Frank B. Finite
A "True" Atheist
A short little note on the evolution of a small population of humans:
As you know by now, I'm one who doesn't mince words or pull any punches. I tell it like it is. I'm a true believer in evolution - and as such, I wholly accept the full ramifications of this fact.
Sometimes people don't like to hear the truth, even my fellow atheists. But if we can't accept the truth what can we accept?!
This month's article deals with the evolution of people, but more so with the non-evolution of others.
If we look at a very famous chart (Fig. A), we can see the evolution of man ascending from monkey to man. Just about everyone has seen this chart or one similar to it.
Fig. A
It is obvious that the lesser evolved life forms were monkeys, with the higher evolved ones being humans. But do you also notice another glaring fact here?
It's that the lower life forms are also shorter!
Accepting this chart then, it is obvious that the shorter you are the lesser evolved you are (generally speaking - see below).
So if you are what some might call a - midget, dwarf, shrimp, runt, elf, munchkin, leprechaun, pixie, brownie, sprite, gnome, halfling, half-pint, hobbit, etc., - then you are not as highly evolved as taller human animals.
Now if you fall into this category, your brain might be offended at this (and your self esteem may shrink too). Well, it's not worth the time and energy to get upset about it. It's not your fault and there's not much you can do about it.
But there IS something that may help you climb this evolutionary ladder some. It will depend on your I.Q.
Let's look at the chart again:
If you are the size of subject (A) and you are not very intelligent, your evolutionary standing will stay at level (A). But if your brain is smart, then your evolutionary standing might increase to level (B).
What is an "evolutionary standing" you ask? Well, it is a measurement of your worth in this world including the likelihood of surviving and passing on your genes.
But this goes against evolution since nature is always trying to weed out the lesser evolved genes (you). It is going to be a tough battle since nature is hard, if not impossible, to resist.
So, if you are a smart male subject (A), then you may gain wealth and power thus attracting more of the female species (maybe even tall ones?!), enabling you to spread your seed.
Otherwise your only hope is to be in show business, or a bowling ball.
If you are a female subject (A) you had better be drop-dead gorgeous!
Now this climbing of the evolutionary standing CAN work in the opposite direction. If you are a subject (E), and you are as smart as a dirt clod, your evolutionary standing may drop a letter or two.
But more than likely you have an NBA contract where brains really don't matter. Your wealth, athletically ripped body and popularity will keep you at an alpha (E) standing.
Of coarse the "fundy" position is that there is a loving God who created ALL people and that he loves them all equally. This would make everyone's personal worth equal no matter what you look like or how smart you are.
But that's a bunch of hooey!
Truthfully,
