A loathsome and indefensible lie

From Livejournal, by way of Pharyngula:

The theory of childhood, also known as child origin, is a damnable, loathsome and indefensible lie. How can any thinking person suppose all humans used to be babies once? ...
The development of children has been well-researched in our six-month study following a sample of one thousand children and adults of various ages. We have conclusively proven that while there are minor changes in features like height and body fat ... incontravertibly still every creature in the study that started out as a child had only slightly more adult features at the end of the observation period than at its beginning.
