I like this guy.

They don't believe in alcohol, so they don't drink.
They don't believe in dancing, so they don't dance.
They don't believe in evolution, so they haven't evolved since 1700.

still, this is disturbing news.

when John Paul Stevens dies/quits and Bushco appoints Antonin Scalia v.3.0 (Clarence Thomas is Scalia v.2.0, or Scalia in blackface if you prefer).

The USA is clearly Two Nations; even more so than Britain at the moment. The North East Coast, Mid-Atlantic and some Industrial Midwest States, plus the West Coast, are one (not forgetting probably Iowa and Minnesota). And then we have the South, the West, areas of the midwest, which make up a greater % of sq. km, and are right in the centre of the country. This is effectively Bush America - with some lunatic fundamentalism - while the other, *more secular* (if not entirely so) part is Democrat America, for want of a better word.

Jimmy Carter is sublimely right... though why on earth aren't more people being so vehement in their scorn of these attempts in Georgia?

head over to Slashdot, and read about some of the shit that the guys there have to put up with in their local town(Holland, MI).

also, Michigan is a fucked up state. mostly suburbs or farmland. the west side of the state (around Grand Rapids) has no shortage of religious conservatives, and it's rumored that the KKK moved their capital/headquarters up to Howell, a town between Flint & Ann Arbor.

Cinniblout: Do you dispute the deep divisions that exist in the United States? I have more to learn in detail on certain areas, and will do so, but I think I get an understandable impression that there is a growing Two Nations situation developing.

It all reminds me of the extent to which Britain became in the 1980s (and frankly still is) a Two Nation state, with the West Midlands, North West, North East, Wales, Scotland and Yorkshire a different world to the South (East especially) and possibly the East Midlands. It was a clear division, in terms of power, wealth per capita and type of economy.

There is a great divergence in the US; there is not such an obvious divide in wealth. You would expect the Republicans to be strongest in the richest areas (being the more pro-rich party), but this isn't the case: California, New York and Connecticut were all comfortably held by Gore in the 2000 Election (I presume 3 of the richest, from what I know). Does anyone know which are the actual 5 richest states per capita, out of interest?

Seven sparrows? "The animals came on by twosies twosies" does not suggest there should be an odd number of sparrows. 'Polite' of them not to mention the curse on Ham bs.

that is completely and utterly insane

my sixth-grade Jesus school history textbook was so horribly, horribly racist. Breaking down the differences in races all Bell Curve-y and shit, it was crazy.

"developed from" vs "evolved"

Sparrows be freaky!

1,250,000 animals, including:

* 1,190,200 invertebrates:
o 950,000 insects,
o 70,000 mollusks,
o 40,000 crustaceans,
o 130,200 others;
* 58,808 vertebrates:
o 29,300 fish,
o 5,743 amphibians,
o 8,240 reptiles,
o 10,234 birds, (9799 extant as of 2006)
o 5,416 mammals.

That's quite a spacious ark! God must love variety as much as I do!

That's why He gave us so many all-you-can-eat buffets.

We are so
grateful
for all our many
blessings

$9.99 are you outta your mind???

That page looks way too much like something out of a Jack Chick comic.

ok you know I try to be reasonable these days but does any thinking person not see how a dude can get all GOD KILL KILL KILL over this stuff?

Like ridiculously upset at the ignorance in it? Bcz HELL YES I have to curb that shit something mighty.

Which side of the diagram does tht kid with two faces at the bottom come from?

I don't trust him, he's got kind of a Linda Blair thing in his neck or some evil new dance move that isn't the Virginia reel.

lol at "God" creating the wondrous variety of dogs.

this thread reminds me of this rly great/infuriating childrens book i have called "what REALLY happened to the DINOSAURS?"

in it there is talk of the "institute for creation research" which is an actual thing

When Did Dinosaurs Live?

What's this? Dinosaurs and people together? Some scientists think that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, long before humans lived on the earth. But the Bible tells us the real story. The Bible tells us that God made the dinosaurs on day six of Creation week, only thousands of years ago. Do you know who God also made on day six to take care of the world? Adam and Eve, the first two humans, our great, great, great, great...grandparents. Do you know what this means? Dinosaurs must have lived at the same time as Adam and Eve. Wow! Wouldn't that have been exciting!

Not a great picture, but mustachio'd explorer guy is dry humping the fuck out this dinosaur head.

what really happened to the dinosaurs is that the climate of the earth suddenly changed but they had brains the size of peanuts.

Seriously creationists need to come up with some sort of text book that doesn't even mention evolution/natural selection.

As an idea it seems to me to exist almost entirely as counterpoint.

If you believe that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, you not only have to think evolution is incorrect, but also pretty much the rest of biology, geology, chemistry and physics.

what is this magical mechanism that subsequent generations of dogs used to "develop" into their current state

Seriously creationists need to come up with some sort of text book that doesn't even mention evolution/natural selection.

dood its called the bible

that was written by a bunch of old Jews, we really need to hear the WASP take on this issue

A large claim of Creationists is that you don't need God for creationism.
