From the concept of amino acids coming together to form proteins, then morphing into single celled animals is an incredible feat. From single cell animals to multiple cell animals is nothing more than a parlor trick, as long as each cell has access to the environment.
When life that was two cells thick made the quantum leap to specialized organs, Katie bar the door all kinds of wacky things were in the midst.
From amoebas to ants, from ants to lawyers, from lawyers to people with souls… Quantum leap, after quantum leap, after quantum leap.
When evolutionary powers were applied to celebrities, we now have amateur celebrities… a higher form of celebrity, something we clearly needed. Traditional celebrities add value to our lives by their ability to read scripts, sing, pout or have impossibly high cheekbones. Amateur celebrities exploit their status as victims or fools in exchange for "fame".
Thank you very much, you've been a great audience… Drive safely that's as far as evolution can take us.
What if, evolution exists beyond our planet, beyond our comprehension? What if there is a being as far beyond our level of sophistication, as we are beyond amoebas? Beyond the sophistication of Barbra Streisand, beyond the moral complexity of Keith Olbermann and beyond even the transformative leader called President Obama… What would we call this being?
People with Darwin Fish on the back of their cars do so in an attempt to show irony and intellectual superiority. Would the same people be willing to show a caricature of Mohammed as a cab driver or clerk at a 7-11?
Mocking people's faith is not a value. Intellectual curiosity should be advanced beyond political agendas.
