I'd start with the SAA cabin crew, but I suspect they may offload me.
Yes, I don't suppose, that high, a prehensile tail will help you, dong.

No, but I find it helps smooth out the turbulence, when swinging from the overheads.
I think you were looking for "taxonomy" for naming species.
I don't believe in "The Great Creator" and I guess "Big Bang" is as good a hypothesis as any. But you illustrate a point I have made repeatedly - creation and evolution are only mutually exclusive to the fundamentalists on either side, and neither one will admit that the other side has some merit.
That being said, I'll take 40sFun's advice, and put my disclaimer here.
I don't believe in god, so the explanation that he created everything doesn't sit well with me; I don't necessarily believe in big bang, either, that everything in the universe originated as a single point of matter of infinite mass which exploded. It still does not explain, for me, where that original point of matter came from. Nor does it explain where the empty space into which the big bang expanded came from.
For those whom I have offended with this post: don't ask me to explain my alternate theories; I don't have any. However, the fact that I cannot explain it does not force me to adhere to any "next-best guess."
I believe it's a racist theory, to make white people look superior to black.Thus a justification for the colonialism. After all we evolved from monkeys, black people look like monkeys, so we came from africa, and white people evolved from them.....
No more calls, please. We have a winner.
Lucky for us, the Fundamentalists are on guard and protecting us with their forward-looking, objective views making the world safe for all mankind.Scientists always pretend to be objective, however....quite often they work towards something, try to rationalise whatever primitive, subjective views they have.....

Only problem being, that at most it is a personal movement, rather than scientific dogma. It'd be difficult to make scientific papers based on that sort of reasoning, although it does remind me of Larmack's ideas of evolution, which could be said to be semi-creationist.
Haha, I think that it has been referred to as "The Dark Ages."Fittest, as in most fit for purpose. It's a no brainer really. I think that you will find that the conspiracy was all with the church trying to suppress knowledge and the search for knowledge.
What is the opposite of the age of enlightenment?
Y'know it's one of those frustrations because you wouldn't be able to prove you were correct until all of us were long gone...or wrong for that matter. It's a faith thing I guess! :biggrin1:I seem to recall that Jean Baptiste Lamarck's concept of species evolving toward an ever more complex state also embraced the notion that the outcome has already been predetermined. I also share that view and yes, your observation is keen, I do tend to follow the Lamarckian path as I trek through my journey of Crevolutionary discovery.
I believe in intelligent design and things adapting over time simultaneously. If that makes any sense.Even if you could observe some forms of microevolution taking place today, there's no way to prove what happened yesterday. We can only make guesses.
