another one? i never met a group of people that likes to talk about homosexuality like you guys do. i bet the subject is brought up for heated discussion in more then 50% of the threads here.

(1) there is no such thing as deciding to have an upgrade. random mutations occur, they can make us better suited for our environments (those tend to flourish) or poorer suited for our environments (those do not tend to flourish).
(2) random mutations occur through all sorts of different means, all natural.
one need not invoke a sky daddy to explain any of this, although you may if it makes you feel better. but the beauty is that there is absolutely no need to get intellectually lazy and say "sky daddy did it" when you run into something.
anyone who believes in creationism, i am sorry to say, is 100% brainwashed and weak of mind.

What if they believe we're all genetic experiments left behind by ancient space-faring civilizations? I know a guy that does. I personally believe it's the radiation, we're all irradiated freaks of nature.

i've never actually considered if you could invoke space aliens without messing up the theory of evolution.
the beauty is that i don't have to, evolution can explain everything with no need to invoke anything other than natural processes.

Sure, but isn't it fun to think about? Life feeds on life feeds on life, constantly evolving, changing, adapting...which means that there must be a perfect form, right? The apex of evolutionary science, so to speak...what if aliens came along and altered the genetic code of the most primitive microorganisms just to see if they could find the apex of evolution. I mean, it obviously failed when humans came about because we're the most destructive fuckers since the locust, but what if the whole thing was just a science experiment?

there is no such thing as a perfect life form since there is no such thing as a static environment.
hence why perfection is fleeting.

I don't know, man...cockroaches are pretty close to being perfect. Surviving in pretty much any environment, can even survive without their head until they starve to death, take radiation like it's getting a suntan..I'm just saying. The potential is there, even in a non-static environment like Earth, there are predictable patterns that can be adapted to.
EDIT : Imagine a cockroach that evolved the regenerative abilities of a lizard, and a warmth-regulating circulatory system like a mammal. It may sound impossible, I prefer to think of it as improbable because I've seen some crazy shit, but imagine it.
A cockroach that can re-grow it's head to not starve and can regulate it's own body temperature to survive in cold environments? Insanity would ensue, because they would not be stopped.

Possibly, but with advances in genetic engineering, you know someone's trying to adapt the regenerative properties some species possess for humans, I read a paper where they said they found the gene responsible for the aging/death cycle, and are working on figuring out what else it does in an attempt to make humans live longer if not forever.

you can go on postulating about living forever, i will go on trying my best to enjoy every day that i can get on this mortal coil.

Oh, come on now, I'm merely introducing an interesting spin and thought provoking ideas, I wouldn't WANT to live forever. I'm all about enjoying what you have, and doing what you love in the limited time we get. But these things are enjoyable to think about. So I do. Part of trying my best to enjoy every day I can, no different than you.
