The Human Body

I believe that the human body is too complex for such a small explanation of "We Evolved" Look at it, It's a design, It's as if somebody had actually sat there and worked us out on how we would work perfectly. Thoughts? ^.^

 

That's why there are so many diseases that kill us. So many failures in our DNA that cause so much trouble for a lot of people.
We even have parts in our body that are complete useless for today's life....because we are still evolving.

So yeh perfect. >_>

 

If that someone or something did design our bodies, why couldn't they make our bodies immune to a lot of things such as diseases, sickness, weakness, pain, et cetera. It would be cool if there was no such things as toxins in our bodies, such as when we eat fast food as an example, it creates toxins, and the toxins create zits or pimples and many other nasty things.

I have a slightly off topic other question... If our brain subconsciously runs our body, why are we not equipped with the knowledge of bodily functions at birth. I've often wondered this... usually during anatomy courses

 

Evolution occurred over billions of years. With each generation, our organs were changed slightly and the individuals with the most beneficial changes prospered and produce and the rest fell. There are lost of vestigial organs that suggest that they served a purpose at some point during evolution, but no longer function.

Your medulla oblongata controls cardiac, respiratory, and autonomic functions. Understanding these functions is the job of other parts of the brain, which develop later.

 

That is called Mutation. I believe at some point we were immune to everything. Then it became more and more mutated and eventually it was completly different.

 

So you are basically saying that evolution is true and that our body isn't perfect.


LOL, make up your mind.

 

Evolution is really nothing but us, humans, adapting to our environments.
That's why we are evolving, because the world around us is too.

 

First of all.
Our bodies are not perfect. We have alot of useless parts, for example, tailbone. It often breaks, so what are the benefits for it?
Well, since we evolved from monkeys, and monkeys have tail...Got it?
Evolution hasn't taken our tail bone off, because there's no actual harm on having it.

Second of all.
If "God" or whatever you would call him, created us, why didn't he make us immune to all diseases? If god loves life, why he made diseases to us?

Third of all.
Proof that evolution exists.
Why so many people are disabled? Did you know that almost 0% of ex. monkeys or fishes are disabled? Why is that?
Well. Since Homo Sapiens is not so old race ( approx. 10.000 years ) no two humans picked from anywhere in the world are related no further than 33 generations.

And what happens if closely related people have children? Their children hsa increased chance of being somehow disabled.

So there.

 

How are those two things, evolution is true, and our body isn't perfect, in incongruity with eachother?

Our evolution just haven't had enough time to make our anatomy perfect.
Though, not even evolution can make us immune to all diseases.

 

if this were not true then what would be the purpose of "life" ? just life "life" and have fun? no worries ? no obstacles to overcome?

stupid arguments people make now a days..

 

I'm not a Christian, but I'm pretty sure that any devout Christian would give you something along the lines of: we are being punished for Eve's sins in the garden of Eden. She gave in to temptation and now it's our turn to be punished for that.

 

So our own loving God punishes people living thousands of years after Eve just because she ate an apple. Brilliant isnt it?

And there's no need for those childrens stories because evolution theory is HOLELESS.

 

It was a reply to 2 of his post combined. And not my own view.

 

The 2 quotes of me seem a little out of context. I look like I just contradicted myself, Well I didn't. I'm talking about diseases mutating. Everybody knows they do or otherwise we'd never get colds because after the first, It'd be like chicken pox. Once but never again.

But humans? No. I believe our body is FAR too complex for such a broad explanation.

 

Small explanation? All you're doing is taking the superficial image of design and ignoring any conflicting evidence.

Humans, and all living things, are riddled with mistakes and unnecessary parts. Take, for example, the appendix. It is almost useless in modern humans, but in precursor apes was helpful to digest large amounts of plants.

However, in the case of the appendix it doesn't really have a negative function, meaning that those who carry it don't have a lower chance of reproduction. Because of this it will remain in the 'blueprint' of the species, if you like (although this by no means implies a designer of any sort, only gradual change)

What exactly are you basing this off, other than the book of genesis?

In simple terms you're correct.

Throw aside your bible-fuelled special chauvinism for a moment.
What is a human other than a self replicating object, the same as a giraffe, an ant or a virus? Our only 'purpose' in life is to continue our species, which we do subconsciously as does a virus. A human is just a more complicated version of the same thing; a natural self replicating machine.

There's really nothing that different between a virus and a human, and we both came to be in the same way.

 

Think about it as a timeline. What we consider to be "human-like creatures" didn't appear until around 200,000 years ago. The first known life form, prokaryotes, have been dated back to approximately 3.8 billion years ago. That's a lot of time for life to diversify and evolve.

What I'm getting at is that it's very possible that evolution is a valid explanation for humans. We do have complex systems in our body, but it didn't happen in a day. It happened over a span of 4.5 billion years (Earth's approximate time of creation).

 

At one point in our evolution in the future we might be immune to all diseases or most of them at least. Because think about it when we get the chicken pox for examples we will fight it off and then won't get it again. Or we won't get it because there is a vacaine for it or our parents genes that they gave us were also immune to the chicken pox.

 

What I'm trying to say is that humans are no different from any other organism; we came to be in the exact same way.

 

If we'd been designed, why would we have flaws? Diseases?

Over the course of recorded history, humans have STILL been observed to evolve. Examples include decreasing prevalence of wisdom teeth, increases in average height, longevity, etc. Humans are ever changing.
