Think about it.

What say ye?

My opinion....Man would have become Sasquatch/Apes if left alone to evolve

Why do you think this.

Besides what do you mean "if left alone to evolve."

Who/ what is stopping man from evolution?

Why would further evolution lead to man becoming Big - Foot

Man is still evolving.

We are merely a species of ape, though by far the most successful reproductively and geographically, until climate change destroys us.

Optimistic aren't you

Lennycool:

No man is not evolving. Man will always be man.

Man is obviously more than an ape. We have religion and science, apes don't.

Lol. And why do you think so? Every organism is constantly evolving, adapting to suit its environment. Man is not an exception. Read more on it.

We share close to 98% of our DNA with them, so how are we much different, humans like to think we're somehow on a different scale than other animals, but the truth is only our intelligence separates us from them. Humans just have a superiority complex.

you share 80% of your DNA with a cat. You share 99% of your DNA with the bonobo, an ape. Yet you are vastly different.

Dont be an idiot. The fact that you're made of the same components doesn't mean you're the same. Computer chips are made of sand.

Climate change, food shortages, depletion of resources, super viruses, nuclear warfare, asteroid impact, etc.

Yes, yes, and 70% with the slug, etc.. Perfectly fits the narrative of common descent.

If we could bring the population down to about 1.5 to 2 billion that would be ideal for survival, in my opinion. And we may actually achieve that by the end of this century.

. . . .Don't mean to sound all conspiracy-theoryish here - but many believe leading world governments are already working on advanced plans for drastic population reduction. . . .

I am not a conspiracy theorist and have not seen any evidence of this, however this could be true. The only problem is that standard ways of doing population reduction (diseases) cannot be easily controlled and could end up killing the people who started the plague to begin with.

Change is the only CONSTANT in the universe.
Everything evolves and is evolving.
Gosh

Lol.
I expect Deepsight to ask you why you are so sure that apes don't have a religion.
After all, you've never had a Town Hall meeting with apes before. Have you ?

DeepSight:

Yeah.
We have almost annulled, through scientific innovations, nature's means of keeping balance in the general Ecosystem.
Obviously, the Earth cannot endure uncontrolled population growth in the foreseeable long term.

A natural, cosmic or man- made intervention is almost inevitable.

Why the mendacity?

In the first place, you have definitely had many Town Hall meetings with Apes, since you would consider human apes.

In the second place, if humans are apes, then clearly, apes do have Religion and Science.

In the third place, in the discussion referred, I made a clear distinction with regard to mere living in tandem with the purpose of creation as worship as against formalized religion. Unserious fellow that you are, of course you try to conflate to deceive.

Enjoy.

Who's being an idiot again? I didn't say we were the same, I said we're closely related, 99% is considered close isn't it? If humanity were to end for some reason, I'm pretty sure the primates would pick up the mantle if left to thrive. We like to think that we're completely different from these animals, that God made this world for humans alone, but the truth is, this shit wasn't planned, the earth isn't meant for humans(or any other animal), 65 million years ago the dinosaurs reigned supremed, they thought the earth was meant for them until an asteroid wiped them out. The same could happen to mankind, and 65 million years from now, evolved primates will be studying our skeletons, and works.

No. Organisms maintain their niches and preserve their morphology as encoded in their DNA. They do not change over time except in a very limited sense where they have variations.

Lol. And did you read that off an awake magazine? I wonder why Christians will continue to argue with scientific facts, like they somehow know better. You disregard the facts presented by scientist all because of a book written by primitive men. The book that says everything on earth was created in six days, and that all humans descended from adam and eve, the book that says a flood happened long ago and wiped out everything on earth, leaving only a few humans and the male and female of every land animal on earth, that managed to survive on a wooden boat for 150 days in latitudes that are higher than the top of mount Everest. abeg go read better book jor

Please, how does similarity simply propose evolution??

That we share close to 98% of or DNA, must that mean evolution to you?

Why can't we call similarity "similarity" instead of calling similarity "evolution"?

who told you all this? What evidence do you have?

You go on to talk about facts like you have any factual evidence.

And you think your story is reasonable?

Your story says the earth with its specialized niches and parameters of existence came about because two rocks hit each other then water suddenly appeared, probably flowing in from the sky and then microbes lived and died coming up from nowhere apparently then after billions of years you came about typing nonsense speculation on Nairaland and taking the baseless and unsupported historical opinions of men as fact.

You nearly equate men and apes, basing your rattling on DNA similarity, ignoring of the very nitty-gritty of molecular biology and genetics and equating your mental and transcendent consciousness to the chimp like creature with empty eyes that you look at for entertainment in the zoo.

How unfortunate.
Let me give you good news oga. You're more, much more than an ape. Ponder this knowledge and break free from blind contusion. It takes a lot of indoctrination to look at yourself and the world and conclude your humanity isn't far fetched from base animality. What quality of life do you live? You're looking at a man made computer screen right now.

Can you not break away from gullibility and think by yourself for yourself on certain issues? How will you claim apes for ancestry and kinship?

Your post above reveals your ignorance about basic maters of science. Read a book other than the bible and be free from ignorance.
