EVOLUTION = ADAPTION I personally lean in the direction that there are both some sort of GOD, universal force,
and, within it, the mechanics of evolution. It would be impractical to perceive our (Earth's, man's) creation as sudden and instant. I think the more logical way of looking at who we are, and where we came from is considering that we all evolved (adapted to our surroundings through
natural selection) from a lesser, simple, or more primitive versions of what we are now. (I can see no flaw in Darwin's theories, can anyone else?)
Take a look at dinosours and birds, recently, scientists now universally came to the conclusion that birds actually evolved from dinosours (the raptor-like ones, e.g. T-Rex, raptors..). They looked at everything from the bone structure similarities, movement characteristics, down to the way they were able to run. Now, most museums say they even feel obligated to re-make their dino models, and construct them...
with feathers! Back even before the dinosours existed, scientists say the planet was dominated by aquamarine-life and
amphibians, inhabiting only the waters and the humid, marshy, swampy regions of the world. Slowly, these amphibians (just take a look at what frogs can do) began to crawl more and more onto land and began adapting to its climate. Generations and generations later, the ones on land have adpated so much that their physical characteristics, especially their skin, have dried out and developed more dry, scale-like skin. These creatures have adapted to the new surroundings to the point where they are no longer even considered the same classification of species that their predeccesors used to be. This illistrates a theory of how and where the dinosours originated from. Life is more easily sustained in the water. Take a look at philangy (spelled right?), you know those little independent life organisms that float in the sea, which is what whales eat. Life like that cannot originate on dry land--sure micro-organisms can live in a biger organisms, but they need a host to survive and live off of. I believe billions and billions of years ago, the most simple, single celled organisms existed in the vast waters. Adaption began to slowly take place and multi-celled life started to sprout, then complex creatures began evolving from them, then comes the land creatures, you can then piece it togethor my point, yourself...
Some give these theories of "water-monkeys," or "aqua-apes." I'm still reading up on the details...
Has anyone ever tried contemplating how our planet was created? There is this theory where the earth started out in processes similar to that of creaction of a pearl. The Earth as an infant was but a mere crystal--slowly it began attracting life force and channeling energy. It's hard to remember the details, but the whole diea seemed very feasible. You can read about this in the book,
Anti-Gravity & The World Grid, by David Hatcher Childress, a great book might I add that I would recommend to everybody.
But that still doen't explain the sudden bang in intelligence and culture of humans over the past 15,000 years (+25,000 years if you believe in Atlantis). Did we simply reach a greater threshold of intelligence through our brain's evolution, or was there something else, something that is widely blown off as moot, something that has helped push our species to this new level...?
Has anyone ever seen the movie
2001: A Space Oddessy? A boring, but great movie. It's morals and ideas have inspired and questioned myself a lot. At the begining of the movie, it says:
Dawn of Man in a text and behind it a beautiful scenery of a sunrise horizon. The scene depicts a tribe of primates living and surviving in a chaotic world. They are scavenging for scraps of food and living only from help of one another. A sabertooth tiger of some sort attacks the tribe and kills off one of the apes. They flee and move on--there is nothing they can do. The apes are intelligent enough to socialize, groom, and play with each other. The next morning, with the sun and moon seeming parallel with each other, appears a huge
monolith, radiating a strange sound, a sound that seems to me to conatin every single note. The apes are going crazy out of confusion--they have never seen such a thing. The apes seem affected--they walk more upight, they actually realize the use of a bone and use it as a tool. Something has definately changed in the dynamics of these creatures, they seem more
able. Some sort of higher force/intelligence gave these primates a gift.
Does anyone support the theory that E.T.'s came down to Earth over 25,000 years ago and cloned their genes into a a form of primates, thus man came about? I believe this, but demand further facts and discoveries. Anyone ever listen to that Rael guy talk about aliens and stuff (the guy involved with that supposed cloned baby and the company, "Clonaid")?
One thing is for sure: once the infamous
Hall of Records is unearthed, it would supply a lot of evidence and documents stating knowledge and history that even predates the pre-dynasty era of ancient Egypt. It may even provide information about the truth of Atlantis, the Sphinx, and even Alien life. This would be the discovery of
the lifetime.
P.S. If you have never seen 2001: A Space Odessey, you might wanna check out this summery to fully understand the movie [
