50 Reasons I Reject Evolution
1.) Because I donÂ’t like the idea that we came from apesÂ… despite that humans are categorically defined and classified as apes.
2.) Because IÂ’m too **** and/or lazy to open a **** book or turn on the Discovery Science Channel.
3.) Because if I canÂ’t immediately understand how something works, then it must be bullshit.
4.) Because I donÂ’t care that literally 99.9% of all biologists accept evolution as the unifying theory of biology.
5.) Because I prefer the idea that a (insert god of choice) went ALLA-KADABRA-ZAM MOTHAH-FUCKAHS!!!
6.) Because I canÂ’t get it through my thick logic-proof skull that evolution refers ONLY to the process of speciation, not to abiogenesis, or planet formation, or big bang cosmology, or whether God exists, or where they buried Jimmy Hoffa, or why the sky is blue, or how many licks it takes to get to the center of a **** Tootsie Pop.
7.) Because the fossil record doesnÂ’t comprise the remains of every single living thing that ever existed on this 4.5 billion year old planet, even though fossilization is a rare process that only occurs under very specific circumstances.
8.) Because science has yet to produce any transitional speciesÂ… except for the magnitudinous numbers of them found in the fossil record which donÂ’t count becauseÂ… I uh, OOH LOOK! A SHINY OBJECT!!! *runs away*
9.) Because I know nothing about Darwin except that he had a funny beard.
10.) Because the theory of evolution (which, according to scientists, perfectly explains the richness and diversity of life on Earth) contradicts biblical literalismÂ… ya know, flat Earth with a firmament that keeps out the water, talking snakes, people rising from the dead, bats are birds, flamey talking bushes, virgin births, food appearing out of nowhere, massive bodies of water turning into bloodÂ… etc etc.
11.) Because I think the word “theory” actually means: “random stabs in the dark” when it really means: "an explanation of certain phenomena that is well-supported by a large body of facts and often unifies similarly well-supported hypotheses" i.e. atomic theory, gravitational theory, germ theory, cell theory, some-people-are-dumb-motherfuckers-theory, etc.
12.) Because the fact that science is self-correcting annoys me. Most of my other beliefs are rigidly fixed and uncorrectable.
13.) Because I am under the severely mistaken impression that evolution implies someone in my very recent ancestry was a chimp.
14.) Because everything appears designed to my mind which was expertly tuned by nature to perceive design, probably as a survival mechanism.
15.) Because some secretly fabulous closet-dwelling televangelist (who unironically preaches hate towards gays) told me that evolution is SatanÂ’s way of leading me away from God.
16.) Because that same guy (who was also caught snorting blow off a male hookerÂ’s shiny naked ass) told me that God planted those fossils to test my faith.
17.) Because IÂ’m 100% correct about everything 100% of the time and there is 0% chance that some snooty Oxford educated scientist with numerous honorary doctorates could possibly know something that I donÂ’t.
18.) Because I donÂ’t know that fossils are found in sedimentary strata corresponding to their age as one would expect if evolution were true.
19.) Because I don’t understand why, if we share common ancestry with chimps, there are still chimps. And when someone with more than three brain cells in their head inevitably replies: “for the same reason Americans share common ancestry with Brits but there are still Brits, I can’t follow the logic. It’s just too big a leap. Who am I, Evil Knievel?
20.) Because my mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby.
21.) Multiple times.
22.) On purpose.
23.) Because the idea that life evolved naturally over billions of years is infinitely less believable than the idea that an 800 year old man crammed two of every species into a giant wooden boat when the entire planet flooded, an event for which there is absolutely no geological evidence whatsoever and also makes no **** sense at all.
24.) Because Jesus totally rode around on a **** t-rex. HeÂ’s just that badassed. And also, did you know that t-rexes were vegetarians? Ken Ham says so and I believe it.
25.) Because I don’t realize that saying “microevolution is possible but macroevolution isn’t” is as **** as saying “I can pick my nose for one second but I cannot pick it for 10 seconds.”
26.) Because the education system failed me miserably.
27.) Â…and then took a big wet dump on my face.
28.) Because I think that knowing how nature works magically obliterates all of its beauty.
29.) Because I didnÂ’t know that evolution has been tested and observed in laboratories.
30.) Because when confronted with that, I refuse to believe it. ItÂ’s obviously a scientific conspiracy aimed at turning everyone on the planet into atheists... even though evolution says nothing about god's nature nor whether he, she, it, or they exist.
31.) Because IÂ’m too **** to realize that Social Darwinism has nothing to do with evolution and is actually a pseudo-scientific bastardization that real science largely rejects.
32.) Because the planet and all the life on it was designed for humansÂ… kinda like how the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY was designed specifically for the dust-bunnies that may accumulate on the floors.
33.) Because I donÂ’t realize that if we actually found croco-ducks in the fossil record, it would falsify evolution.
34.) Because plenty of respectable people like Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee (who are not scientists) donÂ’t accept evolution, and that somehow validates my opinion.
35.) Because my mother didnÂ’t know not to drink while she was pregnant. She also didnÂ’t know not to repeatedly throw herself down a flight of stairs in an attempt to undo the accident of screwing someone who voted for Bush both times.
36.) Because I don’t know that “irreducible complexity” has been debunked a frazillion times by a frazillion different people and is no more credible an argument than “NEEN-er NEEN-er NEEN-er, I’m right and you’re wrong.”
37.) Because I have never seen a duck evolve into a cat over night, despite the fact that such a thing would be contrary to all known scientific disciplines.
38.) Because I have no imagination, learning is too much effort, I donÂ’t like proven facts, change scares me, and I think deoxyribonucleic acid is something IÂ’m supposed to clean my bathroom floors with.
39.) Because evolution means that I absolutely MUST reject everything else I know, abandon all my beliefs, and start aping around my house like a **** monkey. OOOh-ooohh-ooohohh -OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!
40.) Because I havenÂ’t put my cave on the market and moved into the 21st century yet. IÂ’m waiting for the cave market to rebound from the recent financial meltdown.
41.) Because I donÂ’t know what an atavism is and if you told me, I still wouldn't believe it. Too weird.
42.) Because I donÂ’t know that evolution explains methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and also provides the answer in preventing it from turning into a superbug and killing massive numbers of people.
43.) Because I donÂ’t know that evolution is routinely used in medicine to diagnose and treat certain illnesses such as genetic ailments, bacterial infections, and viral infections.
44.) Because I believe there is a strong comparison between designed inanimate objects such as buildings, paintings, and watches (which we know were pieced together from identifiable components by human beings) and living organisms (which reproduce with genetic variation under the effects of environmental attrition).
45.) Because I see no significant similarities between humans and apes. *scratches my ass-crack then smells my fingers*
46.) Because I think IÂ’m too special to have been crafted by any natural process and the entire planet, solar system, galaxy, and universe were created with me especially in mind.
47.) Because I unquestioningly swallow the ignorant anti-science bullshit spewed directly from the fraudulent **** asses of people like Ken Ham, Ted Haggard, Fred Phelps, and Kent Hovind.
48.) Because IÂ’m a freethinker and freethinking really means ignoring anything that contradicts what I already believe.
49.) Because I donÂ’t know what confirmation bias is.
50.) Because despite the fact that in all my years of life, I have never seen any magic, I still believe magic is the answer to anything I donÂ’t immediately comprehend.
Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case. Quod erat demonstrandum, I **** win. Take that you EVILutionists!
1.) Because I donÂ’t like the idea that we came from apesÂ… despite that humans are categorically defined and classified as apes.
2.) Because IÂ’m too **** and/or lazy to open a **** book or turn on the Discovery Science Channel.

Luonnonvalinnallinen näkemys kotimaan (ja miksei kansainväliseenkin) turvallisuuteen!Tiistai 24.02.2009 17:51
Luonnossa "uhkataso" on aina vähintäänkin oranssi (eli korkea): Saalistajat ja kulkutaudit ovat heltymätön uhka minkä tahansa elävän asian hyvinvoinnille ja onnistuneelle suvun jatkamiselle.
Tutkiiko kehosi kuitenkaan jokaista henkäystä varmistaakseen, ettei se sisällä taudinaiheuttajia, ennen kuin se menee keuhkojesi kautta kehoosi?
Ei tietenkään, kertoo Rafe Sagarin, oseanografian ja ympäristönsuojelun yliassistentti (Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment), ja olisi tietenkin typerää yrittää moista. Mikäli ei ensiksi tukehtuisi, mikrobit yksinkertaisesti löytäisivät toisen tien sisään. Näin luonnonuhat toimivat.
Sagarin -- ekologi, joka yleensä keskittyy mm. siilien ja meritähtien tilaan vuorovesilammikoissa -- alkoi ajattelemaan näitä asioita alle vuosi syyskuun 11. päivän tapahtumien jälkeen. Hän näki Washingtonin kaupungin rakentavan uutta ja kallista "kuorta", pystyttävän suuria suojamuureja rakennusten ympärille, palkkaamalla vartijoita ja asentamalla videokameroita jokaiselle oviaukolle.
"Tuolloin kaikessa oli kyse uusien vartijoiden palkkaamisesta, suurempien asemäärien käyttöönotosta ja uusista suojaporteista," hän sanoi. "Minä rupesin miettimään, 'jos minä olisin sopeutuva organismi, miten voisin yrittää ohittaa tällaisen puolustuksen ja selvitä siitä?' "
Melkoisen helposti, kuten ilmenee. "Jos he tutkivat jokaisen takakontin, laitan pommin takapenkille."
Sagarin ajattelee tällä tavoin, koska hän on biologi, ei poliisi. Hän sanoo, että tämän ajattelutavan — jonka Charles Darwinin syvä ymmärrys elämän selviytymis- ja lisääntymiskamppailusta saattoi tiedoksi — omaksuminen turvallisuusanalyytikkojen keskuudessa olisi viisasta.
Perjantaiaamuna, 13.2.2009, Sagarin järjesti aiheesta 90 minuutin symposiumin "American Association for the Advancement of Science"-järjestön vuositapaaminessa Chigagossa.
Sagarin on "Natural Security: A Darwinian Approach to a Dangerous World"-teoksen (University of California Press, 2008) tuottaja, mikä sai kansallisen biologian, antropologian, virologian, turvallisuuden, psykologian ja matematiikan ammattilaisista koostuvan komitean kokoontumaan. Tapaus sai heidät miettimään, kuinka kotimaan turvallisuusjärjestelmä voisi toimia enemmänkin immuunijärjestelmän kuin kovia puhuvan texasilaisen sheriffin tavoin.
Luonnossa uhan kanssa menetellään lukuisilla tavoilla. Esimerkiksi on olemassa
Kollektivismia (esim. yksi nelisormimangusti tuottaa huutamalla hälytyksen koko laumalle vaikkapa lähestyvästä haukasta: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/SmallMammals/fact-meerkat.cfm)
Naamioitumista (esim. kiiruna sulautuu ympäristöön: http://www.paulnoll.com/Oregon/Birds/survive-camouflage.html & http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=62266)
Redundanssia (esim. viisaudenhampaiden poistaminen: http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/wisdom.html)
Odottamatonta käyttäytymistä (esim. Pallokalan piikikäs pullistuminen: http://www.biomechanics.bio.uci.edu/_html/nh_biomech/pufferfish/puffer.htm)
3.5 miljardin vuoden evolutiivisesta paineesta johtuen biologisille organismeille on kehittynyt lukemattomia puolustusmenetelmiä. Ihmisten käyttämät "Top down, build-a-wall, broadcast-your-status"-tyyliset lähestymistavat ovat Sagarinin mukaan täysin päinvastaisia verrattuna muiden organismien puolustusmekanismeille.
Esimerkiksi immuunijärjestelmä ei toimi minkään yksittäisen auktoriteetin varassa. Se nojaa jakautuneeseen, itsehallinnollisten vaikuttajien verkostoon, joka aistii paikalliset uhat ja vastaa, mukautuen uhkaan ja viestittäen apuvoimia odottamatta käskyjä mistään päätoimistosta.
Sagarin "natural security"-ajattelumalli voi vaatia totuttelua. "Organismit eivät yritä päästä uhista ja riskeistä eroon," hän sanoo. "Ne oppivat sopeutumaan ja elämään asian kanssa"
Lähes jokainen organismin teko liittyy jollain tavalla turvallisuuteen.
Riskin täydellinen eliminointi on huomattavasti kalliimpaa kuin organismi itse voisi kestää, ja luultavasti myös tyhjänpäiväistä, koska uhat sopeutuvat ympäristöönsä. Sen sijaan vastaanottavaisuus, sopeutuvuus ja kyky olla laittamatta viimeisiä pennosia budjetista puolustukseen, lisää organismin mahdollisuutta käsitellä odottamattomia ja ennennäkemättömiä uhkia tässä kiihtyvässä elämän kilpavarustelussa.

Hyvää Charles Darwinin 200-vuotispäivää! <3Torstai 12.02.2009 17:00
Darwin is now a household name whose ideas over the last 150 years have revolutionised our understanding of nature and our place within it.
Darwin challenged the thinking of the day because his observations - that every living thing is related and belongs to one big family - placed humans firmly within the natural world.
As the following quotes indicate, DarwinÂ’s innovative thoughts are just as important to our lives todayÂ…
--
'Charles Darwin's concept of evolution through natural selection is one of the most illuminating scientific ideas of all time for understanding our biosphere and humanity's place in nature. As an iconic figure, Darwin is matched only by Newton and Einstein - indeed, he has perhaps had a more pervasive influence on human culture than any other scientist.'
- Lord Rees of Ludlow, The Charles Darwin Trust's Science Advisory Panel
--
'The two governing ideas of modern biology are first, the molecular basis of all life processes and second, the origin and evolution of all life processes by Darwinian natural selection.'
- Professor E. O. Wilson, The Charles Darwin Trust's Science Advisory Panel.
---
'There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.'
- Charles Robert Darwin (On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection)

Tällaisina hetkinä käy hyvin vaikeaksi
jättää siteeraamatta Freudia,
joka korosti salaisuuksien piilottamisen silkkaa mahdottomuutta.
Huulet jäävät nykimään
yrittäessään vaieta.
Sulkeutumalla sikiöasentoon
sormenpäät kuitenkin jatkavat
tuota loputonta juorujen pyörrettä.
Jopa kirjoitettu teksti valottaa luojansa mielen
jokaiselle vastaanottajalle.
Jos kukaan ei voi piilottaa salaisuutta,
niin silloinhan yksikään ihminen
ei lopulta voi säästyä rehellisyyden myrskyltä.
Tunneälymme evoluutio on liikkeellä
eikä luonnonvalinta ole ummistanut hetkeksikään
edes toista silmäänsä.
Rehellisyys tarkoittaa ilmeisen toteamista ääneen
ja ainoastaan sillä voi punnita luottamuksen.
Iloni on suuri voidessani todeta ääneen:
Minä luotan sinuun jokaisella polullani
- minä luotan joka solullani.
