Wha?,Apr 24 2004, 11:00 PM Wrote:::PostScript::I was just saying monkey's because of the previous post. Personally I'm agnostic. But I do lean more towards the atheist side of things. I can accept people's beliefs as long as they accept mine but what I don't understand is those who don't see the concept of evolution in human's. If evolution is a plausible fact for most then why is it that they cannot accept it for humans. I know the whole Adam and Eve thing, but what we have to realize is that humans like all other creatures are still just animals. The world was not created for us, we took it over. 'God' did not create us to give us the power to rule over all of the other creatures of the sea, land and air. We are from those of the sea which became those of the land and air. It just doesn't make sense to me that everything on this planet was brought to life through evolution whereas humans were just created from the dirt of the earth. . .and the rib of another. Believe what you will and more power to you, but think about your bone structure, mannerisms, bodily features and things of that nature before disregarding the fact that we are just a step in evolution and that there is many more steps to come...assuming of course that we don't kill the earth before we can advance.
Technically Homo sapiens sapiens descended from apes, not monkeys.
Many people believe that the next step in our evolution is spiritual or mental, and I'm on that train. Listen to and think about the song and concept of 46&2 by Tool. I'm not using this as my basis or reason of believing such, merely as a reference. Human's of present day consist of 44 and 2 chromosomes, it is believed that the next step in evolution is to reach 46 and 2.
Quote:"There are three totally different kinds of humans on the Earth, meaning that they perceive the One reality in three different ways, interpreted differently. The first kind of human has a chromosome composition of 42+2. They comprise a unity consciousness that does not see anything outside themselves as being separate from themselves. To them, there is only one energy - one life, one beingness that moves everywhere. Anything happening anywhere is within them, as well. They are like cells in the body. They are all connected to a single consciousness that moves through all of them. These are the aboriginals in Australia. There might be a few African tribes left like this. Then, there is our level, comprising 44+2 chromosomes. We are a disharmonic level of consciousness that is used as a steppingstone from the 42+2 level to the next level, 46+2...These two additional chromosomes change everything."
