TP what you want to teach the kids in Kansas if I understand you correctly is that up until 4000 years ago ( a negligible number in the scale of evolution ) there was no meaningful sign of human intelligence. Evolution was slow, painstaking, one DNA change at a time. Then, Out of the blue only 2300 years ago POP!!! Greek giants of intelligence appeared who made the discoveries currently being taught in US Universities: With Brains more complicated than any supercomputer of today: Homer and the Odyssey and Iliad darkwing.uoregon.edu BOOK VIII:: NOW when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared, library.advanced.org Archimedes of Syracuse terraworld.net Euclid sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu aleph0.clarku.edu Pythagoras of Samos geocities.com All these bright folks arose instantly out of a Monkey. TP I can assure you I am still looking for manuscripts from your cosmic Monkey. Let's see where could he be, maybe under my bed, "come on boys and girls from Kansas, don't get fidgety now,monkey is right here. Keep looking, TA Message #936 from TigerPaw at Sep 22 1999 9:18AM In only the last 2000 years human intelligence has increased by an almost logarithmic power Don't confuse intelligence (The capicity to learn) with the amount of information discovered. The greeks of 500BCE were easily as intelligent as any recent person. animals are rapidly approaching us in IQ I've learned that you are not a stupid person, but you play one on this thread. This is another strawman argument so I presume you have to response to the real arguments made. TP

TP: "From The Monkey to The Odyssey: any idea how long"? This is a significant point. Any idea where & when the transition occurred? (Kid form Kansas wants to know,) library.advanced.org Book I "Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy. "Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove - the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun and the Sungod blotted out the day of their return. "Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus, start from where you will - sing for our time too." --------------- Thus begins the great, epic poem the "Odyssey" by Homer. Question #2 TP Is this the " Blind Watchmaker " at Work? world-of-dawkins.com LOL Quiet children, don't laugh. We are teaching evolution here ------------ TA . . . . ---------------- Message #936 from TigerPaw at Sep 22 1999 9:18AM In only the last 2000 years human intelligence has increased by an almost logarithmic power Don't confuse intelligence (The capicity to learn) with the amount of information discovered.
