Since many people like to change the words in the bible, let's change Darwin's theory too. Afterall, anyone's interpretation of his words are as correct as anyone's interpretation of the bible.
So Darwin claimed that humans didn't evolve from apes or primates, but instead, from the a three-toed sloth that just...mutated into a human. Afterall, mutations happen all the time so of course this is the way it happened. We have fossils of three--toed sloths that existsed millions of years ago so that is proof that they turned into humans.
We also have other fossils that once used to be a three-toed sloth, but they died out because they weren't fit enough so they thankfully happened to breed a superior three-toed sloth. Whew! That mutation was a lucky break. But wait...the environment must have been colder then let's say around an avergage of 20 degrees all year around, no let's make it 30. Yeah, that's a nice round number because it was much closer to the ice age so it fits right in.
So the above is true because it's my "interpretation" of Darwin's words and they're just as right as anyone else's.

No, you're deliberately rewriting Darwin, which is no more valid than rewriting the Bible. You can interpret Darwin however you like. But you'll be a majority of one if you do.

Ah, a day without a post quote from Carico is like a day without sunshine.
You may interpret it any way you wish. But unlike the Bible, evolution is science. Any changes have to be proven. You know, data, evidence, reason, peer review.
Carico, you don't even have a good enough grasp of what Darwin said to make an amusing parody of it. Why don't you find a kind, smart person to read one of Darwin's books to you and explain some of it for you? Maybe this kind, smart person could help you with the Bible, too.
Okay, Carico...I assume, then, that you're reading the Bible in the original Hebrew, untranslated, abridged, or edited? And not just the stuff in the modern Bible, but all the books that have been cut out or banned as heretical over the centuries?Then shut the fuck up.

Carico, we're sorry if the language in Darwin's book is beyond you. But most people can understand it as it is written in a straigh forward manner. The Bible is a riddle wrapped in an engima, all smothered in a savory sauce consisting of one part allegory and three parts, pure, unfiltered bullshit.

Exactly.
Furthermore, "I'm entitled to my opinion" does not hold up in a debate. That's like saying "Because." When somebody asks "Why?"
There's a vast difference between interpreting different meanings from the Bible because of its ambiguous style and outright contradictions on the one hand and, on the other hand, when criticizing Darwin, completely making stuff up.
There is a difference between "interpreting" something and blatantly changing it without reason. The Bible is frequently reinterpreted by Christians, so why can't non-Christians? And Darwin provided proof and evidence, which the Bible does not. You can't simply change things you don't like.
You'd have to know Darwin's theory, and understand it before you could ever hope to entertain thoughts of mocking it.
Confused?
