He talks about Homer but Homer speaks of Apollo coming down from Mt Olympus shooting arrows at the Greeks.  Does our catholick pal think that happened, too?  If not, why not?  It's written in an old book.

And I am supposed to believe that my great great grandpa was a monkey? Why don't I see half men half monkey walking around? OK, so not a real feeling have but I think its on par with what you said. The difference is that maybe you're a little more intellectually foolish sounding.

I get it that atheist are not evangelist but if you want to sound reasonable then avoid the ad hominem attacks. Thats my new favorite fallacy  Big Grin Cool

Wow.  There's some irony right there.  Wow.

Dude, maybe before you argue against evolution, you should learn something about it.  Evolutionary Biologists would tear you to shreds.  Hell, people with barely a high school education could tear you to shreds.

BTW, an ad hominem is an actual fallacy.  Simply calling someone names is not an ad hom.  Here's a little clue: an ad hom means the only argument is against a person's character.  Calling you a moron or idiot (or whatever fun descriptor there might be), as long as it's followed with a reasoned argument, is not an ad hom.
