It's amazing how an anti-evo can insult you in one post, then in the next complain about being told their knowledge of history is at grade school level. Such sensitive folks. Threatening to call the mods because their educational understanding was being called into question.
This thread is getting too far off topic, so here is a little ammunition (this is one of my favorites, a really cute little guy):
