You take that much glee raking somebodies beliefs like that, your like children...like a big bully who can't get enought of himself in the mirror. I see why you like evolution it allows you to mock your Maker as you see fit!!! Brillant. Just remember there is a judgement day that most Christians and Jews are trying to avoid.
Yeah well, at least in the FSM Heaven there will be stripper factories and beer volcanoes.
Oh, and it doesn't matter one bit how much I happen to like evolution. It's not like I have much of a say in the matter.

Over the last 150 years science has demolished so many of their claims, a trend that shows no sign of weakening, that they know the end of their rule is in sight.

DI blasphemes FSM in an email interview in this USA today article quote:
"It's too bad that they'll get attention for this sort of drivel when we have a robust scientific research program that the media doesn't seem to want to write much about," Discovery Institute spokesman Robert Crowther said in an e-mail interview. The Seattle-based institute is the leading think tank for intelligent-design advocates.
"I'm happy to say I think FSM hurts the evolutionists' program since, by mocking the Christian tradition ... it reinforces the correct impression that there is genuine contempt for biblical faith in that camp," says Mark Coppenger, a pastor who teaches at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. "Besides, the parody is lame, and there are few things more encouraging than cheap shots from one's opponents."
I would actually want to hear about DI's robust scientific research program, but I'll guess it is covered on these pages. |

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine.
I picked up my pen and I walked to the mine.
I copied sixteen ton o' #9 quote,
And the Discovery I. said, "That's, all Gould wrote!"
Ya load sixteen ton and whaddya got?
Nothing but verbiage, meanin' doodly squat.
St. Peter don'cha call me 'cause I can't go......
I owe my soul to a lyin' 'hoe.

| verlch, the amount of time that atheists spend mocking religion corrolates to the amount of time that religious folks spend trying to impose their purely religiously-based morality onto the whole of society. Notice we don't spend much time making fun of Amish people. |
