Amen to that, brother.

So in a Ying and Yang balance to yesterdays Evolution rant, I'm going to rant about Religion. Not your everyday faithful person, but your extremists.... The people who give other religious people a bad name. I mean who, when I say Muslim, doesn't think of terrorists or bombs? Or when I say Christian, doesn't think of people getting exorcised on street corners? Or if I said Jews, doesn't think Greedy Tax-Collectors? These people give us a bad name. We are not all like them. We're just ordinary people living out our religious little lives. And no offence to the extremists. I'm extremely glad that your so proud about your faith. But could you tone it down slightly? I mean, I think the world can do without mobs of screaming religious protesters for one day, don't you think?

Off the topic of ranting now, and onto something quite different. Today's episode of the One Show. Amy Pond was on it! Well, not Amy Pond, the person who plays Amy Pond who is Karen Gillian. Just so everyone knows, Amy Pond is my favourite Doctor Who assistant.... Of all time. Evar! They also showed a clip of tomorrows episode, so I am totally hyped for that.... Well, I'm now going for a bit of Halo ODST and Rainbow 6: Las Vegas.... Fun times!

Evolution is only real in Pokémon.

Right, here we go. I'm gonna have a rant. As you can see by the Title, it's gonna be about evolution
I do not believe in evolution. Not one bit. At all. The theory that we evolved from fish is ludicrous. For people to say that I was once a fish makes me slightly offended. And it's not all because of my religious beliefs, it goes against everything. I'll make a list.

1. The only thing I share with a fish is a short term memory. Nothing else.
2. And for the fish to even adapt to breathe on land, how did that happen? I mean it couldn't have just wondered up the shore one day and started breathing in air. And then if it grew prone to breathing air underwater, how on earth did it do that?!
3. This also means that the fish had to go through a chromosomal mutation. Carp fish have 104 chromosomes, we have 46. Now, it would have to have lost 58 chromosomes. That fish would never have survived therefore it would never have been able to breed and pass on this freakish fish anomaly.

I do however believe in adaptation, where an animal will slightly change to suit its surroundings. That's more believable as we can see it even in humans. People who lived in hotter, sunnier countries adapted by getting increasingly darker skins so that they would not burn so easily and reduce the risk of skin cancer. But one species cannot change into another. And now onto a reference to Pokémon, each Pokémon "evolves" into another but i think no, it adapts. Take a Charmander. It will evolve into a slightly bigger Charmeleon which is stronger, more capable to fight. It adapted to this. It didn't evolve. If the Fire/Dragon type Charmander turned into a Steel/Water type Sheep, then yes this would be evolution. But it didn't, it turned into a Charmeleon.

(These three rock by the way)

The Big Bang Theory is another matter though, It says no-where in the bible how the Universe was made. Just how the Earth and life on it was created. My theory is that God and Chuck Norris knuckletouched and the pure awesomeness created mass and matter.

So that's my rant.... You should expect a lot more, I have a lot of them. But I'll probably do one on religion tomorrow. To even things out...
