Sure. I'd love to know who exactly to blame for creating our misbegotten race. While I'm reasonably certain we are just hairless mutant monkey people, if someone ever finds proof some god/alien made us this way, then I'll be all for cursing them out loud also.

I would like to know exactly how humans came to be cuz then it can disprove or prove almost all of the major religions. but truthfully it doesn't matter to me that much cuz I'm already here on earth, so knowing how I came to be is just trash. I'm more concerned about my future than my past

Well, it's not something I sit around and think about all the time, but I suppose that it does. Personally, I think that God created humans, but I also don't think that one day poof! suddenly there were humans standing around, walking, talking on the earth. I think that God made us evolve from apes because did the Bible ever specifically say that He created us just like that? Or did it say how He created us? I think we evolved slowly over time into the species that we are today, but I still believe that God created us. Anyway, that's my own personal theory. Sorry I can't explain it any better here! Take it or leave it as you will.

It doesn't usually affect me in daily life, so no.

For me it actually matters a lot. There was a time in the past when I couldn't even go to sleep during nights because I couldn't figure it out how the heck did we all come to exist. I often gen unaware of my surroundings because I tend to think about a lot of things or try to imagine what would it feel like if a saw a thing for the first time that we humans accept as normal or take for granted. (ex: I was walking down the street and saw a stray dog and suddenly started to imagine that that was the first time I ever saw that species of animal. So I started to see the dog as a weird creature and finally laughed at myself after getting used to its image again.)

Oh yeah and :



You forgot to ask yourself where did the apes come from.
As far as I know the Bible says that Adam was made from soil and Eve out of one of his ribs but I don't believe in fairytales. Just try to compare human tissue with the structure of the soil and see if there's any similarity. Oh yeah, and we still have the dinosaur problem in mind. What were Adam and Eve doing while the dinosaurs were on the Earth more than 200 million years ago? Running around the apple tree in Heaven?

Nope, it would be nice to know but I don't really care if I never find out.

Yes, I'm very interested in finding how we came about, it's quite fascinating and strange, I think, to consider the exact roots of globalizing technology-wielding humans. Where did we begin? Also, the primitive "human" species are really fascinating- how they grew up, what societies they created, tools. If we ever did find out (for sure), I think that would be so cool. As far as its impact on religion goes, I think that major overall religions hold the view that evolution is false, anyway, (although of course some religious people believe in evolution, because anyone's free to worship however they want) and that won't change if and when the true origin of humans is determined.

I tend to analyze the things I see in a different context; the way I see it is that using the human knowledge to assume that things "exist," nothing exists. Everything anyone has known and will ever come to know is not real, due to the fact that before creatures exited that could talk and give names to thing, "nothing" in fact existed. In the end, it all comes down to, its only green because some guy some where decided what green was, and bingo, its green,that, and the fact the time doesnt really exist, its merely a way for higher leveling beings to tell the difference between what was and what is.

Not really I'm much more interested in other animals.

I believe in existentialism, in which before we are born we have no essence or meaning and we give meaning to it by our choices in life. Therefore I don't believe that my origin as far back as the existence of humans really matters to me, I can still enjoy life without knowing it.

WE are all the same, now let's move on to something more important. Instead of debating of where the origin of human is, we should be more concerned about the present and the future.

Ever think that maybe both science and religion are both correct, but at the same time very wrong. Certain parts of religion can be proven by science. Maybe monkeys were made from dirt, and then whatever god/gods you believe in made the monkeys into people. Seeing as how green is only "green" because we say it is green, anything can make sense if you put enough thought into.

In other words, it shouldn't really matter, because in the end, we all live and we all die. How you came to be shouldn't be as important as who you are now.

I really don't care. Not that I'm not interested in finding out more about this as the science evolves.

i know there's nothing change or happen if i care....ya for me human doesnt evolves from ape...i do care y we are ape before?I dun think human is the same as animal...like turtle or crocodiles that evolves from dinosours time....Adam is living in heaven during dinosours time...of coz he is running around the apple tree in Heaven...actually not apple tree but khudi tree...

Not unless we all originated from a species that's a walking time bomb that will all explode in the next 70 years in a bloody, gory, sticky mess. That just makes me want to not even bother cleaning my room.
