And much more than you think there is.

Here's an interesting fact for you JW. Detailed brain studies of humans (and their skulls) from the past few tens of thousands of years show that the human brain is getting smaller.
That's right - assuming that the brain's size is some measure of our intellect - it seems that over time we're all getting dumber. How can that be you ask? (Well checking out t ...[text shortened]... turally created by their bonobo god or evolved from the rest of life on earth.

"But who knows?"

Exactly what I'm saying. Evolution=who knows?

By the time you all finish learning all that evolution has to teach, you still won't know anything. 😉

Well, on the one hand I've got the evidence, the model making, the predictions, the rationality and logic of a scientific explanation.
On the other hand I've got a book, full of contradictions and horrendous moral guidelines that it's supporters claim was written by a magical bearded fairy in the sky.
Hmmmm.
I wonder which one makes more sense ....?

Some examples for you ...

The two contradictory creation stories in Genesis for starters.

Who is the Joseph's father?
Matthew 1:16 'And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.'
Luke 3:23 'And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.'

Who was at Jesus's tomb?
Matthew 28:1 'In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.'
Mark 16:1 'And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.'
John 20:1 'The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.'

Shall I go on?
