Are there seriously people out there who think "chicken or the egg" is a rebuttal to evolution?

I thought the author was joking. Maybe not.

Quote:Basically, many, many moons ago there was a chicken-like bird. It was genetically close to a chicken, but wasn’t a full-blown chicken yet. Krulwich calls it a proto-chicken. So proto-hen laid an egg, and proto-rooster fertilized it. But when the genes from ma and pa almost-chicken fused, they combined in a new way, creating a mutation that accidently made the baby different from its parents. Although it would take millennia for the difference to be noticed, that egg was different enough to become the official progenitor of a new species, now known as … the chicken! So in a nutshell (or an eggshell, if you like), two birds that weren’t really chickens created a chicken egg, and hence, we have an answer: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken.

Which came first? The egg: Laid by a protochicken.

Q: Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

A: No, dammit, they're not. And I resent the implication that the ignorance I maintain toward things biblical -through great vigilance- is something inconsequential or trivial to achieve. I avert my eyes whenever scripture appears on the horizon. Of course, I do have a natural tendency against boredom .. so perhaps it is easier for me.

Oh, whoops. Yeah probably. All these threads start to look alike after a while!

No, dammit, it was God who created the chickens first who then laid eggs. Read Genesis 1 goddammit!

Is it just me, or is Protochicken a great name for a metal band?
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

How many words do you need to say all religions in human history are a product of human imagination?

An elaborate comic book is still a comic book.

Nineteen apparently.  (Bolded to make sure.)  But when you consider all the fine novels and other works of art which have also been created by the human imagination .. it kind of makes you appreciate them a little more.   Wink
