Don't you get tired of these political dodges. It's really
obvious that you are just pretending to understand any of
this. You can only get so far with pretense. Real
scientists--myself being a perfect example--are always looking
to flesh out the details and test them against the evidence.
Vagueness is the hallmark of the believer. Same goes for your
propaganda tactics. Such tactics are inconsistent with a calm,
rational examination of the evidence.
Evolutionary theory is EXTREMELY complex. You can't get better
at it unless you are willing to address it in an
intellectually honest manner.
So, do this. Take a deep breath and explain to us in a calm
rational manner why--IYHO--why our earliest A'pith ancestors
transitioned from a quadrupedal to bipedal while they still
resided in treed habitat.
Don't whine. Don't fret. Don't cry. It's not that big of a
deal. If you are so sure you are right then provide us the
details and let the chips fall where they may.
