Do you think that who or whatever created us or whatever we came from meant for us to drink animal milk?

I think that the person who mentioned that osteoporosis can be caused by drinking milk is half right. Not because there's too much calcium in it, but because it contributes to your protein intake, which in many people is way above a natural level. Protein can contribute to high acidity in the body, and calcium is leached from the bones to neutralise the acid. So milk producers tell you to drink milk for healthy teeth and bones, but the result is often the opposite. No-one who eats a wide variety of different foods ever needs calcium from milk unless they are suffering from some physical abnormality. Any extra you consume above what you need doesn't strengthen bones, it merely ends up in the toilet. \n\nTo avoid osteoporosis, it is also necessary to exercise regularly, as this strengthens bones as well as muscle.\n\nTo get back to the specific question, milk is designed to be the ideal food for the young of the mother who produces it. The balance of different constituents that makes up the milk of different species varies enormously. i.e. rats milk is very different to cows milk is very different to human milk. So, no, I don't think you should drink very much of it at all, unless you are a baby, and it's your mother's you are drinking, in which case drink all you can get.

We don't get any choice in  who we descend from. Secondly, you could argue that God planned the evolution process as many Christians argue - it is the position of the Anglican church. The Catholic position is that man may or may not have descended from the apes but God is responsible for man having a soul. Secondly, any development of evolution must ultimately be the result of God's work whether it be through evolution or other mechanisms.\n\nIndeed, Christianity or other religions with similar cosmology do not claim that man is descended from God - rather, the claim is that God made man. In Christianity, Jesus is the son of God and thus God's only descendant. \n\nI assume you are aware of the famous riposte from Thomas Huxley who invented the term agnosticism to Bishop Samuel Wilberforce.\n\n"If the question is put to me would I rather have a miserable ape for a grandfather or a man highly endowed by nature and possessed of great means of influence and yet who employs these faculties and that influence for the mere purpose of introducing ridicule into a grave scientific discussion, I unhesitatingly affirm my preference for the ape."

In Bill Brysons book 'a short history of nearly everything' the likelihood of us coming to earth as protein chains from other planets is discussed.  There is a wealth of evidence to support this theory.  The question that this brings up however, is who or where did the protein come from in the first place.  This is discussed as well, but even having read it twice, I'm still not sure what to think.

this story is same as my sister told her daughter .she told my niece if she (daughter) would not drink a glass of milk daily "milk police" will arrest her.\n\nsuch stories are made up to make people a bit obedient to the beliefs. bible writers wanted people to behave so the idea of hell fire came up. do not take things literally. even my niece got smarter after a few months. she knows now that there is no such thing as milk police.

I believe it was when we gained knowledge. I don't believe in the Adam and Eve story as anything but mythology, but I do believe in both God and evolution. I believe it was just a metaphor for when our brains evolved to the point of intelligent reasoning and the thought processes that made us the dominant species. That was what eating the apple represented. So I'm sure our having souls and the entire concept of souls developed out of that accomplishment.\n\nNow I'm kinda going to have to rethink that considering I believe cats, dogs and horses have souls too, but I think it's because they have an emotional intelligence that chickens and cows and bugs just don't have.

No, everything came from a source, but its name was never Jehovah.\n\n"In many cultures it is customary to answer that God created the universe out of nothing. But this is mere temporizing. If we wish courageously to pursue the question, we must, of course ask next where God comes from? And if we decide this to be unanswerable, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always existed?" ~Carl Sagan

I don't really back this alien idea as most of our genes and DNA matches up with other animals etc on the planet so is that to say that aliens created everything?\n\nIf you mean did aliens just create humans then how can we explain all these matches with the existing life on Earth?

No you don't know the answer. You know that "that's the way god made it" or "we evolved that way", but either way, you can't truly and accurately know if you are right.\n\n---\nBTW, if you believe that "we evolved from chimpanzees", you need to refresh your memory on what exactly the modern evolutionary theory says. Don't put words in Darwin's mouth that he never said.

These are quotes from the book, Do Fish Drink Water?\n\n"If you are a creationist, you believe God created man and all of the animals on the earth.  It wouldn't make a lot of sense for God to create an egg, so the chicken must have come first.  After all, if God created the egg first, there would be no hen to hatch it or to care for the chick once it was hatched"\n\n"If you are an evolutionist, you believe that animals evolve into different species over time.  Therefore the chicken must have evolved from a former chicken-like creature ((actually it evolved from reptiles like the T-rex))  At some point in time this creature laid an egg that hatched into a modern chicken.  It couldn't have been a chicken egg, because there was no such thing as a chicken yet.  The first chicken egg could only have been laid by the first chicken."\n\nBoth answers are the same depending if you're an evolutionist or a creationist.  The chicken came first!!!  =)

all of the above. Yeah, we did; we didn't love them enough.\n\nTV did. They are latchkey kids that learn their morals and lose their virtue by being force-fed violence, mythology, perversions, delusions, drugs, sex, and mix it all with a little blood-lust and devil worship, declare God to be dead, and what do you get? \n\nWithout true purpose and meaning, insert Darwins Evolution in the place of Creationism, do away with God, or insert a little doubt, we are worthless creatures of chance. If we just disintegrate to dust at death, then party hardy, throw care to the wind, murder, maim and destroy, because it's all meaningless anyway.

No, its not true there's a misconception when we say we come from monkeys what it means is "humans and monkeys have a common ancestor based on the DNA sequence so its in correct to say we come from monkey.

Your last question did...the one about why you were created.

Who discovered that you can get milk from a cow, and what was he doing at the time?\n\nI'm sure many people discovered that you can get milk from a cow.  Many people have probably discovered that rats give milk too.  The question is why did someone decide to taste cow milk.  The main reasons are that cows are large dumb animals.  The give lots of milk and don't fight us for it.  \n\nHumans will do a great many things to survive, and tens of thousands of years ago it was a lot tougher to survive.  Why not drink the milk of another animal to survive, early man used to break the bones of dead animals in order to suck out the bone marrow, that's way grosser. \n\nThe short answer to your question would then be, many people discovered that you can get milk from a cow, and they were probably all dying at the time.
