Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
I was going to train a frog to spare my thumbs the repetitive stress injuries, but now I see that that will never work.
I suspect a bunch of male priests thought this was a good idea for an ad campaign.
I rather doubt that recruiting from the ranks of people who talk about Real Men and think that Real Men cluster with other Real Men and exclude Real Women is going to help the Catholic Church’s problems — these are not the human beings you’re looking for. Also, isn’t it a little odd to emphasize the masculinity of a profession that demands all of its members be celibate?
I think Cybele had the right idea. Try campaigning on the notion that Real Men cut off their junk in the name of Mary Mother of God and serve as eunuchs. At least that would promote real change in the culture of the church.
And boy do they know how to decorate a Christmas tree.
Wait…I wonder how Fox & Friends would react to seeing this thing called a “Christmas tree”?
Face it: most of the nativity scenes out there suck. The Squidtivity isn’t bad, but it still doesn’t convey the true message of the holidays.
So I made my own.
Have a squamous Christmas and a rugose New Year!
This is so vaguely sourced that you shouldn’t trust it all, so regard it as nothing but a humor item. The Islamic heat is rising in the grocery store.
An Islamic cleric residing in Europe said that women should not be close to bananas or cucumbers, in order to avoid any “sexual thoughts.”
The unnamed sheikh, who was featured in an article on el-Senousa news, was quoted saying that if women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve.
He said that these fruits and vegetables “resemble the male penis” and hence could arouse women or “make them think of sex.” Bikyamasr.com cannot independently verify the accuracy of the news item at time of writing.
He also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women.
It’s ridiculous, it’s funny, it’s stupid, and it’s so blatantly absurd that I’m not going to believe it until I see some confirmation, but still…we live in a world where Islamic clerics declare that allowing women to drive will end virginity, so mere absurdity is no longer sufficient to rule out a story.
Have fun and go visit the Missing Universe Museum online. You will feel as if you are finally getting close to the bottom of human stupidity.
Every page promotes this argument:
If you don’t believe God created all living things, male and female, in 6 days….
How many millions of years was it between the first male and the first female?
It’s idiotic when Ray Comfort says it, and it’s just as inane when whoever put this website together says it.
I had to stop and close the web page at the sight of this, their argument against vestigial organs. You see, if evolution were actually true, and vestigial organs actually existed, then we’d all look like this:
I’m baffled. Why would anyone imagine that a prediction of evolution is that humans should be covered with penises?
I had to add one more thing: their evolution test.
Students, give this test to your teachers. When they fail it, ask them why they are teaching this nonsense!
Teachers, give this test to your students if you really want them to know the truth about evolution!
1. Which evolved first, male or female?
2. How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female?
3. List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods.
4. Why hasn’t any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years?
5. Which came first:
…the eye,
…the eyelid,
…the eyebrow,
…the eye sockets,
…the eye muscles,
…the eye lashes,
…the tear ducts,
…the brain’s interpretation of light?
6. How many millions of years between each in question 5?
7. If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can’t all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring?
8. List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution!
9. Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing?
10. Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.)
11. Why aren’t any fossils or coal or oil being formed today?
12. List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body.
13. Why hasn’t anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution?
14. If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated?
15. Why hasn’t evolution duplicated all species on all continents?
Finals week is next week. Should I give that to my intro students?

These canny engineers have at last realized that the proper model for robots is biological, and have built a soft-bodied walking robot. The future belongs to inflatable technology!
Have no fear. They’re mostly benign.
