Agreed. And if "understanding the universe" were possible, what comes with it? Self-destruction. (In the wrong hands. We all know the type) Then the cycle starts over. That is what happens when you try to play "god". Free will will bring the death of us regardless.
it takes millions upon millions of years for a species to evolve to the point where it is now considered an entirely new species. Homo sapiens have not been around for millions upon millions of years. that is all, thank you also, i agree with the guy who said we have not adapted because we change the environment to adapt to us, not the other way around.
But changing your environment also causes you to evolve... ie. race/ethnicity. Otherwise, nice post. Thanks for your contribution! Ultimately, this environment change to digital only evolves our minds, which causes us to believe materialism is important. To me, nature is much more important than self-absorbtion (thinking we need certain things to make us happy).
No your wrong. If you just took a 9th grade biology class you would know that humans have almost completely stopped evolving ( physical body evolutions such as loss of hair and or in this case turning into a new species. ) and our brains are the things evolving. That is why we went from the stone age and such to now. Its no longer the age of brute force its the age of the brain. Im sure if we live long enough there will be some physical changes but me you and our grandkids grandkids probbably wont see it.
So now there is no evolution? I suppose every other species has stopped evolving also? My point is, if we evolved from another species, why is that species still here? I agree we don't really evolve that much, however if our school books quit brain washing us, don't you think we'd realise its always been this way?
we are human beings. we have brains........ big ones. we have no need for body evolution.. but our brains, those have evolved in leaps and bounds. because of that, people have ceased to need their bodies more and more. waay back when the world was still being built into a civilization by us, there were many more strong people who did labor all day. now we have evolved into working smarter and not harder. thats my baked 2 cents.
We have obese people, skinny people, buff people, all kinds of races/ethnicities, yet we are still ALL humans?
Our ancestors evolved to survive, while other species of apes(perhaps in different environments/conditions) did not need to evolve at that time
What kind of materialism are you talking about, like our minds evolve and so does our science which takes materialism at its heart or materialism strictly in the sense of liking material objects in ones life? Isn't nature then responsible also for our "materialistic" beliefs seeing as every material we would want comes from nature? What species did we evolve from that is still kicking rocks? Horrible school books comin round here brainswashin us n stuff!
What caused the evolution if they didn't need it? Are you saying humans cannot live where the ancestors live, because they will de-evolve back to there ancestors?
I'm not sure heh, but it is likely a species would evolve mostly, if not solely because of environment. We and the apes we have today both evolved from the same ancestors And I don't really think there is such a thing as "de-evolution" since as far as we know, all evolution is progressing and never regressing into something less fit for its environment
OK.. I respect your answer.. I agree though.. I think they all evolved from our higher power (nature/"god"). Maybe consider it an experiment with DNA, until he found the perfect species (humans ) This is just my belief though.. I do think our species evolve according to environment, but I don't think that separates species. How can monkeys/humans live in completely different environments without separating into other species?
I think everyone should read this book, and others by Richard Dawkins. IT explains why evolution pretty much has to be the real deal.
NO!. Only fuckign humans. No other species is able to effectively change the environment around them to not need evolution. Your creationists dont have a smidge of intelligence. And the species we evolved from arent still here. Each and every one of them are extinct. Learn your facts and for christs sake ( no pun intented ) read a book.
But where did all other species come from then? Again, if it all stems from one, wouldn't there in fact only be one? I'm sorry what school has told me doesn't instantly sink as my faith, but I resent your attempt to insult. Please leave the thread if this will continue.
Well if all species today stem from some kind of micro-organism living in the oceans or something, that organism would be subject to change on all parts of the earth just like any living thing. So there wouldn't be one, eventually. And it could be that several or more micro organisms were around at the same time to evolve at their own leisure
Well if we had already evolved into another species... which is a super slow process... then you wouldn't be here asking why humans haven't evolved... you'd be asking why whatever we are at the time hasn't evolved. It happens one step at a time. from natural selection. Not sure if anyone here will actually type it all out for you. It would require a huge textbook to explain heheh. I suggest you start googling! (you always need evolution... unless you are perfect...)
