    Default Are we evolving the right way?

    We have all heard about the theory of evolution. There was a scientist recently who said that evolutionary changes in humans is slowing (therefore, so is our evolution). His theory is we have gone as far as we can go.
    That got me thinking about evolution when I stumbled upon a site the picture on the t-shirt titled EVOLUTION .

    Do you think humans are still evolving? and if so are we going the right way?

    I think we are still evolving. It's going to take a while yet for our heads to catch up with out bodies but I'm full of hope.

    In my case it's the body that needs to keep up with the thought process!
    I hope that we are still evolving although I have no idea where we are going, hopefully in a better direction than we have gone in the past.

    You're making a bold assuption that the human race has evolved at all. I think the race lost it when it started chasing bits of paper with queens and presidents heads on them and seen achievment in numbers and balance sheets. Ye dinny see the rest of the animal world stiffening each other and outdoing each other for paper and numbers. Just us evolved humans.

    I'm sure that since we began our modern dance techniques i.e. waltz, quickstep etc we will most definitely evolve a little more, particularly women. I'm certain that the mans hand positions on a womans back will eventually lead to womans breasts developing on their back and becoming known as backs instead of breasts. Or is it just my wishful thinking?? I'll bet the ladies have some thoughts of their own regarding the evolution of man.

    Humans will adapt whichever way God deems neccessary, evolution is a joke.

    I have never seen why evolution excludes God and the Bible or vice-versa.

    Evolution excludes God because it's proponents want it to.

    That will be because God supposedly made man in his own image. Ergo, evolution would mean that God got it wrong!

    God's image is conciousness of an abstract conceptialism.

    God made mankind in God's own image. Managed to get two sexes not to mention a whole load of races. Which leaves 30+ images (not to mention the billions of individuals out there) of God or are some of those excluded?

    I have have seen that, more often I have found a bigger argument against evolution from those who follow the Bible, than the other way around.

    We all evolve somewhat.
    If man was made in gods image how come their are ugly people?
    How come we have numpties like Osama bin laden?.
    I do believe in something but will leave it open until I am ready to meet my maker.

    Nobody is born evil, we are all a product of our upbringing.

    cause man made god up to help the monarches and leading powers in their control of the masses.
    give them something to beleive in,something good and a nice place to got to when you die if you are a good citizen in this poxy life.then put the fear of hell in them,of eternal suffering if they are not good and do what they are told.then back it up with a good story(the bible)
    if they don't beleive try torture,killing and harrassing them.and if they happen to have another religion and don't believe in yours ,set about bombing them say they are wrong and 'the infidel' and the rest the west and other religions gets accussed of and vice versa
    god doesn't come into it because he came after man ,from man's imagination.

    I agree on of the worst things has been mans "interpretation" which in a lot of cases has little to do with God and what is in the Bible.

    I think most of the problems associated with evolution and "god's plan" are the limitations that humans put onto God. Who decided that God had only one plan for humans???? I think it would be presumptious with a capital "p" to decide for God what he/she had planned for humans...assuming you believe in God to begin with
