It was hard to decide whether to resurrect this thread, or put this in the humor thread:

No, Roy Comfort is a creationist nutter. That's from his blog ( See the "put this" link).

A follow up. He wrote a book.

Evolution has no explanation for the female for every species in creation,"

I'll consider his argument that man didn't evolve from apes, when he shows me a man from another planet.

And then explains how that man spontaneously appeared without prior iterations. As far as I know Darwin's theory does not specify location at all.

Nothing about what you said precludes the possibility of extraterrestrial apes.
