Like fairy tales or TV shows.

You're switching horses in mid stream. Why didn't you say the other day that it is instinctive behavior? But this explanation, too, begs the question. Why were "your ancestors" so skeptical or distrustful of their fellow man? Or were their "instincts" wrong?

I think I did.

Natural selection. Read Darwin's Origin of Species.

Still begs the question. Why did "natural selection" make humans so skeptical and distrustful of our fellow man?

And if you really believed this, why would you have ignored "natural selection's" clear cut message by not reinforcing it in your kids when they were growing up?

Let me know when you've finished reading Darwin.

You read the Darwinian Bible, right? You can't answer the question?

Darwin's explanation is clear. If you don't, or can't, or refuse to, understand it then it is pointless for me to try.

If it's so "clear" why can't you encapsulate into a few sentences?

Clarity begets brevity is a non-sequitur.

I believe as many others do that "brevity is the soul of wit". I can sum up your unwillingness to share the 'pearls of wisdom" of Darwin's 'natural selection" with us in one sentence: Natural Selection has not been kind to you; therefore, you're without a clue.

Do you know the source of that quote?

I'm just trying to make you happy. You are the one who wants me to read it.

So...go back and read it. You're so helpless. Just like you couldn't figure out how to use the search engine in GotQuestions.org with respect to the definition of "sin". As stated previously, "natural selection" short-changed you.
