  It's called Hominidae. Of which the subfamily we belong to is called Homininae, of whom we are the only known surviving species to date.

  
  
  Probably because we killed the other species using our super intelligence in an incredible Homininae war that lasted 100 years.
  
  
  Really, no idea.

  On the subject of the videos themselves: I think I enjoy the "Why I am no longer a creationist" playlist is more enjoyable. At least what I had time for. The other seemed kind of obnoxious to me.

  Creationism is bogus? My bible and shotgun beg to differ.

  Bean Rua is a few forums downwards. Go back to "Mabination Community", look all the way down and you'll see it! Good luck with your trip!

  Yeah it comes off as a tongue-sticking at creationists and non-creationist circle jerk the way he presents it, but the informations are interesting nonetheless. I can't really put it against him though, I understand where his frustration and annoyance comes from. It starts with deceitful puppeteers and ends with arrogantly ignorant puppets. Particularly that one guy who is repeatedly the subject of his videos, that "good christian" in his opulent mansion. I sometimes think he and Sparta are the same person~
  And to be frank I quite like his rebuttals as they are. It's funny.

  It just feels like of the two, those videos would definitely alienate people from the point more. Some people are genuinely willing to learn but I think that those videos would drive them away.

  There are also those that aren't willing to learn; there's a group of people at my school (including a few professors) attempting to prove Christianity with science. They just move the creation part up the evolutionary ladder. And they really don't know what they're talking about half the time.

  Yeah, there's also people like that.
  
  When I was a kid and still a believer I used to think of science as the study of how god went about things. I liked both sides of the coin and I didn't want to put religion and science at odds. If only it were that simple for everyone.

  Yeahh, it's really pointless to try to prove something like that (as in the existence of God or abiogenesis). There are people attempting to recreate early Earth and generate organic proteins or try to create the "luca" etc. But research is much better spent on utilitarian things (like cancerrr). Or at least that's my point of view.
