Tell me, when's the last time you saw a half man-half ape OR a half man-half fish?

Well, I HAVE seen (read or heard) some antievolutionists argue that Homo erectus can't be transitional because it's only an ape, while others have argued that it's not transitional because it's clearly human. (BTW, different editions of the SAME BOOK, namely Pandas and People, the one used in Dover, made BOTH arguments sequentially!!!) Likewise antievolutionists agree that Archaeopteryx isn't transitional between reptiles and birds, but with some claiming that it's a reptile while other claim its clearly a bird. The list goes on. Antievolutionist Duane Gish was so upset when an early whale, Basilosaurus isis, was found to have tiny but well developed rear limbs and feet, that he absurdly denied that it was even a mammal, let alone a whale.

[kimosabe31:] Darwinism has long ago been shown to be pure mythology. It's only supporters are the phoney profs that use it as a vehicle for dumbing down the naive student population and applying for federal grants, AND gullible followers.

[Ichneumon:] Do even *you* believe this goofy twaddle? For frick's sake, go to a LIBRARY or something and educate yourself before you try again. And thank you *so* much for giving lurkers more evidence for the common stereotype of conservatives as gradeschool dropouts...

[kimosabe31:] I have long suspected "knee-jerk" leftists, parlor pinks and islamofascist lapdog groupies of lurking on FreeRepublic so you can run and tattle to your handlers what those awful conservatives are talking about.

Paranoid much? I fail to see how it makes me a "lefist parlor pink and islamofascist etc. etc." when I correctly point out that you said something remarkably silly and ignorantly false about the field of evolutionary biology.

And speaking of remarkably silly and ignorantly false, if you had bothered to do something as simple and easy (and smart) as checking my posting history before you went off on a John Birch rant and accused me of trying to sap and impurify all of your precious bodily fluids and so forth, you'd have noticed that my long posting history on FreeRepublic is hardly the kind that anyone with a functioning brain could mistake for "leftist/pink/islamofascist/blahblahblah".

So in short, you're *still* behaving like a bizarre parody of the worst kind of negative conservative stereotype.

I stand by my original comments 100%. Your strange declarations about "Darwinism" are pure fantasy and transparently false.

There may even be a few of you out there lurking in the hope that some conservative good traits might "rub off" and thereby improve your character suchas common sense and the capability for rational/logical thought.

That's pretty funny coming from the guy who has problems distinguishing his conspiracy theories from reality.

In any case it doesn't seem to be working for you ichneumon.

You're right, your paranoid scenario isn't working for me at all. It's not working very well for you either.

Give it up.

No, I won't give up pointing out when people are behaving irrationally and spewing blatant falsehoods. Make more and I'll continue to call you on it.
