Plus, I was always a bit miffed that Cain suddenly got married, yet the only other people who had been created, if we are to take it literally and exactly, were his father and mother.
    No worries, It only took the enlighted ones atleast 1800 years to figure out that the Bible were to be taken entirely literally intead of mostly allegoral.

    It's aslo funny that the first group to come to the conclusion that the earth needs to be much older than about those 10.000 years gets almost no mention at all. Those damn geologists.

    'La théorie de la récapitulation'. Which, if there is a benevolent God, hopefully simply translates as 'theory of recapitulation'. Which is now considered an erroneous biological theory.

    Which no doubt will please the critics of biology.
    A rejoicing, which, in turn, will to the science crowd only further attest to their unfamiliarity with scientific concepts, progress and perennial critical evaluation.
    That theory claims that we go through all the previously evolutionary stages, not that there's some remnant development (aka forming legs and then remove them).

    It would be simular to claiming the Lamarckism is correct because it actually does seem like some traits caused by environment does get inheirited.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Absolutely! Those should be the second ones up against the wall when the revolution comes -- right after the lawyers. Bunch of simpering know-it-all rockheads.

    Anyone hear the joke about why the Ten Commandments should not be courtroom policy?
