Oh, yeah, we did…but now this silly poll has popped up elsewhere, sans previous pharyngulation. I'm sure you can fix that.
Do You Believe You Evolved From An Ape-like Creature?No (68.0%, 327 Votes)
Yes (32.0%, 153 Votes)
I do not know (1.0%, 3 Votes)
You know, I'd like to know what kind of creature they think they did evolve from. And if there is "nothing", they ought to re-word their poll to "Do You Believe You Evolved?"
(By the way, dig a little deeper into that site — it looks like christwire.org is a parody site. It says something that the very same poll that onenewsnow.com presented seriously can be a joke to anyone else.)

The phrasing of the question is itself troublesome, because it seems to assume that even if we did evolve from ape-like creatures, that's the past and we've moved on, completely ignoring the fact that we ARE ape-like creatures. It's even better to say that you ARE an ape, because just admitting that your ancestors are apes gives you an easy backdoor. For example, when I express the relationship I have with my cat, I use the formula "my cat," but when I reverse the formula to talk about my cat's relationship with me, I say "his primate." Hehe.

Awesome 404 error
Why do 404 error messages occur?
404 Error message was created by an unholy menagerie of vile atheists, Democrats, liberals and Godless Soviets in the Year of our Lord 1992. We're told through electronic pathogens and demonic incantation rituals, they managed to create ways to electronically limit the amount of lost souls and seekers of truth that 'web servers' could process in a given minute.
Though their machinations are evil and everlasting, through hope, prayer and clicking refresh you can eventually overcome these wicked limits during times when tens of thousands of people flock to ChristWire per hour to discover the works of True Christians.

I am a big fan of poll crashing. I participate just about every time. But poll crashing (not to mention your iPod Touch campaign) elevates site hit counts. I'm sure some of these intrepid information gatherers tout their hit rates post pharyngulation, especially since they're usually in no mood to discuss the poll results. Is this a significant downside to poll crashing?

vbalbert: that is only true of incredibly simple static web pages. Most web servers create web pages dynamically in response to demand (rather than just sending an html page read straight from disk) so getting a 404 and having it resolved by a refresh is not as impossible as you suggest. Particularly with things like polls.

Dear friends, we are living in cruel days. Evil hours. Yes, these are certainly dark times and it’s time for the moral majority to once again step forward to bring freedom and liberty to the world.
Our culture was built on the guiding principles of conservatism and Christianity, from which all morality is born. As such American heritage was meant to be passed on from generation to generation, ensuring that our principles…our values…were never compromised.
But alas, the Left Wing Conspiracy and Liberal Agenda is spreading like a plague not only through our fine society, but through lesser cultures as well. Their sinful antics and attempt to pass off their wanton carnal desires into mainstream culture is destroying society and mankind.
That’s where we come in. Together, in this community, you and your Moral Leaders will combat the evil liberals of this world and once again ensure that a bit of freedom and righteousness once again permeates every country, and let those who don’t abide by our teachings know the eternal pit of hellfire shall be awaiting!

Not sure what the deal is, but that poll is 404 for me. I've got something to share if you all want to add your two cents in somewhere else. Over at Talking Points Memo Muckraker, blogger Wattree titles a post: Would God Condone Torture? In his opening paragraph he muses on the dichotomy between "Christian" nation and torture enthusiasm.
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/wattree/2009/05/a-simple-question-would-god-co.php
I jumped in and got atheist-bashed by metaphorically shouting that God loves a good torturing or he would/could have designed us otherwise. I also took a bit of a hit from the author of the post who claims some universe inspired religious rousings and to which I replied:
How about making a quick click over there and showing me some love?

1. Which evolved first, male or female?
2. How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female?
3. List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods.
4. Why hasn’t any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years?
5. Which came first:
…the eye,
…the eyelid,
…the eyebrow,
…the eye sockets,
…the eye muscles,
…the eye lashes,
…the tear ducts,
…the brain’s interpretation of light?
6. How many millions of years between each in question 5?
7. If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can’t all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring?
8. List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution!
9. Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing?
10. Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.)
11. Why aren’t any fossils or coal or oil being formed today?
12. List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body.
13. Why hasn’t anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution?
14. If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated?
15. Why hasn’t evolution duplicated all species on all continents?
How stupid do they think 'secular evolution teachers' are? Why do creationists think that they have great arguments against evolution when all they have are misunderstandings and the same weary canards which would easily be answered if only they took the time to read some basic biology books?

I never understood why the idea that we are primates is so hard for some people to understand. If anyone has actually seen any other apes, it seems so OBVIOUS that we are related. We look more like apes than a Chihuahua looks like a Newfoundland, and yet we all accept those to not only be related, but the same species!
I know that's how my dad explained it to me as a kid, that we are apes, like the ones at the zoo... can't you see it, just imagine yourself with fur all over... And I remember people at school getting MAD at me and accusing me of calling them monkeys. I can't believe I've been arguing about something so simple my whole fucking life.
Of course the DNA really settles it for me, but clearly that is above these idiots heads. People especially hate it when I argue for other primates rights, and no one believes me when I tell them about the chimps that learned Sign Language ("it's just teaching a dog tricks")... no, they taught it to their young!!

Either way, no one ever said we were any species but homo sapiens, did we? We're RELATED to other primates, with the same ancestor. Kind of how a cousin is related to you, with a pair of the same grandparents, but they aren't your sibling. Not that complicated...

Hilarious article on the "Pharyngylation" of the satirical site can be found here:
http://christwire.org/2009/05/atheist-pharyngulites-attack-christwire-poll/
from the site:
"My friends, evolutionary theory is a very ugly thing. It is such a shame that the pharyngulists believe your son or precious daughter was a feathered chicken or hoofed cow while in the womb."
and...
"They will resort to terror attacks and trying to skew poll data if you speak out against their antics. It goes to follow that in typical secular fashion, Professor Meyers indeed encouraged his followers to skew scientific polling data with an unfair liberal bias.
These are the very same tactics that the left-wing elite employed when giving our noble President Bush a very unrealistically low approval ratings.
My dear friends, we were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention we magically transform from a chicken to a turtle as we’re incubated in a woman’s womb."
Really hilarious stuff, although it's a bit difficult to distinguish it from the real thing.

Religionists evolved from crackers, and when they eat the crackers they experience transsubstantiation in the form of feces. You are what you eat.

You mean it might actually fool them and inspire them even more?Posted by: Callie | May 24, 2009 12:46 PM

I'm still waiting for a poll on this question:
"Do you believe you are a creature"?
I'll take any relevant variant, as long as it basically means, "Do you believe you are an animal."
Then we'll have something new in the entertainment. I'll make the popcorn.

I'm at work and cannot vote on this poll as the site http://christwire.org/ is blocked.
Looks like we have a much more enlightened web filtering policy than I though.

The poll and the site are now back up and this is their lead headline...
Atheist Pharyngulites Attack ChristWire Poll
At approximately 11:23 AM, on May 23, 2009, ChristWire.org was attacked by approximately 20,000 atheist internet terrorists who were patently enraged by definitive Proof that the Earth is 6,000 years old and following refutation reports about the false Ida Lemur Monkey fossil.
A group calling itself the Pharyngula, led by a militant evolution scientist named PZ Myers, took credit for the attack on their internet web site Scienceblogs.com/pharyngula.
My friends, evolutionists want to corrupt the minds of our children. They will resort to whatever acts of terror and violence to get their anti-God agenda spread across our great nation.
There's more of the same here:

404 Error Page Not Found
Refresh to find the article you wanted, and if that doesn't work please keep praying for an hour and then check back.
Why do 404 error messages occur?
The 404 Error message was created by an unholy menagerie of vile atheists, Democrats, liberals and Godless Soviets in the Year of our Lord 1992. We're told through electronic pathogens and demonic incantation rituals, they managed to create ways to electronically limit the amount of lost souls and seekers of truth that 'web servers' could process in a given minute.
Though their machinations are evil and everlasting, through hope, prayer and clicking refresh you can eventually overcome these wicked limits during times when tens of thousands of people flock to ChristWire per hour to discover the works of True Christians.
During these trying times, feel free to also join some of our Moral Leaders and core Community Pillars at their respective edifices:
