Everything change with the time but the change is not the same for everybody so it is obvious that despite the fact that we have similarity with primates we in the past took a different course that lead us to where we are now.
I was born in a cold place but now after living in a warm climate my body would suffer a lot if i had to go back in that cold place.
The same apply to everything that affect body-mind.
The changes make us steer the course, sometime for the better sometime for the worse.
Quote:Don't be so bloody arrogant about people who don't live the same lifestyle as you.
Nothing really to do with arrogance.
It is a fact that the most innovative people have most of the time come from the rank of spirituality and very rarely from omnivores.
Shiva was the first spiritualist to give positive directions to humanity.
He teach how to progress physically-mentally and spiritually.
In a society where men were taking women with the brutal force he teach the marriage system.
He teach the 7 notes to play music and turn a brutal society into a sweet one.
He teach Ayurvedic medicine to heal diseases and yoga to progress in all spheres.
Leonardo DaVinci, Einstein and so many other follow and the list is too long to write.
As you can see i judge from a point of view of what meat can do and spirituality can do, all the rest is irrelevant.
Quote:You're the one who said that nature never makes mistakes.
Natural phenomena are not nature mistakes.
Everyone who born is due to die and this apply also to planets and stars.
Consciousness never born so she will never die even if and asteroid will kill the body so nothing is really lost.
Quote:If it's all cleverly planned, why start out with dinosaurs, kill them off and then start all over again evolving little mammals? You might as well evolve a species of dinosaur to get a brain equal to that of humans. I don't see why an ape is superior to a dinosaur.
It is all about consciousness more or less evolved.
The physical size of the creature mean absolutely nothing.
It remind me of the advent of the micro-technology.
The parts get smaller and smaller and at the same time carry more and more information so although the brain of a human may be smaller than the one of an animal it can carry more consciousness and so is the case of an ape compared to a dinosaur.
