Evolution for fundamentalists

Between new world monkeys and tarsiers. Should be in new world. Tarsiers, though, could be anywhere.

Er....

Mammals evolved as the continents were separating. Marsupials have a S America to Australia connection.

Ah, Pangia breaking up. Gotcha.

Doctor says:
All creation scientists employ the scientific method.

That was all. He went and hid and came back with his claims a day later.

Lovely how they expect us to have an attention span as short as theirs, isn't it?

Wrong!

As it turns out, most of us know more about Intelligent Design Creationism than the average IDiot. As for evolution, I've yet to meet an IDiot who even comes close to understanding it, although Michael Behe and Michael Denton come pretty close.

Klinghoffer and his friends are deluding themselves if they think we don't know what they are saying and they are even more delusional if they think they understand evolution. We've proven time and time again that they don't.

Are we surprised? No, because the one thing all IDiots have in common is the God delusion—the biggest one of all.

A J.C.Sanford, apparently a creationist, sees multiple reading frames and other reading plans (constraints) as evidence of design. I say spandrels.

Some humor from our Amazon thread by Dr Janis

OK. I will come clean about Tiktaalik. Kuhn was right when he thought it was only known from a wrist.

See, Tiktaalik is actually one of the oldest fossils known to humankind. Round symbols drawn on the walls in the caves of Lascaux, originally uninterpretable, are now considered to represent the wrist-bones of Tiktaalik.

In ancient Egypt, these bones were considered to be the playing stones of the great cat god Morris. The languished for a while in Tutenkahmen's tomb, but were then rediscovered in the 14th century by the Buckinghamshire priest, Egbert of Bletchley. He secreted them in his undergarments and took them to his local parish, where they were identified as the wrist bones of Saint Agnes of Milton Keynes. Neil Shubin saw them there when he was on a tourist trip to England on honeymoon, and recognised them as the "missing piece" of the fossil he had discovered in the Arctic the previous year.

I'm surprised they haven't claimed the Five Stars from "Prometheus" as a sign of God yet.

Don't you need a priest to have a mass?

No, you need a German Biergarten.

No, you need a German Biergarten.

Fare 'nuff.

Catch of the day:

In addition to the fossil record, the insuperable anatomical gulfs between human beings and apes also invalidate the fairytale of evolution. One of these has to do with walking.

Human beings walk upright, on two legs, using a special movement not encountered in any other living thing. Some mammals may have a restricted ability to move on two legs, such as bears and apes, and stand upright on rare occasions for short periods of time, such as when they wish to reach a food source or scout for danger. But normally they possess a stooped skeleton and walk on four legs.

However, bipedalism (walking on two legs) did not evolve from the four-legged gait of apes, as evolutionists would have us believe.
