How can anyone NOT believe in evolution?

From a science news story today:

Neurotransmitters linked to mating behavior are shared by mammals and worms.

And from another story released today:

A Swedish–Norwegian research team shows in a new study that the intestines of the peculiar Penis worm develop in the same way as those in humans, fish and starfish.

If we didn't all come from the same source, why do we share many elements and traits with the "lower" animals? There is no doubt that evolution is real. People who don't accept the truth about our origins are either blinkered by religion or too lazy to think it through. Unfortunately, this describes most Americans.

Irony abounds

So let's see. We're hysterical that some guy wanted to fly model airplanes filled with explosives into targets in the U.S. Hmmm, where have I heard this scenario before?

Today's NY Times:

Disillusioned by huge costs and uncertain outcomes in two wars, the Obama administration has embraced drones and precision raids in the fight against terrorism. 

How could anyone miss the similarity between these activities? Duh. Tiny, unmanned planes that bring death by remote control. We do this in other countries every day. That's why they hate us. And if you lived in these countries you'd hate us too. It's only because of the idiotic notion of American exceptionalism that we don't see ourselves as terrorists.

But we are, Blanche. We are.
