[the invisib1e hand]

the other day I noticed a picture, on the subway, of what appeared to be a primate. Its eyes, whether real or photoshopped, looked unmistakeably...intelligent, aware, human.

That got me thinking. Suppose, instead of being predecessors, they are successors -- that is, they are what humans become, over a long enough course of generations, if unredeemed, if left to their own predilection to turn away from their Creator.

Hey, it was just a thought.

And thus was born... THE PLANET OF THE APES!

Planet of the Apes and The Time Machine come to mind.

Now thats a scary concept. And like you I wonder at times if Mans archetypal memories/symbols are rather precursors of what may lie in mans future, should he in total turn away from his creator.

"Suppose, instead of being predecessors, they are successors -- that is, they are what humans become, over a long enough course of generations, if unredeemed, if left to their own predilection to turn away from their Creator."

Sounds more likely than the nonsense that the evos want to believe. The true seed of Cain?

I heard (but do not have the expertise to verify) that current thinking in evolutionary circles was that chimps and man had a common ancestor, but we’ve both evolved since the fork.
