re: #37 Charles

Meanwhile, Tas Walker, the Answers in Genesis moron who sends me email threatening me with hellfire, is all hot and bothered over the “missing link” announcement today. The creationist community is spinning for all they’re worth, trying to discredit this one. He sent me links to two completely insane articles at creationist websites about it…

Why can’t these people get it through their heads that nothing in evolutionary theory says we descended from monkeys? Why is it that they can’t wrap their brains that at some distant point in the past we had common ancestors with chimps (when we weren’t chimps *or* humans), with birds (when we weren’t humans or birds), &c. Right back to the formation of life on Earth.
