"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

Small gullible brainwashed children have a good excuse for their supernatural fantasies. That excuse is no longer valid after they grow up.
Christians are mentally disturbed gullible morons.

Agnostics are no better than terrorists and Bible thumpers.

comment #50: "If the topic comes up, I either say agnostic or atheist depending on who is doing the asking."
Agnostics are full-of-shit wishy-washy idiots. They are part of the religious insanity problem and they should be ashamed of themselves.
They are not agnostic about the Easter Bunny, therefore they are saying a magic god fairy is more likely to be true. They are refusing to completely rule out the possibility of magic in the universe. They have my contempt.

Fossils Reveal Creature Both Human and Ape. Now the world's Christians and Muslims can throw out their death cults.

By ROBERT LEE HOTZ
Scientists in South Africa announced a hoard of fossil finds Thursday documenting a puzzling forerunner to modern mankind that lived nearly two million years ago, with human-like hands and ape-like feet.
Unearthed near Johannesburg, the extensive collection of fossils—including the most complete early specimen of a hand known—highlights a sparsely documented era of evolution when four or more ape-like hominid species roamed Africa, each one a natural experiment in anatomy and dawning intelligence. The new finds all belong to a prehuman species of that time calledAustralopithecus sediba, discovered in 2008.
From head to toe, the bones reveal an unexpected patchwork of primitive and advanced traits, the researchers reported in the journal Science. The tiny skulls, long arms and diminutive bodies were all chimp-like; yet the hands, ankles and pelvis were surprisingly modern.
A model of the creature's grapefruit-size brain, based on a three-dimensional X-ray scan of its fossilized cranium, hinted that its structure had been growing more advanced, heralding perhaps the first glimmer of sophisticated mental abilities.
"It's as if evolution is caught in one vital moment, a stop-action snapshot of evolution in action," said paleoanthropologist Richard Potts, director of the Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins Program, who wasn't involved in the discoveries.
Based on its analysis, the international research team of 80 scientists and technicians, led by Lee Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said the species was the most probable ancestor of the family to which all modern humans belong, the genus Homo.
"They do represent a model that could lead to the genus Homo," Dr. Berger said.

Four independent experts in the field of human origins, however, strongly discounted that claim. The species, which stood about four feet tall, was more likely an evolutionary dead end, they said.
"Just because it shares a bit of anatomical morphology with Homo does not mean it is Homo or ancestral to Homo," said anthropologist Bernard Wood at George Washington University. "It looks increasingly that these bits of morphology are appearing more than once, independently, in the tree of life."
Even so, the bones are invaluable. "They're stunning," Dr. Wood acknowledged. The fossils challenge some assumptions about human origins and are certain to prompt years of scholarly debate. "This is an incredible trove for anything that early in time," said anthropologist Ian Tattersal, at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York.
So far, Dr. Berger and his colleagues have discovered 220 bones from skeletons of five individuals, including infant, juvenile and adult remains representing both sexes, in the Malapa Cave at the United Nations Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, about 28 miles from Johannesburg.
They dated the finds at 1.977 million years old, based on a laboratory estimate of the rate of decay of uranium traces in the cave sediments.

The creatures may have belonged to a family group that died by falling into the deep cave. Their remains came to light when erosion exposed the ancient sediments that had buried them. Some of the bones were found still connected to each other, as they would have been in life.
The creature's right hand featured a long thumb and short fingers able to grip tools, yet the curvature of the hand and the gangling arms appear more suitable for swinging on branches. There were no stone tools in evidence.
In the same way, the arch of its foot and its leg bones were well suited for human-like upright walking—with a slightly knock-kneed gait—while its heel and shin bone were more like those of a chimpanzee, better configured for climbing trees.
To the researchers' surprise, the primitive creature's pelvis was "the most human-like" ever discovered among a prehuman species, Dr. Berger said.

Most scientists have longed believed that the pelvis evolved to accommodate the birth of big-brained infants. But this early species had very small brains, leaving researchers wondering whether the need to walk more efficiently, rather than the demands of childbirth, shaped the biomechanics of the pelvis and hip joints.
"This hand is wonderful. The foot is fine. And the pelvis is spectacular," said anthropologist Philip Rightmire at Harvard University's Peabody Museum. "Evolution is more convoluted than we thought."

The religious implications of evolution
This post is about a professional Christian asshole.
R. Albert Mohler, Jr. = dumb looking face, uneducated moron, a coward who believes in the childish idiotic magical heaven fantasy because reality makes him cry, professional science denier, professional nitwit for the dead Jeebus, no better than a terrorist, and completely worthless.
His kind contribute nothing to human progress. They just get in the way.
Thanks Mohler, your breathtaking insanity is the best possible advertisement for atheism.
Will Christian tards ever stop lying about fossils?
You wrote “there is no evidence of transitional fossils”
You, sir, are a liar. You don’t know what you’re talking about, but your total ignorance of biology is no excuse for spreading lies.
No evidence of transitional species in the fossil record? You’re full of it. For example, the fossil record that describes the transition from land animals to whales is complete. Use google to look it up, and next time check your facts before making a fool out of yourself.
I’m sorry but I have no tolerance for pathological liars like you. You should apologize.

My comment was censored. I'm not surprised. Liars for the dead Jeebus love censorship.

This blog has several posts about the fossil record including This is for the Christian assholes who say there are no transitional fossils.
Also, please click the fossils label.
More reasons why I have contempt for wimps who suck up to Muslim scum.

Some of the strongest evidence for evolution is the fossil record and the molecular evidence that describe the development of whales.
The moral values of Christians are fake. The moral values of atheists are real.
However I noticed atheists have strong moral values, and I also noticed Christians (also known as uneducated morons) are morally corrupt.
The difference is atheists don't need a god fairy threatening them with punishment in a magical hell or promising them a reward in a magical heaven. Atheists do good things only because that's the right thing to do. The moral values of Christians are fake. The moral values of atheists are real.
Atheists (also known as normal people) also have the advantage of not being superstitious cowards. There's nobody more cowardly than a Christian lunatic who is infected with the childish idiotic heaven fantasy.
Definitions of theist and atheist
There is one Republican candidate for USA president who isn't an uneducated moron.
His name is Jon Huntsman. He used to be governor of Utah. He wants to be president but he is way behind in the polls and even worse he's not stupid enough to be nominated by his Republican Party.
I know very little about him and I'm too lazy to look anything up, but I did read a favorable editorial about him in the Wall Street Journal. He has some good ideas for getting our economy going again, ideas which are the exact opposite of what Obama would do. I'm a big fan of President Obama but like most liberals he gets virtually everything wrong about how capitalism works. For example it's not helpful to repeatedly say he wants to raise taxes on filthy rich pigs. When the economy is this bad it's not a good idea to want to punish people just because they are successful, especially since it's the rich pigs who do most of the hiring in this country. If they think their president is going to steal their money, they are less likely to expand their businesses. Liberals are right about many things but for some strange reason they know nothing about how private enterprise works.
Mr. Huntsman is probably the only Republican I would want to vote for but since he has no chance of winning the nomination it's likely I will vote for Obama again.
What got my attention, in addition to the Wall Street Journal editorial, was Mr. Huntsman, unlike most Republicans, is not a science denier. For example, he's not afraid of evolutionary biology, and unlike Rick Perry he doesn't have a history of trying to suppress the teaching of the foundation of biology in public school biology classrooms.
Unfortunately, perhaps because he's an idiot, or perhaps because he thinks he has to pretend to be an idiot to have any chance of winning the nomination, Mr. Huntsman sticks a magic god fairy into evolutionary biology. He believes or pretends to believe this branch of science is part of a fairy's plan. I bet he's just sucking up to the Christian tards who infest the Republican Party.
As far as I know, when Obama has been asked about evolution he says he accepts it and he doesn't stick any god fairies into it. Apparently Republicans are not allowed to do that because Republican voters need their politicians to at least pretend to be drooling morons.
This is what I found about Mr. Huntsman in a news website:
For now, Huntsman's primary target is Perry, who is drawing support from the far right and the tea party. Days after entering the race last month, the Texas governor questioned the role humans play in climate change and said there are "gaps" in the theory of evolution.
Without naming Perry, Huntsman snapped back on Twitter, saying: "To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."
During a "Fox and Friends" appearance, Huntsman reiterated that he trusts evolutionary science, but explained: "I believe in evolution. I think it’s part of God’s plan."

I have no problem with the word atheist but when asked "Do you believe in god?" my reply is "No, I don't have that disease" or "No, I'm normal" which has the advantage of insulting the superstitious idiot who asked the question.
