You do realize...That quoting wikipedia is like quoting a coloring book? Anybody can edit it. I could roll over to wikipedia right now, erase that page, and render your post wholly without substance. Thank YOU for playing.

This game had a chance a decade ago, not any more. The reason? Reference footnotes. Wiki articles are filled with them, and claims are usually linked to reputed science publications.

So... thank you for playing!

I can tell you this, bud, NO ONE RESPECTS WIKIPEDIA, nor does it deserve any respect. It is merely a place to start, sort of like a hornbook.

Wikipedia is a good tool for many different subjects but not very reliable for politics or science subjects that relate to political propaganda. Darwinism is a political propoganda tool that is used to stamp out religion in society. Its a theory that cannot be proven unless you have a time machine or unless you find the millions of missing link bones buried out there. Where are all those bones? Did the monkey gene just all of a sudden switch to the homo sapien gene? Darwinism on Steroids maybe? I thought Darwinism was a cellular mutation process created by natural selection over long periods of time? How long does it take to go from a flat head to a round head? How long does it take to go from a hairy tree climbing ape to a Victoria Secret Supermodel? How come that caveman guy in the GEICO commercial can speak English, drive a car and bowl a 170? These are questions that cannot be answered by Darwin or by Science or especially by Wikipedia.
