I was reading an article on the idiot in West Virginia who is suing the state for teaching evolution when I find this gem in the comments:

In case you can't see, this person says, "One theory from my surgeon in Tualua, Colombia: We arrived here about 3 Billion years ago as few survivors following all-out war Moon-Mars."

Da fuq?

His surgeon said this.

His surgeon.

SURGEON!

He also says this, "There are so many buildings, also in Peru and Bolivia that "we" couldn't possibly have built. Were we really at a higher level technologically in earlier times or ??? How to move a 1,200 ton obelisk ? And so on. Today we can't do it."

Umm...



This was from a UK publication.

And from the comment section of the Facebook post:


"Well, if it was me, I would argue, that you can't teach a theory that has never been proven or observed and goes against scientific law....The Biological law of bio-gensis and the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It's unconstitutional to teach things that aren't true."

"Micro-evolution I will agree has been observed, they can teach that...But, Macro-evolution and teaching that we evolvoed from rock...no, I don't think that's right."

Derp.

I went to Catholic school for thirteen years, but we still learned about evolution in science class. I really don't remember how in depth it was taught, but I understood the basic concept in junior high. We probably got more into it in biology in high school.

Maybe it's because I was already leaning towards non-belief that it clicked so easily with me. Some of the other kids had a harder time reconciling it with the creation stories we were taught in religion class. I just figured God's day could be billions of years, he created the world and everything in it, then let it progress through evolution. I kind of just ignored the part about Adam and Eve. Most Catholics (at least the ones I know) believe that, or believe it's a plausible explanation.
