“Evolution much have been taking a long break from work when all these miraculous chemistry processes were going on.”
Miraculous? Sorry, magic is your side of the street, not evolution.
“To just leave behind dogs and cats and chickens, where they did not also "evolve" like minkeys.”
Huh? OOOOOH! You think ‘evolve’ means to ‘become tool using humans with opposable thumbs and mortgages.’
You’re horribly wrong.
“And why minkeys, couldn't evolution have just left minkeys alone? I mean, wasn't life better swinging from trees and eating bananas?”
Minkeys didn’t evolve into humans, idiot.
“Now we got to put up with traffic and Christmas shopping and bills and liberals and all kinds of annoying things.”
Like spelling, and knowing what the fuck you’re taking about…
“ Why minkeys?”
Nope. Not minkeys.
“Couldn't have bears evolved into big hairy Chewbaccas and subjugated the animal kingdom.”
I think i read that scifi series. But that’s not what happened.
What if is speculation. Evolutionary science is about what DID happen.
“I can't quite get how man could be so arrogant to think that he would be so special that evolution would single him out for higher intelligence, leaving behind alllllll other animals and mammals and reptiles and doggies and kitties and all that.”
That’s an important point. We’re not actually sure that intelligence is a survival trait. No one else seems to need fire, clothing stores, and atomic weapons.
“It makes no sense really.”
As several people have pointed out, comedy is MUCH harder to write than reality. Comedy has to make sense.
“Evolution makes no sense.”
Doesn’t really have to, since it’s not guided by an intelligence.
“The big picture of evolution cannot be reconciled with statistics, or science for that matter.”
You’re wrong, there.
“It is all quite murky and we are asked to simply take it all on faith.....”
No, you’re really not.
Every evolution textbook tells you the theory AND the facts that lead to that conclusion.
“because it takes a lot of faith to believe it all.”
Oh, that canard. How original….
“ And God help you if you disagree with the science community.”
Well, that depends on WHY you disagree. I mean, if you aren’t even able to spell ‘monkey’ right, your arguments aren’t going to be welcomed as compelling science.
“You have to stand back and let them refute their own theories, which they do regularly.”
How many theories can you name that were actually refuted?
Plenty have been improved with new evidence. Not too many have been proven completely wrong that I can think of…
