Cool Have fun

A good hour of fun, at least.

The most challenging of the bunch:

If this has already been torn to shreds, please provide me with a link.

As usual, best for last (careful not to swallow your tongue )

Wow. The first "argument" of the first link on that page is "Moon Dust." Need we read further? I've just converted to Young-Earth Creationism ...

Question

Swan-eater, are you a fan of S.M. Stirling? I was just re-reading the "Island In The Sea Of Time" trilogy when i saw your name.

Yeah see, everyone knows that it snows.. and not all snow is yellow.. and therefore the earth must be young or all the snow would be yellow.

(The above is their reasoning roughly summed up).

Ever read Deuteronomy 14:11?
(People take this stuff seriously <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" /> )
A little gamey, but to my liking.

As we look back, we see that each one of the arguments for evolution are now known to be wrong. Featured prominently were supposed vestigial organs, like the appendix or tonsils, once touted as leftovers from an evolutionary past, but now recognized as functioning. Embryonic recapitulation, the idea that the human fetus goes through various evolutionary stages in the mother's womb, surfaced, but this whole idea was disproved decades ago.

Most memorable were the fossil ape-men, but consider the list of evidences: Neanderthal man, known to be fully human; Piltdown man, later discovered to have been due to a fraudulent combination of human skullcap with an ape's jaw; "Java man, consisting of an ape skull and a human femur, found separated by many meters, and later disavowed by its discoverer; and Australopithicus africanus, the skull of an infant ape which typically bore a slight resemblance to a human child's skull. Not entered into the trial, but aired in the press, was Nebraska man, America's own ape-man and thus very popular. This fossil consisted of only one tooth, later discovered to be that of a pig."

What a stupid f*cking story.

Funny, the "biologist" is called "Sam" in this version:
