The Bible-thumping Southern-fried big-hair Creationist folks are
missing a huge point. They could win this whole “evolution vs.
creation” argument hands down if they just pointed out one simple
fact. Without modern medicine and 24-hour high-tech supervision, all
children would die. This stuff was simply not available in Pangea.
Toddlers are too stupid to live on their own. There’s no way they are
the products of natural selection.
My kid tries to destroy himself every day. He can’t be the result of
millions of years of evolution. If he had caveman ancestors, we’d find
their tiny ossified skeletons in the tar pits. Why? Because they didn’t
listen to their parents and ran headlong into the inviting black goop
of
death, that’s why. Christ, I don’t even know why I try anymore…
If there is any way for a child to harm himself, he will. Put a kid
in a
room with 10,000 toys and one razor blade and you know what he’ll
do? That’s right. He will use the razorblade to cut the eyes off a
teddy
bear and shove them up his nose until they are lodged in his itty bitty
suicidal brain.
My kid just went to the hospital because he shoved a pea up his nose.
A pea! His nose! What was he thinking?
“Hmmm…how can I hurt myself with this small, freeze-dried globe?
I know!” SNARF!
He can turn a simple pea into Kevorkian engine of doom. That’s not
survival of the fittest, folks. That’s stupid.
