I'm no scientist, but I'll stake my claim in that 2% difference rather than some guy with a beard and a long white robe in the sky.
Actually we are not that different. Ok, technologically we are light years ahead of the common ape. However, humans and other apes have similar social structures, families, emotions, and means of communication.doublestuforeo wrote:
I'm surprised that none of you even find the idea interesting. He never said evolution doesnt exist. He didnt even say that we didnt evolve from apes.
Humans are so incredibly different than apes, not just in technological advances, but emotionally, phillisophically, communicatively, physically. It is amazing that we can be so incredibly different when we are so similar genetically.
As far as we know, we are the only intelligent life that has ever existed in the history of the universe. I find that interesting.
Some apes have been taught to read and sign language. The only thing that keeps them from talking is an underdeveloped speech center in their brain.

You know what's funny? You're arguing that we have to be made by God because 2% isn't enough for all those differences, but that's all there is. Even if God exists, we're still only 2% different.
More interestingly: if we are created by God, why are we so similar?

I'm still in favor of divine intervention. God created the universe and the basis for life then let it work on its own for a while knowing the end result. Don't flame me. Just my idea.Bubbalo wrote:

Never! I Flame Thee! Be Flamed!
Is that like a 12 step program? Oh my bad I meant 6 step...Ganko_06 wrote:

Your first mistake is taking a documentary as plain fact.
Human sentience was an evolutionary one-up in the fight against the saber-toothed tiger and other assorted predators in the ice age, much like being bipedal was a way of getting away FROM said predators and an efficient method of killing prey. (Tribes in africa kill deer by scaring it and walking after it. After a few days, the deer drops dead from exhaustion.)
Controlled fire and the spear were clinchers. We survived the ice age, the mammoth, the saber-tooth, and a good many other animals did not.
From there, each advance spurred more and more, and the whole thing snowballed. Evolution can and just has explained it.
Read scientific journals, don't watch documentaries.

The OP might be suggesting something like a spirit. Something that we currently cant measure scientifically. (Maybe later when we understand "string" theory better).Bubbalo wrote:

Anyone notice you never see righthandfork and doublestuforeo in the room at the same time...
I already made it clear that I am also weamo8. (I have contacted a mod about my mistake and will have one account deleted, or I will get banned or something) However, I am not righthandfork (although I do like his style).chittydog wrote:

because it artificially inflates statistics towards your side. IE, it gives you another voice as another person that nobody knows about, except you.doublestuforeo wrote:

now blow that up and pretend you have sixty accounts and get them all to post in your favor in this topic, and you see the problem.
We also share 50% of our DNA with bananas.
I don't put much stock in these numbers.

I think he just didn't know he couldnt do it, and wanted to stimulate some debate from another perspective or something.Undetected_Killer wrote:

either that or he's a lying sack of shit.
you decide.
First: Evolution is fact. I'm not going to prove this, use your reason and watch the world around you!
Second: How can you believe in god when you are blind for the reality of yourself and the world you are living in? All is part of it, evolution as gravitation, life, death, everything, not only what some after-the-book fanatics want to see.
Oh, I'm not that religious but: Happy Easter
