Human evolution, the sexy way

Blog Guy, I have a question about the whole Darwinism/creationism debate, and I know you are educated in both science and theology.

My problem is, I think both of those theories are kind of gross. I mean, amphibians, apes, men’s ribs, neanderthals crawling out of slime…

So where on earth did really attractive people come from? You think models like Gisele Bundchen evolved from a frickin’ chimpanzee?

You raise a very valid point, and timely as well. Runway models clearly evolved separately from regular mortals.

You should go see a very special Fashion Week tableau in Milan, which addresses this dilemma.

Check out the combo shot above. Slender, gorgeous models did once crawl on all fours, but in a graceful way.

Then, with considerable poise, they rose to their knees, discovered sizzling hot stiletto shoes, put them on and walked away, pouting and flouncing.

Hmmm. I don’t know.

Hey, they couldn’t show it in Milan if it wasn’t true.

“some agnostic guy”
asked:
“Question for Joseph…”Who was the mother of Cain & Abel’s children?”

A.
“… Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters” (Genesis 5:4)

Cain & Abel would have found a wife among their sisters.

It was not until much later, in the days of Moses,
when God prohibited sexual relations with close relatives:
e.g.
Leviticus 18
(partial quote)
6 ” ‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
. . .
9 ” ‘Do not have sexual relations with your sister,
. . .
11 ” ‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife,
born to your father; she is your sister.

Hey, let’s not be hasty here. If I could get comments from everybody who has an opinion on evolution, my pageviews would at least double…

People, I would gracefully invite you all to take this discussion where it belongs, away from a humour blog, please… some of us are distracted by the seriousness of the discussion!

Question for Joseph

God made Adam & Eve, they were the only people on earth. They had two boys, Cain & Abel. Who was the mother of Cain & Abel’s children?

Correction:
the last word
in the 5th line should be plural (parents)
“i.e.
… they are descendants of our first parents:”

- Posted by Joseph

The article contains the question:
” … where on earth did really attractive people come from?

A very accurate history book,
the Bible,
gives us the answer:
i.e. … they are descendants of our first parent:

Genesis 1

27… God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them,
“Be fruitful and increase in number … ”

Although, being a ‘devout Christian’ (according to some websites), she’d be into creationism wouldn’t she?

I wonder if she’ll drop by to explain, or if THREE celebrities commenting on one blog would be too much.
