Evolution in action

The whole basis of psychology is professional "generalising"

Meh. Well, you're still not very good at it

Don't kid urself. Evolution, couldn't be more obvious.

I have recently finished reading a book called 'Man's True Ancestors' and although I have always been rather sceptical of the Adam and Eve theory of our existence on this planet I am now completely convinced that Charles Darwin got it right with his Theory of Evolution, and that the ancient scribes who gave us the biblical theory got it completely wrong.

This planet is approximately 4.5 billion years old and early man, who descended from the great apes of the African savannah 7 million years ago were our ancestors, so it must follow that the great apes were our direct ancestors. This has been refuted by church leaders because it does not tie in with their cosy, rather childish like theory of Adam and Eve being the parents of the human race. On close scrutiny the biblical stories and alleged miracles were all fantasy invented to control the illiterate masses of
those far off days and initiate organised religion. So the big question is; did man create God, or did God create man ? In my opinion there were only two wise men, not three, and they were, Huxley and Darwin.

Jimmy, Jim, Jimbo, Jimbob, Jimmy-Jim-Jim, Jimmy Choo, J, The J-man, The Jster, J-to-tha-I-to-tha-M-to-tha-M-to-tha-Y, Jason, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan:

I know, you know, and everyone with at least an eighth of a functioning brain cell knows that the chances of the story of Adam and Eve being actually true and as described, are zero. Some Leopard Seals know. They worked it out one quiet Tuesday when there was nothing much happening.

But, alas, it is human nature to believe in, accept, and generally not question, any old mush your are force fed.

Ignore, for now, the seething mass of terminally gullible, hard of thinking, tambourine banging, God botherers, who seem intent on continuing to humiliate themselves by worshipping the Moon well into the 21st century, and look elsewhere...

People believe in ghosts. Goblins. Talking to the dead. Horoscopes. Fortune tellers. Mystic men. Magic. Ouija Boards. Mediums.

You name it, some gullible chump will disengage the old grey matter and become a believer. Its the way things are.

So don't get too bothered with trying to disprove or pick fault with the infinitely dodgy viewpoint of your average Moon worshipper.

In America there is a museum featuring a Stegosaurus with a saddle. You'd think that the indisputable scientific fact that the Stegosaurus was extinct millions of years before modern humans evolved would sort of cut that exhibit down, but there it is.

Carbon dating of rocks would also seem to throw a spanner in the works of the whole creationist argument. Only if using sane and ration argument. Now... if these people were sane and rational in the first place, they wouldn't believe hook, link and sinker in a book which features a talking snake.

So it goes without saying you can not use things like rational logic, because by the very nature of being a Jesus tickler, you have to turn your back on those things.

These people will say black is white. They will stare at a black piece of card and claim it is white.

Ignore them and hopefully they will go away.

My personal favourite is Odin, by the way, Odin created God to trick the Devil into creating Vishnu, who tricked Ra into tricking Christians into believing in God.

I believe he may have planted dinosaur bones in the ground and rigged up all the carbon-14 atoms as well.

He's crazy like that.

I refuse to prove that I exist, for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.

God is the product of faith, faith is a product of man's desire to explain the unexplainable. Kind of like the X-Files.

Yes, I have studied psychology and the Human Psyche, and it's amazing how one can discover certain things about a poster's personality and inner character in a handful of somewhat benign posts. After spending a relatively short period of time on any forum it is possible to write a text book on the human psyche and it's response to controversial subjects.

First thing to remember in the field of psychoanalysis is; Most humans can be likened to sheep. They feel more comfortable following the flock. On the other hand I feel more comfortable just being me, a freethinker. It's most interesting to observe the amount of hostility a freethinker encounters on discussion forums, or even in any other walk of life. They refuse to conform to the norm and it upsets the passive, conditioned majority. The question now is, why does the majority become upset and annoyed. Do they feel threatened by someone who refuses to join the flock ?

Maybe because you joined an IT forum to post threads about Religion, Wine and other random things... I don't see how that really proves anything in your psychoanalysis, it's not "freethinking" it's just off-topic. Rather than hostility I think you'll find it's more confusion as to why you didn't join a more appropriate forum.

What I want to know is why the OP uses ----------- or ___________ after quoting a post it's not necessary. After all this thread was going nowhere from the start so a bit of extra derailing won't go amiss. If the OP had bothered to enter "evolution" into the search function they would have found a few topics on the subject.

Right now it's 2pm and I have the afternoon off I'm gonna get a GnT and play with my 7 1/2 month old niece. She's vastly more entertaining than this thread.

^and the enduring popularity of reality television.

Would you, perhaps, describe reality TV as being quite a sedative to its legions of viewers (the public masses), perhaps even an opiate?

[DavidM]

Agree with you 100%...

He is probably just trying to rack up enough posts for free scan delivery or access to for sale forum...

Spam posts don't count Sim...

Again. Yawn.

Jimmy Choo Choo Choo.

You don't believe in God and you don't believe that the McCanns are guilty of anything.

Great.

Good for you!

Have a companion cube!

I think thats about enough of that
