What did god call the first Neanderthal? Arnold perhaps? What about Arnold's wife? What was her name? Why did god kill them off? Were they not also gods children? They buried their dead just as the judeo-christian god must have told them to. The bible does not mention this because they were not known by the superstitious, genocidal, illiterate tribal thugs who orally passed on the word of god that later became the holy book of crap.
@MrKerpelWatson actually there are many videos of monkeys beating university students in memoery tests and number work, and there are videos of animals having friendships and loves and ive definetly seen animals dancing.
of course animals cant read its a language we have made its like asking you to read mandarin or another language without leraning it, and anyway its scientificlly proven that we have brains speccially suited to comunication and language which we gained through evolotion.
The difference between homo sapiens and our nearest evolutionary cousins is that we can choke. Humans have a descended larynx giving us the ability to make sounds other primates can't but also making us vulnerable to choking.
The descended larynx makes the intercommunication of language rich and evolutionarily advantageous.
castes are evolution. Their parents just did it first, so you have to respect them. Some will escape, but it hurts us as a whole to have to work for nothing.

Actually monkeys do have a language, it's not as complex as ours, but they have different words for different predators. Not only that, but different types of monkeys often travel together and understand each others languages. As for poop, my little cousin used to eat his if his diapers weren't changed fast enough
I don't believe in evolution (missing links) and neither do I believe the world is only 6000 yrs old...so both theories have their faults. I am finding that there is more and more evidence pointing to the possiblility of us being seeded here from ETs. Even the bible speaks of giants where ppl were like grasshoppers.

@TheAverageMetalhead always the best way. its annoying when people automatically start getting angry, i respect your view and vice versa nice to have a positive argument on this website :)
I would say ther we are distingushed by a nexus higher objective thought and complex language. Some animals do have a rudimentary language, the pant-hoots of chimps, for example.
Cosmological evolution: how two elements (hydrogen and a little helium) became everything else on the elementary chart, how stars and eventually planets for, and how chemicals like proteins and lipids necessary for life to start form over a very long time.
Biological evolution: how, once the ingredients and resources are in the right proportions, locations, and configurations, incredibly simple living things can become very complex very gradually over a very long time.
My favorite quote is at 1:19 : "They might just be naturally gravitating towards the portion of the theory that makes them most uncomfortable." - wow! ...I applaud you Sir.
Especially enjoyed the calm and compassionte yet sometimes condescending tone in your voice.
one of the things that makes me go apeshit(get it) is when some religious dumbass makes that statement not only because it is wrong but because this obstacle, that religions are, will not go away for quite some time which means humanity will not progress and evolve for quite some time. this scares me a little bit, which is why I am going to start the Logical Inquisition which consist of aversion therapy with brillo pads and car batteries.But jokes aside we have to do something about this.
Let me know something??Ok.. If I believe in Evolution(excluding monkeys and the missing link of course) does it make me not a Christian? Just a question..
@turquoiseraven72 You can believe, and think in evolution. (believe is more of an baseless argument following) If you're agnostic, then its fine. Otherwise, your religion (or the bible) WILL inevitably contradict the truth.
The world is way better with agnostics now, than religion-following people.
In regards to strawman arguments, most creationists probably do believe them sincerely. They are simply repeating the misinformation handed down to them from their pastor or youth minister, individuals that they consider to be more credible then "atheistic evolutionists."
The temptation to list traits that are 100% unique to us, rather then being found in a cruder form in other species, is an alluring one. I usually try to avoid it but even I've giving to tha quest. To my knowledge, we are the only beast that reflects on prejudice/arrogance within ourselves and try to work against instincts toward xenophobia, obedience to authority, etc. Ironic, those who try to seperate man from beast deny one of the things that truly do that by not realizing their own arrogance
Actually, several animals show the beginnings of language. Vervet monkeys have specific calls for warning of specific types of predators (leopard, hawk, snake). Chimps have different calls for announcing certain foods. Dogs will use body language and vocal signals to send messages to other dogs, and elephants communicate using infrasonic rumbles, and have a specific rumble for "lion" which has been played by humans to make elephants leave the area.
I agree with techno, though. Animals do have language. Any species that can make noise through their mouth has to have some kind of language, what else would it be used for, random grunts and noises? I think what really separates us from animals is the capability to think into the future, about possibilities, and daring solutions.
In human development, if I remember correctly, there are 3 levels of pre-language communication (not sure what the exact term is) before we develop proper language skills:
1. Crying
2. Cooing
3. Babbling
(I am not trying to make any specific point, I just think it is interesting information within this discussion.)
lol, yah. but it's really useless to discuss this with scientific confidence since we know so much about brain development and there's 1000 times more we don't. but nonetheless it is an interesting point :)

Speaking of throwing it this video is the biggest bunch of it i have heard in a long time. I know this guys closed anchestor is a baboon, because he really know how to fill us full of his..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You do realize that by making this video you are doing the same thing your accusing creationist of doing. You believe in evolution. Its a belief not a fact. Just like creationism. Its a belief. People have to have faith in it. And when you ask creationist they will tell you that is what they believe. You have just as much evidence of evolution as creationist have of creationism. I personally believe in a combo of the two.
It is a fact. In fact, it's lots of facts, all supported by evidence. Saying creationism and science are on the same epistemological footing is to misunderstand what is a valid reason to believe a proposition, and what is an invalid reason.
It is not faith. Similarly, it is not faith that lets us assume that if we let go of an object, it will fall to the ground. We have formed our belief in gravity and evolution on testable evidence. Faith is an excuse to believe the irrational without evidence
Then where is our common ancestor to Apes? There is no absolute proof that we can from any other animal. Find one iota of tangible evidence. Am i saying that it didn't happen? No.
Are you one of these people who thinks evolution can happen for other animals but not humans? Why are we special?

@DoNotBeHighandMighty that'd be nice, if he was alive. his existence itself is even questionable. sure, maybe this particular "jesus" existed but this isn't the first story of a man with supernatural powers, disciples, and so forth, set waaaaay before this jesus character in question.
@kenmabie I take offense at your remark. I was born homo. I am an atheist. I think maybe your thinking should evolve just a bit. There's no reason to play with childish hateful remarks to prove any point. And I am sorry that you feel this phobic about something you don't understand. The deal with the church has nothing to do with homosexuality and everything to do with suppression of a natural drive and deprivation taking hold.
@kenmabie I don't think using homo is funny no matter how you phrase it.. I realize it's a joke. It's a joke that uses a whole class of people as the punchline, or at least a word that describes them.
@Shad3251 are you stupid? thats the scientific names he used i was making fun of religitards no gay, but the way youre acting, is making me want to make fun of some cocksucking turd burguraling queers
@kenmabie The way you wrote that it looks like YOUR insult. Calling me stupid when you are the one using language like that here with expectation that everyone should see a joke without even explaining basic damn things about that remark, makes you look like an ass which you are.
@kenmabie Go ahead make fun of queers. It seems like that was your original intention. Nobody cares what you say about others' sexuality anyway in the scheme of things. What I think does not matter either.
lol yea that was my original intent... or maybe your just a paranoid butthurt homo that cant take a joke that was based apon scientific names... so here you go , congrats, i will now go around my city to the gay bars and start beating the shit out of any queers i find untill they all leave the city , and when i am stomping on their faggot cocksucking mouths with my boot, i will say this is all because of shad3251 from youtube... fucking faggots....
@Shad3251 oh wow , amazing , you try to win all your arguments by using violence... sounds like you dont have the "grAy matter" to intelligently win an argument... all your arguments are now invalid, since you seem to think violence is an acceptable for of debate
@kenmabie I said that in response to your reply in which you stated you were going to take out your anger on other "queers" by beating the shit out of them". I do not condone violence and what I meant to convey was that not all of us are wimps. That would be a stereotype. My original argument, though angry as it was, was meant to say that if you say something that a comedian said at some point and you don't source it, people don't know you are making a joke. I took you at your word.
@kenmabie I probably jumped to conclusions when I originally posted as I didn't know the context in which you were making that statement so I have nothing against you & if you were offended I apologize because making someone upset was not what I intended.
yes you did i was making fun of the homo (in the scientific terms) and how religious people hate homos, i have no problem with gyas lesbians bisexual transgender or straight people , i do have a problem with close minded fucktards that like to try to berate and belittle other people, ( mostly religious people do this so i try to fuck with them when ever possible)
I never said that creationism actually happened. You are now trying to put words in my mouth that I never said. You are very poor at making arguments.
Ah, no razieltov. It is not a belief in the same way u classify religious belief.
"You have just as much evidence of evolution as creationist have of creationism".
Incredibly, flat out wrong. The only "proof" creationsists have is a 2000 yr old BOOK i.e. does not even satisfy the criteria of evidence. Evolution has millions of factual evidence, ranging from DNA similarities to fossil evidence, and from so many different fields of science, you'd have to be WILLFULLY ignorant to ignore it.
No, Evolution is a fact that has evidence to back it up. Creationism is a belief that he has no evidence to go with it besides personal beliefs and experiences. If you say people believe in evolution, it is like saying people believe in gravity or germ theory. Its not in the same league as religion.
I don't think you understand. There is two types of evolution. Current evolution which simply means change over time. Like Cockroaches. They change over time. Or why we have different species of felines. Then there is a common ancestor theory of evolution. There is still no actual evidence of that. There may be some circumstantial evidence but even that won't fly in court.
You after thinking about it, you people are extremely closed minded. You have done absolutely zero actual research on this topic. I actually have a degree in biology so I know a little about this topic.
What i am trying to say is that you can't be 100% certain that evolution is true or creationism. You people act like your God. That only you know the answer. Like I said before I believe in a combination of the two. But you people are sick and depraved with your closed minds.
I think is all the way around. Ok fine you believe in both, creation and evolution. See being a creationist means being closed minded, because they flat out deny the Theory of Evolution and they only use scientific facts that agree with their beliefs, but the ones that go against them are "lies". So there, that's being closed minded. I can be 100% sure that evolution is true, but I can't be 100% sure that there's a God (most likely not).
You can be sure there is evolution. What actual research have you done? You are just going by what you read on the internet and were taught in school. You are being closed minded. Its only your way and no other way. How is that not being closed minded?
haha do you hear your self...you know how ridiculous it is to be going by what the bible says?...And also, so basically, all the work that scientists (A LOT BTW)have put on working on the evolution making it a fact, it is all unreal then? You know I base my facts off evidence and not faith which it's exactly what religion and the bible is(faith)...and I said I was not 100% sure there's a good...I am more 99.9% for Evolution and 0.1% for Creation, see I am not close minded =]
a lot in life is choosing what authorities are trustworthy. Generally scientific data is reliable because of the regulations that surround it. Peer-review makes forging data or conclusions difficult.
your statements made sense up to the point where you stated that there was just as much evidence for creationism as for evolution. Of course everything is a matter of faith, TO SOME DEGREE. However, the doubt we have regarding evolution is not nearly as high as creationism. Frankly, to call it faith is dwelling on a tiny bit of uncertainty which is almost negligible. The lack of evidence for creationism is NOT negligible.
Check out the theory that we are possibly descended from 'aquatic apes'. Lots of evidence concerning our breathing ability, (apes can't control their breath and don't have a dive reflex) fat deposits (apes can't get really fat/obese), nakedness (they're are no naked apes) etc.
Some very serious arguments there, they need more money to fund such a theory but I'm open to it.
Yeah, I think that's the reason people feel so uncomfortable about the "monkeys" thing. Apes are just enough like us to creep a lot of us out. Although I have to admit I personally find them endearing.
Masturbating and throwing shit are not activities chimps usually indulge in when they're in the wild. Zoos are unnatural conditions which lead to stress-induced behaviours.
There are so many people who have views on the subject of where we came from and we're all so busy insulting each other that we are taking more time to do so rather then trying to figure it out. If someone is questioned about their beliefs then explain them ...don't scream them. Believe what you want but respect others too. As said a million times before and what hopes to be a million times more; Can't we all just get along?
LOL, did you see the monkey in a segway? That was funny. If all humans are our brothers and sisters, animals are our cousins. So be good to animals, OK?
its interesting when you look at human psychology and apply it to animals, when you take observed reactions of animal and apply what you learn to humans
Yep. Humans think their intelligence places them on a level so far removed from animals that they don't even like to acknowledge the fact that they, too, are animals. They just happen to have a bigger mental capacity than their fellow animals. Birds just happen to have the ability to fly.
I've never understood their "I'm not a monkey!". I share ancestral link with lions, tigers, horses and many other beautiful animals who also have a vertebrae. The raw material that made me came from star dust, and that not something to be ashamed of. So creationist, instead of yelling im not a monkey, say "See that lion, horse, panther" we share a very distant ancestor link and our basic elements that make us up were born in the stars. Isn't better then just "i came from a monkey"
If the planets were formed from debris from the sun (a star), and life sprung from one of those planets, then it's not crazy to say that we are made up of star dust, which in the end could be just another way to say 'energy'.
I agree whit you to 100%. IF(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) that is true and we would have scientific proves that it was it would not be crazy to say that we are made out of stardust.
So is gravity. What exactly is your point? You do understand the difference between a fact and a theory and that one will never "become" the other no matter how much proof one has?
Yes, but no rational person thinks things are true because "some scientist" says so. They think things are probably true because the scientific community comes to a general consensus based upon the available evidence.
And if the testable predictions are proven to be true then the claim takes on the status of being an accepted scientific theory. Saying "its just a theory" suggests you think because it is a theory it is not true.
Rational persons also know what they are talking about before they argue.
There are SEVERAL scientific theories how life came to be and I dont think any claims to be 100% sure, saying that one out of several theories is true is a lie, u just got to agree on that.

Cosmological evolution: how two elements (hydrogen and a little helium) became everything else on the elementary chart, how stars and eventually planets for, and how chemicals like proteins and lipids necessary for life to start form over a very long time.
Biological evolution: how, once the ingredients and resources are in the right proportions, locations, and configurations, incredibly simple living things can become very complex very gradually over a very long time.
Different but similar.

one of the things that makes me go apeshit(get it) is when some religious dumbass makes that statement not only because it is wrong but because this obstacle, that religions are, will not go away for quite some time which means humanity will not progress and evolve for quite some time. this scares me a little bit, which is why I am going to start the Logical Inquisition which consist of aversion therapy with brillo pads and car batteries.But jokes aside we have to do something about this.

In regards to strawman arguments, most creationists probably do believe them sincerely. They are simply repeating the misinformation handed down to them from their pastor or youth minister, individuals that they consider to be more credible then "atheistic evolutionists."

The temptation to list traits that are 100% unique to us, rather then being found in a cruder form in other species, is an alluring one. I usually try to avoid it but even I've giving to tha quest. To my knowledge, we are the only beast that reflects on prejudice/arrogance within ourselves and try to work against instincts toward xenophobia, obedience to authority, etc. Ironic, those who try to seperate man from beast deny one of the things that truly do that by not realizing their own arrogance
technologysucks 2 years ago
Actually, several animals show the beginnings of language. Vervet monkeys have specific calls for warning of specific types of predators (leopard, hawk, snake). Chimps have different calls for announcing certain foods. Dogs will use body language and vocal signals to send messages to other dogs, and elephants communicate using infrasonic rumbles, and have a specific rumble for "lion" which has been played by humans to make elephants leave the area.

I agree with techno, though. Animals do have language. Any species that can make noise through their mouth has to have some kind of language, what else would it be used for, random grunts and noises? I think what really separates us from animals is the capability to think into the future, about possibilities, and daring solutions.

basic communication, all animals do it including humans. it is sometimes the only way an autistic person can communicate.

In human development, if I remember correctly, there are 3 levels of pre-language communication (not sure what the exact term is) before we develop proper language skills:
1. Crying
2. Cooing
3. Babbling

You do realize that by making this video you are doing the same thing your accusing creationist of doing. You believe in evolution. Its a belief not a fact. Just like creationism. Its a belief. People have to have faith in it. And when you ask creationist they will tell you that is what they believe. You have just as much evidence of evolution as creationist have of creationism. I personally believe in a combo of the two.
razieltov 2 years ago
It is a fact. In fact, it's lots of facts, all supported by evidence. Saying creationism and science are on the same epistemological footing is to misunderstand what is a valid reason to believe a proposition, and what is an invalid reason.
It is not faith. Similarly, it is not faith that lets us assume that if we let go of an object, it will fall to the ground. We have formed our belief in gravity and evolution on testable evidence. Faith is an excuse to believe the irrational without evidence

Ah, no razieltov. It is not a belief in the same way u classify religious belief.
"You have just as much evidence of evolution as creationist have of creationism".
Incredibly, flat out wrong. The only "proof" creationsists have is a 2000 yr old BOOK i.e. does not even satisfy the criteria of evidence. Evolution has millions of factual evidence, ranging from DNA similarities to fossil evidence, and from so many different fields of science, you'd have to be WILLFULLY ignorant to ignore it.
AcquiredKnowledge 2 years ago
No, Evolution is a fact that has evidence to back it up. Creationism is a belief that he has no evidence to go with it besides personal beliefs and experiences. If you say people believe in evolution, it is like saying people believe in gravity or germ theory. Its not in the same league as religion.
ZergInfestedChrist 2 years ago 4
I don't think you understand. There is two types of evolution. Current evolution which simply means change over time. Like Cockroaches. They change over time. Or why we have different species of felines. Then there is a common ancestor theory of evolution. There is still no actual evidence of that. There may be some circumstantial evidence but even that won't fly in court.
razieltov 2 years ago
You after thinking about it, you people are extremely closed minded. You have done absolutely zero actual research on this topic. I actually have a degree in biology so I know a little about this topic.
What i am trying to say is that you can't be 100% certain that evolution is true or creationism. You people act like your God. That only you know the answer. Like I said before I believe in a combination of the two. But you people are sick and depraved with your closed minds.
razieltov 2 years ago
I think is all the way around. Ok fine you believe in both, creation and evolution. See being a creationist means being closed minded, because they flat out deny the Theory of Evolution and they only use scientific facts that agree with their beliefs, but the ones that go against them are "lies". So there, that's being closed minded. I can be 100% sure that evolution is true, but I can't be 100% sure that there's a God (most likely not).

Thundermonk99 2 years ago
your statements made sense up to the point where you stated that there was just as much evidence for creationism as for evolution. Of course everything is a matter of faith, TO SOME DEGREE. However, the doubt we have regarding evolution is not nearly as high as creationism. Frankly, to call it faith is dwelling on a tiny bit of uncertainty which is almost negligible. The lack of evidence for creationism is NOT negligible.

Some very serious arguments there, they need more money to fund such a theory but I'm open to it.

I've never understood their "I'm not a monkey!". I share ancestral link with lions, tigers, horses and many other beautiful animals who also have a vertebrae. The raw material that made me came from star dust, and that not something to be ashamed of. So creationist, instead of yelling im not a monkey, say "See that lion, horse, panther" we share a very distant ancestor link and our basic elements that make us up were born in the stars. Isn't better then just "i came from a monkey"

Yes, but no rational person thinks things are true because "some scientist" says so. They think things are probably true because the scientific community comes to a general consensus based upon the available evidence.
And if the testable predictions are proven to be true then the claim takes on the status of being an accepted scientific theory. Saying "its just a theory" suggests you think because it is a theory it is not true.
Gravity is a "just a theory" too.
morganbath 2 years ago
Rational persons also know what they are talking about before they argue.
There are SEVERAL scientific theories how life came to be and I dont think any claims to be 100% sure, saying that one out of several theories is true is a lie, u just got to agree on that.
