@Aisling (Baiscally every shop where they sell such kind of candy)

@CountDracula

"I think that it is time to go home. I think that Fiona should lay down for a while. I am sure that she will be fine before morning. I will be thinking up a routine for you and get you some cages of some kind for your candy. Perhaps bird cages for the frogs. An Ant farm for the ants..... I'll make notes of what kind of candies when we get home.
loan, is there a sunny place for us to rest in? Maybe enough room that it could hold all of us? A conservatory would be perfect." Mystique asked with a wink and a smile.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "We do have one at the castle," Ioan answered.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula
"Let's check it out when we get back. How does that sound to you two? I think that I could find something for us to do there." Mystique smiled.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "I can show it to you," Ioan said.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"Wonderful! Shall we go then? I bought a few things for us. You may join us, loan. You might even enjoy this activity. By the way, loan... are there any plants in the conservatory?" she asked as she stood up with Fiona in her arms.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Vladislaus has got an altar there," Ioan answered. "With a Buddha and plants and oblation and candles."

"But I'm sure Vlad won't mind it if we build a second one if that's necessary," he added via telepathy.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"What is oblation?" Mystique asked.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "It's when you offer something to a god or a holy or high person," Ioan answered. "Usually, it is food and water."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I see.... There is a lot to learn yet about Buddhism. Are you a Buddhist as well, loan?

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Ioan shook his head. "I'm an atheist. Only Vladislaus is a Buddhist."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I am a Creationist. What about Count Dracula?

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "He's an atheist as well," Ioan answered. "Just like Toma. We believe in science and not in non-evidence based things... no means to offend you, but there's just no proof at all for creationism to be right, while there is quite a lot of evidence for the big bang and evolution."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I just can't see me being related to a monkey or some one cell creature. Maybe when I understand more of the Universe, I'll change my mind. I will say that it is comforting to me that there is someone who is more in control than I am. I am not a control type person. Not that I want someone to tell me what to do all of the time but someone who would guide me.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Oh, believe me," Ioan said. "You don't need a god for that."
He looked at the sky, that was beginning to become dark. "And the evidence is right above you at the moment. If a lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year and we can see objects that are almost 14 billion lightyears away from us, the universe can't have been created some 6,000 years ago, as conventional creationism suggests. Otherwise, the light of those objects wouldn't have reached us yet. And if the universe had existed eternally, the sky would be glowing, since the light of every single object in the universe would have reached us already.
Also, there's something that is called 'cosmic redshift'. That term describes that the further away a galaxy is, the more reddish it is. That means that those galaxies are moving away from us in every direction that we look, which means that at one point in time, the mass of the entire universe must have been concentrated in one spot.
For some reason, this concentrated mass began to expand, which we call the big bang. But nobody knows what exactly caused the big bang. So, there's still plenty of room for God. He might still have created the universe. Just not like in the Bible. If he exists, he probably pressed a 'go' button, so to say."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I have no one to guide me except God. Everything changes. How many calendars have we had over the centuries? The French wanted a 10 day week. Why aren't there more big bangs that created beings?

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "There probably were more big bangs," Ioan answered. "Just not inside our universe. - Everything that we know is inside this universe. Space, matter, living creatures, energy, even time. And this universe had its beginnings with the big bang. Nobody knows what was before that, and there is no way of finding that out.
Our universe probably isn't infinite, which means that there are things outside the universe. Parallel universes probably, and all of them began at their own big bangs.
But the big bang - I mean, 'our' big bang - didn't directly create life. That happened much, much later. The big bang just gave the basics for life, so to say.
A short time after the big bang, there was nothing but hot plasma. This plasma became the first atoms, helium and hydrogen atoms. Those atoms formed more complex structures, like stars. All the other elements were created inside those stars and were set free in supernovae. - A supernova is the end of a star that has a certain mass."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

Quite interesting actually. How long was it before life was form and how was it formed? Mystique was thinking about how her life would change if she changed her beliefs.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "We can only estimate that, but according to estimations, life formed about 3.8 million years ago," Ioan answered. "Well, life on Earth, we should better say."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

That is much longer than what I thought..... is that 3.8 million years for humans?
