Why do you suppose that none of any group of ancient people in the world ever talked about their ape ancestors? The history of every group of people is passed along to its descendants by the written or spoken word of their ancestors. So why has no group of people ever talked about their ancestors clubbing each other or not being able to utter any words, or being completely covered in hair, or what they did for a living, etc.? It's funny how that is absent. But the Jews, the Egyptians, the Chinese, etc. can all talk about their ancestors of ancient times. That's why we have their history. But their ape ancestors are never mentioned by them. Why do you think that is?

Because it was a very long time ago?
"So why has no group of people ever talked about their ancestors clubbing each other or not being able to utter any words . . ."
Um. It took a little while, for, you know, writing to be invented, and therefore recording of historical events.

Notice the fundie's complete inability to put two and two together.
Zipperback, good point. Someone with an account on CARM should go over and point it out to Carico.

Why don't the Chinese, Navajo, etc, etc, etc, talk about their descent from Adam & Eve?
Libkitten: While, I understand your point, we didn't go from Neanderthal to Modern Man at all, they were an instance of parallel evolution and we coexisted for a while before they died off. At least, that's what the scientific consensus was a few years ago, I'm not sure now...

Carico, if not a troll, has got to be one of the most simpleminded of people; this is the kind of argument one would expect from a small child. The fact that Carico's posts are grammatically pretty good just makes for a more amazingly stark contrast with the apalling ignorance and stupidity of their content.
I know Carico well enough to know that she isn't a troll, or else she is the best and most eleborate troll I have ever seen. I am thinking that Carico has some kind of mental illness, one that doesn't impede her knowledge of English. Most of all, I suspect she is just a hardcore flaming fundie.
Perhaps because it took so long that the stories were forgotten, and the changes were so slow that no one noticed to write stories, anyhow.
"But the Jews, the Egyptians, the Chinese, etc. can all talk about their ancestors of ancient times."
ApostateAbe is right. She's not a troll. In fact, I believe she lives just across the river from where I live. Most of the folks around here are pretty fundy, but thankfully not like this one. She's (hopefully) one of a kind.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
