Men are animals

How life began is still unknown, but my guess is that (abiogenesis) through the mixture of organic materials and the addition of energy, eventually the first building blocks for life were created. Bacteria evolved into multi-celled tissues, like planaria and jellyfish. Those creatures evolved into fish, etc. The opportunity for land-living was open for those desperate to escape their predators and eventually land-based creatures evolved. Etc. Etc.

The dinosaurs died out and mammals dominated. Apes evolved and one species would evolve larger brains than the others. They weren't alone at first though. Homo Erectus lived along side the early Homo Sapiens for a time until eventually only one would go one. It's believed that Erectus died out due to a less capable vocal tract and was therefore less capable of communication. So due to the Homo Sapien brain size, ability of communication, and overall adaptability, we survived long enough to get to where we are today.

A lot of people do not understand this completely, or they're in complete denial, or they simply don't care about their origins. I'm greatly ashamed of our society and government for allowing this to happen. At what point did our world change from intellectuals trying to learn the mysteries of the universe (as in the renaissance) into a bunch of couch-potato morons that only care about what Miley Cyrus did last week. I admit, I like sitting on my ass watching tv and playing games all day, but these things are meant to distract us from what is truly important, THOUGHT.

People don't think anymore. I don't know if they forgot how to think or if they just don't bother to think anymore, but I'm horribly disappointed. I'm not sure exactly what needs to be changed or what needs to be done, but I'm making this a warning to everyone that if you don't start thinking and using your brains in a logical and reasonable way then the human race is going to return to the stone age and maybe even worse. Read a book, write a book, play a song, paint a picture, sew a quilt, for the love of (your) god do something requiring thought or imagination.
