"I seriously doubt the man, (or marginal ape, as it were) knows what evolution actually is!"

No organism knows what evolution is from individual experience. They only know life or death, success in breeding or failure.

The individual elements of a painting don't know what the overall image is. They can only be darker or lighter in certain frequencies.

All of our problems of perception have to do with scale. The unending enormities of the Universe, and the limitless grandeur of time beyond the human span, make knowing true relationships a matter of having inadequate comprehensional skills and abilities.

Possibly it's true that you won't see the big picture by looking through a microscope. But you also won't see it if you don't open your eyes.

Brilliant, which begs the quetion, why do liberals always exclaim 100% of the time it’s “settled science”, anyone that disagrees with them is anti-science, (not even getting into what gives them the idea they and they alone have all the keys to science as no one else) and that any and every criticism of evolution is attacked as relgious assualts on science?

Unless of course what you’re saying somehow doesn’t apply to liberals?

OR has everything to do with God and nothing to do with science?
