Forget about creationists mutilating science, I just "discussed" evolution with two atheists on a gaming site (don't start). Here are some pearls I got:

We kind of like evolved, from apes.

The common ancestor of humans and was an ape.

Notice how the second picture has two separate lines making Homo Erectus...
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

Darth Executor,
The diagram IS a bit confusing. Here is a much better one.

"Creationists" don't mutilate science. n00bs do.

Hmmm ... I was under the impression that h. neandertalis split off before h. heidelbergensis. Learn something new every day.

It's not just a bit confusing, it's plain wrong. You can't have two branches unite to form anything short of a freak accident.

Re: Our children is learning.
I think you are misunderstanding the figure. The junction of the two lines represents a presumed but undiscovered ancestor of which gave rise to H. erectus and H. heidelbergensis. Since the time becomes more recent as you move up the figure, there is no "uniting" occuring. Originally posted by Darth Executor

Actually, yes you can: if two populations are geographically separated for a period of time, they can develop separate traits. If they are then reunited (and are still capable of interbreeding), then the two lines can rejoin. It happens all the time. Originally posted by Darth Executor

It's not just developing separate traits. It's two different lines of descent uniting. It's like trying to breed chimps with humans.... Originally posted by A Cup of Mystery

Sweet Descartes, this guy thinks humans and monkeys should be considered the same species:

More like trying to breed Brahma and Mexican cattle strains. Originally posted by Darth Executor
However, the two spots you have circled are not "bringing two groups together," but are points of divergence.Life sometimes needs to be grabbed by the throat and beaten with a lead pipe. ~ Sir Longpost, a good friend of mine.

Hmm, you're right. Then again, somebody had said neanderthals are human ancestors(wrong) so I read the chart wrong too. I found out 'thals aren't ancestors but never bothered to reread the chart. Originally posted by A Cup of Mystery

I think we are all ignoring a larger issue here. Darth posts on a gaming forum, and then discuss science and theology on that forum. How dorky is that?
Meh.

An even bigger issue is: Can a person use the word dork without being one?
Meh.
