theres no arguing your way out when u contemplate that god "created" this "life"

"some say we all came from monkey, lol (who created the monkey?)"




Well if we came from a monkey, perhaps the monkey came from something too? And if we call that  "thing A" than perhaps that thing "thing A" came from something too -perhaps a "thing B" and so forth and so on,  until eventually you get to the big bang spewing the "stuff" that becomes "thing Z' in the first place?......

Or Jesus......

We came from a species of monkey that no longer exists as its what we evolved into

Humans are most closely related to the great apes of the family Hominidae. This family includes orangutans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos. Of the great apes, humans share 98.8 percent of their DNA with bonobos and chimpanzees. Humans and gorillas share 98.4 percent of their DNA. Once the apes are not native to Africa however, the differences in DNA increase. Humans and orangutans share 96.9 percent of their DNA. Humans and monkeys share approximately 93 percent.

and we share 90% DNA with mice....

all living creatures share a lot of DNA similarities, doesn't make us related.

Actually, it does....any living creature found on planet Earth is from the same original "ancestor" if you go far enough back along the evolutionary chain. That we are more similar the closer the branch, is just common sense.

As for mice? Well, we've obviously come a long way since we diverged about 75 million years ago from a small, furry common ancestor.

We already know primates took the unique evolutionary path of enhanced cognition as a solution to life’s challenges. The human branch of the primate lineage merely exploited this strategy to the extreme.

We also know the mouse lineage took a very different turn, evolving efficient strategies for feeding, hiding and, most of all, producing prodigious numbers of offspring.

Funniest thing I have seen in ages is fervent anti-anything-religious physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about the concept of a three dimensional time dimension in which people would have access to the future, the past and the present all at the same time. He's so fanatically anti-religion that he forgets to mention the fact that this is hardly a new concept, and that he is basically talking about a notion that is and has been discussed in religious circles for many millennium: omnipresence.
 
I am as anti-anything religious as the next guy but deGrasse takes to an irrational level.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is someone who could be described as being an intellectual moron. He lacks the self awareness to even realize this though.

LOL you might want to stick to beefing with Eric...
