I made a goal to read every online Chick tract available. It took several hours and it messed with my brain.
It actually scares me. Seriously.
I go back and forth on it. I wonder if Chick is serious sometimes, it's hard to discern from the comics. Sometimes they are just so far out there as far as God delighting in burning people in hell, and Halloween leading to a 10 year old girl becoming an actual witch, stuff like that, makes me wonder. I guess I would need to meet him in person and see what he's like.

I can't help but think that most would, if they both understood the concepts and were made aware of the vast body of supporting evidence. I mean, how can one make a valid conclusion with distorted and/or missing information?
The funny thing about that is there are antiMormons on this board who accept evolution attempting to convince other LDS erroneously that they can't possibly accept evolution without contradicting the doctrine. I'd say the agenda there is akin to these creationists who are trying to withhold information.
One of my favorites is that "we came from apes." Talk about a fundamental misunderstanding. Having a common ancestor as apes is not the same as apes turning into people.
Wow, how did that idea ever see the light of day? Maybe it had to do with the most famous images attributed to evolution theory:
The people who drew up these illustrations must have been real idiots huh?

Well, I think trying to argue you understand the theory from an illustration can be shown to have a direct positive correlation to being an idiot. :)
Hammer, on MAD, likes to talk about that illustration.... ..... ..... that's his proof of something.... .....
I didn't say I understand it based on one photo. This photo is most likely to be found in every textbook that talks on the subject. So clearly it intends to teach something. So, what is?
I'm just saying the "we came from apes" assumption is a natural one to make and it is usually taken for granted. Even if we just say apes and man came from the same source, one needs to explain why humans evolved into humans whereas apes stayed the same.
