So, I tried to make this thread some time in the past, but it got completely rejected. I care to have a wider range of opinions on this one rather this rather than religious flaming on the other one >.>..
How come humans have such complex brains? It may seem a little bit silly but think about it seriously for a minute.
From an evolutionist point of view: What were the ancestors of humans doing that caused them to develop such minds capable of so much.. Like, how come other animals didn't go down the same route, what do you think we were doing differently from the other animals that made us have such intelligence? How come we can dictate our morals and beliefs? Why do we have so many things we classify as 'human nature'.. Why are we so greedy and needy? It's just something I couldn't grasp my head around, you know? What on earth (ba dum tsst, no?) were we doing that allowed us to evolve and develop these needs and emotions and etc..
From a Biblical point of view: Why did God give us so much? He knew we would sin, so why did he give us emotions such as lust and greed if he knew we would sin? A test? To get in Heaven? It seems silly no offense. I just don't like the concept that it's a "competition of self control" to get into heaven and see God. We don't even have control over the things we do because God controls our actions, so God is just picking his favourites? Or at random? How come God gave us the knowledge and the potential to be able to take away the things that make him Godly. For example, we're sending people into space, landing on new planets. We're making fully functional life on our own via cloning.. Why would God do such a thing? Why humans?
I'm ranting beyond belief. I've probably repeated a lot of things a lot of times :3. Sorry if I sound a bit crazy.
[EDIT] I'm not going to pretend I know every concept from each side of the discussion, hell.. I could be completely wrong with a section and I don't even know it. That's why you're here, to help enlighten me on the subject and give me your facts/opinions.
