Hey Pandas, Do You Believe In The Spiritual Power Of Crystals?
Someone once asked: if you toss 100 Lego pieces into the Pacific Ocean, how long would it take for them to assemble themselves into a complete structure? The answer is—never. The probability is essentially zero. That’s why, when people claim that humans evolved purely by chance, I struggle to believe it. Living organisms are vastly more complex than Lego bricks, so I can’t help but think that some form of intelligence or design must be behind life itself.

1. No.
2. What does 'spiritual' mean in this context?
3. Your oversimplification about lego is contradicted by decades of research into the origins of life, showing just how it may have developed from the chemicals and other conditions that existed over millions of years.

I don't think crystals or stones have a physical effect on you, but psychologically I think they can. For me anyway. If I'm wearing my amethyst necklace it reminds me to calm down if I'm feeling overwhelmed. Or my citrine bracelet reminds me to be positive and push through. But I don't believe there is some spiritual power within the crystals. I'm confused about the legos thing though.

Never in my life till this happend:
I've been car sick all my life had the most outragous amount of things tried but my caravanning holidays always started with an bowl on my knees. Speeding up going into my twenties went with a friend to a very big crystal shop, for him not for me. Carsick as hell I walked in. The owner saw me being pale told me just walk around. I really don't like the colour pink ended up seeing the same pink stone everywhere in the shop and the owner gave him for free. Car sickness was gone till this day. After a year or so I lost the stone who I had in my pocket every day, till this day I can't believe it helped me.

Evolution wasn’t chance. Stuff mutates, and the good mutations stick (because those organisms live long enough to have children, and the ones with unhelpful mutations don’t)

Nope. I do put some store in mind over matter however; if you believe it will heal you, you're halfway to it working, so in a sense it may have a psychosomatic effect. As for evolution - billions of years gives rise to a lot of random occurrences, and the successful ones survive. If the design were intelligent, why is organic life so horrible for so many? Why do we have cancer and carnivores, parasites and mental health problems? Why does it take a woman 20 minutes to achieve what a man can in 2 minutes (and we can, ladies - any longer than that, you should appreciate the effort :) ? Gods are man-made, not the other way round.
