Evolution is based on things
changing because on the need to change...for
survival. Can we find a reason for feelings or emotions in evolutionary survival? Animals survive by natural instinct, not emotion. |
|
How would emotions help the first human-like critter survive against the other wild animals? |
|
|
Acting on emotions means the first human-like critter would no longer depend on natural instincts. It had to reason...think intelligently! |
|
|
Love would be distracting and the first human-like critters would be easily caught and eaten. Now we have to find another human-like critter. |
|
|
Hatred would make our human-like critters lose control and make stupid mistakes...and become easy prey for human-like critter eaters. |
|
|
Guilt would make good human-like critters have to wrestle with killing not-so-fortunate ordinary animals. |
|
|
Stopping to look at beautiful surroundings would make our human-like critters an easy meal for human-like critter eaters. |
|
|
Sympathy would be a terrible thing to our first human-like critter. Our friend would hesitate to kill for food. |
|
|
The only way our first human-like critter could survive this emotional handicap is by using superior intelligence! |
|
|
How did this superior intelligence evolve? |
|
|
It didn't! God include it when He made man! |
