Being self aware makes us delusional though. We are only aware of what our society has taught us and our society is a fabrication; it’s not our natural environment. Animals are more conscious than us because they don’t have the veil of the deluded mind to fight with
Why do we have religion, math, spirituality, quantum physics, chemistry, nuclear weapons, spacecrafts, the internet, philosophy, existentialism? Why do we look at the stars, and ask "why"? Why does the human brain feel the need to understand itself? Why do we manipulate matter on the nanoscale? Why do we have the capability to explore the macroverse and microverse with telescopes and microscopes? Why are we the only animal of billions of animals who does all these things?
@@verenant4567 yes, because of our brain, of course. But nothing explains why our existence and thinking is so fundamentally different. Why our brain is so different on so many levels. Music, art, spirituality. Other species have that? And it certainly wasn’t only survival because there are species that are masters at survival but everything human isn’t needed to survive.

@@Chris-55 there were other species humans before us one actually dominated for over 2 million years then there the Neanderthals which are stronger and probably smarter then us but could reproduce as fast and starved out when the big game died
What if we lived in a world where another animal, like a bear or kangaroo, for instance, were not as smart as humans, but close. How would society work? Would those animals still be considered subservient to humans? Would it be considered discrimination? Would we have wars with them for the role of the dominant species? Would they eventually gain equality where they would be allowed to vote and serve in Congress? It’s a super weird thing to ponder...
Yes at first… see old humans were shitty to other humans who couldn’t keep up. We still have a long way to go here. Imo dolphins elephants birds and many other animals are so crazy close to our level of thinking… they have families and even primitive language. Look how humans treat them… its very sad
What i find even more impressive is the rate at which technologie evolved. Considering humans started using tools millions of years ago most major development only happened within the last hundreds of years. The oldest people still alive witnessed the uprise of technology from basic electric equipment to what we have now.
I think the way the world works (physics and all that) is sort of like a puzzle, the initial steps are long and tedious, and take forever, but as more pieces fall into place, the faster we can make connections, and the faster we can make progress
I think about this too. Once the internet happened Boom! Knowledge spread and so many different fields (technology, medicine, art ect ect ) benifited and grew . I feel very lucky to be alive during this technology boom!

It's funny, I know the answer to that but don't have the ability to express it in the detail I want to. I do think we have one ace in the hole though. Our ability to form communication so complex that we can convey abstract thought which set us down a rabbit hole that got us where we are today. It's not just our brain, it's our brain our thumbs, our posture, our voice box, our weird reproductive systems .. all of them play a role that took us to the next level.
Yes, you still have the brain; but as a child it has to be taught things and surrounded by challenges. Just like muscles wont grow unless they are built by challenging them… so to answer your question the potential is always there.

We are all born stupid, more so than many other animals and far more helpless. Having 2 loving and caring parents for support and guidance is so crucial to intelligence and then expanded upon by interaction with others in school.
"And that's OK, experts say.

Animals babies don't even survive! They got stolen and eaten by other animals or born weak and destined to die. If there's 7 kitten's for a example, 5-4 of them die. What are you even talking about and human babies are actually has a intelligence same as dog's just when they're born. What do you expect from some creature that have just opened it's eyes? Speak Chinese? Of course they need someone to show them what they can do so they can be like them. As what they are meant to be, a human. Animal parents does the same and they still end up like their parents. Just walking around breathing.

Dumb animals are Just a background character. Besides, god talked to us. Not them. We are chosen as the main character of the world. The god gave us duties. We are way insane intelligent to be compared to dumb animals.. remember stuff we do, for a example like Lion King 2019 movie or realistic models that looks exactly real, can't even tell a difference. Can they do that? Can they built cities or phone's, talking, walking, realistic robot's? Hm? Nope. Can they make surgery? And more I can't write, nope. Can they find cure and medicine to heal? Nah uh.

It only takes one genius or determined individual in a generation to change the way of life by discovering a new means of making life itself easier. That's how humans evolved through out the years, they're also capable of learning more complex materials if trained well.

The most distinguishing traits non-exclusive to humans are probably superior Intelligence, advanced language, long lives, and diversity of diet. Specializing in these things allowed us to make/use tools, survive volatile circumstances, form societies, and to a much greater degree than any other species.

Hell we've managed to teleport atoms or particles or whatever it was. Created artificial life, cloning life, changing our very DNA even. We literally treat ourselves like god, since we can pretty much destroy the entire world if we wanted to. Kill off all animals, stop them from going extinct. Hell we've made meat from a wolly mammoth that's been extinct for hundreds of millions of years. In that regard I don't see any other life on earth ever coming close to human intelligence
If that was possible, it should have happened by now. Millions of years passed and no sign of any other animal coming close to our level. The fact that we humans didn't get a head start makes me think there must be something different about us.
Its nice. This is no viral thing. Here you can see that views which this video has are only by people who actually serched for this and actually want to know about it.
It is nice being smart but it's also a pain sometimes. I'd kill to have less complex thoughts at times when they're bad but I love being capable of understanding and processing so much. Double edge sword 😢
I used to think humans are very unique, but we are actually similar to ants. They also use tools, they also live in society, they also have pets (even slaves), they also have highways, build roads, have leader, workers, etc. Only difference is that we are much bigger then ants and therefore can gather much more resources then them (since we have more power). I think if ants were as big as us that they would easily dominate the world
@@AiGeneratedWaluigi Ikr? It's an impossible advantage. I don't think an ant body could support itself in our size. Humans are so damn OP, like what other animal could even come close to landing on the goddamn moon!
The video answers the question 'how' but not 'why'. Why did single celled organisms living in the same ecosystem, subjected to the same natural events allegedly evolved so differently that one became human and the other remained single-celled? Moreover, why we don't find several species creating advanced civilizations that compete together? Why only one animal species (humans) managed to achieve that by a huge margin? Other animals are not even close.
Because we HAD to be. Our evolution acquired a lot of thinking. It got to a point where we went from Neanderthaler to early human species. We became smarter and smarter. Each time with more curiosity. We're talking tens of thousands of years. Also, the big migration played a huge part in how we evolved. Do you believe humans are all the same despite their skin colour? I think it goes deeper than that. Literally. Every race evolved to survive best in their chosen environment. I hate to say this but French Bulldogs and Welsh Corgi's have completely different personalities, yet they still fall under the same umbrella "Dogs". Think about it. .
Because (at least on Earth thays for sure) we are the FIRST sapient species Eventually another one could develop with enough time But it would take millions of years
The answer to that is genetic drift. Genetic mutations occur and this causes a random change in the DNA sequence which is why Species seperate gradually over a long period time. Natural selection also affects it but Genetic mutations are the main reason as to why there are so many different species in the world.
It s quite subjective what s considered a bad instinct, it might still have bad consequences, and if the instinct p.ex is look after your own survival (aka. ‚selfishness‘), it can get bad, or be considered wrong (though then it really depends on how much). Now yea, for survival selfishness is good, but selflessness can be helpful too in order to get help, so it might harm you and especially others to be selfish in survival -Though I might have misunderstood you

Having a long childhood when you don't have any other advantage (can't run fast enough, can't fly, can't swim, not enough body hair, fur for warmth) seems, evolutionarily speaking, a huge risk--why should it have happened that way--if that is the real reason at all? Is there any new information to explain why/how humans separated from chimp evolution, shedding body hair, in exchange for elongated childhoods, bipedalism etc? Considering conditions at the time, seems like devolution. And why is it NO OTHER SPECIES seems on its way to where we are, after all these millennia??
i think humanity is so advanced and successful as a species mostly because of our unique ability to collect and share information for generation and generations.
I believe the recording/handing down of information across the generations of humans explains the process of our advancement in technology. However, that still leaves the major question of "why" exactly, and to what ultimate end does humanity truly require of technology? I say if we can question it, we can find the answer.
I think its not the ultimate end in sight that humans had in their mind when they developed processes, technology and society concurrently. Short sightedness worked because in that time, even short sightedness was way beyond the thought process of other animals and slowly slowly, we build upon that.

Dear A Random Guy, Despite human intelligence, you apparently lack the ability to write properly. I do realize that it's likely that you aren't a native English speaker, or you may not have gone to grade school, so this isn't meant to be insulting, but that's not how capitalization, sentences, spaces, grammar, punctuation, or spelling works. Here are a few tips to help you to learn English writing: - Don't capitalize words that are in the middle of a sentence. - When you use a comma, put a space after it. - When using brackets, a single bracket on each side will do. - Don't put question marks in the middle of sentences. - Don't put things in quotations or capitalize them for no reason. - When you finish a sentence, end it with a period. Start the next sentence with a capital. - Only put one space between words. - Don't put "well" at the beginning of sentences for no reason. - When there is a red line under a word, that means you spelled it wrong. Good luck! I have edited your comment and corrected all of the bizarre mistakes. Feel free to delete your original comment, and replace it with the now-correct version posted below. You may want to go through it line-by-line, so you can learn how to write. You're welcome. Well, I think the ability to 'think' probably originated when we picked up stones, thought about it, shaved them, and put them on sticks to make spears (their thoughts and 'whys'). Why was the one stone sharper than the other? Why was stone by itself not cutting well enough? That 'why' changed the reality of humans forever. We think about why we are here. The answer would probably be because we asked "why" in the first place. I think that every single decision that is made consciously or by habit creates a new future. I drank coffee this evening, and this could change the entire universe forever. I cannot go back, as everything is a life-changing decision.

We also have to consider humans great Fine motor skills as a crucial factor; an animal can have an amazing notion of how to create a tool from their surroundings but without the ability to actually execute the idea there's little benefit from it. Look at the way chimpanzees and other great apes besides humans use tools; they have the notion of using tools for cutting, breaking and even washing, but they do it in a not very productive way given how low their Fine motor skills are.
One problem I have with this is right at the start, why could it not be 1 alone who did this? If one person without a sharp rock, had the idea of making one to fit in, which then led to ideas in others to recreate what others have but they don't? Evolution 101
If humans didn’t continue making tools we would not have this conversation. That would be the state of the world, one with humans but primitive ones. We cannot be sure we are the “final outcome”, or that we were meant to form society etc. So it’s no “crazy big coincidence that cannot be a coincidence”, it just is what it is.
Lazy Boi237 but what the guy saying is true. Humans pollute the earth knowing their polluting, but continue to do so even though so far this is our only home.

Of course bro we have learned a lot from the animals, making clothes just like the spider makes his web, build houses just like the beaver, but after all we have the biggest brain so thats why we are the ruler of the world right now, we have learned so much from survival in the evolution we made, its beautiful if you think about it.
I don't still understand where it all started.. but I think one reason why human brain grows exponentially over generations is our capability to store and express information. Language/ effective communication is a key part.

Jessie lumpia we evolved but as humans we were never chimps, clearly if we were once chimps wouldn't you think all the other chimps would of figured out how to be human.

@@francismausley7239 Wrong, non humans animals are tougher because they have to survive on their own or for the sake of their queen/king like ants but humans could walk on their feet and make tools which made surviving easier for human and with time they lost most of their natural capacity so they had to use tactics because of that.
We are not the exception. Its just that we humans kinda killed the other slightly less Inteligent species. Even if we at some point shared this planet with another equally super Inteligent species. We would fight with then, and in the end only one of them would remain. Asking themselves why are they the only one alone. We humans often dislike what is different, the Inteligence that we have doesn't prevent us from being stupid.
This is not the true answer, to find that we have to solve what caused or allowed us to evolve into having children with such long childhoods when doing so goes against our chances of surviving. Almost all species have very short childhoods, they are born and within a few months they are strong and ready to fight. This happens to ensure they survive. Why did humans not evolve like all other animals? What did we have that allowed us to survive as a defenseless child so well?
Co-Operation is also a very huge factor, solitary beings even with extreme skills survive much harder than being that co-operate with each other, these beings also develop social skills, which in turn further enables the ability to learn.
I’ll say the biggest factor is language ; how could we cooperate without understanding each other ? That’s, I think, the main difference between us and other intelligent animals, a tiny evolutionary slip in the throat and bam we’re 8 billions.

@@prumchhangsreng979 "but they dont learn it or make a discovery or scientific breakthrough. Its part of their nature and instinct." Not entirely true. Many other animals have culture. Scientists tend to define culture as that which is learned and passed on from individual to individual, rather than that which is purely instinctive. Other animals do this too, it's just that human culture is much more advanced in many aspects. But all of this advanced human behavior is merely a consequence of superior intelligence. Particularly the abstract form of intelligence which is very much thought to have evolved alongside anatomical capabilities of doing much more complex and controlled vocalisations than that of our close ape cousins, which has allowed for much more advanced language and communication. And language very abstract. When it comes to abstract intelligence, there are just no other animals that are quite as good at abstract thinking as us humans. But there are many other animals that are also exceptionally good, particularly many of the different species of whales and dolphins have quite advanced language and consequently quite advanced abstract capabilities, just not quite as good as us humans. But out of all the animals, one animal had to come out on top and be the better animal at abstract intelligence, and it just so happens that it was us humans that drew that straw. But that doesn't make us into something which is not an animal, it just makes us into a very intelligent animal, probably the most intelligent animal.
@Danny fact is we are sometimes learning from animals....my professor told me he was doing a research on factors that is affected before an earthquake..and he told me he was amazed by how fast animals react to the situation...they must have seen or felt what we don't....he said there is a variation in concentration of ions prior to a strong earthquake..and maybe animals sense them....maybe they sense electron tempr. variations....which proves they are already ahead of us in many ways...they don't have to go to moon to prove it...again it's just an example..there are many.
I would say the biggest difference above all others is our capacity to think where as other animals simply act on their instincts for the most part. And of course the capacity to use tools.
Brain is a small difference to you? Do you think intel i9 cpu is so different than intel 4004? Multiply this by 1 trillion to get the different between your brain and ape's
Humans are one of a kind. I don't think evolution alone can explain our uniqueness among the innumerable lifeforms. I'm not sure you can even classify us as animals. It may be more accurate to say we are descended from animals or we have animal ancestry. But clearly, we also have a spark of the divine. We aren't just more intelligent than animals. We are fundamentally different. Animals are more like biological automatons, where as we have free will. Moreover, I've never seen an animal appear to comprehend the sublime. You never see them stopping to take in a beautiful view. They never appear to marvel at human creations, or show any interest in music. Even the most primitive humans, if they discovered a watch, would wonder who made it. They would know it doesn't belong in nature, where as a pidgeon sees Notre Dame as just another rock to perch on. You can't explain away the mystery of humanity by saying we have longer childhoods, or a superior ability to transmit our culture. I'm sure you could artificially extend a chimp's childhood in order to test if this idea is true, but we already know it won't make a difference. We won't ever be able to teach an animal our culture. They simply lack the interest and the ability, nor will they ever evolve the ability. If it were that easy, it would have happened hundreds of times by now.
Extending from the thought that we aren’t biological automations and have free will, would that mean that there is a threshold where nature makes a species such as humans as a way for the earth to spread its seed through the cosmos and we are in the making of it? , because I imagine once we start colonizing other planets, we will adapt and evolve based on that planet environment, the earth would simply be like a flower that releases its pollen and we are the bees that carry it through the universe.
So much bullshit, we're simply more intelligent animals, nothing more. Also, other animals have free will as well, they can choose where to go, when they want to hunt, when they want to make babies etc. We are, in a sense, also less free than them, considering justice, prison, society, work, money and things like that exist for us.
the only reason humans are "smarter" is because we got the right set of events our ancient ancestors evolved to grasp trees and such, something happened and we left those trees and migrated. ether during or after that migration we developed and used simple things such as bones and sticks to defend ourselves from predators. as they walked, some apes began to stand upright, as it's more effective and uses less energy to move around on ground (this also lead to children being born early due to hips shrinking as more generations walked upright to better walk upright. full body hair was not needed and so gradually faded generation by generation. skipping to the point where fire was found, cooking meat gave more calories and so humans didn't need to hunt as often, leading to humans being able to advance themselves in other aspects, both technicology wise, as well as socially. tools and language advanced, and humans started to become more than just another animal in the world, skipping a bit more to discovering agriculture, which allowed humans to stay in one area rather than move from place to place to hunt and gather, as more food was made, more humans came along, which allowed for more food to be made, which lead to more humans and you get the point, society was made. With so many humans, advancing science was able to reach new heights as more and more people came along. it should be easy to see where all that leads to.
But then, you can still ask, what are the genetic origins of prolonged acculturation. Or ask, what are the mechanisms by which we assimilate culture, or turn scattered data into something coherent? Can Chimps do what we do, given four times as much time? How does human language, music and mathematical skills play apart? And how did these skills provide an adaptive advantage? Tool making, we have some reason to believe, is enhanced by language instruction, for example.

Because we have more evolved brains, simple, our bodies are the same as other animals, but our brains are different, not even better, just different, because other animals are way smarter when it comes to hunting, camouflage, and survival in their environment, we need weapons to hunt, unless they are very small creatures, for example, if you put a bare human and a lion against each other, the lion would win because it is stronger, and knows how to hunt better, humans are smarter in some areas, and animals are smarter in other areas

Animals do that too, they are courious and learn new things. They do it for the same reasons as we do, and even we do not realise our reasons behind our behavior most of the time. The big difference between us is - we’re not in constant survival mode so we can examine more abstract concepts, and information flow - passing information over generations which is possible only because of language and societal lifestyle.

Pugsy Malone No, there is truth to us being different. Like an individual ant, an individual human is not so much different from an animal. What makes humans unique is not necessarily our intelligence, or any quality we have for that matter, but how we communicate WITH each other. Our greatest asset by far is our ability to pass on and build upon information we share. All other aspects are, while important, merely supplemental. It is impossible for the human species to evolve as it did without such social ability, both in the development of our brain and technological development.
Well look around the planet. We are everywhere, our buildings are everywhere, out art is everywhere, our technology is everywhere. Have u ever seen an animal with minds so complex that we can create art and theorise our own origins?
Alexandre Oliveira Very true, and thats why we are so different, our intelligence/uniqueness is our greatest strength but it is also our greatest weakness
Man is not an animal but has a dual nature. "In his material aspect he expresses untruth, cruelty and injustice; all these are the outcome of his lower nature. The attributes of his Divine nature are shown forth in love, mercy, kindness, truth and justice, one and all being expressions of his higher nature." ~ Baha'i Faith
dude what non-sense are you spitting?? humans indeed are animals... its our arrogant instinct to think we are special... other animals(specially mammals) have the sense of love just like us... chimps can express feelings and can learn to use different tools for their comfort... elephants mourn on the death of their loved ones and heck even perform funerals dogs and cows can sense the earthquake before it actually happens there are so many things that other animals can do just like us and more... everything has to do with evolution ! try to roam alone in the wild and you will know who is superior !
@@marcus.the.younger Animals have superior "senses" and mobility, strength, speed and even more - keen navigational instincts and communication as well as basic emotions or affections. But, their intelligence is physical - materialistically based (i.e. monkeys using reeds as straws etc.) They do not have any "abstract" thinking - only man has that. They aren't going to understand Information Technology. Also, the greatest of Men (Messengers of God as Christ, Muhammad, Krishna, Baha'u'llah etc. etc.) have a power beyond man - the power of Revelation.
@humansAreAnimals The Baha'i quotes are not Christian. Man has an animal nature and an angelic nature, but his essential nature is spiritual with exceptional powers of the intellect that no animal shares.

@ You can't ignore certain realities of life. As matter can't be destroyed, there is no real "death."

@@077di6 Oh I'm sorry that I don't feel like explaining exactly what I fucking mean when you should already understand. I knew this was gonna happen as I was typing it out. So stfu and leave.
Because humans has too many weaknesses and the only way to compensate is to use our brains so our evolutionary path was focused on developing our brains, plus the fact that we are naturally lazy resulted to us being innovative in a way.
P.S.N JIMMYACE881 oh honey, there's numerous animals significantly intelligent than us. Dolphins, whales, dozens of bird species, the list goes on and on and on. Only an imbecile thinks humans are the smartest animal species, get over yourself babe.

@Sonic ASMR just repeating stupid sayings won`t make them right,no ,humans did not create languages,the language skills developed just any other useful adaptations,we may say,we created art,architecture,artificial languages like Esperanto or FORTRAN etc,.that`s correct way to describe these developments,but language developed in the process of evolution.
@Sonic ASMR well.just to make clear to you,that what you fancy is the explanation for how language works is wrong.You would benefit and possibly come to understanding the mechanisms of language development,if you just spent some more time exploring the subject without pronouncing idiotic half-baked "insights".It is OK not to know,but it is fundamentally wrong and harmful to insist that ignorance has the same right as science in public discourage.Best of luck in learning!
Humans evolved from other species. And so there were plenty of humans that co-existed with other species and other human species as well like denisovans, neanderthals, homo erectus, homo florensis,etc. Before homosapiens we evolved from Homo Heidelbergenis which is actually our common ancestor with Neanderthals.

Why? It isnt real and its just an old book of lunacies, you can say all you want that animals dont have souls so how come they live, love, and die like us, we are animals, split at an evolutionary branch from our cousind, how come we look like them, do the same stuff like them, finger nails, teeth, thumbs, even the backside is similar. So dont believe in a god and live your life to the fullest because there aint no second chance.
@@Facklewhore Rock, Humans don't have the same DNA as anything else. That's the scientific reason we are called humans. Surely you learned that in school, didn't you? . God called the first humans "Adam" and "Eve".
That’s easy answer: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1, ESV) 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:26, ESV) No need waste public money on this stupid research , just open Bible and read all is there 👍
@ＯＦＡＲＡ Dude he’s saying beings from another planet “aliens” merged their dna with a monkey/like animal (probably chimp or bonobo-like) long ago & that’s why (per your science love) we share 96% of our dna with chimps/bonobos. No point calling them aliens though because they were our Gods & we fell from their grace so now we feel disconnected from all & our own creation story. The Bible is the truth so let go of your ego & you’ll develop in the truth & see this. Those same forces who created us are probably trying to get us back into the paradise ‘garden’ we originated in. It has to do with the serpent in humans (full of shit, literally) & our species-specific diet (we aren’t meant to cook our food, we should stop that as soon as possible)
@ＯＦＡＲＡThe Bible isn’t a belief. It’s conveying the truth in a way to where it cannot be altered by those with an evil (opposite of live) agenda. It’s speaking in astrological fables to correct the fate of humanity, so only those who have connection to the truth can even understand The Bible. It’s what the majority of the world knows in their heart is truth. Look up videos of the human creation story. Actually, you can remember all of it if you just let yourself, all of the answers are already within us. There is so much evidence if you are completely non-reliant on experiences that aren’t your own. I’ve researched this for years. We have a species-specific diet like every other animal does & we forgot about it when we started using fire like a drug to cook our food & eat all kinds of things that cause us health issues as a species, things we aren’t biologically adapted to eat. That’s why the Bible says we are “fallen” & at the beginning (Genesis 1:29) it tells us exactly what God designed the human being to be eating & thrive off of, in its raw form of course. We are literally full of shit. Literally.
@ＯＦＡＲＡ Again, the Bible you have to be in live in order to understand the Bible, otherwise evil people would have altered it long ago. People would refrain from hurting their own species & insulting their own species if we lived in paradise (pre-fall) because we were eating our species-specific diet (like every other animal on the planet is.) We would all agree on everything because The Most High is an actual reality. Love is all that truly exists & the soul is all that you are, everything else is temporary. It is non-dual. We are a species that has fallen from grace & was once in a golden age (the cause of the fall being that we started COOKING OUR FOOD & this causes us to make many mistakes as a species which has now led us to where we are now, people getting injected with chemicals & believing that tiny entities are attacking them & making them sick. When in reality, contagion is a complete myth/lie. The cause of all of man’s disconnection from the TRUTH that the Bible is also trying to convey, is because we are eating the wrong foods because we started cooking our food long ago (the first initial mistake & fall of mankind that the Bible is speaking about.) But the good thing is that we now have the information & the solution, which is to stop doing the wrong thing (cooking our food) & to stop eating the wrong foods so the system can be flushed & healthy again which maximizes the biophotons in the body, which corrects all of the mistakes man has made since the original fall of mankind (the cooking of our food.) I am not concerned with all of the other religions, they think they are right, and they may be right in their own way. What I am telling you, is that the reason we feel do not realize we are all one & we are love, created by The Most High & are children of The Most High is because of the cooking of our food (fall of mankind & kicked out of the ‘garden’ paradise) long ago. The Bible is the holy book of our current time which has stood up the best & has evaded backwards alteration by the dark forces. That’s why I am referencing the Bible rather than the other holy books. As I stated in my last comment, I provided you a massive multitude of evidence or proof by telling you to use the search bar to watch videos regarding the human creation story. Those videos contain a lot of evidence that you were asking me for. You’re right though, saying that The Bible is conveying the truth, is saying that it is conveying The Most High to human beings in a way that they can understand, & so the messages remains untampered with & unaltered by dark forces with an ulterior motive. Peace upon you. 💓💗💜♥️
@ＯＦＡＲＡ Here is something from the Essene Gospel of Peace which is outside of The Modern Bible: The Essene Gospel of Peace ************************************************************* Excerpts from the Third Century Aramaic Manuscript and Old Slavonic Texts Compared, Edited and Translated by EDMOND BORDEAUX SZEKELY And Jesus continued: "God commanded your forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to you: Kill neither men nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also..... ...For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also." "Master, where is the fire of life?" asked some of them. "In you, in your blood, and in your bodies." "And the fire of death?" asked others. "It is the fire which blazes outside your body, which is hotter than your blood. With that fire of death you cook your foods in your homes and in your fields. I tell you truly, it is the same fire which destroys your foods and your bodies, even as the fire of malice, which ravages your thoughts, ravages your spirits. For your body is that which you eat, and your spirit is that which you think. Eat nothing, therefore, which a stronger fire than the fire of life has killed. Wherefore, prepare and eat all fruits of trees, and all grasses of the fields, and all milk of beasts good for eating. For all these are fed and ripened by the fire of life; all are the gift of the angels of our Earthly Mother. But eat nothing to which only the fire of death gives savor, for such is of Satan." "How should we cook our daily bread without fire, Master?" asked some with great astonishment. "Let the angels of God prepare your bread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it in the air, that the angel of air may also embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did your forefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put them back again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to its highest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embraced there also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set.....For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread, and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread, and the body. And the living angels of the living God serve only living men. For God is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead. "So eat always from the table of God: the fruits of the trees, the grains and grasses of the field, the milk of beasts, and the honey of bees..... ....Eat, therefore, all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will never see want. And when you eat at her table, eat all things even as they are found on the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not, neither mix al things one with another, lest your bowels become as steaming bogs. For I tell you truly, this is abominable in the eyes of the Lord. "And be not like the greedy servant, who always ate up, at the table of his lord, the portions of others. And he devoured everything himself, and mixed all together in his gluttony. And seeing that, his lord was wroth with him, and drove him from the table. And when all had ended their meal, he mixed together all that remained upon the table, and called the greedy servant to him, and said: 'Take and eat all this with the swine, for your place is with them, and not at my table.'.... ..."And when you eat, never eat unto fulness.....live by your spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.

I think that in someway we can be biased that we consider ourselves completely different from animals, some forget that it took millions of years to evolve into the current species of Humanity, they use the excuse of the technology, artitecture, scientific acheivements and what we have done progressively to diffentiate us from animals like Wolves, Rabbits and Chimps, while I agree that its impressive, we mostly forget that not everything is perfect or like a utopia that people like to claim, we can act irritationally, the smartest we have to offer are only a minority, even the most average intelligent people can make irritational mistakes, we are still constrained to our primitive instincts; Reproducing regardless of how horrible the living standards people are in and self preservation regardless if a situation is actually dangerous or not. If we remained neutral and not 100% certain about something in a biased manner, than most people would at least treat non-humans with dignity (I know that there are people who care about animals, myself included, its probably because some have a caring personality, even for completely different species, not to the point of doing... unsual things that we would consider immoral or disgusting, that doesn't represent the majority, if anything, they're just following the law because they don't want to get introuble or they may actually care about animals, but regardless, there are people who still mistreat animals as if we're somehow not animals to a different capacity.)

What i find even more impressive is the rate at which technologie evolved. Considering humans started using tools millions of years ago most major development only happened within the last hundreds of years. The oldest people still alive witnessed the uprise of technology from basic electric equipment to what we have now.

We are all born stupid, more so than many other animals and far more helpless. Having 2 loving and caring parents for support and guidance is so crucial to intelligence and then expanded upon by interaction with others in school.
"And that's OK, experts say. The extra time that humans need to acquire these abilities is part of the evolutionary trade-off for having highly developed brains capable of managing complex reasoning, communication and social interaction, alongside the physical requirements and capabilities of our adult bodies."

I used to think humans are very unique, but we are actually similar to ants. They also use tools, they also live in society, they also have pets (even slaves), they also have highways, build roads, have leader, workers, etc.
Only difference is that we are much bigger then ants and therefore can gather much more resources then them (since we have more power). I think if ants were as big as us that they would easily dominate the world
Human brain is the dangerous thing on earth it cant destroy earth itself

Ants are unselfish and will die for their colony. Humans will kill another human for their own selfish wants. That's the difference. Ants are better.
@@AiGeneratedWaluigi Ikr? It's an impossible advantage. I don't think an ant body could support itself in our size. Humans are so damn OP, like what other animal could even come close to landing on the goddamn moon!
The video answers the question 'how' but not 'why'. Why did single celled organisms living in the same ecosystem, subjected to the same natural events allegedly evolved so differently that one became human and the other remained single-celled? Moreover, why we don't find several species creating advanced civilizations that compete together? Why only one animal species (humans) managed to achieve that by a huge margin? Other animals are not even close.
Science doesnt answer the why questions. Only the hows
Because we HAD to be. Our evolution acquired a lot of thinking. It got to a point where we went from Neanderthaler to early human species. We became smarter and smarter. Each time with more curiosity. We're talking tens of thousands of years. Also, the big migration played a huge part in how we evolved. Do you believe humans are all the same despite their skin colour? I think it goes deeper than that. Literally. Every race evolved to survive best in their chosen environment. I hate to say this but French Bulldogs and Welsh Corgi's have completely different personalities, yet they still fall under the same umbrella "Dogs". Think about it. .
Because (at least on Earth thays for sure) we are the FIRST sapient species
Eventually another one could develop with enough time But it would take millions of years
@@Jpx0999 You answered the question by stating the same fact that we all observe again but you didn't give a scientific explanation.
The answer to that is genetic drift. Genetic mutations occur and this causes a random change in the DNA sequence which is why Species seperate gradually over a long period time. Natural selection also affects it but Genetic mutations are the main reason as to why there are so many different species in the world.
When it comes to survival, this is my favorite quote about instinct: "There are no bad instincts. Only bad environments." Dan Sadler
It s quite subjective what s considered a bad instinct, it might still have bad consequences, and if the instinct p.ex is look after your own survival (aka. ‚selfishness‘), it can get bad, or be considered wrong (though then it really depends on how much). Now yea, for survival selfishness is good, but selflessness can be helpful too in order to get help, so it might harm you and especially others to be selfish in survival

Is there any new information to explain why/how humans separated from chimp evolution, shedding body hair, in exchange for elongated childhoods, bipedalism etc?

I believe the recording/handing down of information across the generations of humans explains the process of our advancement in technology.
However, that still leaves the major question of "why" exactly, and to what ultimate end does humanity truly require of technology? I say if we can question it, we can find the answer.
I think its not the ultimate end in sight that humans had in their mind when they developed processes, technology and society concurrently. Short sightedness worked because in that time, even short sightedness was way beyond the thought process of other animals and slowly slowly, we build upon that.

But why are we the only species capable of all this? I feel like this is the real question that should be answered. What is the reason behind it all?
There isn't a clear answer yet but some scientists have ideas.

Dear A Random Guy,
Despite human intelligence, you apparently lack the ability to write properly. I do realize that it's likely that you aren't a native English speaker, or you may not have gone to grade school, so this isn't meant to be insulting, but that's not how capitalization, sentences, spaces, grammar, punctuation, or spelling works.
Here are a few tips to help you to learn English writing:
- Don't capitalize words that are in the middle of a sentence.
- When you use a comma, put a space after it.
- When using brackets, a single bracket on each side will do.
- Don't put question marks in the middle of sentences.
- Don't put things in quotations or capitalize them for no reason.
- When you finish a sentence, end it with a period. Start the next sentence with a capital.
- Only put one space between words.
- Don't put "well" at the beginning of sentences for no reason.
- When there is a red line under a word, that means you spelled it wrong.
Good luck!
I have edited your comment and corrected all of the bizarre mistakes. Feel free to delete your original comment, and replace it with the now-correct version posted below. You may want to go through it line-by-line, so you can learn how to write. You're welcome.
Well, I think the ability to 'think' probably originated when we picked up stones, thought about it, shaved them, and put them on sticks to make spears (their thoughts and 'whys'). Why was the one stone sharper than the other? Why was stone by itself not cutting well enough? That 'why' changed the reality of humans forever. We think about why we are here. The answer would probably be because we asked "why" in the first place. I think that every single decision that is made consciously or by habit creates a new future.

@@caesar7786 yeah give them about 200 million years they will become advanced species, we aren't the only ones but the first ones.
We also have to consider humans great Fine motor skills as a crucial factor; an animal can have an amazing notion of how to create a tool from their surroundings but without the ability to actually execute the idea there's little benefit from it.
Look at the way chimpanzees and other great apes besides humans use tools; they have the notion of using tools for cutting, breaking and even washing, but they do it in a not very productive way given how low their Fine motor skills are.
One problem I have with this is right at the start, why could it not be 1 alone who did this? If one person without a sharp rock, had the idea of making one to fit in, which then led to ideas in others to recreate what others have but they don't? Evolution 101
If humans didn’t continue making tools we would not have this conversation. That would be the state of the world, one with humans but primitive ones. We cannot be sure we are the “final outcome”, or that we were meant to form society etc. So it’s no “crazy big coincidence that cannot be a coincidence”, it just is what it is.
Brilliant. We can evolve as society, culture and everyone who works contributes. Every job has its inportant purpose.

We are not the exception. Its just that we humans kinda killed the other slightly less Inteligent species. Even if we at some point shared this planet with another equally super Inteligent species. We would fight with then, and in the end only one of them would remain. Asking themselves why are they the only one alone.
We humans often dislike what is different, the Inteligence that we have doesn't prevent us from being stupid.
So after watching 6.5 min video it came down to 2 things
1. Culture
2. Longer childhood period
Is that right or am I missing anything?
Opposable thumbs and eating cooked foods too helped us become smarter
This is not the true answer, to find that we have to solve what caused or allowed us to evolve into having children with such long childhoods when doing so goes against our chances of surviving. Almost all species have very short childhoods, they are born and within a few months they are strong and ready to fight. This happens to ensure they survive. Why did humans not evolve like all other animals?
What did we have that allowed us to survive as a defenseless child so well?
Co-Operation is also a very huge factor, solitary beings even with extreme skills survive much harder than being that co-operate with each other, these beings also develop social skills, which in turn further enables the ability to learn.
I’ll say the biggest factor is language ; how could we cooperate without understanding each other ? That’s, I think, the main difference between us and other intelligent animals, a tiny evolutionary slip in the throat and bam we’re 8 billions.
At the end of the day humans are still animals

Not entirely true. Many other animals have culture. Scientists tend to define culture as that which is learned and passed on from individual to individual, rather than that which is purely instinctive. Other animals do this too, it's just that human culture is much more advanced in many aspects.
But all of this advanced human behavior is merely a consequence of superior intelligence. Particularly the abstract form of intelligence which is very much thought to have evolved alongside anatomical capabilities of doing much more complex and controlled vocalisations than that of our close ape cousins, which has allowed for much more advanced language and communication. And language very abstract.
When it comes to abstract intelligence, there are just no other animals that are quite as good at abstract thinking as us humans. But there are many other animals that are also exceptionally good, particularly many of the different species of whales and dolphins have quite advanced language and consequently quite advanced abstract capabilities, just not quite as good as us humans.
But out of all the animals, one animal had to come out on top and be the better animal at abstract intelligence, and it just so happens that it was us humans that drew that straw. But that doesn't make us into something which is not an animal, it just makes us into a very intelligent animal, probably the most intelligent animal.
@Danny fact is we are sometimes learning from animals....my professor told me he was doing a research on factors that is affected before an earthquake..and he told me he was amazed by how fast animals react to the situation...they must have seen or felt what we don't....he said there is a variation in concentration of ions prior to a strong earthquake..and maybe animals sense them....maybe they sense electron tempr. variations....which proves they are already ahead of us in many ways...they don't have to go to moon to prove it...again it's just an example..there are many.

Humans are one of a kind. I don't think evolution alone can explain our uniqueness among the innumerable lifeforms. I'm not sure you can even classify us as animals. It may be more accurate to say we are descended from animals or we have animal ancestry. But clearly, we also have a spark of the divine.
We aren't just more intelligent than animals. We are fundamentally different. Animals are more like biological automatons, where as we have free will. Moreover, I've never seen an animal appear to comprehend the sublime. You never see them stopping to take in a beautiful view. They never appear to marvel at human creations, or show any interest in music. Even the most primitive humans, if they discovered a watch, would wonder who made it. They would know it doesn't belong in nature, where as a pidgeon sees Notre Dame as just another rock to perch on.
You can't explain away the mystery of humanity by saying we have longer childhoods, or a superior ability to transmit our culture. I'm sure you could artificially extend a chimp's childhood in order to test if this idea is true, but we already know it won't make a difference. We won't ever be able to teach an animal our culture. They simply lack the interest and the ability, nor will they ever evolve the ability. If it were that easy, it would have happened hundreds of times by now.
Extending from the thought that we aren’t biological automations and have free will, would that mean that there is a threshold where nature makes a species such as humans as a way for the earth to spread its seed through the cosmos and we are in the making of it? , because I imagine once we start colonizing other planets, we will adapt and evolve based on that planet environment, the earth would simply be like a flower that releases its pollen and we are the bees that carry it through the universe.
@DepressedAcorn it’s just a thought
So much bullshit, we're simply more intelligent animals, nothing more.
Also, other animals have free will as well, they can choose where to go, when they want to hunt, when they want to make babies etc.
We are, in a sense, also less free than them, considering justice, prison, society, work, money and things like that exist for us.
the only reason humans are "smarter" is because we got the right set of events
our ancient ancestors evolved to grasp trees and such, something happened and we left those trees and migrated.
ether during or after that migration we developed and used simple things such as bones and sticks to defend ourselves from predators.
as they walked, some apes began to stand upright, as it's more effective and uses less energy to move around on ground (this also lead to children being born early due to hips shrinking as more generations walked upright to better walk upright.
full body hair was not needed and so gradually faded generation by generation.
skipping to the point where fire was found, cooking meat gave more calories and so humans didn't need to hunt as often, leading to humans being able to advance themselves in other aspects, both technicology wise, as well as socially.
tools and language advanced, and humans started to become more than just another animal in the world, skipping a bit more to discovering agriculture, which allowed humans to stay in one area rather than move from place to place to hunt and gather, as more food was made, more humans came along, which allowed for more food to be made, which lead to more humans and you get the point, society was made. With so many humans, advancing science was able to reach new heights as more and more people came along. it should be easy to see where all that leads to.
But then, you can still ask, what are the genetic origins of prolonged acculturation. Or ask, what are the mechanisms by which we assimilate culture, or turn scattered data into something coherent? Can Chimps do what we do, given four times as much time? How does human language, music and mathematical skills play apart? And how did these skills provide an adaptive advantage? Tool making, we have some reason to believe, is enhanced by language instruction, for example.
I wouldn’t say we’re really that different from other animals.

Because we have more evolved brains, simple, our bodies are the same as other animals, but our brains are different, not even better, just different, because other animals are way smarter when it comes to hunting, camouflage, and survival in their environment, we need weapons to hunt, unless they are very small creatures, for example, if you put a bare human and a lion against each other, the lion would win because it is stronger, and knows how to hunt better, humans are smarter in some areas, and animals are smarter in other areas

Animals do that too, they are courious and learn new things. They do it for the same reasons as we do, and even we do not realise our reasons behind our behavior most of the time. The big difference between us is - we’re not in constant survival mode so we can examine more abstract concepts, and information flow - passing information over generations which is possible only because of language and societal lifestyle.

What makes humans unique is not necessarily our intelligence, or any quality we have for that matter, but how we communicate WITH each other.

It is impossible for the human species to evolve as it did without such social ability, both in the development of our brain and technological development.

everything has to do with evolution !
try to roam alone in the wild and you will know who is superior !
@@marcus.the.younger Animals have superior "senses" and mobility, strength, speed and even more - keen navigational instincts and communication as well as basic emotions or affections. But, their intelligence is physical - materialistically based (i.e. monkeys using reeds as straws etc.) They do not have any "abstract" thinking - only man has that. They aren't going to understand Information Technology. Also, the greatest of Men (Messengers of God as Christ, Muhammad, Krishna, Baha'u'llah etc. etc.) have a power beyond man - the power of Revelation.
@humansAreAnimals The Baha'i quotes are not Christian. Man has an animal nature and an angelic nature, but his essential nature is spiritual with exceptional powers of the intellect that no animal shares.
Not Christian, I'm a Baha'i but believe "He has the animal side as well as the angelic side, and the aim of an Educator is to so train human souls that their angelic aspect may overcome their animal side." ~ Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Faith
@ You can't ignore certain realities of life. As matter can't be destroyed, there is no real "death." The mineral ascends into the plant; the plant ascends into the animal; the animal ascends upward or becomes mineral again. Our abstract thinking and spiritual gifts make us supreme and caretakers of this world... hopefully we will prove worthy.
Anybody else stoned? I find this stuff so fascinating while I'm high.
Why is it so hard for humans to realize that this is all God

Because humans has too many weaknesses and the only way to compensate is to use our brains so our evolutionary path was focused on developing our brains, plus the fact that we are naturally lazy resulted to us being innovative in a way.
So one person went "this rock sharp"...
Were not were just smart

Gee,I don't know try WE CREATED THOUSANDS OF INVENTIONS,INCLUDING TONS OF TECHNOLOGY AND 10,000 LANGUAGES?????
Try that.
10,000 languages? really? that's fucking impressive I never would have guessed
no Dear Queenie,we have not created languages,this skill developed organically with other skills so useful and fundamental to evolving human culture
@Sonic ASMR just repeating stupid sayings won`t make them right,no ,humans did not create languages,the language skills developed just any other useful adaptations,we may say,we created art,architecture,artificial languages like Esperanto or FORTRAN etc,.that`s correct way to describe these developments,but language developed in the process of evolution.
@Sonic ASMR well.just to make clear to you,that what you fancy is the explanation for how language works is wrong.You would benefit and possibly come to understanding the mechanisms of language development,if you just spent some more time exploring the subject without pronouncing idiotic half-baked "insights".It is OK not to know,but it is fundamentally wrong and harmful to insist that ignorance has the same right as science in public discourage.Best of luck in learning!
@Sonic ASMR yes,of course,and the almighty yahwe created all this for our enjoyment,amen!
This makes even more convincing that Humans aren't completely Earthians.
We are 100% Terran, we are to close to the other great apes to be from a different source.
what if humans actually evolved from beings not from earth and that's why we are so much more intelligent than other life on the planet.
I am sorry but one question remained at end What happened ????????
I wonder if the first humans ever felt alone. They must have been looking for another animal on earth that could understand them.
Humans evolved from other species. And so there were plenty of humans that co-existed with other species and other human species as well like denisovans, neanderthals, homo erectus, homo florensis,etc. Before homosapiens we evolved from Homo Heidelbergenis which is actually our common ancestor with Neanderthals.
Why my teacher always got us watching something you Mrs gorl pack it mrs I don’t have a child hood like I don’t want to be a activist about this so y do I have to learn it idc about this
Humans are NOT animals. We were made in the image of God.
People need to step up from believing in Gods, what is the possibility there is onr, we cant see him and "Jesus" was probably a mad man seeing things. It says that Christianity was a lie only made because science was too hard to explain nor comprehend, thats why they explain to create existence in 7 days, thry legit had us fooled for thousands of years, now lets think about other animals in the planet, they wont be able to understand a bible. Why? It isnt real and its just an old book of lunacies, you can say all you want that animals dont have souls so how come they live, love, and die like us, we are animals, split at an evolutionary branch from our cousind, how come we look like them, do the same stuff like them, finger nails, teeth, thumbs, even the backside is similar. So dont believe in a god and live your life to the fullest because there aint no second chance.

@@earlysda if we aren't animals, then why do we have the same DNA as other primates?
@@Facklewhore Rock, Humans don't have the same DNA as anything else.
That's the scientific reason we are called humans.
Surely you learned that in school, didn't you?
.
God called the first humans "Adam" and "Eve".
That’s easy answer: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1, ESV)
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:26, ESV)
No need waste public money on this stupid research , just open Bible and read all is there 👍
@ＯＦＡＲＡ
Science is there to mislead people from the truth
@ＯＦＡＲＡ Dude he’s saying beings from another planet “aliens” merged their dna with a monkey/like animal (probably chimp or bonobo-like) long ago & that’s why (per your science love) we share 96% of our dna with chimps/bonobos.
No point calling them aliens though because they were our Gods & we fell from their grace so now we feel disconnected from all & our own creation story. The Bible is the truth so let go of your ego & you’ll develop in the truth & see this. Those same forces who created us are probably trying to get us back into the paradise ‘garden’ we originated in. It has to do with the serpent in humans (full of shit, literally) & our species-specific diet (we aren’t meant to cook our food, we should stop that as soon as possible)
@ＯＦＡＲＡThe Bible isn’t a belief. It’s conveying the truth in a way to where it cannot be altered by those with an evil (opposite of live) agenda. It’s speaking in astrological fables to correct the fate of humanity, so only those who have connection to the truth can even understand The Bible. It’s what the majority of the world knows in their heart is truth. Look up videos of the human creation story. Actually, you can remember all of it if you just let yourself, all of the answers are already within us.
There is so much evidence if you are completely non-reliant on experiences that aren’t your own. I’ve researched this for years. We have a species-specific diet like every other animal does & we forgot about it when we started using fire like a drug to cook our food & eat all kinds of things that cause us health issues as a species, things we aren’t biologically adapted to eat. That’s why the Bible says we are “fallen” & at the beginning (Genesis 1:29) it tells us exactly what God designed the human being to be eating & thrive off of, in its raw form of course. We are literally full of shit. Literally.
@ＯＦＡＲＡ Again, the Bible you have to be in live in order to understand the Bible, otherwise evil people would have altered it long ago. People would refrain from hurting their own species & insulting their own species if we lived in paradise (pre-fall) because we were eating our species-specific diet (like every other animal on the planet is.) We would all agree on everything because The Most High is an actual reality. Love is all that truly exists & the soul is all that you are, everything else is temporary. It is non-dual. We are a species that has fallen from grace & was once in a golden age (the cause of the fall being that we started COOKING OUR FOOD & this causes us to make many mistakes as a species which has now led us to where we are now, people getting injected with chemicals & believing that tiny entities are attacking them & making them sick. When in reality, contagion is a complete myth/lie. The cause of all of man’s disconnection from the TRUTH that the Bible is also trying to convey, is because we are eating the wrong foods because we started cooking our food long ago (the first initial mistake & fall of mankind that the Bible is speaking about.) But the good thing is that we now have the information & the solution, which is to stop doing the wrong thing (cooking our food) & to stop eating the wrong foods so the system can be flushed & healthy again which maximizes the biophotons in the body, which corrects all of the mistakes man has made since the original fall
of mankind (the cooking of our food.)
I am not concerned with all of
the other religions, they think they are right, and they may be right in their own way. What I am telling you, is that the reason we feel do not realize we are all one & we are love, created by The Most High & are children of The Most High is because of the cooking of our food (fall
of mankind & kicked out of the ‘garden’ paradise) long ago. The Bible is the holy book of our current time which has stood up the best & has evaded backwards alteration by the dark forces. That’s why I am referencing the Bible rather than the other holy books.
As I stated in my last comment, I provided you a massive multitude of evidence or proof by telling you to use the search bar to watch videos regarding the human creation story. Those videos contain a lot of evidence that you were asking me for. You’re right though, saying that The Bible is conveying the truth, is saying that it is conveying The Most High to human beings in a way that they can understand, & so the messages remains untampered with & unaltered by dark forces with an ulterior motive. Peace upon you. 💓💗💜♥️
@ＯＦＡＲＡ Here is something from the Essene Gospel of Peace which is outside of The Modern Bible:
The Essene Gospel of Peace
*************************************************************
Excerpts from the Third Century Aramaic Manuscript and Old Slavonic Texts
Compared, Edited and Translated by
EDMOND BORDEAUX SZEKELY
And Jesus continued: "God commanded your forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to you: Kill neither men nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also.....
...For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also."
"Master, where is the fire of life?" asked some of them.
"In you, in your blood, and in your bodies."
"And the fire of death?" asked others.
"It is the fire which blazes outside your body, which is hotter than your blood. With that fire of death you cook your foods in your homes and in your fields. I tell you truly, it is the same fire which destroys your foods and your bodies, even as the fire of malice, which ravages your thoughts, ravages your spirits. For your body is that which you eat, and your spirit is that which you think. Eat nothing, therefore, which a stronger fire than the fire of life has killed. Wherefore, prepare and eat all fruits of trees, and all grasses of the fields, and all milk of beasts good for eating. For all these are fed and ripened by the fire of life; all are the gift of the angels of our Earthly Mother. But eat nothing to which only the fire of death gives savor, for such is of Satan."
"How should we cook our daily bread without fire, Master?" asked some with great astonishment.
"Let the angels of God prepare your bread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it in the air, that the angel of air may also embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did your forefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put them back again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to its highest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embraced there also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set.....For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread, and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread, and the body. And the living angels of the living God serve only living men. For God is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead.
"So eat always from the table of God: the fruits of the trees, the grains and grasses of the field, the milk of beasts, and the honey of bees.....
....Eat, therefore, all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will never see want. And when you eat at her table, eat all things even as they are found on the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not, neither mix al things one with another, lest your bowels become as steaming bogs. For I tell you truly, this is abominable in the eyes of the Lord.
"And be not like the greedy servant, who always ate up, at the table of his lord, the portions of others. And he devoured everything himself, and mixed all together in his gluttony. And seeing that, his lord was wroth with him, and drove him from the table. And when all had ended their meal, he mixed together all that remained upon the table, and called the greedy servant to him, and said: 'Take and eat all this with the swine, for your place is with them, and not at my table.'....
..."And when you eat, never eat unto fulness.....live by your spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.
When will people learn the meaning of "unique"? It means "one of a kind," so things cannot be "very unique," or "more unique," or "almost unique." Either something is unique or it's not. This is not rocket science, folks.

I think that in someway we can be biased that we consider ourselves completely different from animals, some forget that it took millions of years to evolve into the current species of Humanity, they use the excuse of the technology, artitecture, scientific acheivements and what we have done progressively to diffentiate us from animals like Wolves, Rabbits and Chimps, while I agree that its impressive, we mostly forget that not everything is perfect or like a utopia that people like to claim, we can act irritationally, the smartest we have to offer are only a minority, even the most average intelligent people can make irritational mistakes, we are still constrained to our primitive instincts; Reproducing regardless of how horrible the living standards people are in and self preservation regardless if a situation is actually dangerous or not. If we remained neutral and not 100% certain about something in a biased manner, than most people would at least treat non-humans with dignity (I know that there are people who care about animals, myself included, its probably because some have a caring personality, even for completely different species, not to the point of doing... unsual things that we would consider immoral or disgusting, that doesn't represent the majority, if anything, they're just following the law because they don't want to get introuble or they may actually care about animals, but regardless, there are people who still mistreat animals as if we're somehow not animals to a different capacity.)
