My best mate came round to my house. I've known him for about 20 years. We agree on almost everything since we grew up together and we're almost like brothers. I always thought he had the same kind of mind as me but last night just took the piss.

He'd had a few beers, and he started talking about science. He said, "you know what's bollocks?... Evolution". I was like, "what the fuck?". He said he doesn't believe that we evolved into what we are today and now believes that it's more likely that aliens, or some kind of god put us here...
Then he said, "if we're supposed to have evolved from monkeys, then how come there are still monkeys in the forest that haven't evolved into humans yet"...

At first I thought he was joking, but he really wasn't!
I couldn't even argue back because I was that shocked at what I'd just heared him say. I couldn't put into words how stupid I thought he was!

It's one thing reading idiots say stuff like that on the internet, but when it's in your own house it's a completely different story.

I think I'm going to have to burn him alive.

at least he didnt say the words "intelligent design"

It is not that they are "Still" monkeys. It is because they survived best as monkeys. Its not that evolution doesn't exist it is that your friend doesn't understand the concept behind it.

Yeah exactly, that's what I was trying to say but I couldn't put it into words. He said, "How come crocodiles have stayed the same for ever", I told him it's because they're already at their best and they don't need to change. If they started living in different enviroments that they're used to, they would evolve. Fucking hell, I never knew that he was so fucking dumb.

Kick him in the balls, perhaps it was the beer confusing him. Try again when he is sober if you are that bothered.

I can't kick that high, his dick is on his head...

Reminds me of when my Uncle came over and we were arguing about the Iraq war. I was saying that oil was a clear factor but the political scenario was a bit more complicated han any one specific factor. He totally did not agree with the oil thing and then he said, "if they wanted Saddam's (sic) oil so bad, why didn't they just buy it all." My mouth dropped, I shook my head and didn't talk for about five minutes. I just didn't know what to say. The guy was like 40 at the time, surely he couldn't be that dumb...

Anyway, all Rock Societies suck. Any benefits from them are merely coincidental.

Does that basically make him a scientologist? :mrgreen:

No, they believe that all our negative energy is dead aliens' souls, not that we were put here by aliens.

Has anyone read Space Odyssey? The first section with that black object that comes down to the apemen and controls their minds to make them practice throwing things and use different sections of their brain to give them an advantage over the other ape men and eventually evolve. That's how it happened.

But seriously, how is evolution a hard concept to grasp? I really don't understand how people can't understand. If they don't, I don't think they're grasping the time scale over which this happens.

Well spoked. You know scientology was made up by an author (I forget who) as part of one of his books (I forget which). It was a fake religion for the story, just as you have fake people in a story, and the basic idea of including it, if I understand correctly, was to generally display how dumb organised religion is. Ah, the irony!

Huddersfield uni doesn't have a rock soc. I might start one next year and hand pick knobheads to be thrown out.

One of my faves when driving a stopping train out of Paddington is stopping at Ealing Broadway and a queue of people form at my window.

The first person asks "Do you stop at Southall?"
"Yes" I reply.
The second person asks "Do you stop at Southall?"
"Yes" I reply.
The third person asks "Do you stop at Southall?"
"YES" I scream (customer care is not my forte).

Then i just shut the doors and piss off!!! (time is money)

No, I'm at Sheffield Hallam. Our bassist's girlfriend is at Sheffield so we're gonna invade their gay club and cause trouble.
