I agree. Also good at working out puzzles. And using sticks to eat ants...

DrScribbles is apparently wrong; if these creatures can play banjos I think chimps can.

Maybe we just haven't made a sufficient economic offer.

"Chimps playing banjos".

Apparently in season 10 of the Simpsons, episode 17 there's a bunch of TV screens with a monkey playing a banjo but I couldn't find a picture.

EDIT: Of course, a monkey isn't a chimp; I don't want to confuse CE any worse than he is now.

Just to point out - that the earth was not flat was well-known to educated people since the 9th cent. or so onwards.

What is the spiritual equivalent of basic math? The Bible. Trusting the Bible is like trusting your basic math skills.

I disagree here. Trusting the Bible as an authentic source of Divine Wisdom is at the level of calculus - there are a number of steps that go before.

Evolve - from what?

You are making the implication that the story of god is not true, not I. I don't believe it is, but that's my opinion. The point is that stories that we know to be true, tend with telling and re-telling to become exagerated. Like chinese whispers.

Could you postulate a possible scenario where the concept of God would have arisen in such a manner as you have described?

Interesting thoughts there Govna. Let me ask you a question. Why is it that your so determined to disprove Gods existance? You`ve obviously spent a lot of time thinking about Him. Interesting choice of name, I must say. What made you decide upon it?

If your question is directed at lucifershammer, I'm afraid you are on the wrong track.

You'll note I never stated which 500 years - or even in what parts of the world (i.e. muslim parts or christian parts)
