Extinction, Evolution & Related Stuff
“…we are the single surviving species. Our existence is not secure. Just like everything else, we can be extinct too.” - Meave Leakey, of the National Museums of Kenya.
Thanks, Leakey. I will sleep deeply and soundly tonight, courtesy of you. 
Call me a Luddite if you will, but don’t you just love how these scientists can discover a piece of a femur of something like a human, or maybe a skull, and after studying that for a bit they can tell you what kind of humanoid creature from the past it was from, what it used to eat, where it used to live, who it slept with and how it behaved? Its so fantastic that its laughable. Ok, it may really have happened like that… or it might NOT! It may well have been totally different!
What I want to know is, how come they locked up Miss Cleo? I’m not done yet! Click the link below to continue reading this post please…
After all, these scientists are telling you all about creatures that lived 60, 000 years ago, and Miss Cleo is telling you about your brother who died last year… Who stands more chance of knowing about whom, thats all I’m asking… Bwoy, if I could sound as confident and offer as fact the things that I had deduced based on such slim evidence as that, I’d rule the entire universe, I tell you!
Anyway, I seem to recall seeing in my little books when I was a kid this picture which showed the evolution of man along a time-line. The first picture you saw was of some kind of ape which looked really ape-like and moved around on all fours.
Just a bit further down the timeline was another creature which some deemed to be the missing link. It was somewhat less apelike and apparently every now and again it would take a few steps in the upright position before resuming its travel on all fours.
Following on from that creature was what they called neanderthal man, then cro-magnon man and finally modern man. I’m sure some of you remember this illustration from back when we were kids, and when evolution was the biggest buzzword and the ‘big bang’ wasn’t a term used for the hottest sex you had ever had.
Basically, what they were suggesting was that over millions of years, man evolved from an ape to what he is now, passing through the missing link phase, then through the neanderthal stage, then through the cro-magnon phase to what he is now. At the time, this theory was pushed really hard and the knowledgeable minds back then had us almost believing that this was fact! Creation theology was just a pile of bullshit!
So I’m browsing along and I come across this choice tidbit : “Neandertals not our ancestors”, the headlines scream. Well, go read it for yourself if you like, but I think that the main point to be drawn from this article is that these scientists are just like you and I… they don’t really know anything about where we come from or how we came to be here.
Creation or evolution? Six days of toil and rest on the seventh day or the ‘Big Bang’? Who knows? Its all about what you believe, I guess…
<whispers to self>You know, I could use a big bang right about now myself!

You know what? I’ve got to go now. Thanks for dropping by, come again soon. I gone!

Well Mr. Man, I feel that evolution did occur, however, its course was guided by the Almighty.
The big bang theory is a load of shyte…..highly unlikely that something as complex as the universe could have come about via random swirling of gases and explosions etc. I agree with you regarding big bangs…save them for R&R!
Hi Mr. Man-You’re just too funny-but Miss Cleo should’a know seh dem was going to lock her up from before they knew they were going to lock her up. Who knows where we came from-evolution or creation. I believe in the evolution theory. Pleae, no cards or letters on this.
Have a great day.
Incidentally, saw a documentary on Nat. Geo. Channel this weekend. Some anthropologist took on a DNA mapping project…taking blood and cheek samples from people all over the planet…in an attempt to find a common ancestor for modern day Homo sapiens.
It seems we are all descendants of some Sandwelling tribe in Afirca…they showed some of these peoples. Wha u tink?
Whats a sandwelling tribe. and is that San dwelling tribe or San something. Were these bushmen? Another name for the bushmen is San according to what I read in my Wilbur Smith novels.
MB, they said Sandwelling tribe. I don’t know if that spell San Dwelling or what. So me seeit, so me gie it here so. Essentially, seems like a tribe of Africans who live off the land in an isolated area in the desert.
Lets face facts, if God made us - which I believe, then could he not have made the big bang. Maybe that was how he decided the earth should be formed. As to the ape as our ancestors - we seem to be related biologically to ape….maybe Adam was rather hairy….Who can tell. Interest thinking though!
