Nah, we just turned one gap into two gaps.  Thus sayeth the god of the gaps.

When my idiotic fundy cousins bring up gaps I tell them to lay out the skeleton of every ancestor between them and Adam. If they can't then I refuse to believe they're even alive.

If Adam really existed, how come we haven't found his fossils?  Checkmate Theists!

Actually, the gap concept is kind of dumb. The idea that we could find a complete sequence of evolution from primate to man is highly unlikely, considering the millions of years involved. The fact that we can show there is a sequence and will probably find more intermediate fossils will have to suffice.

A flat earth society, for fucks sakes! lol that's funny stuff. Don't fall off the ledge into the furnace! The bible says every christian is promised 80 years. So if you die before 80, watch out.

I've read and learnt quite a bit about what it takes to enter biblical heaven.. and I can tell you, even the most hardcore christians don't want it to be real. They ain't makin' shit. I hope if there is a life beyond this world that christians aren't allowed to enter for being so blatantly proud of acting ignorant. Just because you miss someone doesn't mean you have to be a retard.

The last thing I want to hear about for an eternity is how christ is coming back. LOL

I joined the Flat Earth Society back in 1982. :D

My brother bought the t-shirt. I actually have a picture of me wearing it somewhere because I had to borrow something from him to wear for a party and he gave me that one.

What?  :snooty: That's not how evolution works. Solitary
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
