lets be mature here just explain how you believe the world came to be and well....weed where did it come from and why is it here? was it created, evolved, planted by space aliens, really what do you think?

My personal belief is that God Created through evolution.

I believe he said let there be light earth etc, and it happened through evolution

As far as weed, I believe like most plants they evolved from other plants adapting to their environment.

I think there is some confusion in which people think that as god said "let there be", that it was instantaneous.

Just my thoughts

Trying to get this thread started

First of all "God" is only a word, a sound, or vocal vibration.

Personally I believe the Universe has always existed in some form or another. The problem human minds run into when thinking about "creation" and our origins is the concepts of time! Time is very tricky...as it is subjective in nature...AND it is well known that time is relative to our own personal experience when we smoke cannabis. So, an eternal universe is rather hard to fathom from our perspective. We cannot know at this moment in the game exactly how or why the universe created us (abiogenesis) but we know that homo sapiens and all life are most definitely a product of evolution.

I will not try to use my words because i will fail,but if you have some time and a open mind,here are a couple articles that will speak for me.

Man is everyone still reading,or do i know how to kill a thread.Sorry Highclub,did not mean for that to happen.OPH

yeah....they're really long. what are the basics of the philosophy?

Hiscore,if i tried to give you the basics it would be longer than the links.I would end up butchering what the peice is trying to say.I do not expect anyone to read them all,just pick one and have a go.OPH

To answer the title, I believe in evolution, I dont believe in creation. As for how the world came to be, well, I dont know off hand, but I'm sure I would accept whatever the common scientific concensus is at the moment.

As for weed, it came about like every other living I suppose. Initially from some primitive form of life, which evolved over the course of millions of years. There is no why.

The chance that higher life forms might have emerged through evolution is comparable with the chance that a 'tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a flyable Boeing 747 from the materials therein, or that an explosion in a print shop created the entire unabridged encyclopedia britannica".
I simply cannot accept that life appeared in a void of lifelessness and that the complexities of this world are the result of random chance.
My opinion only.
