If there was a God responsible for creating that thing then said deity should really work on its aesthetic taste o_O

after all, fossils were placed as a joke against paleontologists by God

So are we like trying to invoke some science vs. religion topic here or what?

I don't want to go into this.

But I will not compromise on this specific point : Oranges are clearly superiors to Bananas. Period.

I think Alexis might have been, obliquely at least. Or rather, just against the literalists, as the topic says

There is no inherent disconnect between Religion and Science. However Fish has hands is a nice check for "evolution" which doesn't in anyway invalidate moral teachings or metaphysical truths

Being a Christian myself, I'm subject frequently to the stupidity of literal "young earth" theorists. This is good evidence that they're wrong, but then again, as everyone in an ideological minority knows of their arguments: If at first you don't succeed, claim all evidence that you're wrong is a conspiracy. Works every time.

Yeah, same here. Those murlocs are sure persistant....you can make Murloc scale leather gear as a leatherworker, when you skin the murloc scales needed to make your new murloc scale breastplate/belt, bracers.
