Evolution in Action- Revealed!
Quote:While the distribution for the genetically distinct species overlaps along the northern and eastern Australian coastline, the finding that they mated and produced offspring is unprecedented, according to the discovery team from the University of Queensland.

The fundies got what they asked for! Evolution in action! Now how will they try to explain this in biblical terms?

Oh you know those biblical literalists and evangelicals.
They believe in bullshit. They'll figure a way to bullshit this to conform with their other bullshit.

You obviously can't use blasphemous things like "facts" or "evidence" with these idiots.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

You know, that's actually not a bad idea. Next time someone wonders why we don't see crockoducks in nature...

In a strange coincidence, that one was created right after God invented wacky weed.

I can just picture YHWH and Lucifer kicking back, passing a blunt of the finest Roman Red, giggling uncontrollably while they're trying to come up with the most fucked up ideas for animals to create.

Clearly, the platypus was the winner.

I know it exists because I have stats for it in my monster manual. Be careful around them. They're a challenge rating 4.
