...why don't my shoes fit properly? If Darwin was such a smartypants, why haven't my feet evolved to fit my shoes?
I feel like such a heel.Bushido216 said:I... I cannot explain this. My extensive knowledge of biological evolution has not prepared me for this question. Prax has, in one fell swoop, totally upended everything I had thought I knew. I cannot comprehend this universal flux! What is to become of my faith in science?
Well, that's easy for you to say, isn't it? You've obviously already evolved your brain.Double_Yolker said:What a dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb question! I mean really. Maybe if you had evolved a brain, you would of bought the right sized shoes to begin with...
Let's not be hasty.Sanguine said:I'll call Stockholm
You silly goose, Darwin clearly outlined this problem in Chapter 6:Praxiteles said:Well, that's easy for you to say, isn't it? You've obviously already evolved your brain.
My feet obviously cannot survive, since they aren't fit. Or don't fit. One of the two.
Then, he answers it in Chapter 7:Darwin said:However, I ponder this question as I look down at my shod feet "Why don't feet evolve to fit the shoes?" I wracked my brain for days, unable to contemplate such an obviously teasing question. Unfortunately, this would plague me for many years.
Darwin said:The shoe problem has suddenly occured to me, and I attack it with great vigor!! The reason why our feet don't evovle to fit our shoes is because there is not enough time in the human life for this to happen! Feet needs millions, if not billions of years to adapt perfectly to the shoe environment! Ah, I am such a genius, clearly God does not exist.

Then, he answers it in Chapter 7:
That is just a creationist conspiracy to throw you off track from the truth. But don't worry about it, we can solve your dilemma. Reach way up into the toe of the shoe and remove a big wad of paper that you will find there. They just put that in the shoe for shipping. When you get them home, you can safely remove it without any fear of consequences. In fact, the shoe will fit a lot better now. Give it a try, you maybe be amazed.Praxiteles said:...why don't my shoes fit properly?
Exactly!USincognito said:If we came from Monkeys, why don't monkeys wear shoes?

An example of Irrelevant Design (ID) if ever there was one! You Revolutionsits just keep digging yourselves deeper, don't you?USincognito said:Two words Prax - Vel Crow.

And toeing the line...USincognito said:Yes, but only by digging in our heels.
I'll have you know that I just spewed a McDonald's Triplethick Chocolate milkshake across my keyboard.Praxiteles said:I think you're making this up. Anyway, Darwin decanted on his flowerbed, didn't he?
I'm sorry about the concurrent waste of milkshake and keyboard - but the TRUTH must OUT.HRE said:I'll have you know that I just spewed a McDonald's Triplethick Chocolate milkshake across my keyboard.
