So on twitter over the past 24 hours as if this was the only idiot, one could only wish, I have run into a peddler of evolution denial.
I am so sick of this crap. Unfortunately humans don't like their social norms upset so they'd rather defend a mythology than accept they got it wrong.
Dawkins rightfully points out where most get it wrong. Laypeople think of DNA like mixing paint, and that is the WRONG way of looking at evolution. He rightfully describes it like shuffling a deck of cards. The uniform back of the card is the 98% all life shares. The face of the card is 1 to 2% difference which can be the difference in looks between the Ace of spades and the King of Diamonds. It is why a human and blade of grass look different. Tiny changes in the DNA sequence over long periods of time will lead to different looks.
Humans who cant understand evolution stupidly want to claim those whom accept it as fact, that we are claiming that a monkey gave direct birth to a human, and that is NOT what evolution advocates are claiming.
Evolution is fact, "theory" in science as a word is not the "mere guess" laypeople falsely want it to be.
"Theory" in scientific method is based on REPEATED TESTED AND FALSIFIED observation and experimentation.
It is why one can look at trees and bushes and grass and see they are part of the plant kingdom. It is why we call domestic house cats and tigers CATS. No a tiger didn't give birth to a house cat. It is merely the observation going back in time the more similar the DNA sequences were.
The worst part of this moron, is once again, was tweeting telling people not to get the flu, shot. Telling people not to do that is dangerous, to especially kids and the elderly.
