What do you think what comes after life, after you die? I hope some people come up with interesting theories about this, and if you think this question is interesting, don't forget to star it :)

Keeping in mind the state of the planet.
Who would you say is more 'evolved' those dependant on machines or those that can still live primal.
Example the average american in suburbia or a south american tribes man.

or will that lead to planned breeding like the dog breeders enjoy to create such an assortment of "interesting" and diverse breeds. where does it lead, do you think? will all cultures merge and will there be need for more than one language? what is correct?

1.Evolution vs. creationism: does the theory of the “unmoved mover” prove the existence of god? If evolution is false, how do we explain the examples of evolution we see daily? These include viruses and bacteria that “evolve” to adapt to new drugs and antibiotics every day.
2.Stages of human development, from **** habilis to **** sapiens and **** floresiensis: these fossils exist, how can we refute their existence; they are there for us to see?
3.DNA and physical likeness: we share 99% or 98% (correct me if I am wrong) of our DNA with the Great Apes, how can we explain the likeness of fingers, toes and social hierarchy that resembles us so closely?
4.The timelines of the bible vs. carbon dating and Vickers micro-hardness: how do we refute the timelines of science, likewise, the bible can be interpreted a lot of ways. Please explain.
5.Dinosaurs and man together?? modern fossils of man are not found near dinosaurs or other ancient creatures; please explain the 6 days of creation

Recently some at University of Chicago voted to deny Dr. Bruce T. Lahn (a world class genetics researcher) tenure because he had discovered several recent mutations in genes associated with brain development & evolution. This was mainly due to the fact that these genes were rare in Africa & "might" be used by some to "suggest" that Africans were not as evolved as many that migrated out of Africa.
Isn't it time we grew up & took scientific knowledge for just that? Lahn was granted tenure, but stopped all research on the genes associated with the human brain & evolution.

"One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind."- Neil Armstrong (July 20, 1969) Crop circles. Abductions and unscaved returns. "In our image and after our own likeness."- the bible. Eziekel's (Old Testiment) encounter with GOD and his description of what he saw. Just food for thought. Honestly, I don't expect any logical answers. Just curious in what other people may think. I might be a lone thinker.

Some accounts in the Bible tell us that the fallen angels mated with human daughters, which produced giant men with super-human strength.
Since I have very little knowledge of archeology I have not been able to gather any evidence for this.

Any scientific minded guys out there? Please help.

Also, Folks with oversized imagination are not invited. Please try to quote references in support of your answers.

Because we have found evidence indicating at least one introgressed gene appeared in the M.E. 37,000 yrs ago & spread to 70% of the population (remaining very rare in Sub Saharan Africa) is it reasonable to develop the hypothesis that Europeans got their hair, skin & eye color from Neanderthal due to their closer association with that group. For some reason only Europeans developed these traits.
Other groups that occupy a simular environment to Europeans did not develop light hair or eyes & Europeans did have the most prolonged contact with the Neanderthal.
Before some of you give me the obsolete stuff about no evidence of Neanderthal & Homo Sapien having interbred, read the following links. Bruce Lahn's team from U of Chicago found a 1.1 million yr old gene that suddenly appeared in a species that was only 200K yrs old... this gene "introgressed" into the human genome 37,000 yrs ago.

According to numerous the Herodotus the Kushites were the forefathers of the ancient Egyptians living south of the border and that Egypt was a Kushite colony. "[The Ethiopians] say that the Egyptians are settlers from among themselves and that Osiris was the leader of the settlement. The customs of the Egyptians, they say, are for the most part Ethiopian, the settlers having preserved their old traditions. For to consider the kings gods, to pay great attention to funeral rites, and many other things, are Ethiopian practices, and also the style of their statues and the form of their writing are Ethiopian. Also the way the priestly colleges are organized is said to be the same in both nations. For all who have to do with the cult of the gods, they maintain, are [ritually] pure: the priests are shaved in the same way, they have the same robes and the type of scepter shaped like a plough. Upper Egypt in ancient times extended well into what is now the country of Sudan (known in ancient times as Nubia or Kush). It was from Upper Egypt (Nubia or Kush) that the first pharaoh of Egypt Narmer (also known as Menes) went out to conquer and unify all of Egypt into one nation or kingdom. It was from here (the South) that the original ancestors of the Egyptians, following the direction of the Nile River north, settled the land of Egypt. The Egyptians themselves recorded in their writings that their ancestors came from the south. For example, the Edfu text (which is an inscription still found in the Temple of Horus at Edfu) states: "Several thousand years ago, we were led by our king from the South to settle up the Nile Valleys."

Is "White" America's and Australia's national race?
Why are asians and blacks always perceived as immigrants, no matter how old they've been citizens?
It's just a personal obesrvation. I don't know if I'm making myself clear. My point is, when you look at a white American man, you don't question his ancestry . But when you look at a an asian, you feel he's a recent immigrant, and not an authentic citizen.
I saw many brochures advertising for the United States, and most of them showed white cowboy men and blonde girls.
Why are only european immigrants perceived as the authentic citizens, while non-whites are viewed as foreigners. For instance, when you think Australians, you think white anglo-saxon men, although Australia is, too, a country of immigrants.
Why is "white" the national race?
