The chimps outlived Homo erectus, Homo sapien archaic and Neanderthals...seems like superior intelligence means squat.
Originally posted by DarfiusLet me see if I understand this correct.
No, but it is implied. And incest was not as negative an event back then, due to exponentially superior genes.
Let me elaborate. The Bible says that God created Adam and Eve perfect. Infinitely small negative mutation would have occurred in them before they procreated, and their child would have been slightly less perfect. When two of their children m ...[text shortened]... more to what we have now (two distant cousins from Adam and Eve's line create a healthy baby).
Originally posted by DarfiusJust because you can't see the logical advantage, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Herds outrun lions all the time. I see no logical advantage for intelligence at its conception in evolutionary theory. For instance a slightly smarter ape would still be eaten over it's slighty dumber--but faster--brother.
You'd need to allow for tremendous amounts of time where intelligence was given free reign to grow.

Originally posted by DarfiusI think that Darfius is correct on this point.
I explained this in my post. Did you read it? The word begat means "to show lineage". Look at the alternate translation in my previous post. i.e.:
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram.
or
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat the line that culminated in Abram.

Darfius:
[b]We share over 50% of DNA with certain vegetables
This is complete BS. What you may have read/heard is that humans share 50% of DNA with fruit flies, and ...[text shortened]... confused fruit with vegetables.
Care to comment, or provide a source for your "fact"?
