Evolution is a Myrth
Anyone who believes we evolved from mud, give me your reasons why, and I will give evidence to refute them.

Um, what's a Myrth?
Should I just pretend to know?

abiogenesis is harder to explain than evolution, methinks.

I promise you you'll get eaten eventually.
Lo! 'tis a gala night
Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre, to see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.
Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly-
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
Invisible Woe!
That motley drama- oh, be sure
It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.
But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes!- it writhes!- with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
Out- out are the lights- out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
-The Conqueror Worm, E. A. Poe

if you put your finger in a Heliamphora the acid will digest some of your skin (albeit you could be there for a long time)
Also as man started to move millipedes evolved from worms to hunt us

I think the title is a nod to the christmas spirit.
Myrh is mine, it's bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom

Ooooooooooooo Star of wonder...etc

How?Hey now, you said you'd refute it with evidence, not through socratic dialog. :p

There's plenty of evidence of evolution, if you're willing to accept scientific discoveries over the years. If you're not willing to accept things like archaeology, paleontology, and carbon dating, stop reading now.
First, let's start with fossils of human ancestors. No fossils of human beings have been found earlier than 160,000 years ago. An article on the earliest <i>homo sapiens</i> fossils can be found here... http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2003/06/11_bones-background.shtml
Any fossils dated earlier than that are some sort of pre-human creature, somewhere between ape and man. The famous "Lucy" and the newly discovered "Lucy's baby" are good examples of these types of finds...

Elsewhere in nature, and occasionally in humans, we can find vestigial bones and organs. These bodily structures once had a purpose, but organisms have evolved beyond their use. The appendix and tailbone are two of the more well-known human vestigial structures. I refer you to the following for more information and resources...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestigial_structure
As a final, somewhat more lighthearted example, I offer the following comic strip, which covers the idea of evolution vs. creationism...

I agree. my dog is nicer than anybody I know. cockroaches are harder to kill. anything is faster or stronger. intellegence aint all its cracked up to be. dolphins have language, emotion, families, friendships, and relationships. they swim around in the caribbean having sex all their lives. I think we need to seriously reconsider this homo-superior thing.

Saying that 'evolution is a Myrth' implies that there is more than one Myrth. There is only one, our lord and saviour Myrthsus Christ*
