Hannity board's Crusader Frank "ENDS the evolution 'debate' here"
This is the cream of the Hannity forum, folks. Feast on THIS 'logic':

====


Let's end the evolution "debate" here. I explain evolution, you point out the fault.

1. Why haven't alligators evolved thumbs?

2. "Random mutation" so if my Ranch style house gets hit by an asteroid, there's a good chance that it will be mutated into an English Tudor, right?

Evolution is like listening to a wall describe a fresh coat of paint.

3. Why would an animal who has a huge mouth, drags it's prey
to the bottom of the swamp, traps it, lets it die and leaves it there to rot and be picked over need thumbs?

And how the hell does an inantimate object fall into the evolution debate?

Wow. No wonder they believe Hannity. They're that stupid.

4. What an idiot
1. Alligators don't need thumbs.

2. What the hell do houses have to do with evolution?

People must lost brain cells by listening to him.

5. To answer directly.
1. Gators don't need thumbs to survive. They evolved powerful jaws and big teeth to help them survive.

2. Random mutations 99.9 percent of the time tend to be very bad, but the .1 percent of the time it may offer an advantage above others that don't have the mutation. A good example is a cockroach that has a mutation that allowed it to survive a spraying of Raid.

6. "Why haven't alligators evolved thumbs?"
Because they don't need anything to stick up their ass while watching Hannity.

9. The uber stupid posting
What a strange person.

Clearly he's a typical insannity follower. Totally uninformed and has a 1st grade grasp of science.
He probably lives in fear of witches.

11. Alligators don't need thumbs.
When was the last time you saw an Alligator hitchhiking?

Usually they rent a car.

14. But if they had thumbs they could hold a pencil and learn to write!
Think of the possibilities. :)

15. Just what this world needs: Literate Alligators.
Edited on Thu May-10-07 07:13 AM by maine_raptor
I can see the Fla homeowner now:

After reading a note written by "Old Tom" ("Hand over the poodle or your grandkids are next"), said homeowner is going to turn to his wife and say; "Nice penmanship".

Hell, if they had thumbs, then they could type. And the last thing this world needs is a bunch surly alligators clogging the internets tubes with their reptilian rants.

On edit and re-consideration: You know maybe some have and not all those Freepers whose posts we like to quote live in Mom's basement.

13. By this logic...
...one could ask, "If evolution were real, why hasn't Goo Goo Ga Ga evolved a second head, with a functioning brain?" Clearly he seems in need of one.

16. Why hasn't Crusader Frank evolved opposable thumbs?
That is the biggest, most confused pile of shit I have ever seen.

17. So, what ... the Earth has had billions of years to develop life
(and look at what purports to be the highest achievement of life ... :eyes:) ...

Give science several billion years and all the resources ... I bet that, in that amount of time, science could CREATE life in a laboratory, too ...

I remember a number of years back, enzymes were produced from scratch ... also, there was a patent on a "life form" which eats spilled oil ...

18. Well, he's certainly ended the debate....
such abject stupidity would cause anyone debating him to flee. Debate ended!

Instead of thumbs, I wish alligators would mutate into flying creatures. Could you imagine alligators with wings? Oh......then they'd be quite similar to a pterodactyl, wouldn't they? But pterodactyls didn't really exist, did they? Their fossils were planted under the earth by satan to test the faith of god's true believers.

Alright, enough of that "thinking" stuff, my brain is starting to hurt. I think I'll just read the bible to get the one and only TRUE story. Whew.....that was close! :dilemma:

19. If alligators needed thumbs
and didn't have them, they would probably be extinct. Something that works for 400 million years kinda speaks for itself.

If Frank's ranch style house gets hit by an asteroid, Frank (and all of his neighbors) would be extinct.
