Couldn't God have used evolution as a tool in his creation? A day is likened unto a thousand years to God.
"special event" on Earth? Yes definitely. Special event in our Galaxy or the rest of the universe? too early to say. We just got started looking. We have only one intelligent species/planet to study right now.
The people at DU must not have been invited!
>>The accelerated evolution of these genes in the human lineage was apparently driven by strong selection. In the ancestors of humans, having bigger and more complex brains appears to have carried a particularly large advantage, much more so than for other mammals.<<
Everyone knows that men prefer to "mate" with women with big brains.
Wait. Do I have that right. Are brains a physical attribute? Maybe it wasn't brains I was thinking of. But they ARE big.
And everyone knows that even in caveman days, being named Poindexter was a real turn-on to the down-to-earth females of the day. They would have none of that brawn over brains stuff.
It was a nightmare for the tough guys though. And, living in such a genteel society (at least we all know it was in THOSE days), they couldn't just pound poindexter. They had to defeat him in a battle of wits - a battle they would almost certainly lose.
So much for natural selection...
Thanks for the ping!
