the idea we evolved from a single celled organism over millions of years into apes and then into humans is about as believable as a man in the sky creating all this.

man needs to believe in a creator and an afterlife. to think that we are only here for 70-90 years and then we die is too much to bear for the weak minded. we need there to be more. i guess its because we are so much better than any other organism on the planet. gimme a fucking break.

That always depends on if the context in which scientific theories exist is understood.
This is neither the case with creationists nor scientific positivists.

Is the theory of evolution scientifically valid and factual?
I hate the State.

In the context of a biological theory, yes.

Maybe you can explain how evolution produced conscience and self awareness in humans.

Hint: Scientists have not come up with the answer. I doubt you are any smarter.

THIS WILL BE proven in the future because scientis, engineers technology  ect will replicate or learn how to reproduce the human brain...then these brains will be put into complex machines that in therory will become self aware or have conciousness....they may simply just clone the human brain to????????,but either way you will have machines that will be self aware....see SKYNET HAS BECOME SELF AWARE ...same concept.  we just dont have the technology yet...but eventually through science and new technology we will find that   a GOD  persay really does not exsist and they will prove it..

Unless we get hit by a big ass meteor AGAIN and everything gets reset AGAIN. and everything has to re-evlove.

hopefully next time no one writes any religius books lol.

Never said anything different. If you think you can explain what a human is by means of a biological theory, you're wrong though.

Last I checked, a human being is an ape. You want to dispute that?

we're all apes floating around on big rock in space.

actually we might just be a virus. do you see what he have done to this planet? We might just be a desciece. "earth" and "space" might just be an atom on something ALOT bigger. wtf do we know? space is endless..

what an atom is to us, could be what we are to something else.

Because awareness can neither be explained nor reproduced by natural science.

A human being is an ape only in one aspect: biologically.

They can doubt macroevolution all they want. Still doesn't prove their "theory" of an omnipotent deity creating everything. The biggest evidence burden is on them.

Another funny thing is that humans are claimed to be the most evolved species on earh
I dont agree with that. we're evloved in Different way.

If we were the most evolved we wouldnt need TOOLS and WEAPONS to kill much larger animals our body would have been Evolved enough to do it by itself, using only your hands.

We can freeze to death in cold climat unless we put clothes on..
We would die in hot temprature due to dehydration.

Which ALOT of animals could handle.

So evolved in Another way is the key  ;D

Put every animal on the planet in the same Big ass place and lets see who survives the longest, it sure as hell wouldnt be humans lol.

But we do adapt and manipulate our surroundings which enables us to inhabit almost every piece of land on earth which is pretty unique. I'd say we're definitely the most evolved but most adapted in a given situation? No. That honor goes to microorganisms.

I guess adapted would be a better word maby. What I define as a evolved "race" is what you can accomplish when everything is taken away from you.. and its just YOU left.

Im not claiming to be educated nor smart.. Just open minded. And not a sheep.

everyone should decide for themself what to belive in but OPTIONS should be out there. and nothing should be FORCED on you from a young age (religion)
