There's also no proof that the Flute Playing Locust doesn't exist.

Aah, the favorite evolutionist excuse! It is also often phrased as 'lack of proof is not proof of lack'. It may be good rhetoric, but it is awful science. With such nonsense one can prove just about any nonsense proposition - even a few which are more ridiculous than evolution.

You have exactly turnd my statement backwards. Did you fail to read what I wrote or did you lie because you are a Creationist or did you lie because are a Christian?

My statement was: The lack of evidence for the Flute Playing Locust (or Dagon or Yog Sothoth for that matter) is not evidence for their existence. Absence of evidence really is evidence of absence. This applies to all hypothesized deities including the Aesir.

If you are having trouble reading posts, I suggest you take a remedial English class. If you are lying intentionally, I suggest you take a remedial ethics class.

One of these years the slumbering public, the portion that doesn't homeschool their kids, is going to wake up and say "The Emperor really IS naked! . . . Evolution really IS an Atheistic Fairy Tale! . . . Why are they spending my tax dollars on this propaganda?!" Well, it's happening. Slowly.

Meantime, those of us who have done our homework can just laugh when the True Believers attempt to ridicule us. (Yes, balrog [balrog?], my sense of humor is intact.) When so-called science has to resort to ridicule and diversion (Creationist bashing) to make its case, you know it's not science.
