Re: Philosophical Question about Human Evolution 1of2

Response to the question: what will humanity be like in 5,000yr or so? Part 1 of 2 since there's no more 10+min vids, which I just found out as this is my second video and the first over 10min.
Part 2 has recommendations and synopsis of TED talks.

actually around 5000 years ago... ppl used to be insanely smart, cause they lived around 900 years, and they were upwards of 12ft... After the canopee got destroyed we lived less and less, and now we started climbing again, because of NUTRITION... barely any1 makes it to 100 these days. Weve actually became dumber... we wouldnt be able to build the pyramids today.. thats 1 simple example.. there are many more

[Astrosteed]

Huh? people long ago used typically died by their mid twenties to thirties. They didn't have any of the good medicine we have now. We've become dumber? No we're just as dumb as ever, but we have an accumulated wealth of knowedge. The structures we build now put the pyramids to shame - check out the Luxor in Las Vegas.

Let's hope so... actually hoping is about as useful as praying... let's get out there and do something about it.

Dude

I hope you are a teacher. You explain things so well. Even if I don't agree with it, it's good food for thought. It holds my attention.

.........Kent Hovind is a fucking liar how do you people not realize this.He is feeding off of the minds of the ignorant. Every single thing he says in his videos can be scientifically, logically, and, in terms of common sense, disproven. Don't believe in bulshit.

funny u should say cnn polls and statisticks show that atheism will be gone since religion has increased and atheist have converted to christianity because they have used carbon dating to prove evolution wrong. lol have a nice day

[justinjm]

Thats nice and all, but if that were true... Well we'd have a heck of a lot more evidence then what to make a few hunches off of. Seriously?! Why didn't they preserve their knowledge for the people of the future? Probably because they weren't smart, and they lived for about 30 years or so.... We live a lot longer now days.

To SnakeCIA1: I was just in an optimistic mood.

[SnakeCIA1]

nope statistics show religion growing atheists are the minority

[nicolatwo]

People will be smarter in 5000 years. Religion will be gone.
