And of course, I'm lucky to be me. Imagine if I was someone else, boy would I be confused... LOL!!!
Haha, I like this one. It's like the actually very elegant answer to 'Why are we here?' - 'Why, where else would we be?'

Thank you. Finally someone who got it!Good lord that's a good analogy!
Hats off to you man, for real.
Yeah.... but that is a game, and not that complicated. I understand what you're saying. But you are asking it to make a human being by chance and picking the best all the time. Now, if you are going to tell me the pack is stacked, then count me in
We're not the best picking all the time. There are currently I think 10 different human species that didn't make it. Homo sapiens is the lucky one. Homo neanderthalis was not.Yeah.... but that is a game, and not that complicated. I understand what you're saying.

But time does not equate with balance and form, unless the whole universe is set up that way, which it appears to be...for, from its first unpacking out of its box in the big bang, it seems to be self assembling. Kinda strange I thinkThere's a lot more information encoded in DNA than on dice. And so much more time has gone by. Like, so much time.
Exactly.Haha, I like this one. It's like the actually very elegant answer to 'Why are we here?' - 'Why, where else would we be?'
I honestly don't. Unless you feel that we were at one point in time nothing but rabid monsters that ate whatever was in front of us and suddenly stopped eating our own babies no.But I still see NO REASON as to WHY they would not eat their own offspring. It is a food source. And it is free. And taking it out of the equation means that you have more food as they are not eating what the ADULT would eat. Do you see my problem here?

It could be. Perhaps life is a force, like a magnetic field, that's pulling the universe towards life and complexity. A field of life spanning both time and space. The future is pulling us there. But I wouldn't say this in public. People would think I'm just crazy.But time does not equate with balance and form, unless the whole universe is set up that way, which it appears to be...for, from its first unpacking out of its box in the big bang, it seems to be self assembling.

Okay that is a good answer I think. But from the perspective of fish, which you mentioned, how does that work? Surely they are not too bright. So why not eat what is in front of you? And considering we come from the sea then how did we manage to get past that point?I honestly don't. Unless you feel that we were at one point in time nothing but rabid monsters that ate whatever was in front of us and suddenly stopped eating our own babies no.
The process most likely began with the idea that we don't eat other species like ourselves. This would allow us to live together. One such instance is the idea that we develop instincts on what is food and what isn't foot. The same facilities that allow us to understand what food is. A cow for example eats grass. A cow would not eat its own baby. Only carnivores would even consider to eat their own babies. The development of a carnivore was out of an herbivore that already understood not to eat its own child. Now as stated before in extreme circumstances there are carnivores that do eat their own children. However they most likely developed with a high preference to keep the children alive. This is of course talking from mammal perspectives. Reptiles and fish don't necessarily care for young. Birds often do and mammals always do. Its one of the traits of mammals and most likely a key developmental feature that allowed us to rear young more successfully.

You mean they don't already? Hey come on, I can't stand here all by myself you knowIt could be.

I never know why people give that answer. It doesn't seem to have a point.then still it can be said that if we weren't in a universe complex enough for complex life to develop, then we wouldn't be able to ponder at why it was so complex, or not so complex.
But why have we not ate each other by then? Fish eat fish? no?

The intellect or lack thereof of fish would make not determination on what their instincts would say. The development of those instincts, again, would be very similar to anything that we have developed on land. The first animals were not carnivores (though they did develop quickly afterwards). Those animals would have had to develop some semblance of an idea of what they could consume and what they could not. Also what would have developed would be the idea of communities of the same animal. Those communities of animals must have developed an inhibitor somewhere for their behaviors that would dominate their interactions with each other.Okay that is a good answer I think.

LOL! Yeah, I'm sure many consider me a nutjob already. I don't mind. Squirrels are cute and have a bushy tail, so I'm good company.You mean they don't already? Hey come on, I can't stand here all by myself you know
