Default Creation and "Darwinism" are both wrong!

Biblical creationism isn't the only serious challenge to us evil Darwinists:

"Humanity did not evolve from monkeys or apes but, like them, either arrived on Earth intact or developed here as a result of extraterrestrial intervention"

Some of the gems from this Nexus Magazine ("an international bi-monthly alternative news magazine, covering the fields of - Health Alternatives; Suppressed Science; Earth's Ancient Past; UFOs & the Unexplained; and Government Cover-Ups.") article, titled DARWINISM : A Crumbling Theory:

"If anything riles Creationists and Darwinists alike, it's the suggestion they might be wrong about how we humans have come to dominate our planet so thoroughly. Both sides can tolerate substantial criticisms regarding the wide array of subjects under their purviews, including the kind of critique I gave the origins of life in Part One. However, they have no toleration for challenges to their shared hegemony over the beginnings of us all..."

"Science assumes that monkeys evolved from prosimians, even though evidence of that transition is nowhere in sight. In fact, there is strong evidence pointing in the other direction, toward the dreaded stasis of punctuated equilibrium. "

"Lucy and her Australopithecus relatives were little more than upright-walking chimpanzees. The robust australopithecines were bipedal gorillas. The genus Homo (habilis, erectus, Neanderthals and other debatable species) was a distinct upgrade, but still nowhere near the ballpark of humanity. Only when the Cro-Magnons appear, as suddenly and inexplicably as everything else, at around 120,000 years ago in the fossil record, do we see beings that are unmistakably human...Darwinists use the missing link to negate the fact that Cro-Magnons appear out of nowhere, looking nothing like anything that has come before."

"We are further brainwashed to believe there are no bipedal apes alive in the world today, despite hundreds of sightings and/or encounters with such bipedal apes every year on every continent except Antarctica. Darwinists brainwash us to ignore such reports by showering them with ridicule. They call such creatures "impossible", and hope the weight of their credentials can hold reality at bay long enough for them to figure out what to do about the public relations catastrophe they will face when the first hominoid is brought onto the world stage--dead or alive. That will be the darkest day in Darwinist history, because their long charade will be officially over. The truth will finally be undeniable. Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman and several relatives are absolutely real.

I'm not going to waste time and space here going over the mountain of evidence that is available in support of hominoid reality. I cover it extensively in the third part of my book, Everything You Know Is Wrong, and there are many other books that cover one or more aspects of the subject. If you care to inform yourself about the reality of hominoids, you won't have any trouble doing so. And the evidence is solid enough to hold up in any court in the world, except the court of public opinion manipulated by terrified Darwinists."

"This list could go on to cite many more areas of difference, but all of them are overshadowed by the Big Kahuna of primate/human difference: all primates have 48 chromosomes, while humans have "only" 46 chromosomes. Two entire chromosomes represent a heck of a lot of DNA removed from the human genome, yet somehow that removal made us "superior" in countless ways. It doesn't make sense. Nor does the fact that even with two whole chromosomes missing from our genome, we share what is now believed to be 95% of the chimp genome and around 90% of the gorilla genome. How can those numbers be made to reconcile? They can't.

Something is wrong here. Someone has been cooking the genetic books."

"I believe that the facts, if fairly evaluated, will over time prove that humans--and indeed, life itself--did not originate on Earth, and that nothing has macroevolved on Earth. It has all been brought here and left to fend for itself, then replaced when events required the introduction of new forms. No other theory suits the facts nearly as well...We humans are not indigenous to planet Earth. We were either put here intact or we developed here, but we did not evolve here. Our genes make clear that we've been cut-and-pasted from other, non-primate, non-Earthly species. "

That's right, I'm just sitting here utterly terrified that someone will discover Bigfoot. Oh dear god please no. That will utterly destroy my whole world.

Now on a less sarcastic note, does anyone have the slightest clue what this nut is talking about? How exactly would Bigfoot refute evolution? I wish people would tell these jackasses that "darwinists" (a.k.a. scientists) in general don't give a shit about who is right but rather what is right. No one's whole world revolves around a given theory (or at least it shouldn't). You simply go where the evidence points. If one day the evidence points somewhere else, it shouldn't make you sad or angry, it should make you happy that you've discovered/learned something new and important.

Neandertals "nowhere near the ballpark of humanity"??? Hasn't there been an ongoing debate over whether they can even be classified as a separate species from H. sapiens?

There's a faint hope that this nutcase is really a shuck from start to finish; there's an old Firesign Theatre album called Everything You Know Is Wrong! that sounds remarkably like his ravings.

Of course, even if this one is just trying to jerk the chains of the gullible, there are umpteen hundred thousand more out there that are true-blue believers in any mad nonsense we care to name...

If humans evolved from hominoids, how come there are still hominoids?

I like this hypothesis better:

The Legend of GWAR began millions of years ago when the aliens rampaged across the galaxy with a gang of space pirates called the Scumdogs of the Universe. Falling out of favor with their Master, GWAR was imprisoned on the most remote mudball planet in the galaxy...Earth. After killing off the dinosaurs and inadvertently creating the human species by raping prehistoric apes,

If I'm not mistaken, Neandertal is now classified as a sub-species: Homo sapiens neandertalis

Now, I will go back to the artical. I've not had this good a laugh in a while.

That's correct, which makes me wonder, does this mean that it is hypothesised that Homo sapens neandertalis could interbreed with the sapiens sapiens subspecies? If not, then why a subspecies and not a species in it's own right?

Dunno. But the last I've read about it, it seems that the argument as to whether H.s.sapiens absorbed Neandertal through inter-breeding or just killed them off through competition (and weaponry), is still going strong.

Me, I'd like to think there's a little Neandertal in all of us. Which ain't science, but a little wishful dreaming.
