		<description>All you can do is mock YECs, since you can&#039;t beat them with facts.

If it wasn&#039;t so close to the truth, this would be considered a mockery of evolution... The Theory of Evolution is like the fairy tale called The Princess and the Frog Prince. The only difference between the two is, that in The Princess and the Frog Prince, the frog is turned into a man with a kiss. In the Theory of Evolution, the frog is turned into a man by using millions of years.

Now, instead of mockery, can the evolutionists ever show us one piece of solid evidence that backs up evolution? How about the millions of transitionals that should be running around outside? Where are the millions of transitionals in the fossil record? Where is the &quot;common ancestor&quot; between humans and chimps?  Can anything be proven without using drawings, charts, computer graphics and empty words?</description>

		<description>You have got to show this to Randall Munroe, creator of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xkcd.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;xkcd&lt;/a&gt;.  He has a... thing... about velociraptors.

Hilarious webcomic, btw.  One of the best on the intartubes.</description>

		<description>Cairnavon, I showed my little dinosaur expert what you said and showed him the page you referenced.  He and I were both shocked.  And now we definitely have some velociraptor research to do.  About the Utahraptor possibility, he said &quot;Oh yeah, it might!&quot;  And a little light bulb went off over his head.   Thanks!</description>

		<description>EDITED VERSION : Coz Ican&#039;t correcttypos any otherway .. Sigh, (Hint hint)

Nice one.

The problem with parodying Christian fundamentalists is it *does* get so hard to spot the difference betwixt what is said / written / posted as tongue-in-cheek humour and what is actually being seriously proposed / preached / humourlessly believedâ€¦

My favourite fundie joke /serious idea :

Apparently a bunch of Christians wanted to replace the word â€œhelloâ€ which they considered satanic (ie. â€œHell-lo(w)!â€) with â€œHeaven-o!â€

Serious or parody? Iâ€™m not sure now. I think serious but ... who can tell?

You donâ€™t have to make fundamentalists look silly or stupid - they do that very well all by themslves!

That noted, a bit of humour at their absurdities does at least give us a laugh - as do some of their serious comments until you realise how much influence, voting power and damage to individual lives is being done by such rancid baloney.

If it were just one or two sad nutters we could laugh but that so many are so harmed by it and that a whole nation has been so dominated by people that think like that .. That&#039;s where it stops getting so funny and starts get very sad and very scary.</description>
