k this view belongs not to me but to a friend of mine...do you agree with him...really its up to you and ill let you discuss it here...

Survival of the fittest, or Devine intervention?


From the beggining of time, creatures have needed special skills to survive. Perhaps armored skin, maybe long legs for running fast, eventualy a bigger brain for solving problems.

Somewhere along the line humanity became the dominant species on this planet. I do not, however, believe this to be from superior evolution, so much as from devine intervention. Why? Becuase people are stupid.

Next time you are in a public place look around you. Maybe even look in a mirror. Chances are, you will see somebody doing something excruciatingly stupid.

While I was driving down Corydon last night, I noticed a man walking towards the crosswalk I was approaching. When I was about 10 feet from the crosswalk, this guy slaps the button, and without breaking stride, continues across the street, nearly becoming a hood ornament. Now, as a child, I remember a rule pounded into my head ever scince I could walk. Look both ways before you cross the street. This also applies to avenues, boulevards, etc, you idiots. Another prime example is when people stop at yeilds when there is an entire lane dedicated to merging traffic. Here we have one person who is soo incapable of judging vehicle speed, that they need to come to a complete stop when a whole lane is available, causing all the traffic following them to come to an abrupt unexpected stop. Here are some circumstances when you are allowed to stop before a merging lane:

You wiegh 400lbs and drive a Hyundai Accent

You drive a Smart Car

Anywere else in the animal kingdom, creatures engaged in such stupidity would surely die. A squirrel stepping out infront of a stampede of bison, or that same bison in the front of the stampede coming to a sudden complete stop would bring immediate death. Why are we humans exempt from such natural selection? Simple, devine intervention. Only with help from a supreme being could the idiots that comprise humanity survived so long. But perhaps you don't believe in such things. So next time you try to pay for groceries using a third party cheque, just think about what you are doing. If natural selection doesn't take you out, perhaps I will.

as correct as he may be about serious lack of inteligence on the part of drivers and pedestrians there does not seem to be any indication of devine intervention involved in their survival.

the personwho was walking across the road may not have a brain but the drivers who did not run him into roadkill just happen to follow the rules they were taught same can be said of the stop at yield sign's insidents.

his objections to why we are dominant on the planet would only have weight if they were aplicable at the time of humans ascention to dominance.

if we had people so stupid they kept getting killed off at that time we would not have become the leading species.

Can't really generalise every single person as stupid. sure there are idiots around, but not all.
Humans became the dominant species b/c of little things as well as the big. ie/ the use of our thumbs was a key factor. Imagination: able to see things mentally ahead of time and remembering things, etc.
But i do believe there is divine help, which allowed things to progress as it has.

.

An easier way to say that is that

"In Groups Human Beings Tend To Act In The Most Stupid Way"

This can be seen through riots or Mob Attacks. Peer preasure is something which is extremely present to people in real life not really on the internet which is why it's easier. But out in the mob enviroment everyone tends to go with the peer preasure and the mom mentality. Thus giving humans the tag that we're stupid.

Which is partially correct because if we were all smart then we would realise we need to stop this stuff from happening..But it doesn't and we doom ourselves to self anihalation.

U know humanity has it's own way to select people....the survival of the fittest is a joke....cuz in the animal world that powerfull representant would be respected by all.....instead in our world those who stand up are backstabbed by weak people who take their place and create a state of unbalance....My point of view is that strong people do not grow in our world they fight eachother or they are quickly erased
