“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? ... If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Herschel said in an appearance at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia on Sunday.

Same reason there are still Republicans.

There was a fella who used to be active on this board, who laughed at the idea birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Wonder if there are any evolution denialists still around.

Sure, T. rex is closer in height to Stegosaurus than a sparrow. But that doesn't tell you much; 'Dinosaur Comics' author Ryan North is closer in height to certain dinosaurs than to the average human.

Yes, some people believe their religious texts more than they believe observational facts.

Hey dipshit, evolution is just a theory.

It should illegal to be this stupid.

Are people stupid to ask questions? Should we just believe what elitists tell us?

I don't know....are people too stupid to not edit their grammar?

Asking real questions is fine. That isn't a real question......it's a "I don't understand something and so I'll deny it or use it to blame smart people and advance.my distrust of authority narrative"

There are certain mental illnesses and personality disorders that should be considered in elections. It is so important to elect representatives who have a reasonable grasp of reality and a reasonable level of control on their emotions. Walker's statements about the basic tenets of biology and his domestic violence history indicate that he has neither.

There seems to be a Republican trend of nominating disturbed and/or delusional candidates.

In your case, definitely.

The only reason evolution is at all controversial is that some Protestant Christians (the Catholic Church accepts evolution) are committed to believing that everything the Bible says is literally, historically true.

Which is impossible. The Bible says Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great and during a Roman census. The first Roman census of Judea was not taken until 10 years after Herod died.

Apes are still around because they’ve been adapting to a type of environment where they can flourish. Humans are still around because they’ve been adapting in ways that allow them to survive in many different environments.
There are very few areas on earth where humans can’t survive. The areas where apes can survive are rapidly shrinking.

I'm historically right about the Roman census.

 

[phrodeau]

I'm historically right about the Roman census.

Given the choice between historians and the Bible, some people will always choose the Bible.

I’m not denying that.
