why I don't believe in evolution

Aside from the obvious, like God outranking Darwin (which makes me more inclined to believe God's creation story versus Darwin's), I have a couple really great theories on why evolution is ridiculous.

PREHENSILE TAILS

Where did they go? Lesser intelligent monkeys have them, but you get to the apes and chimps and there are no tails to be found. So science expects us to believe that years and years of disuse led to the shedding of a tail out of non-necessity?

Have you seen how much little monkeys use those things? A tail is like a 5th appendage - it's in constant use. Why would nature get rid of it? It just seems foolish.

What I wouldn't give for a prehensile tail.

Wanna know why else I think evolution is a bunch of hooey?

OPPOSABLE TOES

A chimpanzee can peel a banana using only it's feet while picking fleas off it's neighbor with it's hands. I have a hard time believing that's not a skill humans could use.

How many mothers do you know wishes she had more than two hands? Especially for banana peeling. And think about how easy french braiding would be.

So see, when you think about it logically, evolution just seems stupid.

Although I really wouldn't have minded if God created me with a bit longer toes so that it made picking things off the floor with my feet easier. A tail wouldn't have been a bad idea either.

I actually have what a friend has affectionally called "monkey toes." I've been known to pull weeds with them while chatting on the phone and watching the kids play outside. And to pick things up off the floor if my hands are full, or I'm feeling weird.

Tails would definately be useful! And if we'd always had them we wouldn't think they looked weird on humans. Think of all the disciplining you could do. Moms have eyes in the back of their head, but to have a TAIL for the enforcing would be marvelous!!! And think of being in the car!!! You could actually hand your kids their sippy cup or a toy from your bag and have both hands on the wheel.

Darwin was definately an idiot. Moms need tails and opposable toes. And if we really "got rid" of things we didn't need, why do we still have appendixes?

p.s. too bad you live in ID. If you lived in Utah, I might actually come clean your house. I'm not a "real" cleaner, but for some reason, I enjoy cleaning other people's house. I know. I'm a freak.

Totally with you on this one. One hand/foot for each child. It's the perfect ratio.

Your deep thinking astounds me. I have no doubt that NASA will soon be calling. Get ready for that...

Wow. You really need to get involved in the scholarly discussions going on about this subject.

Wonder woman, too. That is one terrific comment.

I actually have things I like to call "finger toes". They're like long fingers attached to my feet. Akward? yes! Useful? That too!

As far as tails go, I'd like to have a big ol' kangaroo-like tail. That might actually help me stay balanced. I have an orthostatic hypotension problem (low blood pressure when standing so I get faint and unbalanced) and I kinda sorta tip over occasionally, not usually all the way over. Just enough to look drunken. Funny? probably to people who watch me lose my balance just standing there!
Dude, you're my new favorite blogger.

And sign me up for a freaking tail!

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

little pieces of my heart will be for sale at D.I.

I have this thing about my kids clothes. The thing is, I LIKE BUYING THEM CLOTHES. I get in trouble frequently for this. It's just that the old ones get so boring after awhile. And I hate it when the really cheap clothes look like poop after washing them a couple of times. Luckily, I live in a city that has outlet stores. I love outlet stores (and Ebay!) Alot of the time you can find higher quality clothes for Walmart prices so how could I NOT buy them? It would be like wasting money for me NOT to get a couple $4 shirts at OshKosh. Right? RIGHT?!! The problem is - we have tiny closets. Miniature, puny, ridiculous, TINY closets. The other problem is - I have saved EVERYTHING. Not only are the kids' closets chuck full of stuff, but we have multiple rubbermaid bins in our garage full of baby clothes they've all grown out of. Also, we may not be having any more children. And I say "may not" because if I say "for sure not" someone will have to co
