The 'missing link'.

**** you, all you creationist cockholes!

[redsniper]

I would just like to say that I am religious and yet I think that creationists are some of the most amazingly idiotic people on the planet. Carry on.

[IceFire]

In my view...religion and relgious belief does not equal creationism.  Its a optional feature

[an0n]

In my opinion, anyone who believes in any God(s) should be taken out back and violently introduced to them.

I will not deny that evolution may play a role in the development of life.  I will not however give it primacy.  It isn't an either/or to me. It's causal, life was created, then it may have evolved.  

However, in this case you're missing link is a missing link between a gibbon and a chimp not chimp and humans.

Here's an interesting theory about evolution I read the other day:

Oh, he's right, he's just attributed it all to the wrong being.

The universe was created and is maintained by Billy, an invisible being that lives in a small rock I have in my closet. I know because he told me himself. While I was on top of a mountain, when nobody else was around.

Billy says he created the universe for the benefit of bacteria. Human beings are just a way to move bacteria off planet. That is our purpose. If we do it well, he'll reward us with eternity in paradise. Fail to please him, and you will suffer for eternity!

Billy says you may please him by sending me money.

You can accept or deny whatever the hell you please, what's right will still be right.

And by that I mean your religion is stupid and wrong.

I always thought that the only difference between religious and non-religious beliefs about creation should basically be whether the Big Bang was natural or an act of God.......

[an0n]

No, the difference between religion and science is that science maintains impartiality where religion claims supreme right.

i personally am glad we evolved from monekys. if we evolved from cats, we wouldnt get as much sex.

If life began not in Africa, but in Essex then we'd all be having much, much more.

[Bri_Dog]

It doesn't matter where we came from. We're here now and that's all that's important.

Its the difference between blind stupidity and rational thought.

Can't we switch this back from a religion vs. atheism thread back to making fun of people who thing the world was created approximately 6000 years ago?

[Liberator]

No, because it's the same thing.  Without the other side being represented.

[Grey Wolf]

Not quite. In one, you have atheists, agnostics, a good deal of Christians, and various other religions making fun of another group of Christians, whereas in the other you have atheists vs. agnostics vs. religious people.

[JR2000Z]

If you want to be 'real' about evalution, I guess you have to say that life always started on earth. It managed to survive the atmospheric properties back then and still be able to reproduce.

Later on, the life forms evolved with the Earth. It had to make use of the oxygen that was created 2 billion years ago from cyanobacteria.

Kudos for the Essex joke

What's the difference between an Essex girl and a Porsche?
You don't lend the Porsche out to your friend

But, finding another missing link is cool.  I guess we'll have the whole family tree before too long....
