    PZ provides concise, cogent answers to two ignorant quest6ions, simple as that. Stuff that xtian insanity in your superstitious pipe and smoke it.

    The ignorant questions PZ answers prove human societal evolution has made NO progress. (to repeat my comment on spider evolution) We humans are basically still the violent, superstitious bipeds we were a few thousand years ago. And, yes, I personally admit my limitations and battle to exceed this stagnation of mental and emotional development by trying to be rational and use critical analytical thinking to learn instead of relying on superstition and guesswork and propaganda from a murderous, self-contradictory work of fiction.

    The reason scientists are accused of pulling ideas out of their asses and foisting them on the world is the christerrs have no idea there are more sophisticated routes to knowledge than just that. It’s all they know.

    Mathew Mark Luke and John fit the description of “some guy” better than Darwin. At least we know Darwin’s full name.

    The books of Teh Bible, which were written by numerous guys and possibly a few women, are filled with scientific errors, historic errors, logical errors, moral errors and contradictions.

    The books of Darwin are backed up by numerous lines of evidence, some laid out in his books, others discovered since that time, but all pointing to the same reality for observed phenomena.

    “Why is it that all questions about atheism and evolution by the True Believers rest on false premises?”

    Because if they admitted to the truth they’d have to face the fact that every one of their beliefs are ridiculous and wrong.

    The fundamental error they make is to pretend that the various authors of the Bible were trying to provide scientific knowledge. It makes as much sense as to claim that James Joyces Ulysses or King Lear provides infallible knowledge about evolution or the speed of light.

    There is much to disagree with in the Bible, but it’s pointless to criticize it for its lack of scientific veracity.
