@daogdaog as sum1 already pointed out its not a spelling mistake its misquoting because your vocabulary is so lacking you failed to register the correct word for the saying, if you had sufficient language skills you would know the difference between figment and pigment, just let it go you are in way over your head, you used the word vestigial which is the negative effect evolution has had on biological function in an argument against evolution...........try using a dictionary or ask for help

@daogdaog trying to sound clever yet looking like a total idiot well done "pigment" LMFAO loser go back to school(bibe school) evidence of the lower intelligence common amoungst the religious, low brain power is the reason you swallow the fairytale of the bible

@iz2sicc hehe, buttfuckflyingpanda, i must start a religion about that.

@halflifeproductionz You're right though. The overwhelming majority of scientists and the institutions they work under/support are wrong. But you and your creationist friends are right. You do science a gross injustice, but at the same time you reap all the benefits that science provides you. But yea, you're right and they are wrong. God or Gods or ButtFuckFlyingPanda did it all. Evolution is bullshit and invisible 3Titty Monsters are real. Yup, I'm the idiot.

@halflifeproductionz I answered your questions just fine. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I debate people like you for the fence sitters that might be reading this. You responded to my civil comments with an ad hominem. Insult me all you want, it does not make you right or even logical. I will match your fire with fire though. You call people idiots and pricks just because you don't understand basic science. You believe in a God yet you act worse than someone who doesn't.

[halflifeproductionz]

@iz2sicc i don't live by any holy book you prick. You don't even provide any answers my questions and instead resort to stupid statements.

[iz2sicc]

@halflifeproductionz Whatever, religion is religion. Either way, you act like the rest of them. Down to the personal insults. How divine of you.

[halflifeproductionz]

@iz2sicc you sure are an idiot. i never said i was a christian or part of any religion or dogma. I'm more likely a deist.

[iz2sicc]

@halflifeproductionz For your religion's sake, let's hope if that we ever do make contact with other intelligent life forms, they are also Christian.

[halflifeproductionz]

@iz2sicc well thats interesting because the planet keppler 22b may be an answer to life outside of earth. I think its an even more greater reason for god's existence because we are the only high intelligent species that we know of in the universe. We'd probably find other animals on other planets but i don't think we'd find an intelligent animal like us anywhere else. I could be wrong.

[iz2sicc]

@halflifeproductionz Because our species evolved a more intelligent brain in order to survive. Monkeys and gorillas did not. Answer this one: why did God create such an expansive Universe where, if there are other intelligent life forms, it's nearly impossible to contact each other?

[halflifeproductionz]

@iz2sicc again your missing the point. There could be a creator guiding our evolution, he is using natural processes. Why is it that the common ancestor lead to homo sapiens and the other being monkeys and gorillas? the latter is definitely less intelligent than we are.
