A couple of words about the post on the right, since it highlights one of the main reasons for my disappoitment with everything "progressive" - the fact it is nearly always progressive only in its shape, rather than its essence.
Although the post makes a seemingly reasonable point, it fails at least twice on this very point:
1. By appealing to viewer's wild emotions ("Fucking act like it.") rather than to his/her ability to reason that has evolved throughout the 4 billion years
2. By using expression "evolutionary success" rather than "evolutionary process," which betrays the authors ignorance. Indeed, "success" is something implying a directed intention or a plan, whereas the reason why some people refuse to accept the evolution is precisely the lack of any "intelligent design" behind the rather random evolutionary process.
