Where did you get that idea?

The poster did say, "anything is possible" you know like the new sign: Just "Believe"

Seems this saying is the new Peace Sign!

Finally someone rescued Christians from themselves!

Heros these two are!

I found it funny that the 1/3 of Americans that do not believe in evolution matches almost perfectly with the percentage that is conservative republican. They seem completely immune to fact, but more than willing to fabricate all sorts of elaborate (and fact free) explanations for reality. That explains a lot, really.

If we evolved, then we are now going backwards. I guess it would be de-evolving. We sure are a dumber species than 50 yes ago.

Dawkins' "The God Delusion" decimated the intelligent design hypothesis years ago and left dust in its wake.

Is there a reason it shouldn't have?

In a final sense, what's so fantastic about our species? Does the universe owe us some kind of ego boost?

Ken Miller (who was called on as an expert biologist in the Kitzmiller v Dover trial) totally decimated the ID claims and the deceitful tactics used by Creationists to try to get Creationism/ID taught in science classes.

It's like looking at an amazing piece painting and believe that cans of paint must has just randomly fallen and spilled.

No, it's not. Do cans of paint adapt to their environment?

Evolution doesn't work at all.

Evolution is a myth.

Care to explain? Micro and macro evolution have been observed in nature.
