Well, I was thinking today about the whole evolution thing and this popped into my head. It seems unrealistic, but hey, I was bored.

If the first two people on earth were male and female and reproduced and then etc. all the way to the current generation, wouldn't we all be somehow related?

Now, I have no idea what/who the first people were on earth, but thought we could do some "debate and serious talk" with this subject

there were no "first two" humans...
unless you're talking about creationism.

Yes, we are all related.

1.) Adam & Eve, if you believe this = we're all related.
2.) Evolution = tis a fact = all life has a common ancestry = separated by environmental pressure to differentiate yet = we're all related.

somewhere you have to draw a line. Just because we are all descendant from a few cellular organisms, I don't consider that "relation."

So really the debate is a matter of where one draws the line.

it is everyone shares a likings probably because of that...u might have a friend because where they came from down the tree is probably closer to where u were born (thats just a theory i thought of)

It depends on what you mean by related. Yes we are all related in that we are all humans. Are we related like family, then no.

If your perspective was mindless, like nature is, like the engine of change that evolution is, from the perspective of the gene there is no line.

straight from the facebook group. I think it's an interesting concept if you ask me.

Six Degrees of Separation

You are invited to take part in the most ambitious facebook experiment ever...

Using the Six Degrees of Separation theory, I want to see if it's possible to contact every single person on facebook. The theory states that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. (it could be argued that we're all only six degrees from the awesome talent that is Morgan Freeman).

What I don't get about Adam and Eve.

Ok, so they're the first people according to Sand Religions.

So they only had two sons. Cain and Able.

THEN WHAT?

They had Seth too, at least, I can't remember who else they had if any. Their sons had wives but I don't know from where.

Am I the only one who laughed when he said evolution was unrealistic?

We are all ancestors to some degree. Fortunately we have evolved enough down the line and have spread far enough that when we do reproduce, our genes are different enough so as to not have retarded offspring.

It never says they only had 2 sons. They had many children, the only notable ones were Cain and Able.

Yes we are related but family blood only goes to about 3rd cousin or so. So relation today as we know it goes to about 3rd cousin at most so yes it is possible to get married to a 3rd cousin and not have kids with 6 fingers/hand and 4 toes/foot.

Yeah - and "became a man" with a relative. And had your first kiss with a relative. And your parents are relatives too...
It all depends on perspective, and what you would call "related".

yeah you read that right.

Creationism or Darwinism, the facts are there. We're all related.
