Look at what god did to these poor people. He made them animals again.
Devolution vs. evolution -- and that includes Couric
I guess an upright stance as what is part of being human has gone out the window. We are really no different then animals, in fact we are able to (d)evolve into walking on all fours again.
So what do you think of this? Does this not show evolution taking place(sure its micro evolution, but thats what adds up to macro evolution)? Or was god just playing a practical joke on this family?
In my mind this is exactly how evolution occurs. Weird mutations like this is what drive the diversity of species of life on earth.

Just pointing out that this has been discussed to some extenthere.
I'd like to promote the topic, but I'd like to see you deal first with your potential opponents likely retorts: that this is a negative mutation not a positive one.
So, how do you want to discuss this? As a discussion about the defining characteristics of humans (uprightness)? that micro adds to macro? That this is microevolution? That this is an example of what drives evolution?
It is an interesting topic, but I don't see good debate here as a biological evolution debate, nor as a theological issue.
If you want to have this opened in the coffee house, it can largely stand as it is, I suppose as a generally open discussion about the family and the ramifications it might have for theology and biology.
