*You* used the term "monkey man"?
Am I misunderstanding this?
You know damn well the theory doesn't claim we evolved from monkeys. We evolved from apes.
That's just where you want to set the categories; hominid, ape, primate, etc to sea squirt and even back to bacteria. Thinking about it rather than monkey or ape I think I would prefer the term 'lemur man' I like their big eyes and beguiling tails.
Incidentally have you noticed how many babblists use monkey as a term of abuse, but they are supposed to honour their parents.
... Am I missing context here or something?
Seriously, mind is full of fuck right now.
Either I've misunderstood and you're not claiming this is your quote, this is your quote but its actually a wonderful bit of satire mocking fundamentalist thinking or I've missed a fuck ton of memos.
If its the second one then I need to congratulate you because that would make this one of the most convincing imitations I have ever read. Seriously.
I read through it quite convinced I was reading the quote of someone genuinely attempting to combine evolution and creationism to make them equal in terms of plausibility.
I thought Drich was quoting himself or someone equally mental.
