    Recently, a thought captivated my mind that proves that the theory of evolution is a big hoax. The thought is simple and yet profound ... why is there no recorded history before approximately 4,000 B.C.? The answer is obvious ... there was no history! Think about it! Evolutionists claim that man evolved over billions of years (that's billions with a "B"). If there were any truth to these false claims by unscrupulous scientists, then man's historical record should span back at least hundreds-of-thousands of years, if not millions.

    So there, all these unscrupulous scientists are making it up! Nothing happened pre 4000BC because there was no pre 4000BC. Okay?

    We all know that USian bible belt arseholes cannot think in terms of facts or science, for they do not like what these 'Facts' say. So the world was created 4000BC. I think the fact that the mitochondrial dna mutation rate (Proven beyond all doubt) shows that it is impossible. They cry about missing links, but it is precisely these missing links that prove evolution. Imagine a 2 metre high pile of sand. It consists of only red sand. You remove one random grain of red sand and replace it with a grain of yellow sand. Is the pile now yellow? No, of course not. So you repeat the exchange with another grain. Can you see the difference? No? No! Repeat ad nauseum...at what point do you notice the change? Have gaps, say every 10,000 grains, and look then, you would start to see the changes, gradually, but they would be there. Religionists are fools, and worse, they are not only fools to themselves, but they wish to spread their foolishness amongst those around them by use of lies, force and law. They should be fought and defeated at each and every juncture.

          A lot of the religious zealots are not just fools but wuck fit numpties. But I don't agree that by being religious it makes someone a fool. But then again the atheists do have such an eminent fool in Dawkins that we shouldn't just assume that it is religion that makes them stupid. If we just say that zealotry seems to make a fool of the best minds, I think everyone can agree.

                    And when someone rational gives an honest answer and says, "I don't know", you'll just consider it another triumphant success for the "logical" argument for an intelligent creator. What is silly about this is that a truly logical mind will say, "Let's go and figure out the origins of the red and yellow sand as best we can. Let's test these theories and use test results to discover the answer." The religionist will say, "To hell with research. We KNOW the answer. We don't have to PROVE the answer or TEST the answer, we just know. Again... To hell with science."

                    I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                        1. You use Wikipedia as your source? There is your first mistake. Go back and read it. It says "about 4000 BC". 2. You are missing the point. Let's assume your 8000 BC is correct, doesn't it seem odd that if man has been on the earth for billions of years there would be some recorded history older than even 8000 years? By you finding something that claims 8000 BC you are still supporting David's point.

                          But think about it. Adam and Eve being the first human beings, they add to make children together. Then, their children had to make other children together. And so on. That much inbreeding may explain why the human kind is so dumb.

                                  1. You use Wikipedia as your source? There is your first mistake. Go back and read it. It says "about 4000 BC". 2. You are missing the point. Let's assume your 8000 BC is correct, doesn't it seem odd that if man has been on the earth for billions of years there would be some recorded history older than even 8000 years? By you finding something that claims 8000 BC you are still supporting David's point.

                                  Nonsense - there is no wide spread belive system of any sort that claims that.

                                    And that is the nub of the problem. Anyone who makes assumptions is a fool. Would you believe anything I told you just because I told you? Assume nothing, believe only what you can prove. In law an assumption of guilt is not enough, it has to be proved, or would you like to go to jail on the evidence of an accusation?

                                      er...man has been around for at most 200,000 years, and to be honest Homo sapiens sapiens for only about 50,000 years. Prior to that our ancestors were other homonids that hadn't quite got to the sapiens. And as for evidence then there is plenty of pre 8000bc human traces, like at Chauvet and Lascaux, these are 35,000 years old, so could be considered the original "Old Masters" :)

                                        I didn't vandalise the page. Changing Wikipedea 'for a laugh' is not exactly clever, is it?

                                          The wee OR had vandalised the page. It was orignially 8000bc as per the cited source, but numpty felt changing it was 'funny'.
