I recently did a project in my American History class, and it was on the Scopes Trial. If you have no idea what this is, its about a teacher named John Scopes who was prosicuted for teaching evolution, rather then the idea that an almighty power (God) created the human race. As you know, there is two sides to this story. Although Scopes was convicted of his crime and fined $100, I still believe that we, the human race, evolved, rather then being created. Before you start posting things of anti-christ, or some other crazy stuff, hear me out.
Websters dictionary defines "Evolution" as a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage). If you sit their and say "If we evolved to what we are today, why aren't we still evolving more?" The truth is that, to evolve, it takes millions of years. Humas, as most knew them back ~100 years ago, were much smaller. This holds true in old houses as their stairs are smaller in width, hence smaller feet, shorter height. The idea that we follow basic instincts to live. Some might say "If it came down to eating a bug to survive or dying, I would die." This might hold true to some people. The truth of the matter is, if it really came down to life or death, you will eat your own feces before you would die. Yeah it's grose, but its the truth. We even share simular qualities as a chimpanzee. Our faces are simular, are body build is simular, and many other features that make humans human, all strive from the basic concept of the chimpanzee.
Please, before you post anything radical, please have some evidence/background. Don't post anything that is stupid and has no relavance to this topic. This may include, but is not limitted to, religious mumbo-jumbo, just blatantly being rude, and or disrespectfull. The whole idea of this topic was to see what others think of this situation.
