Evolution has no need for a god.

Jesus Christ does not agree with your opinion
Jesus is a pile of dust somewhere in the middle east.
and neither do I.
I don't worry too much about opinions. I am very impressed by verifiable facts if you have any.
Religion should be at the very bottom of anybody's to-do list when they leave the cult.

What you need to do is find a Church with real people to talk to, who will introduce you to the love of Jesus Christ.
That is the worst advice anybody could ever give an exJW
If for social reasons you want to meet with a relaxed theologically liberal church who could not care less what you believe then fair enough.
Otherwise why would you swap one set of superstitions for another?
All churches are cults. It's only a matter of degree.

If you don't accept evolution you are either ignorant or ignorant.
At last!

{Insert name of NASA engineer/veterinary/gynecologist/dentist} PhD doesn't accept evolution. So there!
{Insert multiple names of 18th & 19th century scientists} believed in god. So there!

Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur?
by shadow inevolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.
fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.
the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".

Stop using typos as an escape goat. - SBF
What on earth is an escape goat?
They are not just typos they are utter unmitigated nonsense in the context. Once we correct the spelling it's still not even wrong.

jacobm - Lots of people are trying to tell you how much you have misunderstood natural selection.
Please listen to them and read some basic textbooks.
The following two posts might help you get started and clear up some misunderstandings. Especially the second one.
Evolution is a Fact #27 Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc...
Evolution is a Fact #28 Something Darwin Didn't Say...

this is where natural selection starts to become a little strained and starts to resemble a deus di machina.
Made up word or phrase alert!
those snakes trying to copulate look suspiciously like genetic draft
Made up word or phrase alert!
that should read deus eks machina
Made up word or phrase alert!
but my point re genetic piggy backing stands
Made up word or phrase alert!

Jacob m - when I wrote that the snake that reproduces is by definition the "fittest" did you understand what that means?
Fit dies NOT equal Olympian.

The answers may explain why humans lost their fur in hot places like Africa but doesn't explain why they didn't grow it back again once they reached the Arctic
Humans learned to make clothes by then so there was zero selective advantage in being hairy.
Most mammals have either thick fur of lots of blubber.
Animals don't make clothes
Without clothes they'd die of hypothermia
Yes. That's why we make clothes.
that article of Cofty's is full of.. 'our model' 'we suggest' 'maybe' 'we postulate' 'a good case can be made' 'our revised model' 'we believe' 'we assume' .... they are not actually saying that these are all facts, they are 'assuming', 'predicting', conducting an experiment.
It's not my article. The authors present lots of hard verifiable facts. Like all good scientists they are modest about the interpretation. That is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the watchtower.
- Goosebumps prove our ancestors were hairy.
- The mirror proves most of are no longer hairy.
- Loss of hair helps with temperature regulation.
- Hair loss corresponded with bipedal posture
Where is the mystery?
