I have spent many years playing with a satire on evolution, so this is really my thing, and if I can get it over from 3.0 word to my 95 word without the seeming problems, a paragraph here and there would probably amuse you. Three enormous points to ponder. All man according to evolution began in the jungles of Africa wherein the gorilla/ape did dwell. On this we all agree. How is it that there is no trace of civilization developing around the first nearly human gorillas, and begins only after the flood, first smidge of recorded history being 4005 bc, close, very close to flood cleanup time, and that is 1000's of miles away. Did the gorillas build boats and sail up to the desert areas? Did the gorillas slowly march northward as they slowly started becoming human beings? And why does the first signs of recorded history show the no-longer monkeys flying around the desert in elaborate chariots? As in Sumeria? Amazing. Second. Patterns on bugs I'm a bug person. All bugs and butterflies have drawn designs, many of the geometric. How they selected to control the geometric design of their evolving molecules is amazing. There is a bug I found in Mexico which is brown, with a perfect white diamond on his back, and the whole shell had a yellowish border of dots, I think. Look at the wings of moths and butterflies. Look at American Indian art and other primitive art.......WHAT? IT'S THE SAME!!!!!!! And the two sexes. Provided the salamander did crawl out of the sea, become the bird and the elephant, not to mention the comical absurdity of the plataypus, or the divine sweetness and beauty of the artistically painted panda bear, which does not blend into anything, but sticks out like a.....panda bear..... Where did the salamander which layed eggs decided it would be best to branch of into two completely different reproductive internal and external organs, and somehow then end up with two sexes of each mammal from something we agree had to crawl from the sea. If, and I say this in all love, with extreme seriousness, if your brain can absorb and excuse that away, your imagination and denial capabilities are far greater than mine. And mine are highly developed, you know what I mean? I would appreciate your comments, because maybe there is an explanation that somehow has some basis in the known and unknown laws and principals of genetics and biological development. People laugh at creationists, but the alternative is an absolute howl. I find it sillier than Mike Myers, frankly, and laugh at the evolutionary discussions. Seriously, I'll crack you up very soon when I pull some of my quotes out of the thing I work on. Especially from a guy named Crick, who won a Nobel Prize in molecular something. I read it to one of my best friends who was for awhile an aethiest, and a PhD permanently, and he literally threw back his head and laughed out loud. He has since started going to church and is quite content trundling into the Nazarene church with his wife. He now says, "Yeah. I like it." But when I read him my stuff, he was on the other side, and still admitted it was pretty hard to swallow, some of it.
