More to Piss Off Creationist Morons

Quote:ScienceDaily (July 11, 2011) — Genetic instructions for developing limbs and digits were present in primitive fish millions of years before their descendants first crawled on to land, researchers have discovered.
Genetic switches control the timing and location of gene activity. When a particular switch taken from fish DNA is placed into mouse embryos, the segment can activate genes in the developing limb region of embryos, University of Chicago researchers report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The successful swap suggests that the recipe for limb development is conserved in species separated by 400 million years of evolution.
"The genetic switches that drive the expression of genes in the digits of mice are not only present in fish, but the fish sequence can actually activate the expression in mice," said Igor Schneider, PhD, postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago and lead author on the paper. "This tells us how the antecedents of the limb go back in time at every level, from fossils to genes."
The genetic hunt was inspired by a famous fossil find -- the 2004 discovery of the transitional fossil Tiktaalik in the Canadian Arctic by a team led by Neil Shubin of the University of Chicago. A transitional species between fish and the four-legged tetrapods, Tiktaalik possessed fins containing a skeletal structure similar to the limbs of later land-dwelling animals.
How about that shit? There's one of those transitional species that they are always claiming don't exist!
Will wonders never cease.

I really think transition specie between humans and creationists don't exist. Creationists are really made of dirt and do not share a biological orgin with humans.

The sad truth with creationists is that no matter how much evidence you provide them to disprove their viewpoint, is that they are blind to evidence. You can show them proof, and then one of them that is intelligent will create an argument to avoid accepting actual evidence. Whales still to this day have bone structures that suggest that they once had back limbs at the very least, and they continually ignore this sort of evidence. It seems to me that this sort of "faith" (which I'd really call blind obedience) requires a special sort of individual. Reality doesn't apply to them because it does not line up with their beliefs.

Fingers crossed, creationists are in transition to oblivion.

Never attribute to sheer stupidity what can be accounted by Christianity.

Don't be insulting! Cunt hairs at least serve a proper function! 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

True,perhaps use 'as useful as a cunt full of cold water"?  (that's an Aussie insult)

What is that function-getting caught in the back of one's throat?

All the way in the throat Ep? FFS I hope you take a snorkel with you if you're diving that deep.
