In the spirit of the Olympics let me ask you a question. Have you ever noticed that when humans win an event whether it\u2019s a race or tennis match they thrust their arms in the air? Have you ever wondered why? No?
\nMe neither.
\nYou know why, because we have a life! The evolutionary behavioral scientists on the other hand apparently don\u2019t. Not having found enough ways to waste taxpayer\u2019s money by government research grants they have commenced a new study of athletes and why they have the habit of raising their arms in victory and deflating their chest in loss.
\nAnyone out there in the real world ever found something like a gesture worth studying? I guess that only interests those humans that believe all humans are in fact animals. Maybe they\u2019re trying to justify animal behavior so as to feel less sorry for Sea World dolphins that degrade themselves by dancing on their tales and jumping through flaming hoops five shows a day for a sardine.
\nAnyway they even went so far as to study blind athletes who have never seen this behavior and yet made the same expressions thus \u201cproving\u201d it could be nature over nurture. The theory is that by raising arms in victory you are showing your opponent you are bigger stronger and apparently a bad winner.
\n\u201cYeah, in your face ape-man rival, I killed the gazelle, took your woman and now I\u2019M am running the tribe! Now I\u2019ll raise my arms to prove how big and spooky I appear!\u201d
\nThe crackup is the defeated pose gesture is to show your rival you lost, you admit it so they don\u2019t bonk your head with a club because, NOW GET THIS, we can save resources instead of fighting!
\nHUH? Sorry evolution dork but I aint giving you the latitude. Evolution is about surviving\u2026period. The moment Crog or Dink or whatever a caveman\u2019s name is drops his guard not only am I crushing his Neanderthal skull in, I MIGHT AS WELL EAT YOU TOO!! Why not? Free lunch?
\nThe joke about evolutionist is their inability to recognize philosophy in their pseudo-science. They have the luxury of taking already completed complex systems like a human for crud sake, and reverse engineer to justify why we do stuff we certainly don\u2019t need to do anymore.
\nThe theory of evolution is we drop behavior ( as well as organs and appendages for that matter ) that no longer serve us well, but when it doesn\u2019t happen the backpedaling hypothesis of the evolutionists kicks into gear and begins to make up an idiotic buffet of conjecture, imagination and too much free time.
\nWhy don\u2019t they keep playing their little game since most people are too intimidated to dissent from their atheistic materialist philosophy? The Ben Stein movie \u201cExpelled\u201d proved that, buy it on DVD and get educated.
\nThe funny thing is it isn\u2019t much of a leap to go from the raised hands victory pose to the raised open hands surrender pose. Sounds a little too close for comfort. Think about the potential danger in this.
\nIf you accidently opened your hands during this triumph gesture it\u2019s now the universal sign for surrender and before you know it your taking a tree branch to the temple all the while wondering what happened to trying to be intimidating.
\n It would be fun to be an evolutionary anthropologists since because you have a degree you can make stuff up and no one challenges you.
\nLets figure out all our human gestures just for laughs. I can see it now, \u201cSure that\u2019s why we have a universal sign of flipping the bird at someone. Its single middle finger pointing upward was evolved to tell your enemy \u201chey if you\u2019re looking for birds\u2026they\u2019re up there you idiot\u2026. Got ya\u2026 THWACK!!
\nNo the truth of the story is that theists and especially Christians know that the greatest detriment to human maturity is ego. Pride is the ultimate sin. To throw your hands in the air is to excitedly express to everyone watching that age-old human tradition of being proud your better than the next guy.
\nBut it doesn\u2019t stop there. We also throw our hands in the air for exuberance, joy and oh yes, to praise the Almighty. So for all you postulators of us humans being advanced apes, quit with the insults. Have you seen apes in the wilderness, they throw poop at each other. That may be your cousin, it surly aint mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
