Is it believable that the Ts and Vs could develop so similarly despite both starting at single celled organisms?

And Char, if you dont have anything constructive to say, please kindly step out. :blah:

I was being constructive. Don't push me aside like BW did.

Listen. You say it is about the evolution of Vasudans correct?
So my CONSTRUCTIVE point was:

Terrans > apes (or whatever technical term)
Vasudans > ? (is it for sure fish? If so what kind? As humans are not monkeys but apes, vasudans are not fush, but what?)

Re: Terrans and Vasudans: Too similar?
Vasudans look a lot like apes too, if you think about it. When my mom first saw a picture of a Vasudan as I was playing the game, she thought it was a deformed monkey of some sort. :D

Ah, fush, en evolved form of fish, that developed lungs in conjunction with their gills. ;7

Re: Terrans and Vasudans: Too similar?
Oh man. One thing in life i hate is those close minded religious types. Humans may have just appeared as humans from being created by god with the adam and eve story, or we may have have evolved from single celled organisms. One thing is certain though, evolution does exist, and does happen. It's part of life adapting and changing wherever it lives getting rid of what it doesn't need, and adding in maturing features for what it does need.

Human life on planet earth has had some obvious evolutionary changes as well. Humans on average are getting a lot taller and lankier, back in medieval times and before that humans were a lot shorter like 5ft or something, but they were also a lot more muscular all waving around heavy ass swords, and shields and stuff. Back then before bow and arrows humans could throw a spear a football stadiums length, probably more. Another thing about human evolution is that everyone these days just has wisdom teeth that don't come in correctly at all. Hell, some people don't even come with wisdoms anymore, or they just have some of them (i only had 3 wisdoms...the 4th just wasn't there). With teeth not coming in correctly you could say eating habits have changed or something.

Besides evolution about ourselves around here. Evolution has been proven on the galapogos islands. Scientists went there and noticed that the birds would have smaller beaks when the seeds they eat weren't hard to break into. And then when the next generation of birds comes along and the seeds need to be cracked open the same species of bird by then will have bigger beaks to do so, of course the smaller beaked birds pretty die out about this time because they don't have the big beak to break **** open with.

Anyway my point being, for all of those religious zealots, despite the creationism theory or the evolution from single celled organisms theory, evolution does exist and happens. Even if we humans were just plain old created like adam and eve, evolution is here yes and necessary. Even if we humans came from single celled organisms millions of years ago, well of course evolution is here especially. Doesn't matter which theory you use to try to figure out how we got here, it can't be proven by today's methods. But, we can explain why were are the way we are today, and why we were the way we were in any other point in the past as long as you're talking strictly about homo sapiens and not neanderthals.

In the meantime for us humans researching where we came from, it's cool as **** to study what species are related to us, i mean chimpanzees, orangutangs, and gorillas are the ****!

Anyway all of this is blurted out the mouth of a missionary anyway. I went to ukraine, turkey, and hungary for god (i'm not mormon or catholic..just your average christian). I like to keep an open mind because one philosopher said "the bible tells us how to get to heaven, not how the heavens work" (from the dark ages when people were arguing whether the earth orbitted the sun or the sun orbitted the earth from back in the days of early telescopes). Of course one further thing i hate is when people are too sheltered by their religion to not actually see in detail anything that's going on around them (bullheaded ****s).

In reality it doesn't matter if creation happened or if we evolved from other animals, we don't know, and it ultimately doesn't matter. So why do other religious people need to get defensive (i have no clue, people don't think sometimes)? This stuff is fascinating, and the more you look into both theories the more you learn.

In my head i haven't the slightest idea what vasudans may have evolved from. But, one thing is for certain they are not insectoid, and they don't really seem reptilian either.

S-99 was that post even necessary? I don't think anyone here on the forum denies evolution....does someone?  :wtf:

EDIT: In my previous post I used the term high intelligence for human..which is wrong... since many animals are highly intelligent ..let's just call it "a special something"..

I can think of a few off the top of my head, sadly.

 
Re: Terrans and Vasudans: Too similar?
How about spiders? All those eyes and the eight legs? Better yet, scorpions. Arachnids. Aren't those kind of similar to shivans? Also, would some form of psychic power be out of the question, such as telekinesis?

Any of you have steam and HL2/CSS? Check out the eternal silence mod because I think that it's possible to take some elements from both games to improve each overall.

You all have it wrong...

Apes evolved from humans... this thread is proof of that.

Gravity is a ****ing theory, and this is irrelevant to the discussion, because if any higher power had anything to do with the creation of Humans and Vasudans, than they could look identical, now couldn't they.

Apes are cool as ****. Gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutangs. Those are some kickass animals. Normal monkeys like spider monkeys suck.

Re: Terrans and Vasudans: Too similar?
i should have known that this would SOMEHOW degrade into a evolution vs. creationism.

karajorma, i expected more out of you.  go take it somewhere else, and leave this guy's thread alone. 

Good job stoking up an argument that had already ended. Do you pour vinegar on wounds as an encore? :rolleyes:

The whole point of this thread is that it was taking evolution as a basic premise. Had someone started a thread on creation stories and their relationships to Vasudans you can bet money that I would not have brought evolution into it. Simple fact is that I consider God to be as much a work of fiction as the Vasudans are so I would have been quite happy to actually discuss the matter as if the existence of God was a basic premise of the storyline.

Pity that certain religious people can't do the same even though they consider evolution to be a similar work of fiction.

Creationisim and the god theory. sure.. show god in the sky and the garden of eden, then give me a scientific blood of bone sample that this man that claims to be gods son and then i will be more open to thinking 2 ways instead of one. as far as i know the only sane theory is from the boffins in the research labs.

I know full well we came from a massive f*ck off asteroid that hit this world which consequently killed off the bigger dinosaurs that do not whistle for words, and ultimatly humans were a boneless worm then a small animal then a fish then a land animal until we evolved into who we are. again show me proof that apes mysteriously landed on this planet, you try telling this to ordinary chinese people. chinese have lived alot more longer then the ancient mesopatamiens, that aside. the Vasudans.

it looks like Vasudans are created from a lizard of some sorts, because this race has scales on their ship armours and their skin.
