I've been participating in here for a long time now. And nothing changes. Religionists continue to assert that Science/Evolution/whathaveyou is false. Why? Because. They insist that the Bible is literally true, mostly true, true if you read it correctly, true if you interpret it correctly...

I accept evolution because I can see the evidence. I see that there are hundreds of thousands of fossils of creatures that once lived that are not here now. Plants, animals and insects... all extinct. But they were alive. Which means they had parents. Likely, they had children...

Link We are not alone. An unknown group of archaic humans interbred with our more modern species in Africa thousands of years ago, contributing DNA that is still with us, according to a new scientific paper. These ghosts within our genome are revising the history of Homo sapiens, which once...
