Don't you think it would be even more interesting if you guys would build an exact replica, using 4000 year old techniques, of Noah's ark, fill it with every living thing on Earth and float it for a year on the open ocean? Surely you could raise donations for such an important undertaking?

It would put any Beagle to shame.

Oh, I think you do. You might want to take a serious look at that, to see if you can figure out why you carry such hatred for an inanimate object, like a scientific theory.

Why??? It was a pretty ugly ship, a converted collier as I recall. Not at all as attractive as other "tall ships."

You have committed a logical fallacy.

No, you have. You equated the Dali Lama with Hitler.

It shouldn't be too hard to fund, just send in donations instead of buying the videos. Should get enough in a couple of years.

Darwin, it seems, is responsible for both communism and capitalism. A universal boogyman.

Dinosaurs on the ark? That reminds me...


Q. What's harder than getting a pregnant Brontosaurus into the ark?

A. Getting a Brontosaurus pregnant in the ark!

(Noah! Make them stop. I'm getting seasick!)

They are a bright light that obliviates superstition and sets the reader on the right path to wisdom and understanding.

They might be a fine moral text, but they have nothing to do with science. For that a CRC is much more useful.

What about the 200,000,000 people who've been killed by doctrines based on Darwins ideas?

Name them. Name ONE. For that matter, name ONE doctine "based on Darwin's ideas."

(hint: Naziism, Fascism, Communism are not based on TToE).

In 50 years that ship will be a dinosaur.

Let's buils a replica now while it's cheap. The SS Galapagos and it's flying iguana circus.
