I know. Straight to the point.

Sir Frederick Hoyle (the British astronomer who coined the term “Big Bang” .

The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 naughts after it... It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence.(1981)

What an moronically ignorant statement that is. Darwinian evolution considers the origin of species, not the origin of life.

As much as I like ants, they are fascist monarchists, not communists.

Really? I always looked upon the little buggers as communists.

Moar explanation please!

The ultimate goal of communism is to lead towards a non-hierarchical society. Ant hierarchy is pretty much inalienable. Queen runs the show (monarchy) and everyone else is subservient.

From Wikipedia: Fascists seek to rejuvenate their nation based on commitment to the national community as an organic entity, in which individuals are bound together in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.

Fascist monarchy.

I live in hope though that one day a common worker ant will risk it all and attempt to solidify the workers of the ant world in opposition to the unjust system. Unfortunately I suspect that they will rely heavily on the soldier ants to accomplish this. Then it seems somewhat tragically inevitable that there will be a mustachioed soldier ant in there somewhere who dreams only of becoming the defacto fascist monarchy himself, but will ride in on the concepts of communism until he is strong enough to make his move.

Ant Gulags... That's all I'm sayin'.

hierarchical structure where no one individual is more important that any other except the queen and then not even her so much since they always have at least another couple of queens waiting to take over.

Every life form on the planet evolves to suit the environment that it is living in. If it doesnt it will eventually die out.

No. With this sentence you have shown a complete lack of knowledge or understanding about the theory of evolution.

Actually, it doesn't.

We are descended from both apes, and also prior to that - earlier primates which could be described as monkeys if they lived today.

I see absolutely no need to dispute that homo sapiens are descended from monkeys. We just aren't descended from modern monkeys.

I actually know somebody who doesn't believe in eveloution, needless to say we no longer talk.

Evolution means that Adam and Eve were black, and people wonder why the yanks hate the theory :pac:

Mice are the most intelligent life forms on the planet and are the inspiration for Fight Club apparently:

Mice are the physical protrusions into our dimension of a race of hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings who commissioned construction of the Earth to find the Question to the Ultimate Answer of Life, the Universe, and Everything. As such, they are the most intelligent life form on that planet.
In their home dimension, a popular sport is Brockian Ultra-Cricket, a horribly violent game which involves hitting people for no readily apparent reason and then running away, before apologising from some distance - often through a megaphone. However, it is completely unrelated except in name to the earth sport of cricket.
