> What's a Poofist?

A more accurate description of the fariy-tale of Creationism. God said "Ummm..." and all the critters of the world went "poof" and there they were. The fossils went "poof" and there they were, already made, and made old, showign clearly evidence of evolution (God apparently playign a little prank). The stars and galaxies went "poof" and there they were, billions of lightyears apart, but wioth the light already travelled between.

Yes, it's silly... but that's Poofism for you.

I guess Carl Sagan murmuring "beeeeg baaaang beeeellions" is far more sensible? Faith is not ever going to be entirely sensible, but there is plenty to laugh at, and with high uproar and delight, when the Hans Vavink Protocol gets a head of steam. Und zen! hans waving frantically in air Beelyons of yars, zey happen! Und, vee gets ze eyes, ze ears, ze intellect, ze new and improved fruit flies!
