People often take offense at the notion that human beings are descended from apes or (more accurately) share a common ancestor, aka Mr. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
I suspect folks take umbrage with the notion that we might have evolved from “animals” because they believe that God created Man in his own image (uh, God’s image, I think)… and as God is not an animal (uh? NO! of course not)... humans are most certainly not animals. It’s blasphemy to even suggest otherwise.
Hmmmm…
What about when human beings choose to breed like animals, with what appears to be little more thought or consideration?
Case in point, the Duggars of Tontitown, Arkansas. With the birth of their newest daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Duggar now have 17 children ranging in ages from 19 years to one day old. Mrs. Duggar, 40, has apparently been in a state of pregnancy for a total of 10.5 years.
After the birth, Mr. Duggar noted that, "We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him. We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well."
Personally, I think any god would be shaking his or her head in concern and trying to figure out how in this instance a rabbit’s instinctual need to breed got put in the wrong animal.
Or, maybe Mr. Duggar just has a kink for prego-sex.
