Theory is a blind man in a dark room.


by Kevin Church

National Geographic posts a video on MySpace about Neanderthals playing games and making glue. You can probably guess what happens when some people are confronted with the idea that we weren’t born wearing Abercrombie and Fitch khakis and driving hybrid cars.

Jordan’s apparently upset as this goes against their own theories:

they say people are getting dumber not smarter. are bodies are getting weaker, and are food has less nutrion. so why would I believe that my ancestors were neanderthals? they have no proof of them and what little evidence they say they have, is false

Joewald feels the need to engage such pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo with:

Well you’re right about one thing Jordan. People are getting dumber . You personally, are a fantastic example. The words “our” and “are” aren’t even supposed to be synonyms, and you somehow confuse the two.

Jordan, of course, is unhappy at having their grammar mocked and comes up with this bon mot after discovering that his or her shift key may or may not work:

I admit my grammar is not the best. notice that everything they say is a theory, and theory is a blind man in a dark room, looking for a black cat that isn’t there. if God does not exsist then why is everyone trying so hard to disprove it?

Mike responds with:

you ask why we are trying to disprove god?so people will stop lieng to themselves and killing eachother of completely foolish beliefs,and btw,a theory means all evidence points to it,and in a few decades humans will have no pinky toes,there is proof

Apparently he didn’t attend the same school as JoeWald. Thankfully, we have a voice of reason in Trevor:

Theory is something that is basically true, but there really isn’t any way to prove it…Gravity is a theory, but you can’t really prove it because it’s impossible.

My personal favorite, however, comes from someone known only as…TWISTED.

evolution IS intelligent design

and UFO’s are actually time machines; “aliens” are us from the future

peace out

  1. Peace out indeed, TWISTED. Peace out indeed.

  2. There’s something oddly appropriate about the asian mail-order bride ad on the side of the page.

    Congrats on continuing your domination of the internet (and my work-day) Kevin.

  3. Nicely enough for a post featuring much mangled language, your first sentence had to be read (by stupid me at least) several times before I worked it out. I had visions of Neanderthals using MySpace to play games and somehow make glue, and a part of me was thinking, “Where did they find these Neanderthals..?”

  4. Bah. I’m waiting for the first round of Neanderthal glue-maker fan fic. Dueling fan-fic, that is.

  5. Fixed that for you, JRSM.

  6. Awwwgh, why did you do this us, Kevin, why? Another website that angries up the blood! So much ignorant bile spewed, completely ignoring the fact that the (rather silly) video specifically said that Neanderthals weren’t ‘our’ ancestors at all.

    Anyway, now I know there’s no ‘proof’ for gravity, I suppose I better float on over to work.
