Just coz something it repugnant, disgusting and vile, doesn't mean it's not real... i think there is a lot more conclusive evidence leaning towards evolution (coz u can more or less see it if u look at bones of apes and humans) than there is of some 'higher power'. Course I'd like to believe in a God... I think really, everyone would... but where's the proof? Anyway that's my opinion and i respect yours... I find that these God conversations always go the same way and I've had millions and I'm sure you have too so let's not get into it.

I see where you're coming from, but we are animals. We are just more self-conscious and vain than other animals because we are supposedly more developed. I say supposedly because it's just that we have developed to suit what type of lifestyle we are to lead and other animals have done the same.

Regardless as to what happened to him in the Matrix, his meeting with Smith, the Oracle, Architect.. he should still be ordinary.. in an anatomical way.Of course, this is assuming that it is a "real world", not part of the matrix. Thinking about this movie frustrates me. 🙂
You are forgetting Neo is supposedly a messiah. How would a doctor or scientist explain what Jesus supposedly did? He is not a regualr human!
I believe in evolution, just on a much smaller scale. I don't believe we came from primates and they eventually came from fish and fish came from one celled organisms.
We share 90%+ of our genes with most vertebrae. But there are too many missing links, too much of a different between humans and primates.
If anything, Dinos were wiped out BECAUSE of our arrival/creation. There are no coincidences.
But we are DIFFERENT from animals, its like Smith said, "we're not really mammals", we have choice, not innate sense of our surrounding, but we actually have CHOICE, direction over our lives, animals just do what comes naturally, but we can go in any of a million directions with our lives. We are not bound by innate desire, we are created differently than that.
Nope, we do NOT use all of our brain. That’s one of the many mysteries of the organic computer we all carry around. But the exact percentage that seems to lie dormant eludes me right now.
Neo hasn’t unlocked ANY occult or metaphysical powers. We know by now (from the thread behind the scenes) that at the end of Reloaded Neo is still uploaded into the Matrix. The only mystery is how that enabled him to stop the sentinels. It probably does have something to do with the Mobil Avenue sub-system program.
Feanorlp> The story about Darwin putting down evolution on his death-bed is just that. A story. Made up and permeated by religious fanatics. So don’t believe everything your preacher tells you, instead try reading anther book aside from the Bible.
JediHDM> No, there is no evidence for the biblical Creation, more than there is for other religious creating myths. But be my guest: Show me the evidence, please.

Regardless of its origin, experts in the field of neurology seem quite certain that although certain pathways in the brain may be working at different activity levels, all parts of the brain are always being used—even during sleep.

i rest my case.

you do realize what you just said is really silly, right? 😂 💃

That is absolutely not true. Theres like a million years seperating dino's and the existance of man. The only cool extinct animal we were around for was the wooly Mammoth. 🙂
I cant believe Im reading a debate on evolution, I just had a huge argument with my girlfriend yesterday on this topic. She's a former Jehova witness. Take my advise dont ever have a conversation about this with one, theyre very thick headed.
Personally, Im open to the possibility of both situations. If you remove 98% of our intelligence, thered be no difference between us and the apes. We'd act and do the same things as them in the jungles. We have too much in common with other mammals to ignore that we MAY have evolved from them. I mean, do you realize that we have a "TAILBONE"?? think about it. Is it just a coincedence that we share 96% of the same DNA with apes? Same bone structures, organs, the amount of physical traits is too scary to ignore ! Im sure if you did research, youll even find proof & documentation of apes portaying acts of love and hate. Of course, the religious people love to use the word "insticts" but I think its more than instict when apes protect and nurse their children in the same ways we do. When they show emotions and feelings, I find it hard to 100% accept that its only insticts.
