” from The Jakarta Globe, every harsh words thrown by the contestants will be considered a minus point so at the end it will be affecting the “contestant’s” total score

Hundreds of people from various radical groups launched a search on Sunday to find the location of the Yasmin church congregation’s service and prevent them from worshiping. The groups even went to the home of one of the worshipers.

Protesters from the Indonesian Muslim Communication Forum (Forkami) and the Islamic Reform Movement (Garis) surrounded the home where the service was held on Jalan Cempaka no. 10, Taman Yasmin complex in Bogor.

“It crosses the line now. The protesters now come to the residential area, which is not a public place,” politician Lily Wahid, the sister of late president Abdurrahman Wahid, said at the scene.

Police were present to safeguard the house, but the worshipers were unable to leave the home because the mob blocked their way out.

The GKI Yasmin church has been illegally sealed off by the city administration on the pretext that the congregation doctored a petition needed to obtain a building permit.

The congregation has since 2008 been forced to hold Sunday services on the sidewalk outside the church and now in the home of parishioners.
