Science is full of fairy tales, how do you think we've advanced so far? (sci-fi)

where the viewers are less informed then people who who don't watch TV?
you can teach creationism in religion class as I said before

Could you then please show me the exact link between man and it's next common ancestor? I mean yeah I'm sure you'd show me a chimp, problem with that is that they had to shed a chromosome to become us, not something that happens naturally through evolution.

So let me get this straight. If you believe lightning struck a puddle of amino acids and few million years later here I am, that makes you smart. But if you believe that life can't spawntanously combust and it's likely there was some creative forces behind it, your an idiot?
ZERO scientist know how life was created, its an open mystery. And there are plenty of questions on why a species that is relatively brand new, homo sapiens, developed far and away more intelligence than others. Birds for example are related to dinosaurs and were here millions of years before humans. Now if evolution depends on beneficial mutations, it seems unlikely that species that were here for millions of years longer than us, facing the same natural forces, are not even close to our intelligence.
Evolution may not be wrong but it doesn't explain how monkeys were picking there butts one 10,000 years and the next they were forming religions and developing agriculture. What's more likely a monkey woke up one day and designed MySpace or humans are just an anomaly, special.
It simply boils down to;
Go with the side with some evidence OR go with the side purely faith no no evidence
Go with side that is discovering things and trying to understand how this works OR go with side that says they have an absolute answer.
Go with side that is willing to modify answers upon discovering new things OR the side that is stubborn and does not want to change its ways
If you are going against Science and discovery what you actually saying is "i don't want to understand things, i like given instruction that i will follow without questions and anybody who doesn't do that is my enemy"
All science is doing is taking the magic out of things and some people rather live in a magical world.
Lightning was wrath of god before it was explained by science.
Earthquake was wrath of god before it was explained by science.
We were the center of the universe before it was explain by science.
Life was produced magically before it was explained by science.. oh wait, we still arguing that!
Meh the list can go on...
Science is about learning and understanding, not making absolute rules, its always open to change.

Then please show me the evidence where an animal EVOLVING into another animal sheds a chromosome... Don't worry I'll wait.
