the arrogance of animals
If you want to see a video of three young women smugly singing ‘We didn’t come from monkeys, we didn’t swing from trees, we’re not a piece of seaweed floating in the breeze’, please click here to see the video post kindly provided by Nightmares of Jesus.
If you’re able to do anything other than shudder in the moments following viewing this delight, have a think about the consequences of this kind of problematic arrogance inherent in many of our species. What good does it do the planet to believe we’re not an integral part of it, but a specially created princess species with divinely appointed dominion over the lesser inhabitants? None, I wager. Even divinely appointed princesses with good intentions can get carried away by their position of importance.
One of the reasons the Christian myth has been so successful among our species, is the manner in which it strokes our delicate egos. We’re the best and most important bit (well the blokes are) in the super duper special creation of the only god, God. He even made us (well the men anyway) to look like him! He cares about us, he loves us, he has a plan for us, and knows every hair on our head – he’s the best invisible parent we never had, and we’re the obviously lovable best bit of creation valiantly dealing with sin and the hardships of life on our journey to eternal bliss with the god, God (dependent on satisfactory behaviour). I think evolving from seaweed seems vastly more probable, even in the absence of all scientific knowledge.
Evolving from seaweed has a better side to it, there is no where I have heard that seaweed plans to punish you for eternity[how long is that] for not understanding evolution 😛
Besides, we are vulnerable to mosquitoes, lice, ants, and I don’t know what else. In fact if we are created in the image of a god, and are like him, he must be the weakest thing in all nature!

I love the idea of seaweed going in vengeful punishment rampage because it’s creation didn’t pay it due respect!

But we can always respond we were not consulted whether we want to be end results. We can send a hi-five but that’s just it 😛

Ahhhhh, are you suggesting that the god God is seaweed? That’s lovely!! 🙂 I had assumed it was something to do with your temperature calculations for hell and/or vacuums …

You know having to explain a joke is just slightly more devastating than poking your eyes out with wet, used toothpicks.

Yes, but slightly less devastating than not getting a joke that everyone else is laughing at. 😦

But if we are created on god’s image, then why the hell aren’t we invisible?

Computer malfunction? Hmm, I’d say brain malfunction…

I felt they were immodestly dressed and thus inciting lustful thoughts. Therefore, I couldn’t finish listening to the song and had to rush off and take a suspiciously long shower.

Well, normally I would chide you for your weakness. But with all that suggestive hair on display, I can only imagine the feelings of lust awakened in your sinful loins.

Is it true that we all come from monkeys?
Every time I look at you, it’s so
If you are a monkey, where’s your tail gawn?
Ay, Dad, don’cha know?
I have read that Wallace might not have got it, if the Beagle had sunk. He thought of evolution by group selection.
I thought we were great apes, rather than monkeys.

Probably neither. Is it not thought to be a common ancestor of monkey-ish persuasion? I don’t really know. But I find the notion neither ridiculous nor disturbing. It makes a lot more sense than separately created beings with lots in common. “And the god God said, “And I’ll make this creature have eerily similar features to humans so that the sinful among them will come to the evil notion that they are related to such foul beasts.Yuck! Silly animals.”

I still haven’t heard the song yet, I’m in a meeting the whole day but I still prefer a slow and long process for creation (better evolution) rather than knowing that I was created using “akhkhkhkhkh tfooooo” filthy spit in the mud using Abra Kadabra shit and magic word to create an only male product (hence the question why create the penis without creating a counterpart vagina?) then after some time god looks at this lonely male and says something like Homer Simpson: “D’oh, damn I forgot the cunt, here give me your rib, I’ll model it and crete your counterpart cart” this makes more sense right?

Well, you’re in for a treat when you get home. The song is rather inspiring and may well change your attitude to anatomy and creation!
