What happens if I beleive I evolved from a fish?????????

well you take away one of the most over used and terribly flawed arguments in opposition to evolution.

Though I do think I may start hearing others saying we evolved from sea kittens as a ridiculous and intellectually corrupt reply on par in idiocy with the "we didn't evolve from a monkey, we were made as is by god"

Don't you mean hermit cats?

Your P/T dentist (no joke, they put surprising emphasis on his work in dentistry) thinks the Theory of Evolution started with the Big Bang.

Paraphrase misunderstanding? He was pretty dead on in the beginning, he just summed it up.

I would suggest it started at, but shot off, from the same line that made spider silk since that is also a rear chemical reaction. The rest of it explained by the simple idea that "Beetle find it difficult to survive with an exploded a**." (Natural Selection.)

Where's the misunderstanding? He made one of the stupidest mistakes: Darwin speculated on Abiogenesis, but he didn't develop the theory, nor is the Big Bang theory a part of Evolution theory; people just kind of lump them together. It's like saying waking up is part of my work day. It's not. Your work day is the time you spend at work.

Isn't Big Bang actually frowned upon by the scientific community?

[Golden Dysprosium]

Sure. Why not.

That's because you've not bothered to do this special thing that scientists sometimes call "research" and ordinary folk call "looking up stuff". Do you seriously think that this is an original argument? It's been around since forever. And it's the same argument over and over again:
# Randomly select a species.
# Describe some aspect of it which is complex.
# Exaggerate some other aspect of it.
# Conclude that it could not have evolved.
(to borrow from Mr. Wong). Whenever creationists say "evolution couldn't have created X", they really mean "I personally cannot imagine an evolutionary process that could do so." No more, no less. It's an argument from ignorance--worse, most of the time it's an argument from their personal ignorance.

How about this: if you have a particular animal in mind, just look around to see whether or not it has been answered. That way, you might question the validity of the answers or your understanding of it or whatnot, instead of looking like a lazy douche that wears ignorance as a badge of honor.

(Well, at least it's not that old "bananas: the atheists' worst nightmare" nonsense again.)

And Ray even got that wrong, I've tried opening with his "tab", it's WAY easier to open a banana from the bottom.

Erm....not as far as any of my physics classes have ever been concerned (and if they all lied to me, I want my money back seeing as I just graduated with a degree in physics).

It's possible, but if it did happen, why are there still monkeys living on Earth?

Because some of the "monkeys" went in one direction and the others didn't but more than on type survived. Make sense?
