Super-Cool Graph: Evolution of Myth & Religion!

Did you notice the scientific method in there...

That's the only time I'll ever believe in evolution.

Oh, that works two ways...
Teehee.

Well if you are trying to keep it respectful, religion is TECHNICALLY an attempt to explain how the universe works. Well isn't that what the scientific method attempts to accomplish as well? So I can see why it would be included on the graph. Also, science is wrong about things all the time. One could say that those things that were wrong were myths as well.

They always assume it all started with Africa. I say start with Turkey, then to Babel, then from Babel, an explosive mutation and expansion to Caanan, Egypt, and Lebanon.

That isn't an assumption... It's a reasoned guess determined by the historic and archaeological evidence that points that everything came from Africa. You make it sound like they just drew Africa out of a hat and said, "There! That's where everything started from!"

Yet another topic where scientific finding and bible tales are in conflict...

You have to accept human paleontology in order to understand that findings place our oldest bipedal relatives in Africa.

I had few good laughs with recent news about 'Rachel Dolezal', who pretended to be dark skinned, where news would use term African-American and miss the point that we all, who live in America could call ourselves that and not being wrong...

Perhaps it is genetic.

I can't with till they isolate the 'spirit gene'.

The connection has to be in there somewhere.

Oh I agree.
And I was only being lighthearted.


My main point was one of not believing in evolution.

I have my own theory, but I don't discuss it.

Not worth the exhaustion.


I was just surprised to see the scientific method labeled a religion...
Certain science theories perhaps...
But not the method. Imo

I don't think they were implying the scientific method was a religion. More so just referencing it in the timeline of the entirety of the subject
