A new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the common value of >98% similarity of DNA between chimp and humans is incorrect.1 Roy Britten, author of the study, puts the figure at about 95% when insertions and deletions are included. Importantly, there is much more to these studies than people realize.
You are correct, I can save no one, no one at all, except myself. And the great wheel as you call it, will spin with or without you, me, or the rest of humanity.

those who choose to live forever will have only that which they regret to hold them captive.
Suicide, me? Nope, not even close. I'm just realistic about my mortality, I just see death as a natural extension of life. I have no fear of it any longer. If all of humanity would understand this maybe, just maybe, heaven on earth would return.

Divine glory huh? Thanks, needed a good laugh this early in the morning.
Although knowing how much you want to die makes makes me wonder what socially acceptable path of suicide your going to choose.edit on 10-8-2012 by Wertdagf because: (no reason given)
I dont think its what God wants the monkey to do, I'm certain they were created to be free creatures. But, getting caught in a trap may be exactly what the "Creators" expect. I personally see a difference between the physical Creators, and the Divine Creator, or God.

Sometimes letting go of the banana isn't an option. Sometimes the monkey is doing exactly what God wants it to do.edit on 8/23/2012 by rtyfx because: (no reason given)
