I can't believe I missed this thread.
It was a while back, when you weren't frequenting as often.

the word made doesn't instantly mean a higher power was involved, we can easily say we were created as a product of natural selection
Made = caused
Specifically referring to the
second way

It was when I was in Rome over Christmas. I've been frequenting off-topic debates since
08/2009
. If I'm ever gone, I look through all the major debate threads that I missed. This one slipped through apparently.

Made = caused
made also = create, thus the saying can be seen as neutral
Huh?

I too am confused. As an atheist, I don't think we were 'created', because that is
not
a neutral term.
Create
is indicative of being and of conscious thought - evolution didn't 'create' us, I think 'shaped' would be as far as you could go on that one. Hence HSR's 'Huh?'.This isn't time sensitive and we need this thread to keep going! I'll start;
I feel that Humans evolved to be stood up because in our natural environment it gave us the advantage. In tall grass, we could see further and as such potentially be more successful than your average four-legged fiend. Yes you, Shadowfiend.
And we got bigger brains to ensure this victory, Shadowfiend. Piss off.
And this has what to do with us running?
Ya we have a better intellect but that doesn't make us faster runners, and ya we can see taller objects due to standing on 2 legs, but that doesn't show that we were/weren't meant to run
Simple. He says he thinks we were created to run, and I disagree. I say we evolved (ignore the terminology, the end game is the same in this case) to
hunt
, and to
hunt successfully.
I'm also arguing that just because we're on two legs, and can run long distances, running isn't necessarily the reason why.

I like to bring hope to those who believe, irrelevant of my belief.
I'm just THAT nice.

You're quote malfunctioned ;)
But that's cool. I wish there were more people like you (if you were being serious).

I fixed it already :D
But despite the fact that I couldn't bring belief, if I could I would. Hope that's useful heh.

And humans were outraced and outendured by a creature...the horse.
So the human tamed the horse and rode upon it's back. Problem solved.
Hello...we are not the best runners on any scale in the animal kingdom...if you think that you need to worry that your giant human brain is de-evolving.
