The "What If..." Thread

[Vanguard]

The hypothetical "what if" discussion!

Note: this is only meant to be thought provoking or amusing. This is not to be taken literally.

What if...Europeans never sailed across the oceans to establish colonies in the Americas. What if the Americas were established by Asians?! :nod



Feel free to add your own "what if" scenarios!

If we were to take this literally would that mean I am really an Asian. Come to think of it my dog does look like a good snack sometimes when I'm hungry. Kidding.

California would not be liberal!

While I was deer hunting this year and watching the birds and chipmunks seemingly oblivious to the cold I could help but ask the question, "Why did God not give us fur or feathers?" So to that end, what if we had fur or feathers to keep us warm?

We did have fur, but evolution did away with it.
Feathers would be more awesome.

What if we'd descended from dragons instead of apes?

What if there was no such thing as evolution?

Loaded question? Could be...

That is assuming we progressed from apes but I don't agree with that theory. If we did evolve out of our fur, that would seem to contradict the basics behind evolution because if not having fur was more beneficial to the species that trait should be far more prevalent than it is throughout the animal world? Quite frankly, we are one of the most vulnerable creatures on the planet. Just try to spend the night naked in the forest. In the summer around here one would be eaten alive by mosquitoes and other insects. In January, one wouldn't last a few hours.

Also, when Adam and Eve discovered their nakedness, it would seem logical that if they did have fur they wouldn't have noticed but God had to form coverings for them using fur.

You've never met my uncle...that man has more black hair on his body than anyone in the world. He never sunburns b/c his skin is so protected by his "coat!"

What if Dorthy never found OZ, would she have been lost in the Emerald Forest forever and what would have happened to Total? What if's are for fairy tells and fantasy and as I already see happening, will lead into argumentative debates. no , what if both tasted the same!!!
