(Do athiest(sic) really believe they are advanced monkeys?)
Yes but amazingly there are still monkeys....
a few people stated science: Science hasn't proven anything, it simply amazes me how people confuse "theories" with proof. Anyone can have a theory but proving that theory is something completely different......

Sad, very sad, to think that a species that produced an Einstein, a Newton, or a Hawking also spat out someone like this.
The Bell Curve has a lot to answer for.
"(Do athiest(sic) really believe they are advanced monkeys?) "
No, we believe we are apes. Monkeys are different from apes.
"Yes but amazingly there are still monkeys.... "
Ignoring the continued confusion between monkeys and apes, there are still apes because apes and humans are seperate branches of the same evolutionary tree.
"...it simply amazes me how people confuse "theories" with proof. Anyone can have a theory but proving that theory is something completely different...... "
It simply amazes me how fundies confuse "theories" with "hypotheses." Anyone can have a hypothesis, but proving that hypothesis and having it become a theory is something completely different...
No, I am a very, very advanced monkey (actually an ape, but eh?). You however?...well...evolution just doesn't work successfully all the time, sorry. :(

"Figures you'd be a Steelers fan."
*AHEM!!*
I was born and raised in a town near Pittsburgh, I've always had an above-average IQ (which makes me more than smart enough not to swallow the bullshit that is creationism), and I've been a Steelers fan since I was a wee 'un during the Carter administration.
Are either one of you Cardinals fans, by any chance? If so, your reaction is somewhat understandable (though still undeserved).
"Science hasn't proven anything, it simply amazes me how people confuse "theories" with proof."
First, no doubt you're "simply amazed" every time you pour milk on your Rice Krispies
Second, You're confused about what a theory is, to show us how everything is an unproven theory go to the nearest 6th floor window and show us how gravity is "just a theory."
We are not monkeys we are APES say it with me A P E S!
Hmm, as a Dutchmen this nuance always gets me totally confused :)
'monkey' translates in Dutch to 'aap'
'ape' translates in Dutch to ..... 'aap'
I don't care if they call me a monkey, it's obvious we are related, Orang-Oetangs are called 'mensapen' (manapes) for a reason, hell, even the indonesian word for the species indicates the resemblance as 'Orang' means 'Man'

"GO STEELERS! You may need a few whacks upside the head with your terrible towel."
*smirks* If he's misplaced his, you can borrow mine. However, please clean off any blood it may draw (if you're like me, the towel will be loaded when it connects with GO STEELERS' skull) before giving it back.
Science does not attempt to 'prove' things. Technically, only math has 'proofs'. These nuances are probably totally missed by you, because you're a fucking moron who doesn't understand the scientific usage of the word 'theory'.
Not monkeys, apes, there is a difference. Your existence, however, proves that we've gone beyond survival of the fittest.
Steeler fan knows this, no doubt, because of all the theories he has "proven".
Learn a little science, then we'll talk.
Not only are there still monkeys, but it seems some of them are Steelers fans who can type (sort of).
Oh, and you're a fine one to say other people are confused. You've done well if you've worked out which foot each shoe goes on.
Scientific Theorys are based on evidence
Theory: an idea, or reckoning about something. Like:
Fundies are uneducated sheep of a church
Working Theory: one supported by the very evidence the idea came from plus growing evidence for it.
Like:
Fundies ARE uneducated sheep of the church
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
