Last night at about 7:30, I was flipping though the channels. I came across one of the Jesus channels(the one with the little crown in the lower right corner).
They had some jack-ass named Billy somebody, who claimed to be a geologist. It was a lying creationist orgy. This fucker pulled out every tired argument ever made. The host would interupt him after every sentence to say how important it was that everyone know this bullshit. It was enraging and sickening all at the same time.
I can't seem to find any thing on the web. I'll find the channel tonight and look into it.

If it had a crown, it's probably TBN (Trinity Broadcast Network), home of Paul and Jan Crouch.

TBN

Even years later, I still giggle over the name "crouch".

. . . . can someone please direct me to a Xtian channel which doesn't lie? You know, about those little things like the fact that there is no god, no heaven, no original sin, no devil, no global flood, no serpent in the garden, etc and so on.

I saw the same show and I was appalled by that dotard of a geologists( i wonder what his credentials really are).

What really bothered me is they mistated the positions of biologists and and stated some actual facts as if they discovered them. For example, they implied that evolutionists believe that animals(turtles, finches, etc) evolved from single cell organisms on the Galapagos islands. Then they corrected us on how some animals arrived on the islands or were there since creation(10,000 years ago).

They tried to say that the animals on the Galapagos were just "variations within species" and not evolved from parent species from off the island. The geologists proof on this matter was his observation that the turtles on the islands "look like regular box turtles to me".

What do we need research for when we have rambling senile creationists to explain things for us.
