Yesterday my 4-years-old niece asked me if human beings are evolved from ape, why are there still gorillas around? Will they become human someday, somehow? Okay come think of it, do you believe mankind evolved from ape? If not so and if the first human is an infant, can he raise himself in the wild? Or just like the stories of feral children who raised by the animals in the wild.
Many in the past and today still believe that mankind was created by God. In Greek mythology, Prometheus were given the task of creating man. The Sumerian believes their God, Anunnaki is responsible for human creation. In the book of Genesis, God created mankind in his own image. There are also many other deposits claiming that the God created human race.
Today there are people who believes that God didn't really create man, but man created God. Sounds ridiculous right? But hell lets put it this way. The Gods that our ancestors described as, are they the ultimate God who created the universe? Or they are actually extraterrestrial beings that came from the sky a.k.a. aliens. They explore the universe just like we do today. They found earth with the ingredients of life. They started their genetic experiments and viola, here we are. These aliens has super intelligence, high-tech weapons and flying sorcerers that our ancestors had misinterpreted them as the Gods.
Due to the human beings are so special compared to other animals, came the idea of a human creator, either the Gods or aliens. Anyway if you are looking for a creator, nature created human. In fact, we were not created. We evolved. From microorganism to bacteria to fish to amphibian to mammals and now here we are. Asking about whether we could raise ourselves in the wild? Yes we could coz we were once from the wild. So are we going to continue to evolve? Hell yeah coz the purpose of life in the universe is all about evolution.
You might also wonder what will we evolve to. Well over billions of years, from bacteria we became what we are today. We might not live long enough to witness what will we evolve to but life can only get more sophisticated over time. That is the rule of the game.
