I've seen a documentary on those Russian street dogs not long ago. The article isn't even exaggerating. I was stupefied by it. Those dogs actually use the subway system, and not random; they know which train to get on, some of them traveling about 15 miles every day. It's really great to see.

This is not evolution - it's simply a creation update being installed.

And I don't think that creationists deny that specific species evolve within their own species. There is ample evidence on that. The Koala bear comes to mind.

It is the branching to other species - common root species splits into primates and humans and the common root then dies off, that creationists object to. And there is limited evidence to support extra species evolution

We are regressing!!! The majority of humanity are regressing

Barbarism is everywhere, ppl lacking compassion and empathy. Empathy? What empathy? We worship our ego which is the size of the whole universe. Proud for all the wrong reasons! Wicked with all the wrong intentions.

You are my neighbor and YOU ARE worth NOTHING. I AM worth EVERYTHING. I take from you whatever I want or even everything because YOU ARE worth nothing and I AM worth EVERYTHING.

You see my digital bank print out indicates I have more numbers than you!!! This proves I am VASTLY SUPERIOR than you. Of course I AM because I AM EVERYTHING. And because I AM worth EVERYTHING, I take and receive from YOU who are NOTHING .




All that it takes is to have more people with this kind of attitude to assume control and take power and we'll have wars around the world or see increase of wars around the world. Since we are in general regressing, more wars should and will be happening. The only prerequisite is that they keep on feeding their ego, unchecked, long enough to start war with other nation or other similarly regressed leader. Wars to be started for all the wrong reasons.

I'd wager money to say more wars coming in the future than in the past. The age of instability and wars.

Gambling good money on the odds of increased future warfare.

Well, then we are regressing.

You said it, Can you imagine how hard it is to get people to donate blood, you mention donating blood and half of them will reply with something like: why, it's not that I'll benefit from it. Or when I mention I'm a volunteer medic with the Red Cross, they look at me like I'm a total retard because I'm ready to help someone without getting paid for it.

Oh, I doubt the dogs are evidence for evolution. They simply learn by following an elder, who has already learned how to ride the rails. Take a pup and raise it in the country, then bring it back to the subway, he wouldnt know what to do.
I'm an evolutionist though, I'm just not convinced that we see evolution here

If someone has more numbers that me(SIX figures for example)he surly does something better than me.
