I agree with you. The title does sound immature, but the truth is that evolution is so ridiculous a claim that I can truly understand why is would be called stupid. I have called it by that name myself at times.

I also don't wish to offend anyone, but the concept of evolution is so outrageous and silly, that I would truly be embarrassed to call myself an evolutionist.

For a similar scenario, research the "tomato effect".


"Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."

—Bounoure, Le Monde Et La Vie (October 1963) [Director of Research at the National center of Scientific Research in France].


"I argue that the `theory of evolution' does not take predictions, so far as ecology is concerned, but is instead a logical formula which can be used only to classify empiricisms [theories] and to show the relationships which such a classification implies . . these theories are actually tautologies and, as such, cannot make empirically testable predictions. They are not scientific theories at all."
