How You Know This Shit Was Written By Men!

Yes, because beating the tar our of each other is the epitome of human purpose.
No one said anything about purpose, the point being made is that humans aren't cut from the same cloth as the used to be...

Me, I think it's a good case for cultural evolution that we don't engage in such stupidity. As for biological evolution, you'd have to make the case that we're actually incapable of such antics due to the mutation of our genotype in order to support your point that we've devolved. And the change in alleles over time is the metric for evolution -- or de-evolution, for that matter.
"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."

Actually, bare knuckle fighting is safer, in terms of head trauma, than boxing with gloves and hand wraps. Don't believe me? Go and risk breaking your hand on some asshole's skull with each blow and get back to me on how eager you are to flail away at his head, versus using precise jab/cross combinations to the face while focusing most attention on body shots, which is what most decent bare knuckle fighters do. I'd say that modern-era boxers who willfully absorb blow after blow to the head have nothing to fear in comparison with their bare-knuckle counterparts, if we are talking about courage or toughness. Sense and a decent respect for one's health, on the other hand . . . RE: How You Know This Shit Was Written By Men!

I do not "visit xtian forums" because then I would just be another troll like you. Besides, how many sanctimonious cunts do you think I can stand to be around?
