Thumbs up

More interesting and entertaining than <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=001311" target="_blank">my refutation</a> of it, i guess.

But how come I can only see one page? Oh, you better get a backup server for it. Chick is notorius for shutting down critics who use his "art."

Well, it would appear that that page has become a little too popular, as Geocities is saying it'll be up again in an hour. Oh well.

More a mockery of Hovind's stupidity than anything else.

I had a look around that Chick's publications site. Here's why they like to use cartoons that are big on crap and small on fact:

"Before you can share the gospel with someone, you must first get their attention. The world knows how to get and hold people's attention... with pictures! Television, movies, videos, comics, etc. Chick tracts use the same technique, using irresistible cartoon pictures to grab the reader's attention. Nobody, young or old, can resist cartoons."

Isn't it scary how they "use irresistable cartoon pictures to grab the reader's attention" rather than, say, logic?

Rimstalker, also, I didn't write this. I found it on alt.atheism...or it might've been talk.origins. Forgot.

They still have that embarrassing astronomy error:

Hipparcos did not measure anything 500 million light years away. It did measurements of objects within the Galaxy and close by objects in the Galaxy at that.

Great links folks, highly amusing, <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" />

But please tell me that the footnote about 2 supreme court judges voting for creation science isn't true
