Okay, I'm looking at my hand as we speak, elaborate. (things fit in my hand by the way, been down this road before...lol)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Look at your opposible (sp?) thumb. Do you think that was an accident?

No, I don't. Accident or god, however, is false dichotomy. I wonder what other options are available.

Another non-responsive reply. The same as "CREATION. LOOK IT UP. LEARN. COME BACK.
I refuse to call you dumb for your reply.

Are you going to elaborate on your point about opposable thumbs at all?

Non-responsive? You clearly do not understand evolution because you've already stated you think it is where we come from sludge out the ground or some shit like that.

There are innumerable articles about the opposable thumb, and if you knew how evolution works you'd know why it evolved that way. Its harder to understand, but 'goddidit' isn't really an answer.

I'm sorry Rhythm, I thought you were smart enough to understand. "One of the characteristics most often identified as being typically primate and having played a role in human evolution is the opposable thumb. It is argued that the eye-hand coordination made possible by both stereoscopic vision and a grasping hand permitted primates to exploit arboreal habitats in a more efficient fashion. That same hand is used by humans today to manipulate tools and, in turn, the environment with a great deal of dexterity.

Now, Ms. Shepley is an evolutionist but she makes a good point. Naturally, I disagree that we obtained our opposable thumb by "evolution" because I am not an evolutionist. I leave it to you to decide nforb yourself on that point. To me, I just cant understand how we could be so complex by evolving from "pond sludge".
I truly am interested in your opinions.

Oh IDK, the evolution of opposable thumbs, to me, is much easier to understand than "goddidit" since the latter has absolutely no explanatory power.
