Funny you should ask:

The journal New Scientist has recently run an article called Born Believers: How your brain creates God (especially in hard financial times)1… Towards the latter end of the article is a disclaimer that ‘All the researchers involved stress that none of this says anything about the existence or otherwise of gods.’ However, the tenor of the article, including the title, militates strongly that the author’s preferred reality is that, yes folks, “your brain creates God.”
The article initially suggests that “God” is created in our brains as a result of “an evolutionary adaptation that makes people more likely to survive”. However it then points out that this theory is not accepted by many in the evolutionary community. Blithely over-riding this hiccup, it then launches into an alternate, conflicting theory that “religion emerges as a natural by-product of the way the human mind works”...

Also, what about our digestive system. The Doc in the last article I read doesn't seem to think that we should eat meat because our track can't handle it. And our body can develop disease from it. I don't believe all that. I had gizzards tonight, just in case one might ask about my diet. I am a firm believer that there is room for all God's creatures, right next to my mashed taters.
I wouldn't say he is entirely all wet. He may have provided some useful information.
Did we always have canines? Yes, we did. They slept near the mouth of the cave.
LOL
IMHO, I would say that our intestines, stomach acid, saliva, and heart would evolve to accept meat after years of eating it. Maybe smaller portions is the key. But still, if there was evolution, I think our heart would eventually develop a mechanism to accept more red meat. Just my opinion.
Funny you should ask:
Our bodies, and our hearts, are probably as "evolved" as they need to be for the digestion of meat.
The scenario is this; "With two yoke of oxen, and one spotted hog, a tall Shanghai rooster and an old yeller dog". -- Why the animals?
Because where Sweet Betsy was going, they needed animals and animal products just to survive.
We are more fortunate now. We may, if we choose, eschew the eating of meat altogether. Our dietary variation in most cultures is sufficient to let us remain healthy anyway if we are careful and wise.
Evolution is not the magic wand some may perceive or fear. The heart would be unlikely to change much for dietary reasons. As far as evolution is concerned, you are pretty much on your own after you have produced children. Since heart problems typically surface long after child-bearing occurs, they are not affected directly by evolutionary pressures.
Scientism, It has an altar, which is science itself. And it has its shamans.
I may not reply right away. I am hiribist hunting on youtube.
This is a good way to spend time:

We can use all the help we can get too.
That’s some cult gripping you by the throat there, sunshine.
Does science have a golden idol I can worship?

Yes, several in fact...taxpayer money to study reproduction of trout...
And algore got himself a nobel prize for his particular cult.
Ah.. so the truth comes out, and I was right again...
Thank you, Jim Robinson!
