Yeah, okay, I'm being a bit of a dick, but I've been reading both Christian and Atheist web sites to make sure I'm seeing both sides of the coin. I haven't read any excessively rude statements from atheists, but I read this on a Christian web site:
"If evolution were correct, and humans evolved from monkeys, then why are monkeys still around today? There is really no explanation for this, yet this heathen ideal is still taught in our schools. No doubt thanks to the agenda"s being pushed by gays and their liberal co-conspirators to destroy our youth and convert the nation to communism."
WTF? Now who sounds more like a jerk, me or that Christian? Say what you will, I'm just tired of being told I'm wrong all the time, and never seeing an ounce of proof to explain why.
This comes from a gross misunderstanding of evolution, and really the only remedy is to ensure that it's taught correctly in schools. By the flawed logic of this Christian you quoted, one can also formulate the question: If Americans came from Great Britain, why are there still Brits?
