Hey, my family, too. What a coincidence! I guess some people just weren't as fortunate.

An evilutionist was talking with God one day.

God told the evilutionist that He created human life from the dust of the earth.

The evilutionist said that scientists could create life from the dust of the earth too and reached down to grap a handful of dirt.

God said, "Oh no, first make your own dirt."

So why do humans have a backbone that connects to the skull like that of a bear instead of a chip?

Here's scientific proof that man evolved from dogs.

OK - I'm waiting patiently for someone to post the picture of that hideous, old, fat woman we see every time a topic like this comes up.....

I just can't bring myself to do it - but I always chuckle when it happens.

So did he name the monkey "monkey," "mono," "singe," "obezyana," or perhaps something in Hebrew?

I think he named the monkey "evolutionist", but I'm not really sure...

...In any case, the skull provided a puzzling combination of human and chimp traits ...

I have an idea. Why don't we just call this thing the Piltdown man?

My ancestors were fully evolved when they got here. I did have a cousin who was a salamander.

Millions of branchs but that is on the home planet. Here we are part of a resettlement consisting of many families spread throughout this planet.
