With sincerest apolgetics to Seger Chevrolet:

Stood there boldly
Flamin' in the sun
Felt like a million eons
Felt like number one
The height of arrogance
I'd never believed that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Looking for missing links
Not a fossil to spare
But I was foolish and
Deceived everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My Descent had purpose
My posts were quick and slight
And I held firmly
To what I believed was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was right as Darwin could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I flamed arrow straight
Unencumbered by the contrary weight
Of all these Creationists and their facts
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my evolution, religiously

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
twenty years
I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the monitors' light
The Creationist comes callin' and is mostly right
And I recall
recall

Like a rock. Flamin' arrow straight
Like a rock, pingin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' Darwins' weight

Like a crock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the Inherited wind
Like a rock, I see myself down again
Like a rock

I'm laughing too hard to type. Hey Remedy, ever think to check up on "Dr." Jerry Bergman? Google search is name and the first page is AiG. Fair enough. AiG has the gall to proudly post this:

Jerry Bergman has seven degrees including:
Ph.D. in human biology from Columbia Pacific University

Next, we google this "University" I've never heard of and find this:

Court Orders Columbia Pacific University
to Cease Operating Illegally in California

"CPU, founded in 1978, is a private, nonaccredited correspondence school that offered programs leading to bachelors, masters, and doctorate-level "degrees" in various subjects." find more here:

You creationists... Once again LYING, CHEATING, and LACKING ALL MORALS. Give it a rest, please!

Nice work, Remedy. I see that all the Usual Suspects have rung one another up and will surely soon begin laughing and scratching. As they yabber, they bump, so all is not lost. It will be most interesting to see whether any of their comments at all relate to the content your post. The Evols are best at ridicule but will ignore substantive contrary evidence. But I'm sure you know this. Darwin ain't doin' so well these days and I'm wondering how long all these "everybody knows" hangers-on will keep darting to and fro on the deck of a sinking ship ... ;-}

Thanks for the ping.
