Re: a simple fine

Actually, Scottie, it's not worth bothering about.

I made a passing reference to a play when I was describing the nonsense that
took place between me and Daniel a while back and why I did not want to get
sucked into it again. I referred specifically to two characters in the play.

Daniel then cited a website called "answersingenesis" (get it?) where some
guy bothered to list all the ways in which the play differed from the real,
historical event which the play took as its starting point. This included deep,
critical insights like "Reverend Jeremiah Brown and the prayer meeting are
fictitious." Imagine, fictional characters in a drama.

Anyway, this is all completely irrelevant, because I was saying nothing about
the real trial or its real participants -- I was comparing the nonsense that
took place between Daniel and me to the nonsense that takes place between the
two characters in the play and remarking that we all know how the play turns
out, much like our discussions, and that I was tired of playing Drummond to
Daniel's Brady. If the shoe fits...

In any case, for some reason, much like Brady at the microphone at the play's
end, Daniel felt compelled to then offer us this long comparison contrast of
the play and the real events. All from a creationist website, that elsewhere
tells us:

"Evolution is a predominant worldview that justifies the secular humanistic
attitudes of our day, to the detriment of many nations (e.g. increased
abortion, lawlessness, atheism, unbelief in the Bible, etc.). Secular evolutionists
have built an entire worldview based on their faulty interpretation of the
evidence. The facts of the real world actually conform to-and confirm-the Bible.
Using real science, AiG's highly trained scientists have demonstrated that when
properly understood, science confirms the origins interpretation built upon
the Bible."

There's lots more goodies on the site, like a logical gem called "Creation,
Where's the Proof?" and a radio discussion available called "Sea Lions or
Monkeys -- Who's the Smartest?"

And there this page: http://www.answersingenesis.org/museum/ which links you
to info about the upcoming "Creation Museum."

It's almost too good for words. :)

But finally, wonderfully, there is this, from the same site:

"As you add up all of the dates, and accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, came to Earth almost 2000 years ago, we come to the conclusion that the
creation of the Earth and animals (including the dinosaurs) occurred only
thousands of years ago (perhaps only 6000!), not millions of years. Thus, if the
Bible is right (and it is!), dinosaurs must have lived within the past thousands
of years."

Man, will someone please stop filling this barrel with fish?

Love ya',

--John (happy as a thousand year old clam)
