>If the third human on this planet didn’t come from two other ones..
THEN; you Must make up a bodacious Yarn to explain it..

Well, your use of the phrase “bodacious yarn” aside, you have a point. However, we have a very good explanation - humans arose from a common ancestor shared with the great apes, and through mutations and natural selections eventually speciated into the form we have now. Indeed, the evidence that this occurred is in your very genes at this moment.

As a minor note, “a diety made them out of dirt” is a bit more of a yarn.

Actually, this is not true. More truthfully it could be stated that "the evidence in your genes can be interpreted to support the theory I espoused".

You've made an assumption, looked at evidence through the lens of that assumption, and determined that the evidence supports the assumption through which you interpreted the evidence as supportive of the assumption through which you interpreted the evidence as supportive of the assumption through which you interpreted the evidence as supportive of the assumption through which you interpreted the evidence as supportive of the assumption.

Kind of weird isn't it? They're more offended by primates than dirt.

Why would that be such a startling "yarn" to you, Muridae? If God is about making a physical creation, why wouldn't He use the "physical materials" that He specially created for that purpose? I.e., "physical materials" here symbolized as "dirt," or "the dust of the ground?"

Even that very reduced and concrete term, "dirt," manifests from ideas of space, time, matter, and law — all divinely created.

The string yarn was not made up yet.. nor was Quantum ramblings about fantastic micro stuff..
The fact remains, people just love a good story..

Hell democrats think there is such a thing as a free lunch..
AND republicans think Romney is a conservative..
Rinos could buy either story they just want to be entertained..

Science fiction MUST seem logical (to humans) else whats the point..
Reality however need not be logical (to humans) at all, (nothing to prove)..
