something interesting

[jbran555]

the very first thing that adam and eve do when they eat the fruit is they realize that they are naked. And now today we are the only species that wears clothes.

 

[Grengor]

We're also the only species with a brain capable of sentient thought. (maybe)

Anything else?

EDIT: Oh and have you ever heard of wild children? I don't believe they were very big on the latest fashion fads.

Have all humans in all cultures always worn clothes?

Somebody better tell those Kalihari bushmen, or the Dodos people of Uganda, and them Amazonian natives to put on some damned clothes!

And of course it could not be that the story of clothes in Genesis is a byproduct of a culture that valued clothing and modesty.

It sure is incredible how a glass is designed to perfectly hold the water thats inside of it.

You are joking, right?

What about monkeys? Sometimes they were tuxedoes. Then people sync up their voices with the lip movements. Now THAT's entertainment.

Also poodles. But there's nothing funny about that. That's just sad.

Mark Twain observed that, "Man is the only species to blush, and the only one that needs to."

So what does that "prove?" I am getting so tired of creationist stupidity. Adam n' Eve wur nekid OH MY!

Missionaries spread TB, smallpox and flu, and they killed more people than they ever even met. The ones they didn't kill right away they destroyed culturally so they were no different than anyother European peasant.

I am not merely tired of creationists, I am disgusted.

Why do humans wear clothing?

Is there any reason to(besides protecting ourselves from the sun)?

If all humans decide to stop wear clothing, we can express our common image with one another. We can look at eachother and observe that we are all, in fact, the same.

Other apes have something called 'fur'.

Hermit crab.

Caddis Flies > Hermit Crab.

Caddis Fly larvae actually build their portable homes (clothes) from leaves and a cement of their own making.

 

[Goatboy]

In fairness to creationists, humans are the only ones dressing up out of shame and sexual hang ups.

The Caddis Flies only do it because they think they look cool.

 

[Jet Black]

and people are only ashamed because their parents teach them to be, particularly in the US and UK. In mainland Europe, naked saunas, beaches and so on are very common. the people in there aren't ashamed at all.

We were also the only species - Hermit Crabs and Caddies Flies notwithstanding - that wore clothes when that story was written. It is probably amongst the reasons why that story was written.

We had a dog that refused to eat when you watched him. Is this not the same principle?

Nah, I don’t blame the parents, I blame society.

But if you look at the two big local high streets near me on any given Friday night (Sutton and Croydon, for those who know Sahf London) you’ll see a fairly high number of young English people are trying their hardest to leave clothing behind.


Given that we apparently just need sufficient alcohol in the bloodstream to tolerate the climate and given the number of drunken conceptions this leads to, we could see positive selection for getting naked in freezing temperatures take effect very soon.
(hmm, anyone know if any specific genetic analysis of Scousers has been carried out? They’ve probably been capable of metabolising their own blood alcohol/anti-freeze for generations and just not told the rest of us)

…And we shall build Jerusalem in England’s wet and windy land,

Would you like it people came over and stared at you while you munched mechanically reclaimed horseflesh?

I suspect he was just protesting at your family's appalling manners.

God supposedly doesn't like the acts of homosexuality, yet homosexuals exist. See, I can throw up random facts regarding christianity as well but it still doesn't support/disprove Evolutionary theory. When you're ready to do that, come back. Until then, don't let your tailbone get stuck in the door on the way out.

Missed a couple of health-ed classes, did we?

Monkey with clothes on

And a person who never wears them
