Well if you all believe you came from apes then so be it. Thats not my belief and never will be. Just one question though. If we all came from apes then why are there still apes around? Wouldn't evolution have transformed the remaining apes into humans by now? So silly.
Its ok, there is historical precedence for this. A lot of people clung to the flat earth theory after being shown/taught overwhelming proof that it the Earth was not flat.
Its a radical change of "thought".
It's the 21st century. Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859. It's not radical, some people are just ignorant.
People who believe in ID think they know more than you. It's pointless to call people ignorant. Argue the data. The simple fact as I see it is that science supports the theory of evolution and fundies support ID. ID is not a science because it predicts nothing, is scientifically useless, and is not amenable to scientific review. It's for a quackpot minority who are playing games. Evolution is science approved. Nut cases disagree. Science is scientific consensus. ID is something about which only nut cases agree.
The questioning of evolution can take place only among scientists. Nut cases needn't apply.
Of course one can ask another question, why do some (not all) people believe science can answer all questions?
If science can't answer the question then the answer doesn't matter.
If religion can't answer the question then the answer doesn't matter. That's the converse.
Back not quite a century ago, it was determined that there are truths which cannot be proven. That doesn't make them less true, nor does it make others avert their eyes. I'll opt for a larger world.
You can say it is the converse but that doesn't make it true. Why don't you open up your holy book and tell me what the next set of powerball numbers are. There just proved your claim wrong or made a few million dollars.
