the french belief system does not say that men come from ape nor that they are created by God.
we say that we do not know.... and that is why there are so many scientifics looking for proof, solutions, explainations...is that answer good enough for you ?
Yeah. That's good enough. I think a lot of Americans would say that too.
Eliminating the die-hard religious people and the hard-core evolutionists,
many of the remaining ones would claim that they are waiting for proof.
But I am certain that many of those would not (want to) recognize conclusive
evidence if it stared them in the face. Most are not even looking for it and
are afraid that it will find them. Many think that there is some sort of
political or racist basis for claiming that man evolved from apes. I think
that the thought that our species may actually have an origin is either
totally unimportant to them or the knowledge of it has some dire social
consequences. To me, the truth is just simply what is and what was and
damn the paranoid.
I saw a video on YouTube posted by a really stupid man that was very proud
of a relevation he had and wanted to share it. He claimed that his mind
does the creating of the things that he wants. The example he gave
was that, when he hunts a deer, this caused the deer to come into being.
The moron never thought about why certain extinct species are never
"created" by his mind because he really never thinks about unself-centered
things like that. He claims that all these devices that modern man have
invented to sense and understand the environment around him do nothing
useful at all and merely serve to enslave people to the ruling class. The
existence of people like this that don't exibit human intelligence only
reinforce my belief that humans evolved from apes. Nothing I say should
indicate that I look down on apes. I think that many apes are actually
more intelligent than many humans. Just because they do not have the
speech centers that evolved in humans to commicate their thoughts
doesn't mean they are not intelligent. Speech was a mechanism that
evolved in humans to communicate information. These parts of the brain
aren't used to do the actual thinking just as keyboards, mice, speakers
and video monitors don't do the program execution in computers. They
are merely subsystems for communication just as speech is in humans.
