You heard the man! Monkey us from?


Hey that bit was for the lols, although it is quite valid to say, just missing plural and a comma. Innacurate in some ways -mainstream theory is not about coming from apes, rather is about sharing a, yet undiscovered, common ancestor. I mentionned the pigs because of promising advancement in organ transplantation, notably kidneys that reached a milesone recently, and I mentionned the hips because human hips and ape hips have an evolution-breaking distinction. I could go on and on, but let's wait for more science, it wouldn't surprise me that what knowledge we discovered and took for granted back then, when 80% of the world population did not know how to read, might be developped today.


I really appreciate your open response! Your writing style is so fascinating, it reminds me of how my dad used to talk (he was Persian, not a native English speaker). What’s your background? How did you end up with these beliefs?


Thanks for the kind words. My heart is Belgian and I'm living in Panama now; Well, I always wondered why we 'evolved to die', in the sense that from my understanding, the initial life forms, quasi-minerals, wouldn't die of old age, just of trauma like cell rutpture or something. There is so much to say so I really cut it short, but eventually I read about how it was probable that first living things came from an asteroid, I started thinking that 'something', call it God if its meaning hasn't been perverted by manmade things, put us there. Something currently above our understanding, and quite extraordinary -what kind of energy to run the universe.
