<raven> Jesus, this is like, Onion-level retarded.
Goddamnit I’m just done my 32-oz iced latte and then just got finished learning that I lost a day’s work because the people who we’re told we should make more of an effort to communicate with didn’t tell us there was an environment change and then someone has to go and send me this link:
Daily Progress, Jacksonville, TX - Origin of Man
Starts with one guy saying “You can certainly be a Christian and believe in evolution” and yes goddamnit yes I’ve been screaming that for years. But great. But then we get Billy Wilbanks, chair of the Science Department at Jacksonville College:
“We hear that all life-forms are progressing from one life-form to another, but yet in the world we do not have any life-forms that are between forms. The fossil record has never shown anything to be in a transition state, going from this form to that form…
“There’s a lot of questions right now that I can’t answer. What holds the clouds up? If we throw a whole bucket of water in the air, the whole bucket is going to come right back down, but when it rains, all these little raindrops fall,” Wilbanks said.
Let’s say that again with emphasis: Billy Wilbanks, chair of the Science Department at Jacksonville College. I mean, yeah, JC (hah) is a private junior college owned by the Baptist Missionary Association of Texas, so you kind of expect this. But if I quoted here every stupid thing this guy said, I’d basically be quoting all his parts of the article.
