@ShanoirII, I don't intend to start an evolution/creation war as not only is the question not definitively answerable, but falls outside the scope of this thread's topic (I tend towards believing more in evolution myself) but, were you alive for the hundreds of millennia in which evolution took place? If not (and I have a hunch you haven't), there is no definitive possible way to know
for certain that evolution took place and wasn't just a backstory fabricated when this world was created. On the flipside, I also recognize a belief in creation is just that,
a belief, since it's exceedingly unlikely you're going to come across anyone who has lived long enough to tell the truth. And that evolution is more grounded in scientific reality than the creation theory according to our current knowledge. Nonetheless, each theory documents events that happened outside of our direct perception. So they remain just that,
theories. We may never know which theory is true as there is a low likelihood of a legitimate confirmation from anybody, and that's okay. But until the day comes when we can be certain about the matter, if it ever comes, all that's left are
beliefs.
On a more lighthearted note:
@Kristy, totally agree with you about people who knock but then proceed to bust the door in with no response. That's just pure uncourteous practice. But when the other person says "Yes?", that's more of a grey area - many likely intend that to mean "come on in" and as such many people probably take it to mean such though (the people who do probably also answer "Yes?" to a door knock to signify they're okay with someone coming in). I do agree it's less clear than "Come in", but...... it just takes less effort
So most people probably just say "yes" instead. Good to keep in mind for the future though, although I'll most definitely forget this conversation next time someone has to knock at my door for anything as it doesn't happen very often, and I'm a rather private person anyway so when someone I know has to knock that typically means "don't come in unless granted explicit consent" lol. Which is how my parents ask to come in if I'm in the "shower" and I'm in a bathroom that has no lock...... this is likely why I haven't been caught fapping yet
Guess it's about time I contributed something to this thread...... I suppose I don't so much despise it as find it hilarious when people confuse the usages of "your" and "you're". I've seen it a few times on this forum already and it's gonna be rather common on the Internet anyhow given its informal nature. Something else I notice is the far more common usage of "ur" in place of "you're", even though "ur" is a shortened form of "your" and thus would be misused. Though people that use that shortening are obviously writing informally and already don't give enough of a shit to spell it out in its complete form so it matters not at all honestly.
