He was resisting god's message. He misheard "formula" as "milk" and bought milk. He misheard "poison the formula" as "stop at this house." He then misheard "force them to eat the poisoned formula at knifepoint" as "give them the milk." So the couple was able to feed their child...
...who grows up to be the most evil dictator in history. Moral of the story? When god talks to you, PAY SOME FUCKING ATTENTION.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
