***ual reproduction came quite late on in evolution (and its progress is

Was it wrong to choose to eat meat? In the Garden of Eden there was no
death, and hence no meat eating. Are you a vegetarian? Do you know who

What does it mean to "experience eternal life" as you have put it?

Not true. Evolution is science, religion is not. If some have turned it
