Yes, Richard is a fundamentalist.
He's also a very poor scientist if he doesn't understand the difference between the truth claim about New Zealand (observable, repeatable, falsifiable) and the evolution of man from an ape (not observed, not repeatable, not falsifiable).

And again, not claimed. Nobody has ever claimed that humans evolved from apes, with the possible exception of drunken students with a very poor grasp of evolution.
The fact is that we have observed evolution in other animals, albeit over a short time-frame. To assume that humans are somehow special and not subject to this same process is rather arrogant.

I'd agree.
I don't know anyone who believes humans don't change over time.
If I meet someone like that, I'll give you a call and we can mock them together.

Thanks! I managed most of the heavy lifting unassisted but I couldn't quite get it onto the top shelf.

Wow, just googled Thong - did not know that Thong was the English word. In French, it is called a "string", which is pretty accurate IMO 
Anyway, I ended up on the wikipedia article, and they have a very good example picture[^] - slightely NSFW (I know, the warning gives it away).
