anyway back to the ORIGINAL question, athiests ultimate goal is not to commit suicide. i would think christians would want to to that, i mean according to them, when u die u go to god and live in eternal happiness, so why not just kill urself right now and be with god and have 77virgins and unlimited mcdonalds and neva get fat?
errr…no.
there is a line in the bible prohibiting that - saying you won’t go to heaven if you commit suicide
ever heard of cromagnum man?
ever heard of bestiality&sodomy?
maybe the reason why adam and eve were thrown out of paradise was not snacking an apple but shaging an ape
hmmmm, and you must be thinking of biology class. My history classes dealt more with RECORDED human history. And it’s cromagnon man. Who isn’t any different from modern man (as in, not a missing link).
The Cromagnon race may thus be, as many anthropologists believe it, early neolithic, a type of man who spread over and inhabited a large portion of Europe at the close of the Pleistocene period. Some have sought to find in it the substratum of the present populations of western Europe. Quatrefages identifies Cromagnon man with the tall, long-headed, fair Kabyles (Berbers) who still survive in various parts of Mauritania. He suggests the introduction of the Cromagnon from Siberia, arriving in Europe simultaneously with the great mammals (which were driven by the cold from Siberia), and no doubt following their route.
The term ‘Cro-Magnon’ has no formal taxonomic status, since it refers neither to a species or subspecies nor to an archaeological phase or culture. The name is not commonly encountered in modern professional literature in English, since authors prefer to talk more generally of anatomically modern humans. They thus avoid a certain ambiguity in the label ‘Cro-Magnon’, which is sometimes used to refer to all early moderns in Europe (as opposed to the preceding Neanderthals), and sometimes to refer to a specific human group that can be distinguished from other Upper Paleolithic humans in the region. Nevertheless, the term ‘Cro-Magnon’ is still very commonly used in popular texts because it makes an obvious distinction with the Neanderthals, and also refers directly to people rather than to the complicated succession of archaeological phases that make up the Upper Paleolithic. This evident practical value has prevented archaeologists and human paleontologists - especially in continental Europe - from dispensing entirely with the idea of Cro-Magnons.
If Cro-Magnons were modern humans, does that mean that modern humans are Cro-Magnons? Not really. Logically, many modern humans should be, since most modern Europeans are probably descended from them. But the term has no taxonomic significance and usually just refers to Europeans in a certain time range, even though other modern humans were living throughout much of the world at the same time

Yes, modern humans, but more specifically European humans in that area at that time. Put it this way: All Cromagnons were homosapien/modern human, but not all modern humans are Cromagnon.
