Huh? You cant prove unicorns are impossible. Go ahead, try.His is actually possible. Yours is imaginary
We can’t even communicate with dolphin how we gonna communicate with something so smart. We would be stupid monkeys to them. Same as monkeys are to us.I think it's likely, but we both know that's a bit of a wild guess. I do not think it is likely that we will ever encounter such organisms.Please tell me in all the universe there is something smarter than us. There must be.
Well there’s no evidence of life on other planets but most scientists believe there is. How many believe in unicorns?Huh? You cant prove unicorns are impossible. Go ahead, try.His is actually possible. Yours is imaginary
And you need to understand how poor this line of argument is. To say something is "not impossible" is not a compelling argument for the truth of it.
Nothing "magical" about aliens messing with our dna. Why do you suppose people are STILL being abducted today and then returned back to earth? I'll tell you, we're an on-going experiment.Wow, lots of things wrong there. For one, we are still apes, and thus we are still very apelike. Likewise, trees are treelike. Second, the differences in "intelligence" between us and other apes comes in DEGREES, not in kind. That is compelling evidence AGAINST your implication of some special, single, watershed event that cannot be explained by evolution.Because we were apelike for millions of years and only recently have we become intelligent. It wasn’t by accident.
Third, you are not arguing your claim, you are merely reiterating it. Your terms are undefined, as are the events that happened "recently". What is "apeloke"? What changed , EXACTLY, and when did it change?
Fourth, you mention "millions of years" as if it is a long time. That's not even a blink, on geological and evolutionary time scales.
Furthermore, your use of the word "accident" is not appropriate. Natural selection is not random. Birds did not evolve wings "by accident".
Have you even bothered to look into the proposed scientific hypotheses for the emergence of our special degree of intelligence? There are several, and any (or all of them together) can explain this emergence. There is no need to add magical.claims to the mix.

(1)You might still be like an ape, your thought process is very rudimentary and thus ape-like, (2) and I can understand that you think of yourself as not much smarter than a monkey. (3) What changed is that we went from ape creatures to beings that travel though space in about 50,000 years or so. (4) Evolution doesn't act that fast. (5) Which means that natural selection didn't have enough time to act. Nothing magical about any of it.
What does it mean to be human? We are related to every living creature and we most likely came from a comet or meteor so we probably all have that 8% difference.

A fun fact is that a full 8% of human DNA isn't even human at all, its the DNA of an ancient virus that somehow became a part of the human genome around 750,000 years ago...
It might mean nothing but scientists have learned that altering genes causes brain and behavioral changes in mice..

Where do you think the earth and you came from?
I was just showing that a bornavirus that usually only affects only hoofed mammals and birds became a fixture in the human genome around 750,000 years ago.
Knowing that viruses can alter brain chemistry, thoughts and behavior, because scientists have altered the brain chemistry and behavior in mice by deliberately causing genetic mutations, it becomes plausible that a more highly advanced form of intelligent life could easily have done the same to our apelike ancestors in the past with the specific intent to make us more like them so that communication between worlds and intelligences would become possible in the fulness of time.
But that's a far cry from believing intelligent alien species not only exist, but came here and interfered with our evolution. I would say the number of scientists who believe that is roughly equal to the number who believe in unicorns.Well there’s no evidence of life on other planets but most scientists believe there is.
Haha...oh really? Then explain it. How they got here, how they did it, etc.Nothing "magical" about aliens messing with our dna
You don't have a shred of evidence for this nonsense.Why do you suppose people are STILL being abducted today and then returned back to earth?
Sissy little copout on your part....we are both apelike,...in fact, we are both apes .(1)You might still be like an ape, your thought process is very rudimentary and thus ape-like,
This is silly and arbitrary. Where did you get this number? What standard did you use? What evidence did you use to arrive at it? And again....we are still ape creatures.(3) What changed is that we went from ape creatures to beings that travel though space in about 50,000 years or so.
Not entirely accurate. The 8% is an collection of almost all partial viral code that has accumulated over hundreds of millions of years. It is not signigicantly due to any one event.A fun fact is that a full 8% of human DNA isn't even human at all, its the DNA of an ancient virus that somehow became a part of the human genome around 750,000 years ago...
You are absolutely, 100% correct. While the "8%" number may vary, we find this viral content is present in all the vertebrates we check.so we probably all have that 8% difference. Even frogs and mice

Uh...I think we're going to need to see your math on that one.If there was no periodic intervention, like farmers tending a field, the odds are that our apelike ancestors would have remained more like the rest of the wild animals on the plane
Sometimes. Not in everyone, it seems.Sure, but among those fragments and partial code there is a fully intact virus.
Uh...I think we're going to need to see your math on that one.If there was no periodic intervention, like farmers tending a field, the odds are that our apelike ancestors would have remained more like the rest of the wild animals on the plane
Ha, no Hobelim. Spare me the used car salesman tactics. You are not questioning me. You are tasked with showing the math or the arguments behind your claim.Uh...I think we're going to need to see your math on that one.If there was no periodic intervention, like farmers tending a field, the odds are that our apelike ancestors would have remained more like the rest of the wild animals on the plane
I used the reverse mathematical theory.
In the past hundreds of millions of years, how many wild species have domesticated themselves?
Aliens come here, mess with the dna of an ape-like species and voila! Here we are.Haha...oh really? Then explain it. How they got here, how they did it, etc.Nothing "magical" about aliens messing with our dna

You say evolution doesnt "act that fast", but nobody but you could possibly know what it means when you say such a vague thing.. "Fast"...from what, to what? Show me the endpoints. Delineate the differences. Then we can scrutinize your argument.
