Creationists, proof that Evolution has a lot of work to do....
"Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if they are an idiot". Wise words.
I have no objection to grown men and women believing in Creationism. I do object to them inflicting such fairy tales on impressionable young minds as fact.

I think someone should start a petition to get Hansel and Grettel taught in History class. Or maybe 'Ancient Egypt: How the Pyramids were built by UFO's'. That's a good one. Basically what these barely simian, sub-literate, fanatically obsessed, 'It's in this book so it must be true!' retards are saying is this:
"We have no way of proving our version of events, but luckily it is so ludicrous that no one can disprove it either! So what we propose is that we debunk the work of someone far more worthwhile than ourselves in order to make our children stupid, just so that they fit nicely into our ideology"
Maybe Darwins theory isn't complete but at least there is substantial evidence to support it. The barely more than 1% genetic difference between Humans and Apes for instance?
No doubt one argument these people will use is 'Where's the missing link?'. I suggest you look in the mirror.
I don't mean any offence to real Christians, I know I always labour this point but it is an important one. It's the difference between a Muslim and those that blow themselves up, they aren't Muslims no matter how many times they read the Koran. Equally these reactionary fossils have no place in modern society.
What makes this even more infuriating is that the parents don't want their kids taught this garbage, the teachers don't want to spout it and all the respected experts involved speak of its folly in the strongest possible terms. So why are these untrained, unknowledgable chimps (sorry, Creations in The Image Of Our Lord) left in charge of these kids education?
[Edit] Sod it! Just realised that this is my 100th post! Damned Reich Wing Christians (Thanks for that one Jo) ruining my 100th post celebrations! Fear Not, I will treat it like the Millenium, i.e it doesn't start until 101. I'll do a celebration post of the beginning of my second century, how's that?[/Edit]

Sheepishly I admit that once, I compared belief in something unprovable with belief in the Tooth Fairy. That offended some people and I've never used that since.
I don't even mind if parents want to teach children about Creationism, but I think that comes part and parcel with parenting and not with a public school education. I would even go as far as to suggest that people who want to live in religious states should move to the Middle East or Israel and leave the US alone. Here in the US the church and state ARE supposed to be separate, for goodness sakes.

p.s. BTW, thanks for visiting my blog!
Quiet! Before iTV create 'Creature Idol!'.
Your Cow/Squirrel Hybrid Idea is an interesting one, though I fear the Grey squirrels may out run them. Personally I am in favour of some kind of Lycanthropic creature. You know? Like a Chihuahua that transforms into some slavering beast whenever it hears the word 'Diddums' or somehting similar and proceeds to rend and devour it's stupid owner. This has the added bonus of ensuring the extermination of Paris Hilton.
Come on God! you've got two diamon suggestions now! You don't even have to do your own thinking! Bring on the Squows and Chew-ow-aaarghs! and chuck in some flying monkeys whiel you're at it!
A MooSquooma eh? Interesting. I agree on your general principles, If the animal is crap we can always wipe it off the face of the earth. I think there may be another option for the higher powers inactivity, perhaps they are still revelling in the Genius of the Duck Billed Platypus? If this is indeed the case - Stop living in the past and reliving past glories and try and recapture those heady days when you were so inspired!
