If people want to knock religous thought, let them do that. Just don't try to mislead the whole world into believing that a microbe tripped on the sand, grew into a snail, which fell off a ledge and became a snake that became a monkey that metamorphed into a human being. That's just stupid!

I agree. Your post is stupid.

How does a microbe trip on sand? What are you tripping on? Do you even know what a microbe is?

The article didn't mention religion at all. It said "creationists", and the "creationists" have been saying all along that it isn't about religion. Are you finally admitting that they (and you, apparently) have been lying to us all this time?

That is stupid, which is why that's not what evolutionary biology actually says.

Who's responsible for your cartoon-level fantasies about biology? I'll bet it's a creationist pamphlet or website, because the Discovery Channel and so on aren't *that* bad at explaining the actual science.

Right. It is much more intelligent to say that man was created from sand.
