Uncle Jake's Facts of Life

...and Existence, and How it Is

There are a number of things I, after all these years of tolerating irrational ignorance, feel the need; aye, the burning compulsion; to clarify for the betterment of the human species. Sounds noble. It'll never work, but at least I'll feel better, and maybe ...maybe... you, dear reader, will be smarter for it.

I know I am.

1. Evolution is a fact. That's right. It's an observation, not a debate, and no amount of all the blathering on any side of any fence anywhere makes it anything but an observation. It's quite likely that a lot of the extremist claims made by radical evolutionists (who are as irrational as radical religious freaks, just on the other side of the shit-spattered fence) are bunk. However, and you can test this yourself if you like...if you die before you breed, your specific genes are gone. They didn't just step out for a smoke break, they're eradicated; terminated; defunct; extinct; expelled from the elevator of life; removed; departed; absent.

Maybe the cause of your death had very little to do with your genetics; hey, most -likely- it wasn't due to genetics, as terminal stupidity, poor lifestyle choices and unfortunate incident are, none of them, the necessary province of genetic influence. So, if any of you crackpot religious fascists had a functional brain to share between the lot of you, you'd take the platform of that evolution doesn't necessarily correlate into increased survivability of the species. But you don't, and you'll continue to wag your bibles around while spouting gibberish about existence being puffed into existence by an improbable geezer who's favorite food and libation are human misery and burnt blood sacrifices.

I guess you who're like that have more fun with bitching than making any sense to anyone but yourselves, so...have at it. Just keep your gibberish away from me, or I'll out-grabe your every momerath until you wish you'd never survived infancy to the point of learning what the english language was, let alone survived to speak your rubbish at me.
