They organize for tactical hunts surrounding the faster monkeys and attack the prey while the main party waits on the edges and kill as the the smaller monkeys try to escape. Man is the supposedly superior great ape due to opposing thumbs and the ability to reason, and lo and behold chimpanzees have the same ability ( at a lesser level ) to do the same things. Our family tree is amazing isn't it?

The Hindu don't describe it as a "fall from grace", They say that God was one and wished to become many, so the universe came into existence, with a drop of "god" manifest in every living creature as a consciousness. We are divine in origin and we are destined to return to that divinity in this lifetime or in one some incarnation in the future. Our gregarious nature as a species and our tendency to ascend rather than descend is evidence of our inner nature. A newborn is a consciousness within a body that develops a mind as the intermediary between it's attention and it's body. we are stuck with that mind till we die, and it ends with the body's death. The key understanding is that we are not ensouled bodies, we are embodied souls.

I haven't heard a theoretical theorist that knows precisely what happened at the moment of the big bang any more than you or I. the theory, like any scientific theory, simply tests what we can observe using the strict scrutiny of the scientific method. we've observed evidence from a few milliseconds AFTER the event occurred but none at the exact time of the bang or of course before.

jrbogie1949 Oxnard, CA 66, joined Mar. 2009 online now!	perhaps this explanation of what a scientific theory actually is will help; Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causal elements responsible for a particular natural phenomenon, and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (e.g., electricity, chemistry, astronomy). Scientists use theories as a foundation to gain further scientific knowledge, as well as to accomplish goals such as inventing technology or curing disease. Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge. This is significantly different from the common usage of the word "theory", which implies that something is a conjecture, hypothesis, or guess (i.e., unsubstantiated and speculative).

Right? i'm not going to relate the relatively small understanding that I possess on the theory. i'm simply not qualified. as I suggested earlier, there is an abundance of writings on the internet and elsewhere by folks far more credentialed than I on the topic. the very best in helping my understanding is Stephen hawking's, "the universe in a nutshell." herein lies the problem with discussions on science in a religious forum. nobody is particularly more credible than anybody else. it's a dating site after all. as such it's not for me to decide plausibility other than relatively thinking in my own mind. for instance, from everything I've read I find IN MY MIND that the big bang is more plausible than my reading of genesis about creation. you feel otherwise, of course.

I didn't expect you to be an expert on the matter but when you say there is "evidence" for something I would think you should reasonably be able to say what it is and reference it. And being a reasonable person I would think also that you should be able to respond in a reasonable manner to what I said/asked instead of bowing out as you have. Give it a shot and respond to my post comments/questions as best you can. No, I don't believe in the "mythical" story of creation in Genesis. [Edited 1/25/2016 12:18:34 PM ]

No, I don't believe in the "mythical" story of creation in Genesis. sure. here goes but you'd be better served to go to a more reliable source.. as I understand physicists have been able to measure the temperature of what they call the cosmic background radiation and by doing so certain matter, helium for instance occupied 20 something percent of the universe at 1 millisecond after the bang and has remained constant until today.

Well that's a hypothesis it would appear centered on supporting the Big bang theory but if there was no big bang what would the "cosmic background radiation" (which I understand is pretty much uniform) indicate/evidence? As I have read we really don't know what 95% of the universe (dark matter/dark energy) is but we "theorize" and "publicize" that all that we don't even know what it is came from a infinitesimally small and dense point 13.8 billion years ago. Amazing!

First off on another thread you said "Scientific theories are testable" and I replied.. "Well that certainly makes the Big Bang "Theory" a HYPOTHESIS. Secondly, To say scientists "haven't made any claims regarding the Big Bang" is ridiculous. There are many TV programs depicting the Big Bang occurring and what happened milliseconds afterwards and it is presented as scientific FACT which it is not.

I replied to your testable post. you're in a circular argument now as you repeat yourself. i'll bow out now until you can come up with a different approach in making whatever point you're trying to make. it makes sense that you seem to get the bulk of your "learning" from tv programs. when you're ready for some real learning i'd suggest you might want to go to whatever sources the producers may have used in creating what seems to be misinforming you as regards to what scientists claim. or if you can reference here which scientists have made the claims you speak of it'll be a slam dunk for me to follow up.

Sorry, but I think the History Channel shows on the BB are reliable presentations of what the scientific community believes and these shows are presented as Fact and they are not fact or proven at all or even tested. I'm not in a circular argument with myself but with you. What "test" has proven the BB theory? What possible test could prove the BB theory? If you know then state it. If you don't know say so and stop being evasive and condensing.

ludlowlowell Panama City, FL 63, joined Feb. 2008 online now!	I think the laws of mathematics, and certain laws of physics like the law of gravity have been proved. Jr, actually my objection to the evolution hypothesis is not religious---the Cathokic Church has never condemned that hypothesis and, if I am not mistaken is taught as a hypothesis in Catholic schools (I went to public schools myself). Many good Catholics velieve in it. I don't categorically say it is false. I say that I don't believe that the very scanty scientific evidence for is enough for anybody to really believe in it. I say many people believe in it only as an excuse not to believe in God. Do I opine ("opine" is a better word than "believe" in this situation) that various species change over time, including homo sapiens? Yes, most defininetly. Do I opine that homo sapiens evolved from another species? No, I don't. I say with Clara Pellar in the old eighties commercial---where's the beef?

asanb Sanbornton, NH 60, joined Jul. 2012 online now!	Why do you think any of these questions of intellectual meat matter at all? The only way to really know the answer is to raise yourself to another perspective, one of a higher consciousness where conjecture is replaced by seeing the truth for yourselves. Other than that it is all vain intellectual wrestling, sound and fury signifying nothing. Waste your lives arguing with the neighborhood dogs over the existence and veracity and number of angels dancing on a pin head. It's the same argument. Does your theoretical understanding bring you peace?
