Or that the evolution pressure on the different planets were high enough.... For example, the giant panda here on Earth is a problematic abnormality: its digestive system is one of carnivorous bears, but it eats only plants (>99%bamboo) [ 1 ], despite having lived in bamboo forests for millions of y...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

@Turrosh Mak:
I did understand it as such. But I remembered I saw a Chibi-labelled picture somewhere, so I looked it up and linked it....
Nothing more to that.

And I am looking forward at the backstories to be told.

How many chapters will Outsider have, approximately?

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

It was mentioned that most of the crew assigned to strike groups were allowed to mate/have children before going on assignment. Will we ever see pictures of the main cast's children? Chibi Beryl/Fireblade/Tempo/Ashrain would be so cute. I don't know why they turn out greenish but I found one impres...

Re: Religious Discussion

Communist governments killed just how many millions, tens of millions, estimates as high as 120 million or more of their own citizens through one means or another in the last century? Hardly say they put themselves out as representative of faith. Much the opposite. Communist doctrine, Marxist doctr...

Re: Religious Discussion

@Grayhome: Your belief is that the bible as a whole is false. That is your belief and you defend it with vehemence. I don't share that belief, nor do I believe that the bible is "the truth". The bible is a collection of stories, many of them about morale, and how you should behave. You can learn fro...

Oh, another one: http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/images/thekiss04.jpg Well, let the speculations begin! Is Alex hallucinating? (Then why does he look so surprised?) Is it a mental image sent by Tempo to get a reaction from Beryl? Is it a mental image that leaked from Beryl? Is this the gist of a r...

Re: Religious Discussion

I love Karst45's avatar in this thread... Anyway, there is something in the bible (and in the Torah) that changed human behaviour: God gave us a free will, and we will be judged by what we do/did. Beforehand, God(s) had everything predetermined, and we were doing the will of the Gods. We were not re...

To me she does not look like Shoe Girl. Very similar, yes, but her head posture is different. ( page 42 ) But when rereading though the comic it inded looks like Shoe Girl accompanied them through the lift ride and all passages to the bridge. And she seems to be stationed at the bridge as adjutant t...

I don't know. But it would be very lucky if all three sister worlds evolved in the same direction.

Anyway, a lot of my initial concerns in this direction have been eliminated by your answers.
Thank you.

Now we get a tad more context: http://well-of-souls.com/temp/page105_1a.jpg I would love to listen into the telepathic conversation between Tempo and our favourite Listel... Can the NSA tap that yet?

But Humanity did not exist 275k years ago. Even non-biologist can see the difference from Homo xyz of that time to todays Homo Sapiens. And there are notable differences from the first Homo Sapiens 200k years ago to today's Homo Sapiens. Heck, archaeologists can even differentiate between an ancient...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread

One last comment, please. The bible, old testament (leviticus, the main "negative part about slavery in the bible), is pre-Christian. The new testament is what differs Christianity from the old testament, which is included in the bible for historic reasons, and still holds value where the new testa...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread

Most Amish sects support the "rumspringa" time for their youth. You have to obey certain rules while you're "jumping around", otherwise you cannot return (so do nothing that can put you in jail, no tatoos), but otherwise they will turn a blind eye to most things you did during that time, if they get...
