rover your right. religion has no choice but to come into it. vit- i read that book upon erik's recommendation. it was great haha.
z- what your saying is possible, but not likely imho. evolution can only be observed over millions of years, and nobody's observed it. we've seen hints of it- like how animals adapt to their circumstances, but that doesnt necessarily prove evolution.
and evolution would be the basis of your theory wouldnt it?

Yes, and I believe in evolution, and IMO it has been proven. AFAIK very very few people in the science community dont believe in it. Evolution is a fact. We were all formed from a drop of water, then simple one-cell beings, fish, dinosaurs, mammals, apes specifically, etc. etc. (I wasnt exactly the best biology student in my class 
)
It's hard not to believe in evolution when we were all made from a drop of water.

@ LAC : for me. No. Life/existance does not have a pourpose/reason for me.
My view...
All people are not born equal. Some are born with diabilities....some are born rich, some are born poor, some are born with certain talents some are born as ordinary as can be.
This is what you've got in the beginning
The other thing is fate, destiny, chance, coincidence. This is what what is given to you/you encounter later on.
My life..... is using what i've been given to be the best of what that i've got
So yeah... life for me has no reason/ pourpose etc... i just do the best with the cards that i have and he be happy
@ vit, -Z- and anyone else involved in the "animals" discussion...
Scientificaly speaking.... we animals.
someone asked if some other animal may become superior to us in the future or something like that??
Yeah! definately!
Dinosaurs were the donimant species until the disastor that wipped out creatures hat lived On the land. So the mamals that lived primarily underground evolved ..... and now mamals are the dominant species.
Something similar could very easily happen to us.
oh... btw... scientific speculation is that dinosaurs evolved into birds.

-I don't believe in a god. ( thank goodness Gray isn't here )
-On paper i am Catholic. But this was my aprents choice.
-If you asked me. I don't have a religion.
-Yes i believe in evolution.
- No one's ever seen evolution? Are you sure? What is pesticide resistance? What is antibiotic resistance? ( <---- i can answer you this. Antibiotic resistance is a mutation in microbial genone/DNA that imparts on the organism the ability to survive in the presence of some antibiotic which it ORIGINALY could not) So from here.... what is mutation? Some call it error... some call it evolution
you can see this because the lifespan of microbes is only a few mins. Within a week..... you'd have seen so many generations of them.
- I do believe that nature....life... us... you....me...... is/are very special and there are so many things that we do not understand yet. Why? Because we are a creation of nature. And nature is an ingenious force.
* a few are humans animals? thoughts....
-we share 99. something % of our DNA with the Orang-Utan (big asian ape). That 0.something % by which we differ accounts for all the differences between this creature and us.
- Heard of the human genone project? They are unralveling and reading the whole human genome.
Point is... so we can read all our genes. But scientists only understand what less than 5% are actualy for. The remaining 95 % they have no idea what role they play in us.
Our DNA is made up 4 (mm... how to say to you.. ) alphabets? they are ATGC. In different combi... they give you differnt "words" this way... we can "read the words and find the meaning of these genes do, what they are responsible for...etc.
But the discovery is that a huge part of our DNA is "rubbish" it reads like GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC. It's huge lengths or repeated un-understandable things.
People are baffled by this. They believe that each "alpahbet/letter" is in us for a meaning... but then.... the repeated sequence isn't part of the "language". So.... mmm......
I had a convo with my supervisor abt this once (he's a scientist) and he speculations are...
Scientifically he says..: There's another code we have not dis covered. Antoher way to read... another language so to speak... like for eg "Kaka" has diff meaning in diff language. (i know.... really really bad eg... but right now i soooooo can't think of another eg. No offence meant to anyone )
(of course this is only speculation...)
Philsophically he says.. : The remaining 95% is the code for the human soul.
ok.... i know.... everybody is :wth: now.

I'm not :wth:
Sometimes I was astotnished reading some magazines, watching TV programs, when I found out, that we are so alike in our genone/DNA with animals, as I well remember, we are the closest to chimpanzees, not Orang-Utans, less than 1%
But nice, unserstandable, comprehensible exlanation Ivy
the show i watched said that previous studies showd greatest similarity to Chimps.... but now they believe it to be the Orang's.
Anyway, we are very very similar to all the big apes. All within at most a couple of % so i wouldn't be surprise that we are only decimals apart from both the chimps and the Orang's
Oh well..... the diff is just 0.something. And lets stop sitting here discussing which ape we are more similar too :LOL:
It's because it's blown up.....
vit i am asumming that you know a bit abt genetics so... ... i hope you understand. If not i can find another way to explain.
It's blown up because every single A/T/G/C difference in a DNA sequence will give you a differnt set of amino acids (aa).
Each of the 21 aa in nature are very structurlay different and when you string up all the aa into a protein that single aa change that come about from just 1 A/T/G/C difference can give you a quite a different protein.
And it's the protein molecules really that make us up.
Look at it this way. Snake venom. It's actually just modified saliva. Just some small changes/ additions and it will go from soemthing harmless to something toxic.
And don't be so surpried. We also share a large chunk of similarity with plants. (Ivy)
-another intersting but out of no where thingy. The human brain is the only 1 that can study itself.
i was so afraid that on 1 would understand :wth: i'm saying ..... Sunshine baballing nonsense........ again......

Actually I know all that, cause we all have genetics in school over here, as part of biology classes
I couldnt resist to add it here now
