Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the shaking-the-tree-to-see-what-falls-out dept.

      Sorry for the comment abuse, but I just had to post this comment from youtube:

      The fact that we are born babies and evolve into people is evidence enough to dispel the myth of evolution. If we were born monkeys, then there would be billions of monkeys in the world as there are billions of people. This does not equate. People have called me stupid for expressing my facts, but I am far from stupid. I took an IQ test at my church school, and I scored 95. You cannot get more than 100% and so I am in the top 5% of the smartest people in the world. chew on that disbelievers.

      This just made my day.
