Pascal's Wager Revisited

[Iroscato]

Come back to me when "dolphins and some apes" decide to study humans and publish their results in scientific journals.

I think it's supremely arrogant to believe that we are the pinnacle of 'creation'. We are a relatively new species, imagine what we could be like if he had been around as long as sharks. And imagine life on other planets. We are only as smart as we need to be, that's one of the ways evolution works. We aren't good with really small things, we can't actually imagine or conceive an atom. And we aren't really good with large things, we can't really imagine or conceive the size of our country, let alone our planet, let alone our solar system, let alone our galaxy, let alone our universe. Imagine a creature that could really comprehend the size of the universe.
I'll leave you with this: 
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein

Exactly this.
We as specimens are woefully inefficient in many ways as it is. We suffer back pain mainly because a bipedal stance is still relatively new and our biology hasn't quite caught up yet. We have redundant organs like the appendix, which at some point in our past may have helped in digesting tough materials, but now its only function is to occasionally try to murder the shit out of us at random points in our lives.
Come to think about it...Datc, what are your views on evolution...?
