“What is evolution? It's a religious cult.”
Except it never has been. Too many people accept evolution AND worship one or another god in their formal religion.
"The same religion that fueled the Panet of the Apes type fantasy.”
Fantasy?
Dude, we already live on a Planet of Apes. Apes building cities, apes walked on the Moon, apes in orbit.
“Evos are hopeful that this "scientific" process will eventually take place, making chimps grow smarter to eventually use as servants.”
Did… Did you notice that the movies predict that’s a BAD path? There were serious repercussions? Why would we hope for that?
“The biggest problem I have with their religion is that this process would take a very, very long time to take place.”
You’re using a series of wacky movies, and a TV-show, as a complaint against the science?
Holy fuckknuckle that’s stupid.
“Probably millions.”
IIRC, there was genetic tampering to change the other four species of Great Apes in a much shorter time. That’s why it’s filed under sci-fi not documentary
“Life would have no time for this, as existence has been here for roughly 6,000 years (give or take a few). It simply could not have happened.”
It’s still fiction.
