You and Thatcherite seem to enjoy calling people who don't agree with you "ignorant." Apparently you feel very very strongly that your ancestors were chimps. I certainly have no objection to your believing that.

Actually I believe that chimps and I (and you) share a geologically recent common ancestor, not that we are descended from chimps. Do you know the first thing about evolutionary theory?

B: I've called people ignorant when they attempt to pass off as facts, things which are known not to be true. If you wish to believe God *spoke* human beings into existence, that is your deal. When you try to claim that this belief is scientifically supported, then I will debunk those claims. Its pretty simple. And by the way if you really are Jewish, and I doubt it, because no self-respecting Jew would put down the AJC, regardless of politics. Second the Jews have long understood the Torah is not always to be intepreted literally. For example, do you actually think, "eye for eye, tooth for tooth".. etc. was how the Jews of yore practiced Justice?

Do yourself and other Jews a favor, don't talk about your religion and history until you can demonstrate you know something about it. THe last group of Jews to interpret the Torah literally were the Karaites. And we all know what happened to them. They went nowhere.
