Wait-a-minute, that doesn't sound right. Or maybe it does..... The anti-evolutionarians can get pretty weird.
Link 50 Reasons I Reject Evolution
1.) Because I don't like the idea that we came from apes… despite that humans are categorically defined and classified as apes.
2.) Because I'm too stupid and/or lazy to open a fucking science book or turn on the Discovery Science Channel.
3.) Because if I can't immediately understand how something works, then it must be bullshit.
|
And so forth. Now, here's the followup:
More "pissing" about evolution
Thu Mar 19, 2009, 11:14 AM In this fine age of technology, when I can precisely locate my own anus via Google Maps, one might think it wouldn't be too much effort to log onto the internet, open Google, type in “evolution,” and do a little research. But apparently it is. Apparently human beings are the laziest damned creatures on this whole fucking planet. In related news, bears actually DO shit in the woods. However, whether dogs piss on brick walls or not is still up for debate. Never mind the fact that many of us have actually seen dogs pissing on brick walls. Never mind the fact that there is video footage of dogs pissing on brick walls. Never mind the fact that we can incite dogs to piss on brick walls by spraying dog urine on the walls. Never mind the fact that we can predict the brick wall-pissing behavior based on what we know of mammalian territory marking habits. Disregard all that empirical evidence and proof. Whether dogs piss on brick walls or not is still up for debate because it clashes with some people's unsubstantiated beliefs that brick walls are sacred. Since brick walls are sacred, dogs could not possibly piss on them. |
And now we all understand why Creationists, unfortunate, deprived creatures that they are, are seldom seen in the company of lizards.

Oh, that Bobbie Jean Pentecost can think -- and write! She/he is completely correct to relentlessly mock people who are willfully ignorant about evolution in an era when a half-hour spent searching and reading could have given them the facts. Such people are lucky to get the mockery of their mental betters. In reality, they deserve a smack with the back of the hand.

| Yep; saw that a while ago. Pretty funny! |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The proof of it can be seen in Ken Ham's example. When he lost his lizard, he, in his grief and sensitive soul that he is, built a twenty seven million dollar tribute to lizards in Kentucky. The fact that dinosaurs were not lizards is a nit we should not pick, but merely accept that he is enamoured of big lizards and Komodo monitors want nothing to do with him. Nor even skinks, for that matter.
Perhaps after the seventh of next month, he will change his evil ways and get his lizard back. But probably not.
