More Evidence for Evolution |
Yet more research shows how neurological structures evolved from those
found in worms. Theists are, naturally, quite a bit less evolved and
closer to worms. I guess it's not surprising that they would reject
such ancestry, despite being more mentally primitive themselves.

At least I've stuck my big, fat worm inside actual women before and no,
dookie, it doesn't count that you've tried to rape sheep. In any event,
your primitive worm brain is an evolutionary throwback, whereas the rest
of us at least have ancestors who have progressed over the last half
billion years or so.

I get it. You're one of those idiots that think evolution means a cat gave
birth to a dog.
Imagine a family tree, but over a few billion years. A cell split to form
double cell creatures. The double cell formations split to form four-cell
creatures. Etc. All four appendage creatures (like us) split from the
pack long ago, probably in the ocean. Before we even breathed air we had
brains, four appendages, an internal skeleton, skin, heart, lungs,
digestive system, reproductive system, a mouth, two ears, two eyes, two
nostrils, and a tongue. Look at how many animals today share the same
basic configuration. Can you imagine how complex it would have been for a
sentient being to create what currently resides on the planet earth? Can
you imagine how simple it was for for today's configuration to have
happened all by itself given the amount of time allotted, and the frequency
of environmental change, forcing genetic adaptation via natural selection?
No, I don't think you can.

Well, if you follow duke's posts long enough, you'll find he's not so
much a creationist as he is a cretinist. ;-)

I hope so. Might be in the mail. Since I am not that close, the postage

You get one. It will *not* be replaced. And ignore
the black helicopters, they're not really there - except
the one on the left, Sergie's flying it today and it's
his birthday, so give him a wave.

I take it you haven't seen what happens when you don't do as the instructions
say, such as when you feed gremlins after midnight. It is pretty ugly, let me
tell you.
