While typing on a device that flashes their ignorance across the globe in a nanosecond?
The term "ironic" is far too mild.

It might be amusing, if it didn't underscore just how breathtakingly illiterate most Americans are as to basic science.

I find it annoying that so many of them already know that they completely disagree with it, and yet they have absolutely no idea what it even IS. Look at Kent Hovind for example; this guy (before he was in jail, anyway) made a career going around the country talking about how creationism is true and evolution is false. And yet, if you asked him to define evolution, he would give you a definition that included "monkeys giving birth to humans" or "fish morphing into reptiles". This guy has absolutely no idea what evolution is and yet he knows he doesn't like it. It's irritating.
Remember that Kirk Cameron debate? He had barely spoken five words and I could already tell that he didn't know what he was talking about. I'm not even kidding; it was obvious, before he had even completed his first sentence, that he knew nothing about the subject.
I wish I could find that amusing, but I just can't. It's just too annoying.

Evolution is a theory. It is generally agreed to be an accurate description of the way life developed, based on all the available evidence and methods of analyzing that evidence. It is not written in stone and will change and develop as new findings and methods are found.

Yes, it does take extremely selective vision to deny evolution. However, christians are used to seeing only the evidence they want in only the way that they want. Ironic is not a bad word for this.

I find it funny that both groups creationists and evolutionist take the issue so darn seriously. Neither is proved. There is no proof that man evolved from apes or that whales used to be land mammals. Evolution is still in the theory stage and has become one more dogma to believe in just as the creationist ideas. Both ideas are dogmas to believe in against some other dogma. I personally think both dogmas are irrelavent to todays society. Neither help us be better humans beings or help us create better societies. So they are just worthless dogmas to fight over.
The very fact that you "believe" clouds your judgement from what is actually true. Don't believe, don't disbelieve and you just might find the truth.

Not so much funny "ha ha" as funny "wow."
I couldn't help but notice how someone erroneously equated science with fact. There is just one example of the problem. She also claimed that Christians have studied what they believe, which is quite often not the case in the slightest.

No, it horrifies me that they deny evolution while accepting all the fruits of biological science that is based on it being right. I think creationists need to only take vaccines developed before the theory of evolution was first developed. Or develop their own vaccine that works against the virus "kind" while us evolutionists suffer with developing new vaccines to combat each new strain of virus.

Well considering that most people pay their taxes just like everyone else. I think it's better that we challenge our fellow "science of evolution?"
So if we pay their salaries and they make more in a day then the average person makes in a week, and we are paying for it. I want to see some real work out of them.
You would believe we came from chimpanzees or there relatives without any proof? Where are the bones of the computer generated program of the process of evolution? ITS A COMPUTER PROGRAM, you do know that right.
We have similar DNA, SIMILAR, Not exact.
There is a missing link...Oh yeah..thats the proof...
They believe they know where most of them migrated too when the evolution process started...why are they not on their hands and knees digging for their proof? We pay for it!!
Get a grip...Stop believing everything you read in your local newspaper and start asking questions....real questions...

Yes, the irony is amusing. But it is also frustrating when you try to talk to them, and they act like we're speaking a different and evil language. I feel like they're going to hurl holy water at me any day now. LOL
