I see you bolded the section you were trying to fix. I read that article, and I suppose that could be true.
It makes sense though, monkeys and humans having a common ancestor.
Kinda like...
HMMMMMMMMMM.
Do you agree that this is strange?

I wasn't meaning to sound as if I was questioning it. Just thinking about it and while typing it and started to see the truth through it all.
Sorry for the confusion.

It's cool. People don't like to think we've been evolving on this planet for millions of years. They can't quite grasp that their oh-so-precious-life isn't that precious at all.

Yeah dude, it's ridiculous. People are so afraid to die only because life is all they ever knew. Why doesn't someone just sit down in an operating chair, let someone stop their heart for them to die, and come back with results?!
Lol.. "What did you see while you were dead sir?"
...
"I was dead..?"

Everybody thinks they're hot shit on a silver platter.
When in reality, they're nothing but a cold turd on a paper-plate.

I prefer to think of myself as the great great great great great great....... grandson of a collection of stars. We are all made up of elements created in the death of a star. So that make me feel special. Right up till I remember "ah f%^k... so is everything else"..... It's totally badass... but not special.

I like how Wyo put it we are fortunate on a level thats astounding,just to be here ,the odds of it that you would be you and this place being what it is are insanely epic.This unfortunately has been taken into an egotisticly selfish context by to many people and pseudo transfiguered into religious dogma,It completely undermines reality and the beauty of life.
there is a common theme with all the ancient religions. do some research before you pawn off all the crap other thousands of past societies went thru it was pretty real to them enough so that their entire society FELT they had to so something to either mark the event or put it into history (generally Momentous i.e pyramids stone hedge etc) this was all before power tools the wheel etc..
people are too lazy now a days to finish reading a post
just because YOU (or our current society ) has yet to understand certain things from the past it cant be written off
History has a very similar pattern... it repeats...

I remember hearing that there was an Egyptian religion, before Christianity, which incorporated a virgin birthed messiah, born in december, along with a few other similarities that I don't remember..
But yeah, shitty lies from a bunch of people all your life? One thing I cant stand is liars.

Are you going to make sense anytime soon?? Or just keep rattling around in half circles avoiding my very direct counter to you point. I ignored your weak attempt at an intellectual insult. I thought my reply was not made in an insulting way. Now another insult. This is like talking to a priest..... Keep it up and I might take it personal.... Not only do you flatly imply I am ignorant and unread... but now I'm lazy??? Damn....
What the ancients had right is the notion that as their societies went from individual bands of hunter/gathers to loosely affiliated groups of sedentary farmers. That there had to be an accepted and upheld means to enforce the moralities required for living in large unrelated groups. These moral codes were expressed and enforced through the development of religion. You read back now and find the obvious correlation between growing populations and the growing complexity of "religion". As bands formed tribes, the religion got more complex to help cope with the new social dynamic of living with people who you were only distantly related to. As tribes formed chiefdoms, religion became more complex to deal with the dynamic of living peacefully with people you were not related to at all. As cheifdoms became states.... yet again another change in religion to not only live peacefully with people from your region but to know live peacefully with people from totally different cultural backgrounds and traditions. As States evolved into empires the religion change yet again to reflect a moral code necessary to coexist with not only all the previous people stated but now to deal with societies from different races and religious backgrounds.
Please tell me what I am not grasping here.....
