Silly Creationist

How stupid must one be to ignore the evidence for evolution by natural selection?
I see this as a disgrace to the human mind to be honest.

One of my best friends is agnostic and he isn't convinced by evolution (I narrow this down to him not having an understanding of anything scientific) and no matter how much material I throw at him whether it be books, articles or lectures he still is not convinced... I try not to argue with him because I know he is too stubborn to see the probable truth, but I find it very difficult when he says something stupid like: "how can evolution be true when womens genitalia can tear during child birth?". Ignorance certainly is not bliss.

This is how I see creationists; either they do not want to see the truth or they simply do not understand simple ideas.

What's your creationist friend got in mind, the curse upon women from the garden of Eden?
It's kind of uneven the way this curse plays out, some suffer a bit, some a lot, many died not so long ago.
Ah but I'm just a flawed human looking for consistency from the perfect being.

I've seen video of an old time southerner describing the anatomy of a black man.
A high ass and a different nose, bigger lips obviously more primitive, closer to an ape, so he explained.
What went wrong? It seemed these guys were trying to work evolution into their world view.

(I often do parody, sarcasm and irony, I think it's obvious but I am new).

I just find it strange because my friend is not religious and doesn't believe there is or isn't a God as he says when there is evidence stronger than evidence for the other he will make a decision but he with the evidence of evolution he somehow dismisses that in everyway. There is just no argueing with some people.

And yes, I agree with what your hat says.

Have you tried hitting him with rolled up newspaper?

I have, on 3 separate occasions... no luck

Yet another attempt to undermine pretty much all that's fact. These museums are there to confuse people, as it adds legitimacy to a bullshit concept. If it exists as a tangible display than more will start to believe it, it happens all the time. My advice is to ignore these pathetic displays, the more attention the more will use this pseudoscience bullshit to justify their own pathetic blend of backasswards beliefs.

What is the other?
Is this guy a croûton? (1)
I would have thought the rolled up news paper would have had an effect otherwise.


(1) croûton is a word used by people (maybe just me) who like the sound of Cretan but don't wish to insult the people of Crete.
Yes it is also a dried bread thing sometimes put in soup.

Must make American atheists really angry!
One of the things that sort of amuses me about creationists is how angry they become when being reminded they evolved from apes. I find the evolutionary process fascinating and take great pleasure in knowing how man came to be....not being made by a creator in his own ( human ) image and having to be eternally grateful as a result!

I agree, evolution is a subject that you can really just immerse your self in its natural wonder.
