Cooked food gives a higher caloric yield and also vitamin absorption per portion, compared to raw food.
So that would be about a change in preparation.
Affecting hormones and metabolism is exactly what that implies.
Fat and skinny are not relevant.(Nowaday however i look at that differently. Absolutely anomalous all those fat people. And particularly why they are fat.)
Conscious is always approached as if it's unappraochable. It is in a way...you can't look in your own brain.
We were a concestor. Some difference in a group of these making the change more premanent.(Chromosome 2) But after splitting from the bonobos it really took of.
I can't recall whether that was mentioned, some parasite?
Like I said, food has nothing to do with it. Have you experienced fast thinking with no food and sleep for three days? Why do people fast? Maybe it has something to do with this kind of heightened awareness. But if one doesn't have this awareness while fasting, that person would starve and could pass out. One can strengthen the mind in so many ways.

If there is no God, what made early humans grasp this concept in the first place? So much about atheist propaganda. We can't agree which is the real God, so why have one. But at least accept the fact that there is a higher intelligence out there.
An appelation is not what it is.
We struggle with formulating conscious, awareness.
But at the same time find very simple rules applicable to what first seem very complex structures.
Bio-chemistry applies. Given half the change the stuff reacts.
By the hebrew tanakh and philosophy it is about everything interacting. Not even YHWH is an island/not divided/seperate.
it was about oneness and most probably evolved from people understanding connections.
And in pre-historic times a lot of love must have gone around, for people traveled everywhere. Amazing distances.

The Gobleki Tepe hypothesis states that gathering round a uniting place, made communities, and then agriculture, settlements and hunting followed (easier if they come to eat your field empty).
The old one would state that it happened the other way around.
Though before the gatheringplace stood, people had been around for a good thousand years allready. So i wonder how solid that theory is.

Mother-goddesses have been around a long time. Tribes would connect by adhering to a sumbol. A vinca mother statue, or a lion...etc. That's how we can still trace who knew who.
And from African tribal totems we learn that each tribe had a plant or animal that was declared protected on their turf.
Even if it was a pest.
Also this would ensure diversity and species survival, but above all, makes the tribes thrive by exchange.
Observation holds a big clue to consciousness and being aware/observant ensures survival.
Ah the other one, empathy also has a gene-related birth.
Without sensing, nothing would go.

yes.
And fasting actually gives the DNA the chance to repair itself.
Horizon special. BBC.
Also the absorption improving for vitamins and minerals.
Vit. C another factor. Is actually bad for the brain and especially when people have conditions like Alsheimer and Diab 2).
One big change is that our body does not produce it anymore.
It might actually have improved our neural connections, leaving more ADH intact to benefit us.

Anybody that once picked a cat has a specal connection and story to tell. Funny that.

ah so you know a lot of stuff and you somehow came up with a conclusion.

[QUOTE who="MAAT"]
Without sensing, nothing would go.
In order for this conclusion to be valid, there would be some kind of presence or intervention that took place or the concept of God would not exist.

A post filled with fallacies that charles applauded.
Poster has not brought one correct point forwards, so therefore the logic in the arguement is lost, and the conclusions is wrong.
Charles:
is was correct implying true because GOD, and inserts various in between.
woodtick57 wrote:
<quoted text>No, no he hasn't. you are delusional.
seriously if you brought these thoughts to any credible psychologist, he would think you are mentally ill.
Charles:
Poor you. And yet there are numerous credible psychologist that are christians. You must really be a sick fellow.
MAAT:
Such judgement.
And such outspoke ideas.
That's a very thin line your threading there.
(Since Charles implies that psychology implies bias, in this case to agreeing with him, if the pshychologist would be a christian, because Woodtick disagrees with his estimation.)
Woodtick57:
yes there are, but if yo tell them you think you are being directly protected by some god, they will diagnose you as mentally ill. you really should seek counseling. you seem mentally unstable.
in between:
woodtick57 wrote (universe form):
<quoted text>i have, many times. no human knows. any that say otherwise is lying.
Charles:
Is this not foolish, and we all know that the universe came into form, this is just ignorance on the part of atheist, because we definitely have scientist that believes in the existence of God.
---
Well they would be scientist and distinguish between believe and knowledge, or the science is bad. But again Charles implies bias on their part.
Well and all of this becomes an unholy muddle.
Charles:
Atheist psychologists.....you arre lying nevermind what you say.
A christian psychologist knows the difference between insanity and sanity unlike the atheist psychologist.

The science isn't.
And bias has no place in science.
So whatever believe is irrelevant for the science.
And yet there are scientist who are atheist and christians.

I could maybe beleive some advanced aliens millions or billions of years ago came and seeded life here. And set about evolution. So that is only case for creation that makes any sense. But some all powerfull god figure creating things is just flat out INSANE......
That's exactly what Fred Hoyle said.
He is survived by his sidekick Chandra Wickramasinghe.

The Creationists at the Dover hearings made a serious mistake:
They assumed that since Wickramasinghe opposed Evolution, he favored Creationism.
But when the lawyer asked him about his stand on Creationism, he embarrassed the Creationists by denouncing it as "claptrap."

Oh, incidentially, do you know that there is a name for this hypothesis?
It's called "panspermia."

<quoted text>One cannot prove a negative. it is logically impossible until everything aobut the universe is known.
what you are fogetting is that there is not one shred of evic=dence that any god, gods or goddesses exists. it is not amatter of belief or disbelief, it is that is is not even a question yet.
when you get that first shred of evidence, then it will be open for discussion.
Hogwash!
God exist, that reason are seen why scientist are christians.
