You got it - I am so sick of these microcephalous religious imbeciles dumbing down our country. "To hell" with them all. Cant believe how stupid most Americans are - truly embarrassing.

How could Chickens be descended from Dinosaurs if they co-existed in the Garden of Eden?

rodbarker60 : You need to get your facts straight Evolution doesn%u2019t start from nothing. That%u2019s implicit in the name you can%u2019t evolve from nothing.

The problem with most creationists is they assume that evolution describes the origin of life. It doesn%u2019t that a different field of study referred to as abiogenesis (the study of how life on Earth emerged from non-life). Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population over time. Basically for evolution to work you have to start with existing living organism not nothing.

Well said Nic. most creationists suffer from a common misconception contending that darwinian evolution is trying to explain the origin of life. This could not be farther from the truth. Evolution is a theory helping to illuminate the mechanism and reasons for not why life is here, but why it is as diverse as we see. Evolution is a mechanism behind what bio-diversity we see and the proiferation of certain species in secific ecological niches. An evolutionary biologist would NEVER claim to know how life started...they can only offer to shed a little light on where its been.

creationists will go to extremes to hold on to their silly beliefs.

today''''''''s doughnuts are descended from?
Posted by rushlimpdrug at 11:57 AM : Apr 25, 2008

Doughnuts have a disputed history. One theory suggests that they were introduced into North America by Dutch settlers, However there is also archaeological evidence that the pastries were prepared by prehistoric Native Americans in southwestern USA.

Of course if you%u2019re a creationist then they where created on the fifth day at noon by God just before taking a coffee break.
