Apple, perhaps?
Um no.

"Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches." Proverbs 24:3-4
Apple is very rich, thus it must be very wise.

Apple offers developers (like me) a God-given opportunity to make a large amount of money, while schmucks like you are unemployed and broke.

On average Apple users are richer than Linux or PC users (multiple studies, use Yahoo if you are too dumb to find them yourself).

Apple fanboy - Deluded.
Bible thumper - Gullible, ignorant and uneducated.

Now we can add total douchebag to your list of qualities. Keep going, your quite the impressive human being. It just goes to show us all, that some of us have not evolved as far as others. LEt me break that down so you can get it... You are still only a slight bit smarter than an ape.

"Let me ask you this. Since no one challenged the initial idea that bones are probably fake, i'll ask it again -- how can you tell that the researchers didn't just conspire to make clever fakes"

I hate to break this to you, but these arent the only bones that have been found. They have found thousands of them, all over africa, and Homo Erectus all over the world. They have every step of the way that your ancestors took from ape to man. We have DNA evidence that backs it up, we have geologic evidence that backs it up, we have archaeological evidence that backs it up and we have even seen it happening with bacteria, and even our own skin color. It's proven. It's not even up for debate anymore.

I really hope you are joking with this. IF not, its sad how ignorant you are.

Your logic is so weird...

Apple is very rich, thus it must be very wise.

Microsoft is even richer than apple so they must be even wiser...?
