Glenn Beck: 'I Haven't Seen A Half-Monkey, Half-Person Yet' (AUDIO)

If it's Wednesday in America, then someone, somewhere, is probably saying something astonishingly crazy about evolution. Today, it's Glenn Beck, who is probably happy to have the attention of the blogs! Per Media Matters, Glenn was asking the tough questions today, such as "How many people believe in evolution in this country?"

Beck went on to say that he didn't know the answer, because he's "not God" and, consquently, doesn't know "how God creates," but he thought that it was "ridiculous" to think that we "came from monkeys." Personally, I find the intricate calibrations of evolutionary biology to be one of God's most impressive creations. But, hey, that's just me, trying to give God the credit for being all-wise and all-knowing, like you learn in Sunday school, and not just some summa cum laude sorcerer graduate of Hogwarts. ("I'm not a witch, I'm you," sayeth the Lord.)

This leads to a long-winded dialogue about how evolution has been "forced down your throat," and so it must be bad for you, like, you know, lima beans or Robitussin. Always the forced-oral sodomy fetish, with this guy!

At any rate, your money shot, from Beck: "I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet." Let me caution you: you will not be the first person to make a "mirror" joke, so step up your game.

Homo cepranensis
Homo erectus
Homo ergaster
Homo floresiensis
Homo gautengensis
Homo georgicus
Homo habilis
Homo heidelbergensis
Homo neanderthalensis

This is a list of "ape men" for you, Glen. Some of them are our ancestors. Great pictures are
available, just do an image search. There are also a lot of great documentary materials
online. You should check it out. This whole thing about denying evidence exists because
you are ignoring it has got to stop...

As ridiculous as Beck is, the half-man, half-monkey, also known as the "missing link" has been a serious point of contention between evolutionists and creationists for as long as both have existed. While evolution can be traced back through most of human origins, there is definitely a gap.

I'm not saying this discredits evolution, or validates Beck, but thought it was worth pointing out. There are plenty of perspectives that allow creation and evolution to be compatible, depending on your interpretations, but Beck's argument is just assinine.

What is Glenn Beck talking about.......?

He is half man half monkey...............

There is the distinct possibility that in Glenn's case he might be 100% monkey. Nature has been known to overshoot the mark.

Hasn't this clown ever seen Planet Of The Apes?

"Personally, I find the intricate calibrations of evolutionary biology to be one of God's most impressive creations."

Then you have to accept the fact that you share a boat with Glenn Beck. Your differences are in flavor, not substance.

Apparently he does not own a mirror. Do monkey/men own eyewear?

I guess I can understand Beck's own house, but why wouldn't Faux put mirrors in the men's room?

"...evolution has been "forced down your throat,"..."I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet."

So mind-bogglingly anti-intellectual and ignorant, it's proof positive that Beck presumes his audience to be complete fools.

Nit-Picking, Screeching, lashing out occasionally and pandering to herd instincts? Hmmmm.
Oh, and Beak does it as well!

I wonder if he is going to say next that, JESUS wasn't really from the MIDDLE EAST.

That JESUS wasn't for Health care for all. (Story of Lazarus)
That Jesus wasn't for sharing rather than charity. (Miracle he performed using the fish basket)
That Jesus wasn't for non-violence anti Gun dude (He who live by the sword, die by the sword before being arrested.
Finally, That Jesus wasn't for MAn-love, (he slept out in the open with disciples the night before being crucified.) LOL- love than one.

“I wonder if he is going to say next that, JESUS wasn't really from the MIDDLE EAST.”
Well, Yeah! He was a Jew. What does that have to do with any thing?

“That JESUS wasn't for Health care for all. (Story of Lazarus)”
Raising the dead has nothing to do with health care. Lazarus eventually died again.

“That Jesus wasn't for sharing rather than charity. (Miracle he performed using the fish basket)”
A miracle performed to give evidence of who He was; he didn’t demand the government forcibly take from one and give to the other. The scripture also says that he who doesn’t work doesn’t eat.

“That Jesus wasn't for non-violence anti Gun dude (He who live by the sword, die by the sword before being arrested.”
That is because He was destined to pay for your sins. He could not let His disciples interfere with His destiny. However, the driving out the money changers out of the temple wasn’t non-violent; and calling the Scribes, Sadducees and Pharisees serpents, vipers and hypocrites was exactly peace talk.

“Finally, That Jesus wasn't for MAn-love, (he slept out in the open with disciples the night before being crucified.) LOL- love than one.”
If you are saying what I think you are, you’re stretching it to the limit. Christ was sinless. Also, Christ did not sleep that night. Once He went to the garden He prayed up until the time He was arrested.

If you haven't seen a "half-man half-ape" stop grooming yourself.

Either pretending to be dumb about evolution or simply being grossly misinformed.

[Jon Dorian]

It is still called a theory. It has not been proven; and it never will.

[Hirnlego]

07:04 AM on 10/26/2010

Another of those dumb talking points. Look up what the word theory means in science.

So is gravity. Only religion has the audacity to claim fact for things unproven.
