Yeah, we really exist. I think. ;P. I feel, I think, I see, I taste, I love...I'm alive. Or a pretty damn good imitation of whatever "alive" might be.
We're so much more different than any other animal it's quite interesting to look around sometimes.
And where we go when we die....I -am- a christian, but face it. Animals we are, "Dust to dust" serves this situation pretty well. We die, we get buried in the ground,..."our spirit goes to heaven1!" No. You're dead, no feeling, no nothing, for eternity. but that's a different debate ;P

wtf??
we do exist
we percieve our world around us as existing
even if we didn't "exist" our imaginary world has made up words such as "exist" and placed certain definations on them.
its like asking... am i alive??
you are alive, unless you want to completely redefine the word "alive" in our imaginary world to descibe a state of being "dead" or perhaps give it a whole new meaning like have a nose larger that your foot.

I feel as if i'm listening in on an open discussion conversation in a college philosophy class. Ugh, I'm about to throw myself out the window.

Ya Loser_Musician on topic and everything. I don't think this is the greatest "discussion" i've seen on the boards, but I don't think you should really be criticizing it

Ya I kind of see your point, but there would be so many stages of that animal since it keeps evolving. That is unless everytime it changes it's a new animal.

Yes, they are. It's not just like *Amphibian* BAM *Dinosaur* BAM *Ostrich* Things don't work that way.

I dont believe in that evolution BS
Its all mutation and I dont believe we came from homo erectus or w/e. There were probably different types of the homo-types.

Evolution is mutation. There ARE different "homo types" Such as Homo Georgicus. There's H. Cepranensis, H. Rhodesiensis. Excetera...
But it's not JUST the Homo genus and then the species, there's sub-species. We're technically Homo Sapiens Sapiens, the there's your race! The other subspecies is Homo Sapiens Idaltu. They went extict, though

Well could you answer this? When was the last time you saw a monkey turn into a man? Or for that matter, when a monkey was on it's way to becoming one.

Do you realize how short a human lifespan is compared compared to the time evolution takes?
We can't say "Oh, that's evolving into a ___" because we have no idea what it is evolving into. You can't identify the middle piece of an evolutionary chain without the endpoint, which is far off into the future.

Well it's 2006 I'm sure that someone should have seen a half man half ape walking around. That was always what I saw when I didn't really know about evolution, Darwins Theory, where it starts out as an ape and turns into a man.
