    Don't worry, that's just Dave being charming. No offense intended, I'm sure. I think he likes you.

    If someone comes in here and says a large segment of the world's population is suffering from "idiocy" but doesn't fully explain thier position, regardless of they say its a "rant" they need to have their habitat adjust in a way for their scrotum to turn into a testical holding organ. I don't believe in evolution, not because I'm a creationist, but because their are as many holes in the theory as a brothel in Amstradam. If someone wants to show off to an international forum about how "enlightened" he is compared to us knuckle dragging neanderthals that want bend to his beliefs, bring forth thy nutz and speaketh upon thine flock.

    and yes, I like the new guy.

    To a cretin extent Dave is right...

    There are examples of micro evolution but we have no firm evidence of macro evolution.

    Believing either in evolution or what ever is an act of faith.

    and conceals from the stupid,
    the vast limits of their knowledge.

    Catholics almost universally agree that evolution sounds like a solid micro-explanation of God's creation in relation to the spiritual macro-explanation contained in the Bible. I truly don't see what the hold up is here with our proddie neighbors.

    Creationism is pretty dumb, unless you are going to argue like the Sumerians did, that aliens came down and had sex with female apes, and the hybrid resulted in Homospiens.

    Sort of the otherway round. Even though they were vastly old, they believed that gods came from another world and had sex with female of the species for whatever reason, thus giving birth to Homosapiens. Because of this mingling, it is argued this caused the big evolutionary jumps which biologists find hard to explain, because of receiving certain genetic information.

    If this sounds too confusing, I will put it this way. Do you remember the final of Battlestar Galatica? Think of it like that. (this will get Lemur at least. knowing what I am on about)

    Pretty impressive from a religion from 4000 odd BC.

    Yeah I have a book on eye witness accounts from history the fist one is a tablet from ancient sumer supposedly that details a young boys day at school and later doing his homework. If you ignore the date at the top of the page it just reads like a kid of today amazing stuff.
