Seed of intelligent life

[mfqr]

I don't understand why people seem to say that the other forms of life in this universe are most likely to be lower in intelligence, etc. That's pretty arrogant, and ignorant, for one to say. Why can't there be other lifeforms out there that are far more intelligent than us, maybe even millions of years ahead of us in technology and the understanding of the universe? Lol.

Melkane: But how could you know if that is accurate? It's all a theory. The big bang... etc. Seeing as how we humans have not been here since before the big bang, then we really have no way of measuring it whatsoever. We don't know how large the universe is either... but we all like to think we do.

Some things are kept with the label "Theory" because we just weren't there first hand to see it. Evolution is still labeled a theory but it's been basically proven. We just can't see it occur before our eyes because it's such a slow process so it still gets labeled a Theory.

The Big Bang is another one of those theories. There's more evidence towards Big Bang being the truth (whether the big truth or part of a much larger truth) than against it,

The age of the universe is based on the evidence currently at hand. It's not as set of a theory as the others but I'd say they are probably close.

thats funny u say Evolution is still labeled a theory but it's been basically proven. show me how it's been proven? what funny to me is people belive cause a guy in a coat comes up with his"Theory" on life people have to belive it and i might ad the same guy with the coat that later goes back and say opps sorry i was wrong about that they do it all the time one day it's this next day it's that lol my ? is for the people that belive in evolution why did the eevo process stop? if that is what happened why are we not seeing apes still evoing in to humans lol i swear people don't think much in due process the old evo would still be churning out people we would still be able to see this process to this day think about it u people have got to stop beliving what some guy in a coat says all the time if it were true we should still beable to see the process cont to this day what do u think the old evo churner say ok your numbers are met they (humans)can take it from here my ? is how come we humans can cont the process by having babies but the evo process is null&void now what bs lmao it's funny how much u can learn if u stop and think for ur self and stop letting the media/propaganda groups decide for u hope i was'nt to harsh i just see fact for fact i go by what i know not by what im told if i remember right thats how our rights get taken away lil by lil cause to many belive what there told and not what they belive for themselfs i think it's called brainwashed or something lol sorry had to say it:thumbsup:

ummm I didn't understand most of what you said but I'll try to answer. Evolution is proven because of the sheer amount of evidence we have discovered to back it up. We have an extensive fossil record that shows the slow and apparent changes in all our creatures and how they slowly changed to their current forms. On top of this we can see evolution on a micro scale take place within a year every year. The flu virus. Every year we have to have a new vaccine because the flu virus is constantly evolving mutating. The resistant virus's survive (survival of the fittest) and go on to create a slightly evolved strain of the flu that needs a new vaccine to prevent. This is also why even if you get a flu shot a few weeks later you can still end up getting the flu. This is evolution on the small scale, we can basically see this occur due to the fast reproduction rates of viruss and other microbiological creatures. Then the biggest evidence we now have in our age of advanced science, DNA. DNA studies can show how close a relationship this creature has with that creature so on and so forth. Evolution is proven. The ones that still deny it are almost always religious fanatics that are trying to keep themselves deluded and completely and stubbornly won't look at all the facts we have discovered.

Evolution is still occuring, this very minute, this very moment evolution continues. You can look at the past few hundred years at human beings and see a change. Look back 600-700 years ago, look back at old suits of armor and such, you will find that most clothing/armor is made for shorter/smaller people, not by a whole lot but enough that it's telling now. We have slowly been getting taller and taller every generation. It's also why we get our wisdom teeth removed no days, for some people they can still have them come in just fine. But for many people (myself included) there is just no longer room for them to come in, and they cause problems and have to be removed. Human beings needed them long long ago for chewing but we are slowly evolving to not need them our mouths are getting smaller. Hell there are people born that don't even get wisdom teeth now. That's evolution at work.

lol funny i bet if i said i belive the way i say i do and didn't say i belive in god what would your thoughts about what i belive be then lol it's funny u say humans are getting taller now thats funny theres been short and tall people through out history so to use that is funny at best what about the island they found with all the dwarf people and the teeth thing u talk of saying thats evolution how would evolution know we need less teeth lmfao and really why is it we need less teeth do people not eat meat and other things that are tough and the whole dna thing if i remember right we all came from the earth were all made up of minerals so to say we come from apes i still see no proof i could say that the make up of lead is only 1 away from gold but that don't make it gold i don't know why u are saying u don't understand what im saying cause im following u just fine it's not hard to but u have still yet to show me proof of the part of evolution that we came from a tadpole to apes to now and u have still yet to explain to me why the process has stoped turning tadpoles to apes to humans u know why cause u can't i think people like yourself are trying and spending ur thought on how to disprove something (god) rather than just look at facts and for shits and giggles lets just say what u are saying is true then what caused it do u belive it just happened or a higher power made it happen that way or what?? and the whole fossil thing do u know how many diffrent breads of dogs there are 1000 years from now someone like u is gonna come along and find diffrent dog bones and say see this was the evolution process see these bones there diffrent from those bone failing to see there diffrent breeds and i think u understand what im saying but some people will cut off there nose to spite there face

[palerider7777]

are u one of those people that belive in were killing the earth with all the carbon dioxide being put into the air??

:beatdeadhorse:

It hurts my eyes trying to read all that mess. I'd simply suggest to you to read some books or something on the subject, enlighten yourself a little. It could help you understand that science isn't some enemy out to prove god wrong (science is simply trying to find out how things work) and secondly reading could help you better your spelling and grammar a bit.

Oh and yes humans spewing all the various poisonous chemicals/gases into the air is most certainly going to have a negative impact on the earth in some manner or another.

im not normally this blunt but dude you are a fucking idiot. ya i believe (see thats how we spell it) in evolution because there is so much evidence for it, probably one of the most well documented scientific theories we have. ya its a theory just as gravity is still a theory. i think you people throw around the word theory too much. what most people call a theory is actually a hypothesis,Scientific method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia a theory has been tested and thus far hasn't been falsified. oh and for proof, go look up endosymbiosis, fossil records, and drug resistance just to name a fraction of the evidence. and there is no god damn way most people are going to attempt to read something so poorly written and not separated into at least 2 paragraphs. i will not write in response to anything else you write because i can tell its a waste of time.

it's just weird how u say evolution is such a slow process. i mean we(humans)were in the dark ages up till the late 1800's and did'nt really start using using eg electric ,cars, t'v ,building, materials,stuff in mass quantity until 1920's 30's and from then to now has been an even bigger jump so for it to be such a slow process man in the last say 60 to 70 years it has grown by leaps and bounds so why is it going so fast now i guess next step is lift off it's just weird to me that for thousands of thousands of years pretty much nothin then past 70 years all this maybe were just a mutant breed and i write like this cause im lazy and i can im not here to impress u with my writing perfect unless im on ur payroll and ur gonna pay me to do stuff the way u want it then stfu:thumbsup: and to talk like u calling people fucking idiot and shit like that thats where i can say thats the beauty of the internet u can speak ur mind without fear of a backhandso good for u and the whole thing about a debate is just that a debate no need to get your g string in a wad son

dude you need to go back to school. chill out and smoke or something. because youre typing in ridiculous runoff sentences that last up to two paragraphs, and thats 2nd grade shit, yeah?

the reason the THEORY OF EVOLUTION is a theory because a theory is an explanation of natural phenomena built up logically from testable observations and hypotheses. If you know what natural selection is..well evolution is based on it. Look up darwin.

the reason its taken so long is because thinks ADAPT to their environment, then pass on the necessary traits to reproduce and pass along the same traits necessary for survival in this brutal world. does that make sense? birds beaks werent the same as they are now, theyve been 'genetically engineered', you could say, over time to do the things they do now.

the reason its 'so weird' that that could happen is because we dont see it happen..because like you say, it happens over such a long period of time. thats not weird, its perfectly understandable to me.

sorry if im a dick but youre being a dick and while im not religious at all i do believe in the do unto rule, so youre just telling us how youd like us to treat you as far as im concerned.
