Reflection #4
To be Honest I have heard a lot bout the Big Bang theory, but I really never had any interest to actually research the theories and the evidential facts behind it. During my readings I learned about the different species of which many humans believe they derived from. It all seems very convincing that humans evolved from an animal such as an ape. The theories thereof to this belief sounds convincing to me as well. Considering the fact that an animal such as an ape has so much in common to the nature of Homo Sapiens or humans, their physical abstracts, their ways of life and survival, who wouldn't believe in the big bang theory. According to the articles, scientists analyze the shapes and structure of the Homo species skulls in comparison to a Homo Sapiens skull and find hat they are similar. In fact one good example of similarity beteen two Homo Species are the Homo Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens. Scientists found the two species to be so similar that in 1964 they declared that they are not even seperate species but sub species, Homo Sapien Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Homo Sapiens Neanderthals were the first group of homo species to resemble the actual human fossil form. They are also the first species to demonstrate the act of a burial for the deceased. The articles state that Homo Erectus were one of the more advanced homo species in hunting for food, and making stone tools such things in which we as Homo Sapiens are well advanced in also. So there are many other relative aspects of human nature in comparison to homo species, but it's not that convincing for me to believe that we evolved from animals. I have a strong and firm substance in Jesus, the creator of all things. In the article, it states that this theory of human evolving from apes does not contardict religions or religious beliefs, but it does. By reading this article, one may simply imply or come up with the conclusion that we as humans were created in the image of an ape, and that contradicts what i believe. However, i found it very interesting that most of the homo species derived from the continent of Africa.
