What makes us different from Animals, in particular other mammals?
Some say we are 'Ultra-Intelligent' mammals. I dont subscribe to this view because if we are so intelligent, why are we destroying our own habitat?
People argue that the invention of the wheel was revolutionary and that the invention of fire was like wise. Why? If those inventions hadnt occured we would now no longer be polluting our planet and destroying its life! How intelligent is that?
Also if we are mammals and have evolved from a primitive form, how come no other species has done likewise? One answer would be that Human Beings have prevented this by attaining evolution first. Another, and the more likely in my mind is that we are not mammals at all. How can you explain the evolution of humans all across the Earth happening at the same time?
The idea seems at the back of most scientists minds, but it is surely a posibility that an intelligent race may have left some of their kind to populate or to form a colony here on Earth. Sounds far fetched, but think about it. We know now that there may well have been life on Mars at some point. They may have had a space program, as we do. A manned mission to Mars is possible now, but may happen in the next few years. Is it not entirely possible that, on discovery of our planet being able to support life, the Martians (corny name i know), their own planet, so awash with global warming that their oceans evaporated, came to Earth to escape the destruction of life support from their own planet.
OK, so I took that theory a bit too far.. but think about it and it could well be possible. I dont buy the whole evolution idea. Nor do I believe that God made man in his own image. What does everyone else think? Any theories?
