how many fonline people believes in church
Gruik:
In any cases, religion now is fucked up and no one can say different... People kill each other for it, begin wars, close their minds, slow progress, and this since 2000 years. For previous religions, like Greeks', Vikings', Asians', Egyptians', I don't really know 'cause they come from very far... Catholicism and Islam like we know it (and few others from them, I'm not very interessed in...) are based on the same crazy story of a crazy man, only interpretation changes. Well, nobody think the same way and there'll always be somebody to cry about this mess, and I don't really care because it's not a problem for me... In our lives we already got too much problems to care about that, if you can't think by yourself and understand that logic and science are the only explanations, it's your problem.
But don't misunderstand me, I will never criticize somebody's opinion, as I said I don't care about religion, I respect others' beliefs.
I believe in nothing like this, but unlike I read on firsts page, it doesn't mean I "believe in nothing". I believe in me and try to believe in others and it's hard enough to not complicate my life with unexplicable (or soon-explicable, or I don't know what) things.

I don't understand evolution? It's you that thinks there was no reason to evolve intelligence instead of a bigger/stronger dick. When our species was too large to hide from predators all the time (such as rodents and whatnot) and too small/weak to become top of the food chain we had to do something different than everything else so we evolved more complex/useful brains. Please don't say i don't understand evolution and have a terrible argument that proves that your the one that's a dipshit. For example sexual selection? Giraffes have long necks so they can reach ALL of the food on the trees where they live, granted I'm not sure what you mean by sexual selection but I'm quite certain there was nothing sexual about their long necks.
Colombo:
Slave: yes, you don't understand evolution. Long neck for giraffes is realy sexy and not primarly usefull. (thats kind of new information, 5 years new or something...)
And no, that what you do is "we have higher inteligence, so why we have higher inteligence? It must have helped us to survive".
The right answer is, that higher inteligention is with close corelation with brain and our brain evolved to have good perception of deep and colors. Yeah, than in proven usefull, but inteligence was there because of evolution of brain for colour.
You don't understand evolution, like many people. There is no "we were large SO WE evolved inteligence" (and no, that is wrong answer, our survive had nothing to do with foodchain, zebras or elefants aren't on top of foodchain and don't need high inteligence) but rather "we were larger to hide and weaker to fight (what isn't true) so everything what helped group to survive AND what was already in group was propagated"
Ganado:
It's all about opposable thumbs, man. Allows us to use tools effectively.
Anyway, this argument about evolution has devolved into something that isn't related to religion at all, so it is rather pointless for this thread. We should get back to uselessly arguing our points in religion.
Slaver Snipe:
Did i state we were large so we evolved intelligence? I stated we went a different path due to the fact that we were NOT the largest/strongest or a small and easily hidden animal, please actually read my posts. If we had been the biggest baddest mother fuckers on the food chain there would have been no need to develop more intelligence as of yet. Zebra's developed speed and elephants developed size, they didn't go in the direction we did. Your giraffe comment, re read the journal of evolution or whatever it is you do, the only thing scientists believe it may have to do with any type of mating is the fact that male giraffes will "fight" each other during mating season to "win" a female and those with longer necks strike more powerful blows against the others.
I'm also curious without intelligence what predator do you think humans could have overcome?
P.S.
Abe this is called off topic ;P
