More information about one of my favorite evidences for evolution.

We share an ancestor with chimpanzee apes. There is more evidence for this basic scientific fact than any other fact of science. And that evidence is more powerful than Darwin could have imagined possible. My favorite example of how powerful scientific evidence can be are the predictions made about human chromosome two, which also has the advantage of being easy to understand. I have a large collection of explanations for human chromosome two at Human chromosome 2 and chimpanzee chromosomes 2p & 2q which I consider to be the most important post on this blog.

More posts worth reading about human chromosome two can be found at Carl Zimmer's The Mystery of the Missing Chromosome and at PZ's Creationist FUD refuted.

Human Chromosome Two became famous thanks to the Dover Trial in 2005 when Christian assholes wasted one million dollars of taxpayer money in their unsuccessful attack against science education in Dover, Pennsylvania. The evolution denying retards didn't have anything to say about human chromosome two after scientists explained the predictions at the trial, predictions that turned out to be spectacularly correct in extreme detail.

Of course after the trial professional liars for the Magic Jeebus Man invented some dishonest bullshit about chromosome two for their gullible Christian customers, bullshit which has repeatedly been shown to be bullshit.

Why the constant lying about evolution and the irrational fear of evolution?

The dishonesty is easy to explain. Christians are assholes.

Evolution terrifies Christians for a good reason. Their god-did-it fantasies have repeatedly been shown to be bullshit and they know it. Of course Christian assholes could grow up, accept 21st century science, and throw out their death cult. But that means no magical heaven, and cowardly Christian scum would become mentally disturbed without their childish paradise after death fantasy.

Oh wait, Christians are already batshit crazy. Perhaps they should try to accept reality. They couldn't become more insane than they already are.

Another example of undeniable evidence for the evolutionary relationship of the Great Ape species (including human apes) is at Endogenous Retroviruses make Jeebus cry.

Of course professional Christian assholes are dishonest about ERV's.

"If there's a paper in one of the big journals that discusses more evidence for evolution, there is a creationist hack somewhere who'll quickly write it up and lie about it."
