Today I saw a big Florida cockroach upside down in my living room. The creature was desperately trying to get back on its feet. If this was outside I would have gently flipped it over. I'm not so nice to cockroaches in my home. I picked it up and squeezed it. Then it was very dead. I gave it a proper Christian funeral. It's now decomposing in my garbage can.
I share an ancestor with the creature I murdered.
I used http://timetree.org/ to find out how long ago was the common ancestor of human apes and cockroaches.
Estimated Time: 797 million years ago.
A creationist fucktard will now say scientists think people evolved from cockroaches. That makes no sense. After 797 million years ago our ancestors were on different branches of the tree of life.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
