It's not an insult. It's a representation of opinion upon species branches!

Dragons are not lizards, and insisting that someone is something they are not IS an insult.
Your lack of logic and comprehension skills are astounding, Corsair.

So, if an evolutionist were to say to you that Humans are descendants of monkeys, you would take that as an insult? (Personally, i'd take it as idiocy, but that's just me.) Or if I were to say that there is no major difference between Paladins and Sorceresses, you'd take that as an insult?

And if someone said the difference between a perverted Maia and a Normal Maia is negligible, I'd disagree, but I wouldn't take it as an insult.

1. Humans are not decendants of monkeys. If the evolution theory is to be believed (which still isn't proven by the way), humans and monkeys belong to different branches of the evolution tree, therefore, humans are not decendants of monkeys.

Quote
Humans are mammals of the Primate order. The earliest primates evolved about 65 million years ago in the geological period known as the Paleocene epoch. They were small-brained, arboreal fruit eaters, similar to modern tree shrews. Primates of the Eocene epoch (55 to 38 million years ago) were similar and ancestral to contemporary tarsiers, lemurs, and tree shrews, and are classified as lower primates or prosimians. During the late Eocene, the higher primates, or anthropoids, developed from prosimian ancestors and, aided by continental drift, diverged into New World (or platyrrhine) and Old World (or catarrhine) monkeys. The branching of Old World monkeys and hominoids apparently occurred in the late Oligocene (38 to 25 million years ago) or early Miocene (25 to 8 million years ago), a time period poorly represented in the fossil record. The lesser apes (gibbons and siamangs) and other hominoid lines diverged about 20 million years ago, while the Asian great apes (the orangutan being the only surviving form) diverged from the African hominoids about 15 to 10 million years ago. Genetic evidence suggests that the ancestral lines of gorillas diverged about 8 million years ago and that chimpanzees and hominids diverged about 5 million years ago.

Let me put it this way. If I said there's no difference between Paladins and Blackguards, would you take it as an insult? So paladins and blackguards are really the same. Bah! All this while you claimed that blackguards were superior to paladins when they're really the same. There's no difference between them.

Quote
Also, according to a few religions, woman came from man, and, (I don't want to get in a religious debate.) according to Christianity, God made woman out of one of Adam's ribs. Which is why Women have one more rib than men. According to Christianity.

So by that logic, since all men are born from women during childbirth (and therefore came from women), men are women.

Quite right.  I still find it intersting that they teach the evolution 'theory' as a fact in schools, after all the theory was in fact disproved quite a few years ago.

Just asking, what was the proof which disproved the evolution theory?

I remember our physic's teacher in high school explained why the theory was flawed, and used quite a few research papers which supported his argument.

Or you could read 'Origin of the Species' again and look up the section on eyes. Darwin reconsiders his entire position on the subject.

Oh, in case you're wondering why I bothered to get into this debate, it's because I'm practising my reasoning skills. Just got back my marks for my first philosophy essay. 22/25. blink

Well, the theory of evolution is retarded anyway. I mean, seriously. Was Darwin one of those kids who rode the Short Bus?

Actually, Blackguards are, in essence, Dark Paladins. Fallen Paladins. So they are, essentially, the same. Just two sides of the alignment coin.

So it's ok if I called you a good guy, then? Since Dark Paladins and paladins are the same to you, and paladins are good, therefore dark paladins are good. rolleyes

In that case, you cannot claim to be superior to paladins, since you're one of them.

With that logic, quite a few different things are "the same".
