281 - We are God!

The hexagonal screen at the top of the podium and the stage lights lit up for a moment, then slowly dimmed again.

Only the dome remained, and a bright searchlight suddenly turned on, shining on the empty podium.

And on the edge, out of reach of the searchlights, everyone seemed to see a man walking down the aisle, slowly walking towards the podium.

Then, a solemn piano sound resounded melodiously in the hall with the appearance of the man.

The venue, which had been a little noisy, fell completely silent, and the audience consciously closed their mouths and looked towards the podium with a curious and expectant look.

The screen at the top of the podium slowly lit up, and several drones descended from the pitch-black dome and floated in mid-air, showing exactly what they were filming.

At this time, on the six screens at the top of the podium, the man finally came out of the darkness, walked into the searchlight, and walked into the sight of everyone.

It was a middle-earth man whose age was somewhat unclear.

The man wore an ordinary back and a black suit without any features, looking young and ordinary, and the only thing that could be remembered was the man's eyes.

It was a pair of bright eyes, but with an inexplicable light, the original young appearance, it was precisely because of these eyes that people could not tell his real age.

If you don't look at those eyes, this man seems to be only in his twenties, but after seeing his eyes, you will think that the other party is in his early thirties, or even more than forty.

It was a pair of eyes that were enough to see through everything, sharp and vicissitudes.

"Darwin's Theory of Evolution tells us that we evolved from forest apes."

Without any opening remarks, no self-introduction, no warm-up for the venue, the man suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and low.

"But what is evolution?"

The man raised his hand and gestured lightly with his thumb and forefinger, "Modern science has taught us that evolution is actually a genetic change. ”

"Many people think that evolution is the change from simple to complex, from low to high 'evolution', which is actually wrong, it means that those parts of genes that are suitable for the environment are retained, and the parts that are not suitable are eliminated, and there is no distinction between advanced and low genes."

The man smiled slightly, "In our Central Continent region, the translation of "Theory of Evolution" as "Theory of Evolution" was actually not wrong at that time, the only difference between these two words is probably that the former belongs to disordered evolution, and the latter is orderly evolution, but modern mainstream science recognizes disordered evolution. ”

"It's as if our ancestors have always lived in Africa, but our relatives have already left Africa more than two million years ago, and the accumulation of genetic mutations and mutations has been selected by different environments, and ancient humans have embarked on different evolutionary paths."

"Our relatives who went out of Africa became Denisovans, Neanderthals and other genera, who had larger brains and stronger strength than us, and once entrenched in the whole world."

"It wasn't until 70,000 years ago that our ancestors, Homo sapiens, came out of Africa, and about 50,000 years ago, Homo sapiens began to intersect with Neanderthals and Denisovans."

"And then, what happened?"

The man spread his hands and showed pride, "We ate them, we killed all the creatures, and it can be seen from the fossil remains that the other genera were once our food." ”

"Not only that, but it only took us 30,000 years to exterminate 75% of the earth's large organisms, and the mass extinctions of species before humans were usually based on millions or even tens of millions of years, and we have increased this rate by a thousand times!"

When he said this, the faces of many people in the audience gradually changed, and there were bursts of conversation.

"What I want to ask here is, do they not conform to the theory of evolution for those creatures that have been extinct?"

The man's voice grew louder, "Could it be that those Neanderthals, who are smarter and stronger than us, are not as well adapted to the environment as our genes?" ”

"No, it's not!"

A sneer tugged at the corner of the man's mouth, "They just can't get used to us." ”

As these words were spoken, the audience erupted in low shouts again.

Ignoring the changing faces of everyone in the audience, the man continued to speak, "Some people may think that it is against the scientific spirit that I have been using the theory of "Theory of Evolution" as an example that has not yet been determined and is likely to be overturned, but you can rest assured that whether "Theory of Evolution" is true or false has nothing to do with the topic I am talking about this time, because I want to talk about a new theoretical ......."

"Do you remember what was the first sign of human civilization?"

As the man asked, countless people in the audience suddenly shouted loudly, "Fire! ”

"That's right, it's fire."

The man suddenly reached into his pocket, took out a box of matches, pulled out one, and swiped lightly next to the matchbox, only to hear a snort, and the match slowly lit......

But then, the man stretched out his other hand and pinched it lightly with two fingers, and the burning flame was extinguished.

The huge screen above the man's head gave a close-up of the man's movements, and I saw the man throw away the match lightly, raise his head and say casually:

Lawrence of Arabia, who loved to snuff out burning matches with his fingers, asked his colleague William Porter what he had to do to extinguish the fire without hurting himself, and Lawrence laughed and said, "The trick is ...... Don't care about the pain. ”

Hearing this, the audience suddenly burst into a chuckle.

The man continued, "Fire, the sign of human civilization, which distinguishes man from other creatures, and completely establishes himself on the earth, and then in 4000 BC we invented the wheel; In 800 B.C., we invented the sundial; 9th century A.D., gunpowder; 19th century, steam engines, railways, electric lights, the theory of relativity; In the 20th century, automobiles, television, nuclear bombs, the Internet, quantum mechanics; In the 21st century, biotechnology, nanotechnology, nuclear fusion, and M theory! ”

The man paced the podium like a cannonball, "We humans, for 30,000 years, there has been almost no genetic evolution, but we have turned the whole world upside down, what does all this depend on? Could it be those ethereal gods? ”

As these words were spoken, the faces of some religious figures in the audience suddenly changed.

"Actually, it's a little bit."

But in the next second, the man asked himself, and at the same time, his words changed, "How were Neanderthals exterminated?" In the North American science fiction drama "Westworld", Professor Ford said to the robot Bernard, "Neanderthals were eaten by us", while Harari, the author of "A Brief History of Mankind", believes that "imagination" is the fundamental reason why our ancestors survived......"

"Over the past tens of thousands of years, Homo sapiens has evolved from Africa to become more 'imaginative', which has given our ancestors unprecedented impetus in the face of harsh environments, ethnic cohesion and cultural transmission, and has created 'imaginary' stories to support their spirits, such as 'gods', 'witches', 'totems', and so on."

"So, religion isn't really useless."

The man spread his hands, and then cut the railway, "But in the final analysis, we still rely on science and technology!" Science can make us understand the world, and technology can help us change the world! ”

"Even, technology can help us participate in evolutionary ......"

After a pause, the man continued to speak, "No, it is no longer considered evolution at the technological level, this is the real 'evolution', because we can control the direction of our own evolution, and we can evolve more perfectly!" At the end of the day, we need to live longer, and that's the ultimate meaning of evolution! ”

"As we all know, we at Brackwash have developed a 'aging reversal therapy' project that uses stem cells to delay aging, and at the same time developed three specific drugs for cancer......

"This is the new theory I have elaborated - "The Theory of Technology Interfering with Evolution", and we human beings can find an evolutionary path beyond the natural world in our own way, because ......"

The man paused, he looked around the audience, and finally said with a bright eye:

"We are God!"
