[Macaveli]

bible is not a history book, derp.

[harriiet x]

I never said it was. Do you think science books are totally devoid of historical fact?

Or are you going to avoid that question, too?

I also don't care how it happened, or see why anyone would care deeply about how it happened, apart from pure scientific investigation.

You cannot go back in time and find out, and even if you can know for certain how (physically) we came to exist -- okay, that's interesting, but so what? I'm not sure what practical application it would have, it doesn't prove much from an existential standpoint, and there's no reason it should have any particular impact on the way you live your life.

god created the universe, humans evolved.

im still picking choice one though

What historical fact do you want addressed by science? Is it a historical fact that men grew to be 900+ years of age, we all descended from Adam and Eve, God made the Earth in 7 days, and men grew to be over 20 ft tall?...

I'm just limiting the time frame to humanity. I'm no anthropologist, but basic knowledge of diet and the most basic health knowledge has allowed humans to grow much larger than we ever have been. As our diet diversifies and we control our environment more and more we are able to be healthier, which encourages growth and longevity.

Edit: By the way, this applies to all animals. A healthier, better fed animal will always be bigger and stronger than one that is not.

True, but ultimate developed height based on diet is completely different than height potential as dictated by genetics.
