It's not satire?
This is one area I find myself in complete agreement with Odin in... now this isn't right..
Better yet, have T-rex come and eat up the creationists like that lawyer was in Jurassic Park.
Evolution is a law of nature, Natural Selection and Genetic Drift are the theories. I am also annoyed by people who think humans are the pinicle of evolution.
Natural Selection has no preordained goal, it can only tweak species to help them in thier enviroment. Brain size is no more important then any other trait. our huge brains come at a high price, it uses 20% of our metabolism just to function.
That doesn't make us the pinicle of evolution any more then those glorified, orange carp (Goldfish) in my aquarium.
Human evolution is only slowing because of the lack of strong selection pressures (at leat in the industrialized world) as medicine has made people who would of died in infancy (PKU for example) treatible. Just because we are very unusual doesn't make us above other organisms. We are as just as well adapted for our ecological niche (large, grassland-dwelling omnivore) as any other organism is in it's niche.
