Monkey or mystical????

[u4ea]

well it seems they have found a skull remains of a 3 yr old girl in ethiopia.........very old ........they rekon she is eveidence of being part monkey,evolved .......
so as i beleive in the mystical arts like Colin Fry and the like it all is soo unexplained.......
i refuse to think i came from monkeys or fish or by the hand of god for that matter!!!!!!
maybe this skull could end all of the religious wars going on .....lol.........yer right!!!!
so where did we come from.......and how do we explain a natural intuition??????

[placidfemme]

well... my theory... explains dinsours and god and evolution... but noone seems to agree with me lol

In the bible, christians nowadays say "on day one god created..." But if you take into consideration the original greek/hebrew scriptures the bible was written in, and the mis-translation of certain texts... instead of day the word is "enon". Which is an undefined period of time... and only at the end of this undefined period of time did god see that "it was good" and moved onto the next day/enon.

God very possibly (if you believe in god) could have created the dinours, waited a few millions years (cause time to god is nothing... soon could be today or in a 10,000 years). He saw that they (dinsours) wasn't good, and so he destroyed them and moved on to the next "project". Through the animal/evolution cycle, changing this and that until he thought it was perfect/good, then moved on again...

In a religious standpoint we could have started off as monkeys and god kept changing us until he thought we were good enough...

Anyway... thats just my theory...

And you do realise this thread could be moved to the scottish thread lol

How do they know she is three years old? Did they find a birth certificate with her? And if it only a skull how do they know it is a "she"

[scumdog]

DNA will prove whether it's a close relation of Dovers or of WINJAS:lol:

Definitly monkey.

I mean you only have to look at you average somlaian immigrant to see the similarities.

[oldrider]

If we don't know, then we can only believe what we choose to believe.

I don't want to believe that we came from bloody monkeys and I don't think there is enough real evidence to prove or suggest that we did!

Who in their right mind wants to believe that they evolved from a "sub species" I prefer to think that "we may be a sub species" of something even greater and that one day we may get ourselves back "up" to our original level!

On today's performance indicators, it's going to be a long, long struggle. :crybaby: John.

Actually, evolutionary theory doesn't argue that humans evolved from monkeys. Or even apes.

Rather, that there was a common ancestor of all three way way back. A prototype monkey evolved from that common ancestor a bazillion years ago,
a prototype ape evolved somewhat less bazillion years ago, and proto-hominoids (ie us) started coming along less bazillions still. So there's no direct connection between apes monkeys and man. Just that if you go back down the evolutionary tree of each, eventually you end up with a common "ancestor" (keep going back, and you end up with the common ancestor of all , a slime mould. Keep going back further still and you find yourself in South Auckland.)

We're just intergalactic dribble that hopped off a passing spaceship - sorta like cockroaches and now infesting Planet Earth. Proof that there is other intelligent life out there? They're not stupid enough to come down here and get involved in our shite!

Sightings are merely the teenagers from outer space who've been told by their olds not to come here - and naturally they do the opposite! After all, would you bloody come down here with the amount of insane malarkey going on? :baby:

Lets rename this thead religous ravings 2. Evolution is flawed, its accepted fact now days.

Dental records???

All this talk is making me crave banana's.

Add some weight to this statement!?

More and more sientists are discovering flaws in the theroy (even whats his name who invented it said it was flawed...)

yip adding a lot of weight to your argumet there.

Now here's a man who knows what he's on about with anthropology.

Good one Ix. We all have 'one' common ancestor and the religous right still pass on the myth that we humans evolved from the apes. We did not. We evolved from one common ancestor and evolved along different evolutionary paths. Our closet kin was Neanderthal. He just did not cut the mustad, but having said that if homo sapiens survive as a species half as long as Neanderthal man we may be able to say the we 'made' it one day.

Yes it has its holes, but Darwin's theory of evolution is significantly less flawed than other theories such as creationism. So it is currently accepted as the most plausible explanation for man's existence. The only reason it is so widely debated is because it conflicts with the beliefs held by many religiious groups. Atomic theory is merely a theory also, yet it is accepted as fact and not debated as it doesnt directly conflict with religion .

i was and still am obsessed with apes and monkeys, mainly chimps. and the intelligence displayed by some [read jane goodall] is amazing. the group dynamics, warring with neighbouring groups [they attacked and destroyed their neighbours....lots of violence...jumping on the "enemy". one was witnessed taking the victims leg and twisting it around and around on the knee joint, stealing and killing young infants from other mothers, and then eating the remains.]
the similarities between them and us tells me we are alike. i just wish my human ancestors had stayed in the goddam trees.

im a believer of evolution, though i have no idea where everything came from orginally.... im also looking around and seeing a lot more kids born with various disabilities and illnesses, and i think thats just another link to evolution.... a few years back, there seems to have been a spate of down sydrome births, as theres a number of down syndrome adults in my town that appear to be the same ages. now it seems like every second kid has ADHD or similar.
