Probably he would. I'm incredibly simple, and this is how I think of it: humans who inhibited their violent behaviour (or in general controlled their impulses more) towards others got along better in early, early communities. The others were probably outcast; more of the impulse-controlling humans survived in groups and communities, less of outcasts survived, since they had to survive, first of all, alone, and second, in a world where communities started to thrive; impulse-control is now largely present in modern humans. Profit.
Different kinds of traits are advantageous to humans at different times. At this time you would probably benefit from a good set of brains, but you seem to be doing well, so I'm confused.
Edit: and as to how humans acquire these traits in the first place.. By random mutations, of which the beneficial ones stick mostly. LOL I dunno. |

So I'm dumb because I believe in a Creator?

Random mutations, huh? Yeah, I dunno about that either. Thanks for making this a more interesting discussion, btw. |

Been there, done that (although I don't like to really judge it as a "cult," as it may be good for some people) never again, G-d willing! |

| You are dumb for thinking that enormous, inaccurate, presumptuous logical leaps are thought provoking. This level of "philosophy" is the kind of stuff you're supposed to move past when you're 16 years old. |

Yes, I'm aware that random mutations would be a result of evolution.

I don't see what's necessarily inaccurate about the quote I mentioned, nor presumptuous or enormous, for that matter.

I did. Now I've returned to it, and I'm not the only one.
By the way, anyone willing to address my previous question on the last page, re killers, rapists, thugs, etc.? |

| Not to beat a dead horse, but I wonder why is it that so many people after doing Iboga want to do better, more positive, meaningful things with their lives (you will see this from many, if not most, of the Youtube testimonials/experiences with Iboga). Is this simply due to "chance" or societal factors/evolution? I highly doubt that. =D |
