LeadSlead#2the only question I have about humans evolving is.....drumroll....... why are we so damn smart? we're the only creature that we know of, that thinks about it's existence in the long run. and examines the universe...and contemplates our own existance... why is there nothing else even remotly close?we built cars, and houses out of steel, that we made out of rocks, and build fires, on purpose, but put them out..we argue about things that don't matter, like how long our species has existed....why?
and, as you say there is proof we havent been here for as long as everything else, you're never going to convince somebody who believes the direct opposite otherwise, without them seeing the evidence firsthand. You can't just tell them what other people found to be true, that's not the way the human mind works.
TM - not that I disagree with you about evo, BUT, If a group of scientists found the same level of proof, that humans DID in fact, inhabit the earth for all of it's existance, would you change your mind? even though other groups of scientists disagreed? I'm sure you'd want to see and hear all the details, at LEAST, before you even considered changing your mind, and that's not even your religion, that's just knowledge you've aquired.
P.S. frankly, most people arent smart enough to understand all the things necessary to realize wether or not these things are real or false as well.
I agree on that. How did we become to invent language, formulas, science and technology? Even monkeys weren't that smart; I see a big gap in intelligence between chimps and humans.
