Take a sausage. If you cut it in two, you can do different things with the two half sausages. You can boil one half and eat it in bread with ketchup, and you can grill the other half and have it with some lovely vegetables and potato salad. You don’t have to do the same thing with them. In the case of our ancestral apes, they all evolved – just into different things. Some became humans, other became monkeys.
This separation is incomparable with the dirt-creation, in case you wonder.

Yes. We’re the brainwashed people with universal health care. You know those thousands of dollars in medical expenses you all have? I thought so.
It must be so hard for you that the vast majority of the world’s Muslim population picked us over you. So hard.

Most of the problems of the world are, and always have been, cause by religion. Mankind will never truly be free until the black yoke of religion is lifted by the light of truth and logic.

I recently watched Ben Stien’s fairly biased documentary on intelligent design (“Expelled”), which examined the discreditation of scientists who consider exploring the concept. However, I enjoyed watching the dogmatic “Darwinists” scramble to address the question of origin. Evolution is certainly an ecological/biological function. There is observable evidence of this at the finest resolution of observation (DNA). However, evolution does not necessarily address ORGIN.

As a realist, I expect openness to inquiry within any discipline I study. Prime example: quantum physics (look up on goggle video – double slit test). That’s right; biology is not the only field with unexplained phenomenon or circumstances of a fundamental nature. And keep in mind that organisms exist in an environment shaped by quantum physics…

In any pursuit for truth (scientific or religious) we should be sure to examine and disclose our biases. For some proponents of intelligent design, religion is a bias, but this is not the case for all. And for some scientists whoring out to corporations is a bias (results tend to favour profits).

On the topic of culture and human wellbeing, there are arguments on both sides. In the end though, the verdict is still out on the origin of life (note that I don’t say species here). It will continue to be a matter of faith for both creationists and scientists.
