Congratulations!
You have been able to pack more ignorance and bad assumptions into one post
than I have ever seen.
Here's a tip: If you're going to try to refute something, at least try to
have a basic understanding of that subject.
If you base your arguments on the bullshit fed to you by religious people,
you'll just look like a silly twit arguing the bullshit fed to you by
religious people.
Evolution is true, beautiful, and interesting. Spend some time with the REAL
thing.
