An evolution on evolution? It's "nuanced."
  • bad news

    I've got some bad news for Huckabee: While humans didn't "come" from monkeys-- we had the same evolutionary ancestors. In fact, we are apes. We are also mammals. I know that's a tough concept to wrap your brain around, but humans are (gasp!) animals. Advanced animals, perhaps (and that could be a good debate, all things considered), but animals nonetheless. I remember attending a conference in Washington D.C. where Carl Sagan was talking about all this; he's the first scientist who really opened my eyes to this concept.

    Sooooo, if God created us in His own image, would that make God an animal?? Or, did humans finally create God in their own image, having tired of Sun Gods, Moon Gods, and such? Why not create a religion that gives the whole planet to US???

    These conversations are fun, aren't they?
