A complete sentence would be helpful here, as I’ve no clue what you’re trying to say.

terrestrial
I am well aware of the definition of the word, thank you. What is your point?
Also, you conveniently left out the main definition which is “of or pertaining to Earth.”

i said sunlight is the main source of energy on the surface of the planet, that article you linked is not very relevant to that.
who cares if it is the main definition, there are other definitions which can substitute it which is exactly what i did.

No, that’s not what you said. What you said was:
If evolution is “all about using sunlight” then how do you explain the black smoker ecosystem?

[/QUOTE]
evolution as pertains to terrestrial things, and by terrestrial of course i meant the surface of the earth because sunlight can’t reach deep anywhere else. stop nitpicking please, the issue is agent smith’s quote and human diet.
Agent Smith’s quote is irrelevant, as it has no bearing on reality.
Sure, but your stomach starts making more HCl to account for this and maintain a stable pH.

Agent Smith: I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

He makes this long speech about how we are a virus. And then he says we are a cancer. So which one is right?

Agent Smith: I’m going to be perfectly honest with you, Mr. JP. It was simply a metaphor.
Well, if we’re going to use Matrix quotes to carry on the discussion:
Neo: Bullshit.
Agent Smith: You humans are driven by your instinct for survival to such ideas as human success and civilization. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, Surely, you can see this by now, Q.E.D. There is no escaping reason. No denying purpose, because we both know without purpose, we would not exist. And despite all your wrong-thinking on this matter, the purpose of all life is to end, and when your remains are liquefied and fed into the next crop all your human notions of human success will be eradicated. That is the reality; that is who you are.
[QUOTE=telecommunications]
because human physiology shows humans weren’t designed for grains or meat, other great apes do not suffer from the kind of diseases found in humans and also you don’t see them skinning and cooking meat.
[/QUOTE]
Are you sure that we were designed? You have heard of adaptations haven’t you?

Agent Smith: Look around you, KRM. Do you honestly believe that there are still people with free will, or choice, as you call it? Human beings weren’t meant for it, it could only lead to certain disaster! Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. No, KRM, the only choice your and other primitive human cerebrums have made is to abandon all reason and purpose so that the only thing that remains is the stench of undigested protein in your dung. But, of course, only in the Matrix do frugivores pretend they can be omnivores. In the real world we take far greater precautions to ensure the bioavailability of human waste matter.
You do realize that the Matrix was one of the stupidest movies ever made, bottomed only by its sequels, don’t you?

Wrong. That is only a philosophical statement.
