Does the Entity exist?

[Silvercry]

Her name is Rowling, not Rollings. But that's besides the point.

I stand corrected.  Thank you for point out my error.

Hey, did you all see that?  A mistake was made, it was then pointed out, and the correction was graciously accepted.  Better not let this get out, we might break the internet.

Yes, kazmaka. As big a shock as it might be to you, no one knows everything. Accept the knowledge, experience and opinions of others  with an open-mind, so each of us could at least come close to knowing everything!

Expanding upon what Silvercry said earlier:

Yeah, the Chrono Series is nothing but two (three) video games.  No one's asking you to modify your religious beliefs because of this game.  By the same token, you shouldn't believe something about the game because your own religion says so.  We're talking about what we believe to be true about the stories within the Chrono Series.  The series has nothing to do with your religion.  

I personally, believe in God, and that He is the only one.  That doesn't mean I'm gonna turn around and say, "Well, there's only one God, so that means there can't possibly be more than one god in Chrono Trigger, and don't tell me to believe otherwise."  People can correct me or gives me evidence against my beliefs on the GAME, and at the same time have the comments be completly separate about what I believe outside of the game.

And thanks to the intelligent conversations in this topic, after posting it originally, I have come to somewhat reverse my original opinion about the entity.

- That the planet's "dreams" have some kind of effect on what's going on, sometimes directly, more often indirectly.
- The entity doesn't explain the things we can't.

As opposed to my original one, which is tha the entity doesn't exist at all.

For works of Fiction, one must take the elements of the story within the context that it is Fiction.  I personally don't believe in evolution, yet that is apparent in these games, so within the context of the Chrono Series, evolution does work.  But it doesn't shake my views of the real world.  If you don't believe in God in the real world, yet it is apparent in the Chrono series, a God does exist within the context of the Chrono series.  It is fiction, take it as what it is.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION!?  Man.  I'm a diehard pro-evolutionist.  Have you ever taken a higher level bio class or anything that taught more than the universal misunderstandings about it (i.e. those posters showing man growing from an ape)?

I mean, you can't say natural selection isn't true (a huge part of evolution) you can see it in your own lifetime!

[DeweyisOverrated]

I believe in evolution, but you'd be surprised how well the anti-evolution arguments can hold up.  (I don't know waht you guys call yourselves, so forgive the "harsh" term).

For example, they brought up the point about whales.  Now, evolutionists would argue that whales evolved from dogs that lived byt he water for long periods of time.  Their "proof" is that a) whales have lungs, not gills and b) there's a "hip bone" where legs used to be attached to, but is now useless.  Anti-evolutionists argue that the "hipbone" wasn't for that at all, that really its a point for the large tail muscles to attach to for support.

There were tons of other really cool and interesting arguments, but I can't remember them.  Very, very, very interesting, though.

Save personal comments to each other in PMs...and/or save evolution comments in a seperate thread (I'm guessing General, but I suppose you could work it into the Chrono series...depending on how you go about it).

[Sentenal]

Lets not argue evolution here...

[Legend of the Past]

Yeah, it'll go on forever. Espcially with Kazmaza around.

[AuraTwilight]

"Ur both wrong! Life was created by Devolution! We were all super-ebolved Deities like the Zealiens unteel we fell from god and liek....turned into chimpanZ's. LOL"

[CatchRBFivy]

Good impression Aura, but your grammar was a little too precise for his style.

Yeah sorry to go off about evolution and get people started on that.

And dewey, the hip bone you're talkign about is called a vestige organ or a vestige body part.  Does anyone want to talk about this elsewhere?  Or does anyone just not care anymore?

And V_T I've seen evolution come up A LOT here.  It's usually about reptites, demi-humans, and FF interaction though.  Nothing like what our theories are.

[AuraTwilight]

Eh. I'm a professional novelist, sue me. It's hard to type like a n00b, it really is.

[Legend of the Past]

Eh. I'm a professional novelist, sue me. It's hard to type like a n00b, it really is.

Same here, and I completly agree.

[DeweyisOverrated]

I'm actually generally interested in evolution.  I'll gladly talk about it elsewhere outside of this thread.  However, like someone before me said, evolution isn't a pointless subject in terms of the Chono series, its actually a pretty big part of it.

Likewise. Well, not the novelist thing - I hope to be some day - but rather the care to write correctly. Although, thinking about it, I have been writing so ever since I first was a noob, so I never really was noobish, per say. I also have a certain wish to write a more formal style into what I write, so that aids me in it, though I think that may be slipping somewhat, and I'm becoming ever more colloquial in my speech.

By the way, a novelist? Aren't you only 15?

(Oh, and by the way... the devolution comment was really quite funny.)
