Evolution of text.

I don't know if this is necessarily a P/R post but evolution is a hot topic, so here it is.

 

I thought it was clever.

Clever, yes.  I see what he was going for.  But...well, you know.

Well, since all the colors of the spectrum blend together throughout their different wave lengths, there is no 1st purple or blue word.  Purple is a mixture of red and blue, and blue is a mixture of green and yellow.  Did I over analyze that?   :lol

The real question here is: where did these colors come from? Did they write themselves and appear this way by chance?

Yeah, did all those letters just magically make themselves out of nothing? Where did it all come from? But wait, what if somebody created the letters? But then where could the creator come from?

I say we ban color text from our schools and kill each other over it

Hey, the red color really existed 6000 years ago, along with Adam and Eve. The red text went away with the great Flood. We have evidence of this in the creation museum.



Ugh I suck at this.

Blue is a mixture of green and yellow....Whaaaat? Blue's a primary colour.

I don't know. Didn't think this was a particularly good argument in that picture. The only thing that is different between red and blue is the frequency, and that is a continuous parameter that people objecting to macroevolution don't actually object to being able to morph over time.
Of course, the fossil record clearly shows that macroevolution is happening, but I think this particularly pic tried to explain the wrong thing.
