The redneck strike again.

[Little Rik]

How are you defining consciousness? How are humans as a species more conscious today when we still have wars, religions, ridiculous superstitions and have exchanged fairy abductions for alien abductions etc.? The things that drove our ancestors still drive us today.

Consciousness without spirituality can be very very dangerous.
With more consciousness you get more awareness of your potential
That however does not means that you will use such a potential in the right way.
The industrial revolution of the recent past and the more efficient
ways of killing more people than in the past are both due to an increase in consciousness.
Without spirituality you are in the hands of the two opposite forces
(positive and negative or yin and yang).
Spirituality is 100% positive and 0% negative so only consciousness+ spirituality lead to real progress.
Consciousness without spirituality may or may not lead to progress
as well as regress.

Let's say that Ötzi's nervous system really was subtly different to ours and those tattoo marks prove that there was a form of acupuncture treatment back then. His health problems, which were revealed by the studies, show that the treatment didn't work. This goes against your idea that acupuncture was more effective a few thousand years ago because people had different nervous systems.

How would you know the previous health situation
of Otzi?
He could have had previous health problem so severe
that nothing would work.
Who told you that acupuncture was the panacea for
incurable diseases?

Meditation without a mantra is no meditation.
You can call it contemplation but not meditation.

What are you talking about? This is just nonsense, Buddhists do most of their meditation without mindlessly repeating some nonsensical phrases, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anapanasati Perhaps you using your "intuition" again? You call your beliefs spiritualism, but really you are nothing more than a religious fanatic, denying reality to justify your own messed up beliefs.

You are absolutely ridiculous.
What people know today about Buddha come from religious dogmas.
If i would follow your logic i would hear you say that the rosary and
the mass is what Christ was teaching when in fact Christ never teach
that and he was even against such rituals.
You haven't got a clue what meditation is all about.
You never practice tantric meditation and you wouldn't know that
with the inhaling and exhaling there got to be a sound or mantra.
Every vibration in the universe has a sound so when you breath you
also produce a sound whether you are aware or not.
In the tantric meditation this awareness get deeper and deeper
as your meditation get stronger.
You have two choices James.
Or you get real and experience this practice so you can judge
with your own experience or you keep on masturbating your brain
into believing what religions and wiki say.

More fanatical ravings with a few straw men thrown in there. All an omnivore is, is an animal with physiological adaptations to be able to eat both meat and plants. It says NOTHING about what we should do. Do you get it? You admitted our intestines are shorter than herbivores, and are the same length as most omnivores. That makes us omnivores. It does not mean we should eat animals though.

Before you come down with this garbage you should explain why the
the human beings CAN NOT deal with saturated fats, cholesterol
and toxin while omnivore animals can.

Very few Greeks among the Greek population and among
the global population knew.
Does this means that the exception is the rule?

So they were somehow different to everyone else? How do you know? More evidence of your "intuition"

You got stuck in the usual dogma once again.
We usually say.........THE GREEKS as if all the GREEKS behave in the same way when in reality only less of 1% of Greeks had this knowledge.
There is no need to use intuitional knowledge to know this.
The history tell us.

So you have failed to address my point. If there were changes, then what changes are these? what genes were altered? You don't know because you don't understand even simple scientific concepts. Your arguments lack any reasoning beyond your own idiotic "intuitions". You are a religious fanatic who has spent too much time meditating and not enough reading books.

You don't need intuition to understand how the humans evolved.
For a million years nothing much happened.
It is only in the last 15000 years that the things started moving
and it is in the last few hundred years that they started moving even faster.
As i said yesterday this is due to the avalanche effect.
