This could get interesting.

You have to note also that the more advanced cultures seem to be where there was the most change. They had to be smart to survive.

Yes it could. Which group do I ping? Both?

"You have to note also that the more advanced cultures seem to be where there was the most change. They had to be smart to survive."

I agree. I think the cold taught us how to plan and have a concept of the future. Those who didn't plan when things were good(warm), didn't survive when things were bad(cold).

The "Garden of Eden" sounds rather warm to me-just wearing fig leaves, I mean.

[farmfriend]

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Gods, Graves, Glyphs
List for articles regarding early civilizations , life of all forms, - dinosaurs - etc.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from either list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Or if things were always warm, they still survived but never learned to plan.

I really can't stay
But, baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Ah, baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour

The neighbours might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little closer?
At least there will be, oh, but I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out

Ah, but it's cold outside

I simply must go
Ah, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
You know it's cold outside
This welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious
Ah, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is visious
Ooh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat
You know it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pnuemonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt

Ah, but it's cold outside

Keep that up and we'll make an anthropologist outta you.

[editor-surveyor]

No scientist would ever use such an ignorant term as "human evolution."

Evolution is not science, it is the ignorant religion of the God haters. Objective science proves that creation is undeniable fact.

Do I get to wear a neat looking hat and carry a whip???

[U S Army EOD]

The main effects would have been migration. You either got run off when your world turned to ice or you went back after the ice left.

[blam]

"Do I get to wear a neat looking hat and carry a whip???"

Nah, that's archaeology. Anthropologists mostly think about what archaeologists find.

[blam]

"Ah, but it's cold outside"

My mother used to sing that song to me when I was young.

Evolution is science. Biologists refer to human evolution frequently. Christians who understand biology don't have a problem with this theory.

It is those folks who demand that science be curtailed are the God-haters. I know you don't have a dinosaur in your basement, or are in possession of a 12 billion year-old human fossil.

However, I agree that creation is a fact.

When you study on both sides of that belief, you find that they both support each other. Both religion and science has change, evolution, or whatever you want to call it in the same order.

For me I beleive in both concepts in the same way I beleave in heaven and hell. When I die, I am going to be very disappointed to find out no one was keeping score all along because I missed out on a lot of fun trying to follow the Ten Commandments.

"The main effects would have been migration. You either got run off when your world turned to ice or you went back after the ice left."

Or, you planned and lived with it. The cold is also why we have white people...vitamin 'D' and all.

ignorant religion - Objective science

I have edited your post for clarity.

[U S Army EOD]

Well, I am a great believer in cause and effect. People just don't do things for no reason at all. They also interpret things based on their level of technoligy. And we interpret what they thought on our ability to deciper what they thought by looking at their records.
