    Evolutions Smoking Gun

    5 million years is not a small timeframe. There, consider your argument countered. I would argue that there isn't enough genetic difference between humans and chimps when taking into account the amount of time our evolutionary paths have had as seperate entities. Generally speaking the only...

    I must be completely thick. I don't understand how my dog/wolf thing isn't related to what you are saying. I think it is a perfect analogy.

    No worries :). Quick question for you though...I see you specify your religion as Humanist Agnostic yet you choose to call yourself Gnostic. Isn't that a contradiction? :confused:

    I think you may be preaching to the converted on this thread. Re-read Sunstones posts and try to understand that he wasn't attacking your beliefs but rather trying to explain the futility of trying to convince those who do not want to be convinced.
