The Big Bang and Evolution are the mechanisms God used to create the Universe. By better understanding the natural laws that God laid down we better understand the nature and mind of God. Truly, this is a non-issue.

"The God of Scripture who can do anything" vs "And most importantly, God does not change." Two completely contradictory statements in the same paragraph. No wonder you can't argue any sense into these people.

I can't understand how people can believe something written a couple of thousand of years ago as though the people back then had some direct link to their creator... I mean come on, if he spoke to folks back then, why wait two thousand years before picking up the phone again?

I can't even get into this argument, because I find divinity and creationism so dully ignorant. One book vs. science and logic. Ugh. I just can't deal with it.

Wonder if Ken Hamm eats shellfish and only wears clothing made out of one material.

While other media outlets concentrate on Francis saying that God is not a magician, I grieve that a pope would dare to say that God is not divine.

Hey, better than arriving too early to the party, waiting around for a billion years for someone else to show up, while the chips-and-dip get stale.

Being late to the party sucks

One possible solution to the Fermi Paradox (Where are the aliens?) is that the party happened a long time ago, and the human race is one of the last to attend. Studies of other galaxies have led astronomers to the conclusion that the peak rate of star formation in the universe was between 7-11 billion years ago, so…

this is my favorite vampire.

Well done. But I am inherently dubious of anything that turns a lawyer into a hero.

Wow, he has somd nice eyelashes

Londo Mollari from Babylon 5

A Centari Politician so intent on his people regaining their rightful place in the Universe that he did some horrendous things that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Not sci-fi or fantasy by any means, but Mark from Peep Show just can't keep from fucking up constantly.

I've heard of this before, and was under the impression we have enough other ways to validate the time span between two events to know there was no 300 year gap.

...and the stupid just keeps on coming!

Interesting stuff, although I am not sure what to make of it, especially this:

It's crucial to the outcome that the alpha baboons weren't murdered, imprisioned or executed. It was a food born plague and bad luck. Any society that tries to replicate the results by executions is going to wind up with an extraordinarily violent class of alphas and a violent underclass of rebellious, scheming, or…

Thank you. In case you hadn't noticed, I have a soft spot for gifs. (You might also enjoy this.)
