Prodigious savants face their own difficulties. For example, while many people would consider eidetic memory a blessing, if you actually research the people that have it many consider it a curse. Unfortunately since prodigious savantism is so rare it has not been studied to the extent it should. Most of what we have are case studies, which don't really reveal much. I would like to point out however that it is possible for humans to experience periods of extremely increased activity in areas of the brain, or even the brain as a whole. We call this epilepsy.
Well I doubt seriously if that little gland is responsible for all of those things combined. Of course its hard to argue with proven science, but I guess thats what it comes down to, what have the proven for sure. I question it with all seriousness. I think the fact that there have been so many dissproven claims about it, will just result in yet another disproven claim down the road.
We know what the pineal gland does. We know what neurotransmitters it produces and we know what those neurotransmitters do. We know what happens to people that have malfunctions in their pineal gland and we know what happens in people that have their pineal glands removed. It regulates sleep/wake patterns and at least in mammals produces hormones that stimulate puberty and help prepare the female for pregnancy and postnatal care of the infant. This are verifiable, empirical facts. What you have is a claim that you haven't even sourced yet. Now, I have seen a lot of crazy claims regarding the pineal gland, but this one you have made is new to me. So for all I know you just came up with it yourself and for some reason expect it to be held up as having the same authority as scientific fact. If that's the case you are delusional. So far your entire argument seems to be based on unverified claims and for some reason you expect that to debunk the 150+ years of empirical research that supports evolution. Please tell me where that makes sense?
I rank Savants up there with the pineal gland. From what I"m reading they are even admitting upfront that this syndrome is poorly understood.
As I have already stated prodigious savants face their own problems. From those few that have been studied a common characteristic is eidetic memory. While at first this seems advantageous many who possess it describe it as a burden. Furthermore, while prodigious savants may lack the social and learning deficits of your average savant I would be more than willing to bet that they exhibit a higher likelihood of developing mental disorders such as depression or generalized anxiety disorder.
A drilling accident poluted drinking water, so what? An accidental fire burns people does that prove we dont fit as well?
Like I said you need to get out and get some life experience, thats if the nurses will let you out.
Volcano pollutes water
Tsunami Pollutes water
So I again repeat so what, S**t happens.
Humans on this planet, are not considered to be natural. This is why we must yield to all other life on this planet, because we are the ones that don't belong here.
Oh right, you actually think we fit in here.
Says who? Biologically we fit perfectly into the ecosystem we call earth. Hell, we know how humans evolved.
You're making the most random claims that have no bearing in reality...

Well aside from 1/4 of our phone book being for medical reasons, clearly showing your wrong, where were you when I was asking anyone to produce one target food. Better yet, give one example of something that proves we are from here.

Coming from you that is rich. You acused me of writeing dinosaurs laid chicken eggs but have yet to show me proof. Whats up could not find the description because as usual you made it up?
Well a couple of things are for sure. Your in denial, and blind. If it was really our water to begin with do you think it would be such a drastic thing to keep it so safe? I don't think so. We aren't evolving either to deal with these problems , we are however circumventing them by adapting and working around them.
What?
Aren't you able to see that planets must be in a balance, otherwise you have thing like that accident happening. I'm sure there are natural problems, but at least they are natural. Humans on this planet, are not considered to be natural. This is why we must yield to all other life on this planet, because we are the ones that don't belong here.
To what? to wild dealings prove it. What does that garbled nonesense mean? The rest is just as meaningless. Maybe you took my advice and went outside and got sun stroke.
You can deny this all you want, but the facts in our society to wild dealings prove it. Not that anyone has been smart enough to realize why. Anytime man sticks his hand into something, hes taking a chance on infecting something else on the planet, and that's just a fact.
My God. You have been proved to be completely wrong. That your only evidence, if you can call it that has been shown completely false and lays around you in tatters. You personally have been shown to be dishonest and so you bring out the big gun. You ignore all posts that have cornered you and you return to around page 57ish of this thread and repeat that rubbish. The phone book that shows we are not from here. The missing food that shows we are not from here. Hey you left out or alien hands and cow mucus.
Oh right, you actually think we fit in here.

As I just posted this is not about proving creation or evolution right or wrong. It is about showing the diversity we see today without refering to evolution.

If creationism isn't true, then how did the first thing on this planet ever come here to evolve?? Where did it come from and some evidence to back up your claim, please.
Creationism offers the answer to this question as evolution does not.....Unless you can prove me otherwise.
