Looking at you.
Hi
I don't have a dog in your fight, but you have made an error. Humans have as many hair follicles over the entire body as does a Chimpanzee. This is a fact, look it up.
Sort of, yet no. When you don't believe in a god you're technically thinking that it's ok to do those sort of things. I mean, if there was no god what is the point of living? No God=No point to Universe=No point to life. If the universe was just pot luck then we aren't important, if we aren't important as people why should you care about our feelings? And why should we care about yours? Delinquishing all the things that we see as good, love(who cares?), kindness(What's the point?), generousness(It'll make no difference to MY life), and all the others too.

Looking at you.
Like I said, I don't care about the debate you are having with someone else. But if your are going to debate, you must have you fact right. I was just trying to help you.
If you want to know my opinion, just ask, you might be surprised about the answer.
Which means, according to certain facts, it'd be just as likely to be an evolution of something else, yet we are unique in enough ways to make us a pure creature.
Why do we think so lowly of us as humans? Why do Monkeys have to be before us? Why can't WE have been there before THEM?
1. Apes make no difference, but then we return to the question, How come people who live in jungles with apes are actually human if we evolved from the apes? There would be no REASON to evolve into something different if they both have the same hardships. And yet, where are the Ape-people?
2. You don't just make something for no reason, everything has a purpose, the grass was clearly made to turn the CO2 we breath out into Oxygen, The moon was clearly made in its position to block out the sun to make day and night. Two cousins weren't born on the same day, 20 minutes apart, the same weight and a birthmark in the same place for no reason either. If they seem to fit together SO much, doesn't it make things feel like there's a reason?
(By the way, me and my cousin are the ones who were born on the same day 20 minutes apart, with a birthmark in the same place, and the same weight)
NOTHING happens for no reason, the G8 aren't meeting for no reason, Isaac Newton didn't figure out Gravity for no reason, earth Is clearly like it is for some reason. Scientists have found no other intellegence so far so we must be unique, and recently the worlds top scientists have tried to figure out the meaning to the universe and so far the proof points to a god.
Finally, when i was asking why the universe is there, i was wondering why everyone else thinks there's no purpose and was wanting proof why it shouldn't have one.
That's a very interesting site, there is a problem with their suggestion though, if monkeys/apes abilities changed, their way of thinking could leave parts of their body unusable. They have different feet to us, and because of this their brain would get confused and would just leave out the bones and muscles in area of the body it can't control because of the extra amount of braincells for that specific part.
In simple, You could implant human brain cells into a cat, making it more intelligent, yet what would it do to the parts that we don't have/use?

Humans and apes share a common ancestor but descended through different evolutionary paths.
You un-necessarily assume that all things are created.
Pant life uses carbon dioxide for respiration and release oxygen as a waste product; Animal life uses oxygen for respiration and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. This relationship exists not because living things were designed this way, but because they evolved this way. Those plants that did not use carbon dioxide for respiration and release oxygen as a waste product, and those animals that did not use oxygen for respiration and release carbon dioxide as a waste product, did not survive.
Furthermore, there is no evidence that the universe is purposed. If you are making the positive claim that it is, the burden of proof is on you to provide evidence, not the other way around.
oh really you have posted a load of swada but no answers
meaning to the universe is just to be, so it is with life, meaning is to live it
you assume I believe you, for all I know you can be called Tommy and be blind deaf and dumb and if what you put here is a so called answer it is a really really weak ass answer
guess both of us posting here takes care of that "riddle"
and 98 % of the DNA
they look the same to us, not to a monkey
because of a moral code that have existed longer than that of the biblical ones like the code of Hammurabi, dont ever think that the biblical ones were the "first" moral laws out there
many dont have tail at all, and monkeys from the same speiecies do not all look the same at all, if you spen time with a group you learn to see the diffrences, just as if you have identical twins, to the common man they look exactly the same. But for them who spend time with them learn to sea difrences. The fact that we humans were able to walk uprised on two feets is one of the answeres why we became suprerior ones of the primates, higher intelligence is another reason. And dint underestimate the intelligent of the monkeys though, they are way smarter than we really think, and through study we starting to learn that
many humans are very hairy indeed, and as you claim with the monkeys we human think certain races look alike, and there are plenty of humans that would be considered far from very intelligent
because they are two different speieces within the primate group , and (hopefully) they breed with the other humans to extend their genetic line, just as the monkeys breed with their own to extend their line. It would be just as asking why doesnt sheep dogs who spend their entire life watching and herding sheep bleat instead of bark
what a load of crap, this is nothing but pure ignorance
these are your reasons and I hope you aint so ignorant and arrogant that you think your way is the only way
