And they run from this guy like the scared-assed apes from which they think they descended. Hahahahaha

In order to be motivated to "run" from anyone (even though that's hardly my style), I would first have to have ever heard of him before, or consider his works relevant to anything of note. But having perused your link, I still don't think he's worthy of even much passing attention, much less "running from", so it appears that your assessment is mistaken, as usual.

As for being like those from whom we descended, you remind me of a relevant quote:

"For my own part I would as soon be descended from that heroic little monkey, who braved his dreaded enemy in order to save the life of his keeper; or from that old baboon, who, descending from the mountains, carried away in triumph his young comrade from a crowd of astonished dogs -- as from a savage who delights to torture his enemies, offers up bloody sacrifices, practices infanticide without remorse, treats his wives like slaves, knows no decency, and is haunted by the grossest superstitions."

-- Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, 2nd ed., London: John Murray, 1901, p. 946.

Apes in general are more inspiring relatives than many so-called humans. So I wouldn't get too smug if I were you.

And just *how* long did you date Jane Goodall ? (grin)

Full Disclosure: "He was the first ape who ever touched me" is an-out-of context quote of hers which can provide hours of amusement, if you're ever in the mood. :-)

82.3% of all generalizations are false.

Ichneumon:"... I ... don't think he's worthy of even much passing attention, much less "running from", so it appears that your assessment is mistaken, as usual."

"Indeed, the perversity of the impious, who though they struggle furiously are unable to extricate themselves from the fear of God, is abundant testimony that his conviction, namely, that there is some God, is naturally inborn in all, and is fixed deep within, as it were in the very marrow. . . . From this we conclude that it is not a doctrine that must first be learned in school, but one of which each of us is master from his mother's womb and which nature itself permits no man to forget."

Proving nothing other than the fact that arrogant, self-righteous, moral relativists pretend that there is no way the Creator / Sustainer God could possibly exist since the evidence shows that he doesn't come up to their standards of goodness. [Romans 1:25]

You can run - but you can't hide.
