Maybe I should just ask you about the origin and ultimate destiny of homo sapiens and then address your particular view.

How did we get here and where are we going as homo sapiens?

The shark doesn't beat up the female shark and threaten to kill her if she doesn't mate with him, and the same if he thinks she might go to the police afterwards. That seems to be a human peculiarity. Rape isn't merely "forceful copulation", it's about power and dominance for the most part.

I'd imagine that we might become extinct one day, much like Neanderthals did. Bleak destiny, I know, but reality wasn't nice to the dinosaurs either.

How did we get here? That's a good question. I personally got here because my parents had sex and then my mother gave birth to me. Pretty straight forward, but I'm glad you're taking the time to consider these things.

And their parents? And their parent's parents?

I want to know what your view is regarding the explanation of the first instance of biological life on this planet. How did life originate on this planet?

How do you think it did?

I can't say what happened for certain, but we have several working theories, including the idea that perhaps aliens seeded the planet. Pick one, but I don't recommend toting it as infallible truth. I sure don't.

What does that have to do with fucking praying?

There are plenty of threads around on the subject. Use the search feature.

I don't know, I don't need to know and my not knowing does not make me beholden to any quick and easy god-did-it theory.
