The "food chain"... or "Evolution chain"

[Ichi-chan]

So looky at this debate. THe thought of God not existing. If it didn't exist, why aren't we Gods?

understand what I'm saying

God - omnipresence... a lot of omni stuff
human - bunch of peter griffins
animals - pets, food...

So if God doesn't exist, sholdn't it be like

humans - omnipresence... a lot of omni stuff.

What do you think? Nows the time to support our beliefs. :spump:

why does anyone have to be omnipresent? Maybe there are just no omnipresent beings?

What's wrong with the theory of Evolution?

Maybe there's nothing out there, no superbeings, no all powerful omnipresent Uberbeing. Life is life. We evolved from monkeys who evolved from fish who evolved from single celled organisms.

Let's go on an Arthur C. Clarke tangent for a moment, human evolution is purely an experiment by Omnipresent aliens who taught us everything we know. Does that make more sense.

Or the mystics can argue over what made the Original Spark of life, what made the fish crawl out of the oceans and breath air?

Because the two statements have nothing at all to do with each other? You're basing your entire argument on the assumption that there must be something omnipotent at the top. I'd like to see your proof for that.

If we have evolved from monkeys, why are there billions of monkeys still in "monkey form"? Why are the billions of fish not monkeys?

I'm of the impression that we (humans) have no major role in the grand scheme of things on this planet or the rest of the universe. We're at the point where we think we are a lot more than we really are.
Example:We think we're melting the polar ice caps. If I had any cartooning abilities I'd draw something to the effect of a bunch of cavemen hanging around a campfire during the decline of the ice age with one saying to the other: "Lookit, if we keep this whole fire thing up we're going to melt all this ice." The reality, IMHO, is that the ice is melting because that's what ice does, particularly when you're spinning around a big ball of fire while the inside of the ball th ice is on is also a big ball of fire. We're simply at the tail end of the ice age.
Getting back on track... we are about as significant as insects. Our beliefs, our inventions, our great achievements really don't change anything when you consider the size of the universe.
Whether we evolve into greater beings or simply more destructive beings, eventually our lease on this planet and our place in the endless of the universe will barely be a ripple from a grain of sand thrown into an ocean.

There aren't billions of monkeys. Apart from that, monkeys and fish exist because they are good enough to survive. Evolution doesn't guarantee improvement, it merely encourages it when necessary. Had something evolved to threaten the existence of either, they would've evolved too (or gone extinct, as has been the case for some species less fortunate). If there is no immediate threat to a species, it will evolve very slowly if at all, and not necessarily in a way that is beneficial in terms of survival.

Some do, till it turns into a fight as it more often than not does on here. :dunno:


My question. Are we turning into a religious forum now? If you are serious about all these questions and want real answers why not go to a site that is about all this? Probably get better answers there. Where others are pondering the same questions. Not where half of them are reading your thread while looking at porn and touching themselves. *shrugs*

Just my :2 cents:.

What he really needs to do is read up on evolution before he starts questioning it.

Thank you.

According to the Bible, the Earth was created in 6 days. And man was created on the 7th(?) or something. So who the heck are all those huge bones of dinosaurs we keep finding? And why are they dated as far older then any evidence of any human existence?
The book of Genesis just cannot stand up to known facts.


I don't mind you making these posts - as I believe you mean well. But if you are going to ask us to have an open mind; then please have one as well.

"God creates dinosaur.
God destroys dinosaur.
God creates man.
Man destroys God.
Man creates dinosaur."

Dinosaur eats man.
Woman inherits the earth."

I don't think you understand evolution. Animals evolve through a number of genuses. There can be many different species in that genus. Evolution takes place by a new species of ****** being introduced. This does not mean the previous species will be wiped out or replaced, and this does not mean the old species will gradually become the new species. The new and old species are seperate beings.

We have evolved from fish, in that there have been many genuses, and species before us. Only the strongest species will continue to survive, such as species of monkey or fish.

So in theory, if a new species of the genus homo was started, we (homosapiens) may be able to live alongside this new species, or this new species could be superior or use up the things we need to live, therefore wiping out our species, the homosapiens.
