What do you think about human evolution?

Do you think that we are becoming greater as a species, or worse? Do you think we're evolving anymore? What traits of ancient humans do we still have, and what traits have we forgotten? Would we be able to live as they did now?

Not believing in evolution is just ignorence or a choice to just not look at facts. just look at out life span compared to 100 years ago it's not the same-doesn't that mean something? we are adapting ie evolving?

Exactly. You can choose not to believe in Darwin's theories (most of which have been proven wrong) because you believe that God created everything exactly as it is right now, but you cannot deny that things do adapt, which is the actual definition of evolution as it is in the scientific world today. Thanks!

That's true too. But do you think we may be relying too heavily on technology to keep us strong and safe?

So do you believe that human beings were created exactly as we are right at this period in time? Same height, same lifespan, same strengths and weaknesses? I'm mostly just talking about how we have changed as a people in the last five or six hundred years...you have to admit that things are not the same with us as they used to be.

haha nice post :) well i heard from someone's weird theory that humans are better physically in the past. their immune system is built to fight of diseases as they are able to live almost naked without getting pneumonia or something. i think its actually the other way around, humans today are far more built for tough, considering millions of bacterial mutations, we still thirve :) probably in ancient people were to live today, they'd die of infection in just a few days :) haha hope my response is of relevance to anyone :) thanks

That's a good point. We are managing to keep up with all the other crap going on around us. Thanks so much for your response!

I don't believe in evolution. I have yet to see any real proof. I see only a few bones and the rest is imitation. I think we are going back wards. Look at the way we as humans behave. For example look at the crime rate. we are constantly at war. We are very cruel to each other. I don't see any improvement.. I agree that we are getting smart with all the technology but what does that prove.
