Chimps Worship Their Supreme Being: The Origin of Religion
Loading...
Uploaded by nuvolari5 on Jun 22, 2007
Do chimps act in ways that resemble our religious behavior? Since we share at least 98.5% of our DNA with them, perhaps it would be surprising if they did not. Watch this clip of wild chimps as they show subservience to their Supreme Being (aka dominant male) by kneeling in "prayer" in front of Him and how they react to thunder and lightning just as our ancestors did to their thunder and lightning Gods. Oh, and by the way, you will see proof that "bling" to show our status is not a human invention—more evidence of our genetic/behavioral debt to our nearest animal ancestors. Enjoy!

You're clearly not educated enough to discuss the subject. Please, go outside, and shoot at some beer cans and PLEASE don't reproduce.

@BarKonpah I'm guessing you are Jewish? The passage is Leviticus 14:2-52. Don't accuse me of switching 'parts of it' around, what a silly accusation. When passages like Deuteronomy 22:28-29 state that a rape victim should marry the person who raped them then i'm not inclined to take your book of fairy tales very seriously. Why would I when it is filled with passages as repugnant as that?

@UnholyMagpye I'd like to see your source passage where it says to cure a leper "requires" incantations and sacrifices (Lev. 14?) From what I've read of Torah, I see lepers were exiled until they were better, and the sacrifices came post-illness. Quite pointless healing that which is physically clean.
I hate to revive, but next time you summarize (and bash) a block of text: read it, understand its content and say what it means, not what it'd mean if you switched two parts of it :P

@S2000XC Dictionary definition of supreme: Highest in authority or rank
Dictionary definition of being:existance; that which exists; creature
I don't know what the heck your going on about. It sounds legit to anyone who knows what the words mean.

Very interesting and consistent with research I did a decade ago about whether ancestor veneration gave us our earliest religions and gods.

science is based on observation, religion is based on speculation.

Who the hell is Jay Glass and why is Goodall doing an intro for him? I wonder if she's seen this video because as I remember: the chimp banging the cans gained status. The chimp doing the rain dance was not a dominant chimp either.
Something fishy here.
Let me guess what the message is.
Chimps are horrrible brown-nosing slaves to intimidating jerks.
We are just like chimps.
God is an intimidating jerk.
So we should abase and prostrate ourselves to the christian god.
Am I right?
