Creationists, as blind to the tangible and visible realities of today as they are to the scientific evidence describing how this world and its inhabitants turned out they way they have, are fond of complaining that no unguided process could have created so many forms of life perfectly suited for their niches, creatures efficient and elegant in every way.
If you need to be convinced that evolution is anything but flawless, look no further than Quiver Full Ministry. The goal of this ministry is to make sure people copulate themselves senseless (a fairly quick and straightforward process for adherents) while strictly shunning any and all forms of birth control.
Then there's the usual trash about humanism being bad (a curious yet common Christian assertion that seems only slightly removed from complaining about mercy or compassion), the furious misinterpretation of the First Amendment by secular assholes who just won't accept America's Bibical, Judeo-Christian roots, all sorts of slimy propaganda about the evils of contraception, and various other other solecisms, myth-making, and no-holds-barred cracked-cross bullshit.
Intelligence may not be everything in terms of survival value, but it's the one factor that most sharply distinguishes us from various literal herds. So, given that the stupidest and most hapless members Homo sapiens are -- especially in advanced societies -- almost preternaturally eager to procreate until pieces and parts finally and mercifully wear out, it is safe to say that evolution is anything but a process involving a foregone conclusion or guaranteed improvements on models past.
If this sort of thing continues, it won't be long before people look and sound like larger verson of the Tweedlebugs of Sesame Street fame, chittering madly about nothing between coupling sessions and displaying perfectly bulbous eyes on gently waving stalks, too oblivious to reality to be anything but blissful, pregnant, and covered in shit-smeared diapers and Gerber food.

How's this for an argument against biblical literalism of the passages quoted in those excerpts - if Jesus died for our sins and all our sins are inherently forgiven, then why hasn't God undone the punishment against womenkind for what Eve did?
You'd think if He really wanted millions of kids, he'd have encouraged it by easing the pain burden, right?
But who is really easing the pain burden through medicines, and who is really out there actually helping women who have trouble conceiving have children, and who is really out there helping men perform when through hormones or psychology, they can't?
Who is really out there not raising a million kids 'cause of their own piety, but helping others in these family-making matters because they truly care about their fellow neighbor?
Those awful atheistic scientists. Doing the work of the Lord by using facts discovered because of evolution. Isn't THAT an irony.

I just for the h-of it pulled up the QFM page and I was glad I had a double shot of Jack with me helped ease the brain pain from reading such garbage. After I left I needed one more shot of Jack to get back to the real world
