Dr Pepper Facebook Ad Ignites Evolution Debate

Dr Pepper set off a heated debate over evolution on Thursday after posting an advertisement to its Facebook page, which showed an ape evolving into a man thanks to the discovery of a can of Dr Pepper.

"My ancestors were created in the Garden of Eden," one user posted in response to the advertisement. "I ain't no freaking chimp. No more Dr Pepper for my household. God Bless y'all," Another complained: "this is showing the theory of men evolving from apes. I have lost all respect for Dr Pepper and if Dr Pepper wants business from thousands of people they will need to apologize." (Spellings have been corrected throughout.)

I guess this same person will lose respect for X when X shows something about gravity or germs causing disease. They're THEORIES after all.

How much respect did he have for Dr. Pepper to begin with?

I don't mind Dr. Pepper, but I'm not sure I respect it.

WAY smarter than some of those people bitching about that ad. What they knew about their environment and how to survive, should make you proud to have descended from them and the more primitive people that came before.

Of course the ad doesn't exactly portray what anthropologists believe happened. We didn't evolve from a fully evolved ape species.

True. That poster is dumber than a chimp. Must have gotten stuck at the amoeba stage or something. It is quite obvious that many individuals masquerading as humans never did evolve and now vote Republican.
