Darunia, what the hell are you talking about? Where do you get these ideas? Christians don't believe God spawned from nothing and then suddenly vanished. Maybe you assume we'd HAVE to believe that, but whatever...
Your other statements are just blind assumptions and generalizations. Yeesh, when we get into a Christian discussion, just stay out if you can't be nice. Go on, get out of here. That's right, it's a horrible conspiracy, whatever, just go.
ASM, I was not once saying anything about us COMING from birds. I'm saying they DO have that ability and it's proven. It's a very tough thing for them to do, and they can't comprehend more than an individual word's meaning (so they can't comprehend grammar, and thus won't ever be able to understand the full meaning of phrases as we do, such as "man bites dog", where it might know what a man is, a dog is, and what the action of biting is, but it couldn't know the relationship is between those words.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
