Evolution |
I honestly can't believe that some people out there actually subscribe to the intellectual mishap which is creationism. Sometimes I'm surprised to find one that actually knows quite about about evolution and the theory of evolution. Generally, masses tend to be ignorant. They say it's absurd to think that we evolved from ape-like primates. I've got news, it makes a lot more sense than saying we just appeared one day. |
