the author of your piece wasn't there at the invention of fire, language, farming or anything like that.

This is one of the silliest arguments we see on these threads.

Let's try an analogy. Is there anything you believe in which you have not seen? Crucifiction? Resurrection?

Most likely you believe in a great many things which you did not actually witness. Electrons? The outer planets? The back side of the moon?

So let's forget this CS/ID red herring and just discuss these matters on more substantial grounds, eh?

The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally kill themselves in really stupid ways. Of necessity, this honor is generally bestowed posthumously.
