WINGED CAT! — http://weeklyworldnews.com/mutants/8484/winged-cat/
I thought Bat Boy was at Little Big Horn.
(Little Bat Horn?)
Presumably evolution doesn’t always break in favor of the continuation of the species. I think that’s what explains humanity’s greatest threat to its existence: liberals.

That explains a lot! :)
Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game.....
Of course, just because a psychologist invokes evolution doesn’t make it so. Likewise I could invoke evolution to explain my missing socks...
Or missing links.
Your article claims that prolonged childhood is a selective disadvantage and therefore proof against evolution? To prove this he chooses to use a child psychologist?? That’s silly to the absurd. Had he chosen to provide a compare/contrast dissertation about the advantages of rapid development vs. slow maturity in a natural setting it may have been at least compelling. I’m sorry, GGG. This one wasn’t worth your time to post. I’d like to see more of the literature research study article that you sometimes post. They are much more informative.
Thanks for posting this anyway.
Strange that you should finally see through the just-so stories of Darwinists.
Since the book by Gopnik is not yet released we must use the quotes from the "Seed" article. That said, the statement made by Gopnik excluding the final sentence, "The way that evolution seems to have solved this problem is by giving us this period of childhood where we dont have to do anything, where we are completely useless. Were free to explore the physical world, as well as possible worlds through imaginative play." seems to apply completely to Darwinists in the adult stage.
Gopnik seems not to have gone through the baby(toddler) stage, since it surprises her that babies can be smart. She also must not be a parent since she seems to be surprised that they can learn to do things. Finally, my grandson reminds me that toddlers have innate curiousity about the world. He quickly gravitates towards making any device with buttons and knobs perform actions undreamt of by their makers.
Just to comment further, babies are not useless.
As I said, my source is as reliable as the OP.
Thanks for agreeing.
As far as childhood somehow undermining TToE — only when you don’t understand science. This is the most specious “analysis” I have ever seen — even from one of these sister-to-WWN sites.
You think we should mention that all advanced animals go through a “childhood” period? Or do we want to just let them continue to think Humans are the only ones?
It is a popular-level article—not a science paper—that focuses on how the Evos often personify evolution in order to make sense of biological features that don’t make sense via the Darwinian mechanism of slow, incremental change.
==seems to apply completely to Darwinists in the adult stage.
LOLOLOL :o)
That article has nothing to do with anything.
Just like this one.
Sure it does. It demonstrates that the Evo-atheists are statistically the most likely publisher stories about Indian-loving aliens and winged cats.
You’re right. It’s tends to the masses. I guess it’s just my preference. Thanks.

You can’t read very well, can you?
*slaps self* Who am I talking to?
I withdraw the question.
