Darwin

i have never been to darwin but my father went to alice springs which is not far from there (in outback miles) he brought back some glass dolphins and some aboriginal musical instruments – wooden carved sticks with burnt patterns on them which are used for hitting together to make the rhythms at corroborees

Darwin didn't say that we are descended from apes rather than 'Adam and Eve.'

What he said is that the process of natural selection goes back and back in time – a vast period of time.

Indeed, given the most primitive form of life to require male-female sex for procreation, our common ancestors are a pair of blue-green algae.

Or Adam and Eve, if you creationists prefer.

Unger said: »Little known fact: Darwin's first name wasn't Charles, but Beelzabob. Really...« Really I don't see the relevance, even if it were true. According to my name I should limp, but apart from an inherited coxalgy, I don't. And I don't think Satan has evolved very much, except as a fly. Unger's statement is not only non linear, but also a sign of obscurantism.

People attacking Darwin lack a sense of time. Two million years is not the same as two hundred million years. A lot more can happen.

There's no need to do it right the first time.

And, anyway, evolution produced frogs. Even I can do that, if you give me a few hundred million years.
