Charles Manson is rotting in hell

Muslims and Christians believe in the same God

 

Yes, I know.

 

Manson was a Crazy Christian for sure... the kkk white supremacist type

 

Not for me. As I said, if you're right we end up in the same place. If I'm right we end up in vastly different places.

 

had we killed him many more may have believed he was the second coming of Christ, seeing him grow old and die in Prison keeps him from becoming more then he is

it used to be convert or kill, ask the Indians

the secular age has been a boon for civilization

 

Then tell me when you see your hearing. Or your thinking, seeing, or dark matter for that matter.
You can't see any of these but they are there, right? You can see the effects of sound but you can't see sound. Yet you can't deny it they all exist.

 

It involves more than just time, of course. We hit upon the right set of mutations to become what we are. We are certainly not the first bipedal animals, seeing as how dinosaurs and birds accomplished this feat many millions of years before we came along. But that didn't mean that they would automatically go on to develop big brains and speech and all that lovely stuff, although perhaps, given more time, some line of dinosaurs might even have happened along that path. Who knows? We have some remarkably intelligent birds around today, intelligent enough at least to rival certain primates in certain aspects. Among the mammals, most seem too specialized in either a predatory or herviborous model, whereas humans and other primates are generalists. We do hunt, but do so with intelligence and, in some cases, tools. We also graze like herbivores, but less efficiently than the specialists. At some point early on, it would seem that primates favored intelligence and physical versatility over claws and teeth and speed and stealth.

Personally, I'm not familiar with the common ancestors of primates, but that is essentially what you're asking about. Here is some reading about that:
https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/earlyprimates/early_2.htm

Primates are remarkably recent animals. Most animal species flourished and became extinct long before the first monkeys and their prosimian ancestors evolved. While the earth is about 4.54 billion years old and the first life dates to at least 3.5 billion years ago, the first primates did not appear until around 50-55 million years ago. That was10-15 million years after the dinosaurs had become extinct.

...

The first primate-like mammals, or proto-primates , evolved in the early Paleocene Epoch (65.5-55.8 million years ago) at the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. They were roughly similar to squirrels and tree shrews in size and appearance. The existing, very fragmentary fossil evidence (from Asia, Europe, North Africa, and especially Western North America) suggests that they were adapted to an arboreal way of life in warm, moist climates. They probably were equipped with relatively good eyesight as well as hands and feet adapted for climbing in trees. These primate-like mammals (Plesiadapiformes ) will remain rather shadowy creatures for us until more fossil data become available.

The primate-like mammals do not seem to have played an important role in the general transformation of terrestrial animal life immediately following the massive global extinctions of plants and animals that occurred about 65,500,000 years ago. The most dramatic changes were brought about by the emergence of grazing and browsing mammals with tough hoofs, grinding teeth, and digestive tracts specialized for the processing of grass, leaves, and other fibrous plant materials. The evolution of these herbivorous mammals provided the opportunity for the evolution of the carnivorous mammals specialized to eat them. These new hunters and scavengers included the evolutionary lines that would later produce the dogs, cats, and bears of our time. Adaptive radiation was resulting in the rapid evolution of new species to fill expanding ecological niches, or food getting opportunities. Most of these new animals were placental mammals. With the exception of bats, none of them reached Australia and New Guinea. This explains why they did not exist there until people brought them in recent times. South America had also drifted away from Africa and was not connected to North America after 80,000,000 years ago. However, around 20,000,000 years ago, South America reconnected with North America and placental mammals streamed in for the first time, resulting in the extinction of most of the existing marsupials there.

Early Prosimians

The beginning of the Eocene Epoch (55.8-33.9 million years ago) coincides with the emergence of early forms of most of the placental mammal orders that are present today. In addition, placental mammals with larger bodies and bigger brains began to appear in the fossil record at this time. Paul Falkowski has suggested that this is due to the fact that the amount of oxygen in the earth's atmosphere more or less doubled around 50 million years ago. Larger mammals have relatively fewer capillaries for the distribution of oxygen to the cells of their bodies. Subsequently, they must breathe air that is more oxygenated. Brains have especially high oxygen requirements. In addition, pregnant placental mammals must transmit a substantial portion of the oxygen in their blood to their fetuses. Coinciding with the increase in atmospheric oxygen at the beginning of the Eocene Epoch was a relatively abrupt global warming of 9-16° F. (5-9° C.) lasting at least 200,000 years. This also would have been a major factor in the rapid evolution of animals and plants at the time. Overall, climates were significantly warmer during the Eocene than now. There were crocodiles in the Arctic, pine forests in the Antarctic, and palm trees in Wyoming. There was no polar ice. As a consequence, sea levels were close to 330 feet (100 m.) higher than today.

The first true primates evolved by 55 million years ago or a bit earlier, near the beginning of the Eocene Epoch. Their fossils have been found in North America, Europe, and Asia. They looked different from the primates today. They were still somewhat squirrel-like in size and appearance, but apparently they had grasping hands and feet that were increasingly more efficient in manipulating objects and climbing trees. The position of their eyes indicates that they were developing more effective stereoscopic vision as well.

 

Indian and white man history is hard to find. I think the catholic spanish and latinos already pissed them off before we got here so we tried to calm them down with some fire water which only made things worse.
Lewis and Clark said they were good people so don't know.

 

No. They both look pretty damn comfortable.

 

guess we're monsters!LOL

 

It's called a degree of humility which the godless always seem to lack.

 

The proof is there, but many choose to be blind. Jesus made that quite clear.

 

Freedom seeker.....you set yourself up as judge of all creation? Do you know how silly that sounds?

 

Oh, fer crissake. Why trash people this way?

 

Well damn. A good post about a monster who know longer walks this planet..............and a time for all decent people to celebrate. And what did this turn into? I didn't know this was the xenforo religious forums.
WTF happened here?

 

So what are C tholics supposed to call their fathers, sperm donor?

 

Because people like him are not capable of presenting an intelligent argument to support their position. It a form of bullying !

 

Manson wanted to start a race war and he wanted to take the country over.

 

Your point is? Atheism is a blind faith like any other religion.

 

So now you evolved from squirrels instead of apes? Do you ever get an overwhelming desired to collect nuts and climb trees?

So what did the squirrels evolve from? Please give me the evolutionary chain right from the primordial ooze.

 

The rise of the secular age correlates with the downward spiral of morals. Happens throughout history.

 

Seems like "nonbeliever" makes more sense than "believer" or "atheist."

 

nope, we all start out atheists, atheist is the default state, you can choose to believe on blind faith after that, or not to believe without proof

 

No, atheism isn't a religion.
