I am surprised to see how few geeks actually do research into the fundamentalist Christians beliefs they continually slam in this discussion. I had hoped that surely we would have risen above and beyond the art of stereotyping. I suppose not. Afterall we must demonize everyone who does not see things our way and if there are a number of them we must make sure that everyone sees them as "backwoods Fundamentalist Rednecks." Hmmmm...you guys are going to win a lot of arguments that way...morons...if you have a point even if you believe in it passionately show some courtesy and maybe you will win some to your side through your logical CONCRETE arguments, which unfortunately none of you have.
Do not get me wrong a lot of valid points have been raised concerning evolution but IT HAS NOT BEEN CONCLUSIVELY proven. Is there evidence that supports species adapt to their surroundings over time??? Definitely. Is there evidence that supports my pet Chimpanzee will turn into a human being? NO. Is there evidence that there are similarities between species? Yes. Can similarities exist and they simply be similarities and not proof of evolution? Yes. It would be folly to assume otherwise.
It seems that scientist who seek to prove evolution look at their experiments soley from the veiw point of proving it and no matter how small the connection may be (real or imagined) every "new discovery" is the "missing link"...except it's not.
I do not believe what I believe simply because I have been brainwashed by some clan of Fundamentalist Rednecks. I believe what I believe because NO-ONE has been able to DISPROVE it. The people who claim they can are so bent on making everyone who believes differently than they do look and feel like idiots that everyone else who sees their "lack of intellect" must surely agree with them or else they are just another "poor dumb dote" who refuses to ignore the truth. Hmmm....tolerance of my intolerance is intolerable???
Showing similarities between species does not prove that one came from the other. Showing how one species has changed over time is not a good indicator that one specific species has changed into another. Of course I am sure that many who read this will assume I am being completely illogical and other might agree with me. Come on though. Wake up. Accept that you cannot prove something and that some people choose to think and believe for themselves and leave it alone. IF you CAN CONCRETELY PROVE something and it is ignored come back and rant and rave. Until then. Leave us poor uneducated rednecks fundamentalist rednecks alone.
