What does that have to do with intelligence though?

Poignant question for those arguing pro human carnivor! I wonder if they ever consider a large proportion of 'scientific findings' depend on whos paying and how much!
Sheer number of conflicting 'findings' should make that obvious.
hence the likes of 'pro-meat- ads a la Sam Neil.
I personally dont beleive diet is all that much to do with intelligence, look at most of today youth under 20. What does mc Chemi-food do for intelligence?

well i dont care who has a degree in what areas or subjects, I am a 13 years old and i believe that a poll is used to express opinions and possibly explain why you believe it and then discuss it in a civil matter.
Not to say that i am smarter because i have this degree and therefore i am right...
I must say, most people here have been discriminative here in one way or another, whether it be someone who thinks they r the better person due to degrees, or someone who thinks that people, including "religious freaks", although i believe religious people were have surficed, and "scientists" are trying to shove viewpoints down there throats.
I shared my view on the topic, with my belief that the "THEORY" of evolution is not true, but in no way am i forcing my opinion on anyone in any form or matter.
i mean what is this from someone who had previously said in a previous post that they had a degree in paleontology and paleonpathology, or whatever it was.
I think everyone needs to get over themselves and use the poll in a civillised manner.

Don't get drawn in to stupid arguments. If your views differ from other peoples, thats fine, when it comes down to it, thats possibly the best way things can be. If everyone thought the same the human race would be extinct in no-time. All you can do is state your view (if you feel the need) and not worry too much about what other people have to say. If you don't want to believe what others (including myself, lol) are throwing at you, then dont, but don't stress over difference of opinion, especially in philosphical topics like this.

Were not shoving evolution down anyone's throat we are discussing it. If you don't believe in it then don't participate in this thread, or start your own about why evolution is 'just a theory'.
And by the way, you don't understand what a theory is in the scientific sense.

Im not stressed about it, im just giving my point of view,im saying that most people here are not excpeting that others have different beliefs and seem to be quite discriminative about stupid things.

Mr black, read my post again, im saying that someone else said i was shoving my point down his throat and i was rebutting against this as i had just shared my view point...
It's a bit of a dead argument as to whether humans would be more or less intelligent had they evolved as exclusive herbivores. I won't dignify it with further discussion.
If you bother to examine digestive systems and learn how they work, there is no question about what humans have been eating during their last few hundred thousand years of evolution.
Some obscure case where a group of people had a rise in the incidence of cancer is suppsed to change that? Perhaps eating meat does increase the incidence of cancer, or perhaps that particular group of people was eating meat processed using carcinogenic chemicals, or perhaps it had nothing at all to do with the meat (presumably when meat was introduced it happened at a time when a lot of things were changing, and any of those things could have caused the change in cancer rates). This is all quite irrelevant, it does not change the fact that predators are typically smarter than herbivores (yes, you'll find some stupid predators and smart herbivores, but for each of those there will be many, many, many more which do fit the rule) and that predation brings an evolutionary push for higher intelligence.
Eating meat may in some cases bring problems, but we are designed to eat it. What you're saying is as silly as "Every time cars are crashed, they are being driven, thus we can conclude that cars are not designed to be driven around".
Amazing that I describe the large picture in a broad sense, and from a range of aspects, and you come up with one obscure reference and accuse me of attempting to warp the facts and justify my own position! Very cute! :lol:
