I've just got round to reading a recent article by Michael Le Page 
in New Scientist. His introduction is about as clear and concise as 
it gets in describing the factual nature of evolution and our common 
origins...

"It will soon be 200 years since the birth of Charles Darwin and 150 
years since the publication of 'On the Origin of Species', perhaps 
the most important book ever written. In it Darwin outlined an idea 
that many still find shocking: that all life on Earth, including us 
humans, evolved through natural selection. Darwin presented 
compelling evidence for evolution in 'On the Origin' and since his 
time the case has become utterly overwhelming. Countless fossil 
discoveries have allowed us to trace the evolution of today's 
organisms from earlier forms. DNA sequencing has confirmed beyond 
any doubt that all living creatures share a common origin. 
Innumerable examples of evolution in action can be seen all around 
us, from the famous pollution-matching pepper moth to the emergence 
of diseases such as AIDS and H5N1 bird flu. Evolution is as firmly 
established a scientific fact as the roundness of the Earth."

but facts, science, proof, evidence, fossils, reason and logic doesn't
mean shit to me, a brainwashed fundy idiot who believes in sky fairies

This is forgery. Dave in Lake Villa never wrote the message below. 
Pretending messages come from someone who didn't write them is very bad 
netiquette. For shame!
