Evolution and Shaving

[AV1611VET]

Shouldn't evolutionists who shave be reminded of what they used to look like?

Or would that put the shaving industry out of business?

I am pretty sure, AV1611VET, that you would classify me as an "evolutionist", and I can assure you that a razor has not touched my face in forty years. Shaving became popular when Alexander "the Great" wanted to look younger for his boyfriends. When a chimp or a baboon wishes to show submission, he turns around and presents his [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. When a human wishes to show submission, he shaves.

I went to see the doctor recently and she asked me if I was a scientist. Her reasoning was that I hadn't shaved for about two weeks and that is, apparently, typical of scientists. I suppose my spectacles and field gear type clothing added to the impression but I was still a bit nonplussed to be honest.

Does the same thing go for christians who shave?

Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

Were you wearing a pocket protector?

I'm sure I am right when I say this, (for my part anyway) the only people who talk about evolution are creationists, people who accept evolution rarely even mention it.

Creationist it seems are obsessed with it because they must know (by now) that they are fighting a fight they can never win, not that winning has ever been the aim,
the aim has always been to keep the believers thinking they are going to win soon, generations of believers all hear the same tired worn out words their parents heard before them, lucky for creationists there are no thinkers or people with memories amongst them or they might just think 'I have been here before and I got knocked back the last time as well, is it possible that I could be wrong? should I check this argument out?'.

You may be certain, but you are, in this case. obviously wrong. Don't feel bad. Certainty, like anger or lust, has nothing to do with evidence. It is a neurological response to mental exhaustion, or fear. When thought becomes difficult or causes emotional discomfort, people become certain, shutting off thought.
Biologists discuss evolution all the time. Evolution is a fascinating subject, and The Origin of Species was a more revolutionary work than Newton's Principia. Moreover, what creationists "talk about" is not evolution, it is a straw-man that has nothing to do with evolution except the use of the term, and is based on either a misunderstanding or a deliberate misrepresentation of evolution.
Religion is a refusal to confront reality. And just as the Hebrews mutilate their genitals to bind them socially, and others shave their faces to indicate social submission, religious folks mutilate their intellects to show their submission to the group. As some wag wonce remarked, "It isn't really religion if it isn't absurd." Christians, for instance, assert with a straight face that their god impregnated his own mother with himself as the offspring. I remember a humorous song form my youth called I'm My Own Grampaw, but Christians do that one generation better with a straight face. To anyone who is not a Christian this dogma is simply ridiculous, but to Christians this is a fundamental article of faith, one of several such beliefs that are nonsensical to "the worldly mind."

If I want to be reminded of what I looked like, I only need to look at the photos of me. (Or look in the mirror , though the image in the mirror is only about 3 nanoseconds old)

Were you wearing a pocket protector?

Yep, and a button with a red circle and a line through it on top of the word "Pluto."

Leviticus 19:27 said:
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

Sun-god priests would shave a circular bald spot on their heads to identify themselves as priests of Ra. The Egyptians would also shape and wrap their beards into a phallic symbol.

It is thought that the skull cap worn by Catholic priests and Jews (the beanie and yamaka) is a remnant of that ancient idolatrous priesthood, and was (ironically) intended to protect the shaved area of the head from exposure to the hot sun.

I have photographs reminding me of my younger appearance. I lacked easily visible hair on most of my body. There was there, but it grew thinner and and much shorter strand life.

I am an offspring of a line of thick hair on the top of the head, but lacking thickness and volume on the body.

Humans vary, but I would guess that it has been many many generations since typical full body thick strand hair to be normal.

Anyone who shaves to look younger is lying.

That's a weird generalization.

How does that work?
