Religious people will group together and flag anything... Oh what is the use? You've got to cling, what could be worse than accepting that your whole life has been based upon false ideals from the first century?

And "lower" mammals came from the same protolizards lizards came from.
The first fully terrestrial vertebrates were amniotes. Like amphibians, they have lungs and limbs. Amniotes' eggs, however, have internal membranes which allow the developing embryo to breathe but keep water in. Hence amniotes can lay eggs on dry land, while amphibians generally need to lay their eggs in water.
The first amniotes apparently arose in the late Carboniferous. They descended from earlier tetrapods, which lived on land already inhabited by insects, and other invertebrates, and by ferns, mosses, and other plants. Within a few million years two important amniote lineages became distinct: the synapsids, which include mammals; and the sauropsids, which include lizards, snakes, crocodilians, dinosaurs and birds. Synapsids have a single hole (temporal fenestra) low on each side of the skull.

As for the rest.... Meh..... Just because there are people who as you claim does not negate the fact there are those that act as he was talking about.
Yes that is a pickle we have gotten ourselves into after all it's not as if science has advanced over 2000 years.....OH WAIT. Also we have a little system called peer review wich i thin you'll find is VERY effective

1 You think the statement “My linage derives from evolved lizards” is more logical then “A higher intelligence created intelligent life on earth, according to their kind.”
2 You don’t accept the idea of God, but you talk about him more then most religious zealots.
3 You despise the idea of faith, but you have a hyper-abundant amount of trust in “time and chance”
4 You despise organized religion by being a part of an organized religion against organized religion.
5 You claim that religious people are brainwashed, but you spout off quotes from renowned atheists to defend your beliefs.
6 Your best defense to the idea that religious people cram their beliefs down people’s throats is to cram your beliefs down people’s throats (Richard Dawkins)
7 You say the Bible is utterly made up non-sense, then use stories from it to condemn God…who you claim doesn’t exist.
8 One of your favorite arguments against believing the Bible is that it was written by men, but you unquestioningly believe science text books…written by men
9 You get stark raving mad when someone says God (who doesn’t exist) will send you to Hell (a place that doesn’t exist), and use that as “evidence” that God doesn’t exist.
10 You deny the testimony of countless millions of believers, but trust the research of a few hundred atheist...and call that being "open-minded"

Easy, cling to false premises to cling to 21'st century pseudo science calling it science when it's an awful lot closer to philosophy
NO! BAD DOG! The very article you copied says that mammals didn't come from lizards. Its like you said that since your second cousin and yourself have the same great-great grandfather then you must have the same father as well.
Typical, just ignore and dismiss what you can't argue with.
Wow, so basically what we have here is some snarky Christian who decided to start a thread with no point at all except to make fun of atheists... ...aaaand the mods let it run 7 pages. Three cheers for ATS!

Atheists are often demonized. We have to explain why we don't believe in gods, and well, that takes a lot of talking about gods to do. Furthermore, why do you say "God?" Atheists deny the belief in all deities, not just yours.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but my best guess is evolution and/or abiogenesis. There is evidence to suggest that abiogenesis is very possible, and we know evolution as fact.

Atheism is not an organized religion. Atheism does not demand the worship of anything or make any supernatural claims. Atheism is simply the disbelief/lack of belief in a deity.

Richard Dawkins works for the public understanding of science and to make atheism an accepted and acknowledged stance. We do not cram our beliefs (Atheism doesn't require any beliefs at all) down anyone's throats, but there are groups that reach out to atheists who may not have "come out of the closet"

Well some snarky atheist started a thread to make fun about Christians...
aaaand the mods have let it run for 12+ pages. That leads me to the conclusion that it all right to make fun of Christians, be woe on the man who makes fun of atheists.
All Democrats are insane, but not one of them knows it; none but the Republicans and Mugwumps know it. All the Republicans are insane, but only the Democrats and Mugwumps can perceive it.
