[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 5124546, member: 2193"] Well, I'm certainly no expert on the subject but people a lot smarter than me have made some theories to explain this. Who is to say they are right or wrong? I lean more towards the science and evidence. I have a hard time following any all knowing and all powerful "god" that allows all the injustices and horrible things that occur in the world. The instruction manual you refer to basically boils down to "be a good person and don't harm other living things." I try to live that life daily, certainly not always successfully, so I don't need to subscribe to a certain set of rules laid out by the hundreds of organized religions in the world and the tens of thousands of gods they follow (which one is [U]The[/U] God?). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-debate-hawkings-idea-that-the-universe-had-no-beginning-20190606/[/URL] And yes, the University of Copenhagen - Faculty of Science research released earlier this year indicates that we're more like primitive fishes that once believed. In a summary of the study, they state, "Lungs and limbs have been thought of as key innovations that came with the vertebrate transition from water to land. But in fact, the genetic basis of air-breathing and limb movement was already established in our fish ancestor 50 million years earlier, according to a recent genome mapping of primitive fish. The new study changes our understanding of a key milestone in our own evolutionary history." [/QUOTE]
