DARWINISM...and am an ardent watcher of National Geographic..Discovery Science channels and ...i dont think that the Adam Eve story is "Origin of Life".....even remotely. So far not a single tuk of GURBANI has been found "Wanting/inadequate.....in this context. So I have no "fear/worries" on that aspect either.Calling a spade a spade can be interpreted as speaking the truth..or "ridiculing"..especially to the person on the receiving end....its simply that TRUTH never changes..humans do change/becoem apoligists/bend over backwards to accomodate obviously wrong beleifs in deference to the environment..living conditions etc ( IN Malaysia...even the word "pork..pig..etc is a BAD WORD..not used in "polite" conversations......our children are taught by the majority community that ..we abhor even the "word"...no pictures of the pig are to drawn even in a childs paintings......same thing in India..beef is a "bad word"..even though its got nothing to do w ith Gurbani/Gurmatt..a human may be killed..but heaven forbid if a cow is killed....so I understand the "pressures" of life in a christian environment....)...so lets agree to disagree here...The other day my younger brother was invited to give  atalk on Sikhism in the main church in Kuala Lumpur...His fiorst words were...You Christians beleive that there is GOD..and there is SATAN.  WE Sikhs beleive that there is GOD.In Sikhism SATAN is also GOD. Light is GOD..Darkness is also GOD..GOOD is GOD..EVIL is also GOD.....the church members had gaping mouths...until he brought it all together through Gurbani and LOGIC of GURMATT. ( the Christians invited him expecting some half baked ideas about amrit vela..amrit.. akhand paaths..sehaj paath..naam japp techniques..yoga postures etc etc etc etc THAT most sikhs today describe SIKHI to be !!!AND :happy: that they could hack holes in and say...you see our WAY is the Only .WAY...)A few Years back a Sikh family converted to christianity....and they wrote a Book on WHY we chose christianity ?? and you know what was their SIKHI?Their view of Sikhi was a "picture of Guru Teg Bahdur ji" hanging in the hall that they used to bow to daily....and when they converted....they were surprised that the "GURU" they had been bowing to daily..COULDNT DO A THING !!! Can you imagine such idiocracy???  THAT PICTURE was SIKHI !! in actual fact they had gone bankrupt..the church provided funds to rehabilitate them....and now they bow to Jesus...in reality they have just replaced a photo of Guru Teg bahadur ji with one of Jesus...when the next bankruptsy comes..they may just convert to Islam....Sorry if i digress...maafi.</blockquote>
