(Caveat : not entirely sure it belongs to Hot Topics, but the politics sub forum seems so much about Romney/Obama recently, and this subject is broader than that.)

I was quite appalled by the large number (46%) of American who answered to the poll about the origin of mankind by the choice of utter direct creation by God some 10 000 years ago :(

What do you think of that ?
 
If the statistic quoted is correct, then yes, they are. Evolution is settled science.
 
I do not for one second believe we just evolved from apes. There is just entirely too much about every living thing that could not just be random. I also believe that it is very egotistical to think that we were not created by a higher being. I do not only mean a Christian god here. I know this wont be popular with the rest of you all, though. It is just my beliefs.

Do I have an ego when I think I was not created by some omni present being who seems to be absent all the time

damn my ego is large then.
 
Forty-six percent of Americans believe that God created humans in their present form at one point within the past 10,000 years

We had to evolve from something and all scientific information and common sense leads to apes.

Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed
5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.
-0-------------------------------------------
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the chimpanzee and found that humans are 96 percent similar to the great ape species.

"Darwin wasn't just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes—he didn't go far enough," said Frans de Waal, a primate scientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. "We are apes in every way, from our long arms and tailless bodies to our habits and temperament."
 
BTW we didn't evolve from apes. We share a common ancestor with apes.
 
It's quite a bit depressing.

I recently looked at the Wikipedia page regarding the Universe, and there was a slowly increasing increment of pictures that show our place in the universe. It starts with the zoom in, then a bit further, to the point where the Milky Way is nothing more than a white spec on a big black background.

To believe that we can even comprehend our origin is insane.

But, what I can say, is that anyone who believes there is a higher power SPECIFICALLY WATCHING our race and creating our race, is far more insane.

The universe is just too expansive and grand for an explanation to be that simple. And if it does boil down to God, it leaves the question of if we're so special, why create the rest?

Give me two large rocks collide into each other sparking life over God any day.

perhaps we

DEVOLVED from them or the common ancestor.

Well, at this point...

I'm not dying to find out...

and then, it will really be a moot point won't it?

Have they located heaven - or hell - yet? What about Dante's Inferno? Advise soonest.
 
What didn't happen was God making Adam and then Eve from his rib and then a clusterfuck of incest that led to mankind.
 
fuck all this human origins bullshit. i would like to know the origins of stupidity. anybody researched on that yet?
 
.....le sigh. At least it's no longer the majority of Americans who feel that way (based on the survey data).
