> The idea that millions of the animals evolved to have the exact same features.

It's called convergent evolution. It's believed to be why so many different animals developed poison, because it's evolutionarily advantageous.

> Eyes, hair/scales/feathers, wings, legs, teeth, spine, similar brain receptors and similar cells.

Most of those come from common ancestors you dimwit. Eyes for example developed hundreds of millions of years ago.

I would just like to add, that I'm probably way more of what some might call a fanatic or fundamentalist than I let on. I've probably gone on tirades before here or KC that you've seen, can't remember, and my underlying ideology is apocalyptic Christian fundamentalism that sees Revelation as being literally and metaphorically true (since it outright says things are parable and metaphor in places) and the genuine truth of our future and think no law is valid except God's law.

I don't know what koolaid you've been drinking but that sort of retarded Creationism is a dumb American thing promoted by the worst sort of spiritual whores. The idea that the Earth is 6000 years old comes exclusively from the interpretation of some modern pastors who added up the ages of people in the Bible and take a literalist interpretation of everything (even though some of the Bible including Christ Himself speaks in metaphors and parables) and concluded that the Bible is the only source of historical knowledge and is literally true and then applied their own personal interpretation of Scripture and assumed what they thought was literally true as well. Nowhere in the Bible does it actually state the world is that old and it is promoted by the same sorts of people who were trying to claim the world would end on May 21st https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_end_times_prediction despite the fact that anyone who's Biblically literate or simply has the spiritual intuition knows that it comes as a thief in the night and no one, not the angels, or any man, nor even the Son Himself knows the hour.

The idea of Creationism was made by a person such as Harold Camping. Go read up on him and understand that it was his sort of logic that was applied to the Bible and came up with Young Earth Creationism. It is heretical because it assumes man is as knowledgeable as God in God's affairs. A true man of God searches out truth wherever it may be found to understand God if that means accepting things like the vastness of the cosmos to be in awe at the true unending and magnificent power of the Lord that He could create and rule over such a thing as the vastness of not just the physical space of the universe but also its sheer scale temporally across billions of years of time which is unfathomable to a human mind.

>Evolution hampers research into genuine biology.

That's a bizarre statement. Please extrapolate.

>That isn't even getting into the probablity of a successful mutation actually occuring.

It happens all the time in fact what some Evolutionary biologists had been assuming is probably false in that evolution may not have been quite as gradual but rather a series of fits and starts due to mutation. Just recently in the news

I greatly appreciate your interest in Christianity and giving yourself to Christ, if it's done sincerely. If it's done purely out of ideology then it's meaningless and possibly cancerous. I ask you not to listen to these people claiming to represent churches, and acting like Imams and at times Pharisees, but to read Scripture for yourself and to truly become literate in it, for there is never a time where it is a fault to read Scripture. What you should not do is listen to these American Christians, particularly not the Evangelicals and some strains of American fundamentalist, as that path can also lead to such blasphemies as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology

So far I've wasted this day too. Decided to change my default browser to Palemoon, since Firefox decided to randomly block all of my extensions, and I'm not going to use the internet without adblock.
Though it was a bit annoying to set everything up, since the dictionaries for the spellchecker are out of date, and I had to get a direct download link to the Firefox servers (because on their site only Firefox users can download add-ons), and then modify that to the different locations the dictionaries I wanted were in. (Not to mention I had to use older ones instead of the newest versions.)
But in the end, I got all the dictionaries I wanted. (Though I can't get rid of this English-US dictionary.)

It's still raining. I felt that feeling of anxiety again.

Yesterday my mother offered me some money if I were to seriously go out and clean up the garden for real. 1.5 Euros an hour is really good. She offered me the same "wage" I get while working my data entry job. Turned her down. I can't accept that. I'd feel guilty. (Though I still feel guilty.)

I'd definitely go for something far-eastern (Chinese or Japanese). Or Russian.
Though I'm biased because I actually try learning Mandarin on my own.

>there's lots of older literature that can appeal to autists

The problem with that is the fact that a lot of the classics have been written using Classical Chinese, so learning the grammar of that is also a factor.
(Though it's not like there aren't good books written in the vernacular language.)
