I live in New Hampshire.

We haven't seen grass since before Thanksgiving.

I saw a crocus 10 days ago, but it's under a half-foot of snow tonight.

If we weren't having a decent day in Iraq I'd be out of sorts.

Ho hum. Give a monkey (or an evolutionist) a piano and endless time and either may accidently play a piano concerto.

The "snowball" theory suggests that about 750 million years ago the Earth was covered with ice up to a kilometre thick, even in what are now the tropics. By comparison, the last ice age, which ended 10,000 years ago, glaciers reached only as far south as where New York is today.

According to standard theories, the earth and the sun both would have been hotter a billion or so years ago than they are now. You can't have your cake and eat it too in science any more than in other walks of life.

So, the theory seems to be that when it got real cold, they snuggled together to keep warm.

Needs a bit more work.

The appearance of the Earth's first multicelled organisms – which ultimately gave rise to humans – may have been triggered by the end of a super ice age in which the planet was a "snowball" for millions of years, scientists say. -article-

Methinks that if the earth had been a snowball up until 750 million years ago, we would long ago have found evidence of it. This looks like a stupid scientist trying to get a little headline on a slow news day.

Super Ice Age 'Gave Evolution A Kick-Start' Independent (UK) ^ | 4-10-2003 | Charles Arthur

The appearance of the Earth's first multicelled organisms – which ultimately gave rise to humans – may have been triggered by the end of a super ice age in which the planet was a "snowball" for millions of years, scientists say.

The end of this ice age could have been the ideal opportunity for an explosion of new life, Andy Knoll, a palaeontologist from Harvard University, told New Scientist magazine. At such times, "you don't have to be good to win the game of evolution, you only have to be better than the other players", he said.

How does one palaeontologist writing his opinion get to mean "scientists say"? Was a vote taken? Was there a petition? Not to mention that he doesn't have any evidence, but what evidence do you need when "Scientists Say"? No, just simply state it as fact in the title and that's about all it takes.

Boiler Plate

Start with the unproven premise that is stated as fact:

The appearance of the Earth's first multicelled organisms – which ultimately gave rise to humans – may have been triggered by the end of a super ice age in which the planet was a "snowball" for millions of years, scientists say.

Refer to abioGenesis 1:1

End with closing quote from article:
"you don't have to be good to win the game of evolution, you only have to be better than the other players"

Pause briefly to laugh at the humor of this statement (both in and out of context)

Then go back to reality…
NOTE: Do not repeat, stay in reality!
