Have you hunted a dinosaur, lounge

What amazes me in America is that it's one of the most technologically and industrially advanced countries yet half its people believe in Creationism and Bible. Here is an example: humans have coexisted with dinosaurs because God made them at the same time.

The Taylor Trail:
A series of 14 sequential human footprints on the same platform with at least 134 dinosaur tracks.

progrider is going the way of the dinosaur

I am a member of the Cult of Darwin
Darwin observed that species adapt to changing environments
That is all the proof I need that apes turned into humans 200k years ago
Even though there is zero evidence of that
Even though apes still exist today
Even though humans are genetically closer to pigs than apes
Even in the face of that I believe correlations are more convincing than evidence
I will call you crazy if you say it is just another nonsensical creation myth
THE POWER OF EVOLUTION IS NO MYTH
Evolution created man out of ape
Look at this evidence of Piltdown man
Okay so Piltdown man was an elaborate hoax
Okay so there is zero evidence supporting my ridiculous fantasy
They should still be taught in school as fact

Not worth hunting, dino taste like shit.

How are you going to manufacture iPhones if you still believe the Earth is 6000 years old? See that's why Apple won't open a factory in America, you're too uneducated and backwards.

And the rice patty zergbots are so much smarter... or are they just cheaper?

This is because liberalism is incompatible with real education. As John Kerry said, Americans have the freedom to be stupid. You can't educate a spoiled egotistical brat who thinks his opinion is just as valid as his teacher's, even if it's wrong and ignorant. And all Americans are spoiled liberal brats.

apes turned into humans 200k years ago
Even though apes still exist today

For one, it's not ``apes" that humans developed from, but rather from some other primate common ancestor. And in any case, evolution doesn't replace the new with the old - at least not right away, and never guaranteed - it's just a branch off from the original, the original will only disappear if the new is so better than the old that the old is rendered obsolete. For example, jet planes were developed from propeller planes, but that doesn't mean propeller planes no longer exist - they will exist until they are no longer effective at filling their niche (or that niche ceases to exist).

Even in the face of that I believe correlations are more convincing than evidence

What ``alternative hypothesis" do you have evidence for?

They should still be taught in school as fact

Then what should be taught in school as regards how humans and animals came to be?

Then what should be taught in school as regards how humans and animals came to be?

Magic obviously

Historic knowledge (knowledge of the past)(or in this case belief) has no restraining effect on technical skill. The Bible and creationism are all abou what's happened in the past (or believed to have happened in the past).

evolve those dubs!

>>8
So because we cannot explain how humans came to be, we should subscribe to a ridiculous creation myth that we formed from apes? Oh sorry, I mean we came from "other primate common ancestor"? Since there is no evidence of this (other than elaborate hoaxes like Piltdown Man) why should we believe it?

>>10
Of course it does. Through memory is how progress is made. Og sharpens a rock into a knife and the knowledge is passed through memory until ook adds a wooden handle to the sharp rock and improves upon og's invention.

>>13
What I mean is that ook doesn't need to know the history of the sharp rock's invention in order to learn how to use it and improve upon it. Ook only needs to be presented with the sharp rock and pointed to its specific properties. Ook doesn't even need to know og's name.

>>12
Well do you have a better explanation for why humans, apes, gorillas, monkeys, orangutans etc all have the same general form?

>>15
design patterns

It's not about "knowledge" (which Biblical creation story is anything but), it's about worldview and its effect on human thought and social climate wrt science. In Medieval Christian times, people were all too happily executed and ostracized for independent and scientific thought. A society that equates physics or biology with Devil-worship is not going to be very advanced technologically. On the contrary, atheists have been proven to be more intelligent and critically-thinking than religious people.

idiculous creation myth that we formed from apes

Uh, it's not a myth? There's this thing called archeological evidence and science. And why doesn't the Bible tell us about the various humanlikes that existed, like neanderthals, cromagnons, australopitheques, Denisov men etc? Maybe God didn't know about them because He took a nap and missed them

>>15
Are you really that brain washed? The "explanation" offered by the "theory" of evolution is pure conjecture. Why are humans more genetically related to pigs than apes? Why do pigs and cats have the "same general form"? Did *some* pigs turn into cats 200k years ago?

>>18
Show me any evidence (excluding the elaborate hoaxes like Piltdown man) that show evidence that humans and apes "share a common ancestor". it is a ridiculous assumption, just as mythological as any other creation myth.

Here's a good explanation of why the pig comparison isn't terribly meaningful.

>>20
Wow, this is the proof we have been looking for! This PROVES that monkeys turned into humans for no reason long ago. Also, all life comes from a single cell that appeared by magic in a soup. Of course, everything appeared by magic one day so it is no surprise.

>>21
So where do you think life came from then?

Is Deviljho a dinosaur?

>>22
That very question is answered by the post you are asking that question of.
