Thread: Gorillas vs. Humans

Well, Gorrilas certainly 'lift'. Imagine you weigh 800lbs, how easy would a one armed pull up be? 99% of people who weigh sub 200 can't pull that off. Or try tripling the capacity of your cable row machine. Also remember they more or less run with their arms. Gorillas are constantly 'lifting' their entire lives.
Similarly horses weigh upwards or 1100lbs, try sprinting with that on your back .

As far as the diet for the 2 animals, I would just have to assume its the genetic differences, and lack of 'leisure time'. But that's just guess work.

a) gorrillas have much longer muscle attachments than humans. that is why they have an amazing level of strength. they have better levers.

b) animals that are vegiterians poses the proper enzyme to digest fiber for energy. Humans do not, hence the reason we don't count it in our caloric intake.

physically better? we walk upright, are able to manipulate intricate things with our hands that they are incapable of, and have sex in more than one position. physically better, i think not.

i dont think you understood my point. humans have sex in multiple positions, this is why we are at the top of the evolutionary chain

of course, humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure

and they cant survive out of water for too long, so we must be the best

Many species of monkey engage in sex for pleasure. They even go as far as handjobs and such.

Though that has nothing to do with our position in the food chain. It was the advent of tools: weapons, farming systems, medicines, soap, etc. (ie, our minds) that put us on top.

You gotta admit the authors of the bible were creative. Jesus walking on water and stuff.

They should get an award for best fiction.

Even if you do believe in a religion, you have to admit that most religions are made up...

If you believe in Christ then it makes Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, Budists, Roman Sun Worshippers, Norse God Followers, Occultists, etc all wrong.

No matter if you are deeply religious or think they are all fake... you have to admit that at least almost all religions are made up.

It's just that for some reason, you believe yours is different than all the rest.

Think of a old civilization with no idea of religion. The idea of "God" is presented. Woah, this makes so much sense, how else could this life be explained, it must be true. Well to an extent; I'm just putting an idea out there.

Again, nothing more than a tool. An evolutional advantage. It, religion that is, allows few to control many. Without it, no control, no advantage.

It's no different than a fence for cattle. It allows few small beings to control many large ones.

sure, your arguement is true. one is true, and one does separate itself as different from the rest. and with so many man-made made up religions it doesnt make them all false or necessaraly bad.

I didn't. I compared religion to a fence. I don't know you, so I didn't compare you to anything.
