I gather some of our neandertals do not realise we can establish if there are planets around other stars. Perhaps NASA can explain.

Here is evidence of man evolving between the date 5,8 and 5.2 million years ago.

Is there a god.

Carl Sagan explains it very well, diplotaically I mean. I would have told him to go forth and mi;tiply in the best possible way.

I can understand why our ancestors believed in the utter nonsense of a creator since they unlike us had very little means for doing research so they just followed their predecessors just ad some today do.
Today research is easily carried out, facts, scientific facts are readily available at a click.
I as I get older I find it rather infuriating when people still believe that this imaginary and non existent creator apparently created man out of ....dust. I presume that he, the creator also created all life out of ....dust !! He also created heaven and earth? The Sun the moon and billions of stars. I must also presume he also created fucking flies and a plethora of virmin :lol:
Wake up !! It's MYTHOLOGY. THERE IS NO CREATOR, icons DO NOT shed tears, miracles DO NOT happen, saints are created by man just as god was.

It is an easy way to control people of simple minds. After all who would not suffer here if the prize on the other side is 72 virgins or what ever heavenly treats the christian religion offers. In the 16 century people were buying keys to heaven to take with them after they die. It seem over 400 years of learning has not shifted these simple people from their beliefs.

It is fascinating to trace back to our origins of life, along with trying to understand things which we cannot see, but perhaps do exists all the same in the 3, 4, 5, 6+ dimensional world. Who is to say God did not create science and science created evolution? It is very easy to dismiss anything to which we cannot see, as things are only logical in our 3 dimensional world of the things which we can see or able to measure with instruments . As humans and individuals, we only occupy space on this Earth at most a little over 100 years. Each 1 million years in the future will generate at most 10,000 generations (one hell of a family tree) in our 3 dimensional world which we as humans and all living things will continue to evolve. To what exactly, no one knows.

Please do not ask what my point is in all this! :lol:

Anyway on with life on earth. One of the falshood the church pushed was that Man could think, plan ahead, communicate and make tools,

Well here is a bird that can also think and make a tool too.



and another making a hook.

Can I knock this down in one move. if god existed he would be like a house builder. It would not throw bunch materials in the air and hope that they fall in the right way or at some point evolve to suit the purpose.

Evolution is not about some superior being controling what happens.

Lets give a good example in our time. Chernobyl explosion took place. What happened since then is fascinating. A lot of animals and plants died and some survived and actually thrived from the opened special opporotunity. Some crazy scientists eventually returned there with suitable protection and started growing vegitation for human consumption. Clearly he had to make sure anything he grew there was not poisoned by radiation and sure enough he did actually grow stuff there he could eat. In otherword they could filter radiation out of their system

So in this instance the Nuclear disaster created a bit of localised evolution as only plants and animals that are able to stand radion survived and the rest died. As this radiation will be there for thousands of years, clearly those able to stand it will thrive.

This is how evolution takes place. If it was not for the extinction if the T-rex and his kind , mammals would not have had a cat in hell chance of surviving on this earth as they were food.

We are now in a position to actually convert the formation of stars and planets and understand exactly how they are formed. It also begins with G it is called Gravity. Not only does it help with star and planet formation it also protects life by the acting as a shield to protect earth. The devestation caused by these obects are clearly seen on the moon and who knows what would happen if the earth was the only planet orbitting our sun. Without gravity we would not even be able to walk on the earth we would be thrwon out into space.

It really is not rocket science.

Well, we don’t necessarily know what god is or that it had a master plan to create man in his own image. God may have created science and science created it’s own plan based on circumstances and conditions, hence evolution. God and Evolution can both exist together to answers everyone’s questions of our existence. :wink:
