If you actually read the source I posted, you would know. However, I will state it again: "Today many astronomers favor a hybrid of the capture and fission themes. This idea -- often called the impact theory -- postulates a collision by a large, Mars-sized object with a youthful and molten Earth." This is stuff straight from the mouths of practicing, PhD-certified Astronomers ... not your brother. But, as I've said, you don't even read anything I write. You just jabber on and on with the same stuff you always say. Animals running from a predator is a survival instinct. Instinct is much different from conscious awareness. I asked you to show me the proof that elephants possess this kind (the consciously aware kind) of knowledge regarding their own mortality, and specifically said "not on the instinctual level." It is for these reasons that I said I was going to stop arguing with you. I just end up repeating myself over and over again, because you pretend (and I'm giving you credit, here) to not have listened to anything I have said. I'm wasting my time.

well for one my brother got his info from a astronomer with a phD
first hand. and even though i live in a small town. there are a lot of astronomers here from all over the world. as we have the largest radio telescopes in the southern hemisphere.
and ya instinct might tell the animal which animal to run from. but does it tell the animal why?
does the wilderbeast ever stop and think "hey i know i have to run from this lion, but WHy do i run from this lion" hmmmmmm? does it ever stop to see why it is running?

that's a bit hypocritical don't you think? you don't believe in something yet you want to use someone else's belief in that, to make them change their way ofthinking about something so disgusing and unnatural? hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
and nah i dont have to worry. i'm a catholic. we aren't perfect............just forgiven
