I just wish I had Brian Thomas, M.S.’s job: get up every day, look for science articles about evolution, misunderstand them (intentionally or not), and repackage my misunderstanding for credulous readers. And it seems to be recession-proof!

Case in point: he writes that “despite museum depictions of the extinct ape Australopithecus having fully human feet, fossils show that they had typical ape feet.” But the article he links to in his footnote clearly says the Australopithecus foot may have been flat (no arch), like an ape, but its big toe lined up with the other toes, like modern humans. Is Thomas misunderstanding or misrepresenting?

Really, the article is actually quite a bit better than most of the crazy stuff posted at that and similar sites. Look for people to quote the respected scientist, Dr. Russell Humphreys, who believes that God created the universe as a big ball of water several light years across. The earth formed at the very center of this ball of water because, as we all know, the Bible says that the earth is at the center of the universe.
