We don't need the missing link to show that we've evolved
from common ancestors.
Modern biology has provided us with the tools to show patterns
of divergence in the very proteins that form us.
We can see how proteins have mutated by a single amino acid
at a time to take on new functions and define new species.
This evidence is undeniable or a conspiracy by God himself.

So I gather you would be like one of those people who refused to even look through galilleo's telescope for fear of actually being forced to change his outlook on life?
Next you'll be telling me Columbus faced opposition from people who thought the Earth was flat.

I'm aware of that. Perhaps your planet-sized brain can determine the fact behind my remark. Not that it's important, mind you!
Unless you meant aardvarkhome was South African -- considering he has the Welsh flag set in his profile, I'd guess that was factually incorrect as well.
Then again, you could simply be trying to paint all Fundamentalist Christians as apartheid-supporting racists.

Aardvarkhome said, "Try googling the Bishop of Southwark".
I did just that, and responded (perhaps cryptically) with that comment, intended for aardvarkhome (who may or may not have got it, depending on how much he knows of the story). My remark is indeed based on fact, although you'll have to figure out what it is for yourself. (Tip: try googling for the Bishop of Southwark).
I like the nasty spin you managed to put on my post despite not knowing what I'm on about at all!
Originally posted by Thequ1ckThe more flexible religions are able to deal with evolution in their own way. It's only the truly bone-headed who feel so threatened by evolution that they respond with hilarious aggression.
The interesting thing is that science doesn't say that it
isn't. It's just a theory, like everything else in science.
It's only religion that tells us things are absolute.

It appears as the third link in Google.
That said, I misunderstood you; so I apologise.

You said this on page 4:
"By some curious paradox, some of the most unapologetic, unreconstructed racists I've met are also of intransigently fundamentalist persuasion."

Everything in science is a theory?
Unless I am taking this post too literally, you should go back and slap your science teacher.
