Typical.

Seems evolution discussion has hit baseball boards also with some alcoholic gambler who calls himself "The Doc" an ET believer, "ktjc" who considers the Bible's book Revelation, "Revelations" and some even more dire characters that actually believe they've got a handle on the Bible, and evolution is a fact.

Hopefully this link will take you there. If not I must be the missing link. http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ml-mlb&tid=65659

Practices ranging from bondage to group sex, transvestism and the use of sex toys were widespread in primitive societies as a way of building up cultural ties.

Proof?  Where's the proof?

Humans, by contrast, are far less easy to distinguish by size. Taylor says that prominent male genitals and female breasts developed to aid recognition of the opposite sex in creatures of similar size and shape. The similarity in size, combined with the ease of face-to-face sex, allowed intercourse to become a vital part of social interaction, communication and inventiveness.

HMmmm.... I don't know....

Kinda hard to tell...

I suppose these geniuses found some video tapes in deep dark, recently discovered caves, exposing the sex lives of these stone age swingers.

So it wasn’t an ice age that wiped out the dinosaurs, but their participation in the kinky sex lives of the lizzardality practicing humanoids of those days?

It grows more and more difficult these days to separate science from fiction.

"Practices ranging from bondage to group sex, transvestism and the use of sex toys were widespread in primitive societies as a way of building up cultural ties."

DD up, DD down.

And they try to call this science...

According to the study, a 30,000-year-old statue of a naked woman -- the Venus of Willendorf -- and an equally ancient stone phallus found in a German cave, provide the earliest direct evidence that sex was about far more than babies.

Oh hogwash. I don't doubt that ancient humans had sex for fun, but the claims that these statues/carvings prove that is just balogna. These statues are more likely to be 'fertility gods' or something.

And the article certainly mentions not one shred of proof that these ancient people practiced transexuality, homosexuality or group sex.

And people wonder why Americans have so little faith in scientific theories such as evolution.

OK...let's see if common sense will help here...

Caveman day....
Get up before sunrise; eat leftover raw stuff; take dump after "meal"; grab hunting implements; go for a quick 15 mile "tracking" run over sticks, stones, gravel, cactus, pine cones, sharp rocks, up and down hills....eating bugs and berries along the way.
Only to "corner" a very upset sabre tooth tiger fully intent on having YOU for his meal. You throw, chop at, hack at, shoot at, or otherwise cause your hunting implement to violently move in the direction of said tiger.
Said tiger is hit and dies, but not until he has removed, in a most gruesome manner, three of the hunting party.
Now...you have a liesurely walk back (15 miles- remember)to your cave after having shared in the consumption of the brain, heart, and liver of said (and now deceased) tiger. You were elected by the remaining members of the hunting party to wear the skin of said deceased tiger while on the trip back while they carried the carcass for later butchering (such as it was).
Arriving home about nitfall, you ate some of the kill, drank some water from a nearby stream/pool/lake/river/swamp, went into the cave and promptly dropped over from sheer exhaustion!
Then...you feel "her" tugging at you, her being ready for some "fun" sex.
You...knowing that when you wake up before the sunrise that you will repeat today's activities, roll quietly over to her and in your best bedroom voice say, "SEX!!! I DON'T THINK SO!"

I sure hope this wasn’t a government sponsored study.
