What relevance does it have today? None.
Other than the fact that Man is only one DNA marker off from simians.
Other than that, it's not really important.
How important is it that we were created from some invisible man who lives in the sky? It isn't.
People get hung up in trivial bullshit (and that is what divides the country) and do not focus on what's important. |
It is significant in many, many ways.
First, some folks value truth for its own sake. Others would like to utilize that knowledge to understand more about us and the creatures around us.
Isn't the world fighting holy wars enough proof of the significance of believing in some invisible man who lives in the sky?
Studying genetics and DNA improve our medical technology and help save and improve lives (not just humans either) - why wouldn't this be significant today?
But mainly understanding the past gives us a pretty good idea where we are going.
Frankly i'm amazed that i had to point out these very simple things. Now that i've got you started, I'm sure you can come up with many, many more reasons why this is relevant and significant.
But if you don't care - why throw your hat in the ring?
