It makes sense to them because they don't care what is true, or even what
is rational. They use whatever argument will undermine their opponents,
no matter how irrational or bigoted it is. They are irrational and
bigoted themselves, so perhaps it makes sense to them.

I would love to see you support that figure. I would also like to see you
explain why you think evolution is not a theory.
N.B. "<Insert deity here> did it" is not a theory.

Human beings are a unique species. There is nothing in the theory of
evolution that says they aren't.

If you check, you will find that I am arguing that there is *not* a
correlation between brain size and intelligence, within humanity.
You appear to have taken one of my five points and ran away with
it, making assumptions about my opinion which are not supported by
my posts.
