The story and history of cats is really quite fascinating. Some people may think cats evolved from dogs...but that's not really quite right. What actually happened was cats and dogs shared a common ancestor. Science calls this creature a "dat," as in, "what's dat?"
And then interestingly, when you go back in time even more, Dat evolved from an even earlier common ancestor, which evidently also split into pigs and cows and whales and bats and camels and apes eventually humans. This mystery creature was called "Blob." Now neither Dat nor Blob has been spotted in the fossil record as of yet, but none-the-less, he somehow split into all kinds of animals, one of which was cats.

Please dispense with the sarcasm, Supersport; you do it very poorly.

Aww, widdle fundie is twying to be cute!
Who's a good widdle fundie?
For the record stupidsport, sarcasm doesn't work when it's just gibberish. Sarcasm works best when there is intelligence behind the humor. Therefore, leave the sarcasm to those of us with the ability to extend coherent thought.
"What actually happened was cats and dogs shared a common ancestor. Science calls this creature a "dat," as in, "what's dat?""
Actually, it's a family of early mammals called the Miacidae.

It's amazing really, fundies like superspurt regularly tout that because they do not know of evidence of something, it mustn't exist, yet if an atheist made the same argument about God they would call him/her stupid and arrogant.
Hey Supersport! Long time, no bullshit!
I know that you're trying to be sarcastic with this post, but sarcasm really only works if you know what you're talking about. If you don't, you just come across as looking...well...incredibly stupid.
"Some people may think cats evolved from dogs"
But those people are fundies, their opinion isn't worth shit.
"What actually happened was cats and dogs shared a common ancestor. Science calls this creature a FUNDIE RETARDATION DELETED miacid. The fossil record is full of them.
Science calls this creature a "dat," as in, "what's dat?"
Had this not been stupidshit, I'd have said troll. But I bet he whole-heartedly believes this. Also, who's Blob? I'm not familiar with that one either. The last time I checked, science, biology, and evolution do not work that way.
I did smile at the 'dat' joke there, though.
SS should do comedy, instead of being an apologist for ignorance.
We have, however, found Mr. Proto-Whale/Pig, whose descendants would split off into marine mammals who slowly evolved into whales and land mammals who slowly evolved into modern pigs.
"Arguing with supersport is like arguing to a brick wall"
You cant argue with supersport, you can watch him make up his dumbasss version of your argument and try to disprove 'your' argument that whales can give birth to cats.
The common ancestor of the dog and cat actually looked more like a weasel or civet. Today, weasels and civets are fairly similar-looking, despite the former being a "dog" and the latter a "cat"; so "dats" of a sort still exist.

This is coming from somebody who really, actually truly believes in Butterfly Wombs and that eyes reach out for the light so we see everything instantaneously, no matter how far away it is.
Guzzie, you are not only a lousy (and self admitted) troll, you have become very boring. Fuckwit!

Ah, it's supersport.
Let's to move on.
The attempted mockery of standard scientific findings is typical supersport.
Admittedly, Miacis sounds like kind of a funny word if you pronounce it with a soft c, but... oh, right. Supersport.
Also, he doesn't seem to know how to spell "therapsid". No shock there either. What's disturbing is that he has a pretty good handle on common descent and somehow thinks it's ridiculous on its face.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
