Since we're on the topic of cool evolution, check out this article I read for a term paper I wrote about evolution through symbiosis in BIOL 3300:

Solar Powered Slugs

That is some pretty far out stuff. If we could somehow get funtioning chloroplasts in our cells, it would solve world hunger!

LOL!

This is also the first year that Muslim students from the Al-Jannah Islamic school have been invited to participate; two of their students presented a project on human anatomy entitled "Allah (SWT) Created Me" which, while it was found ineligible for a prize due to a number of Biblical inconsistencies, did win a special Interfaith Outreach ribbon.

Thanks for coming out little Abdul... great effort except for your wrong about that Allah part....

Hilarious site... I sense a few Rhodes scholars coming out of there....

Women Were Designed For Homemaking
Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets; biology shows that women were designed to carry un-born babies in their wombs and to feed born babies milk, making them the natural choice for child rearing; social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay; and exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker.
This kid is going to be one hell of a catch for the "lucky" woman that lands him...

Seriously, how can they allow this crap in ANY school at all?

I don't know what to think.

I can't imagine someone would try to pull off a hoax quite that elaborate so maybe it is real.

Also, I'm really surprised the jowfib doesn't make the top 10 in the evolution thingy.

I know, but it's just too perfect a caricature of a religious nut to not be a hoax.

I mean an honest-to-god genuine crying baby Jesus!

And lines like "Mr. Dawkins... makes his own brand of diabolical watches -- watches that tell not time, but lies!" :biglaff:

If I had 10 years to create a spoof site it wouldn't be this good!

Baby Jesus Chastisement Cards (Pkg. of 6)

Send these cards to all those you know who have forsaken the Baby Jesus. How will they answer the Baby Jesus?

I envision a religious nutjob ordering these by the dozens so he can send them to all the heathens in his office then getting the living p*ss beat out of him by a drunken co-worker at a company social function.

I've been searching this site, and it is way worse than you can ever imagine. You really have to look at everything. Check out some of the articles this guy writes. He is out to lunch.

Here is what he says about Apple Computers.:



Quote:
Apple Macintosh: iMac users
Hypnotically encased iMacs trick unsuspecting computer users into accepting Darwinism


However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called... Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, "lickable" buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism.

But is this really such a shock? Lets look for a moment at Apple Computers. Founded by long haired hippies, this company has consistently supported 60's counter-cultural "values"2. But there are even darker undertones to this company than most are aware of. Consider the name of the company and its logo: an apple with a bite taken out of it. This is clearly a reference to the Fall, when Adam and Eve were tempted with an apple3 by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of darkness4.

This company is well known for its cult-like following. It isn't much of a stretch to say that it is a cult. Consider co-founder and leader Steve Jobs' constant exhortation through advertising (i.e. mind control) that its followers should "think different". We have to ask ourselves: "think different than whom or what?" The disturbing answer is that they want us to think different than our Christian upbringing, to reject all the values that we have been taught and to heed not the message of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Given the now obvious anti-Christian and cultish nature of Apple Computers, is it any wonder that they have decided to base their newest operating system on Darwinism? This just reaffirms the position that Darwinism is an inherently anti-Christian philosophy spread through propaganda and subliminal trickery, not a science as its brainwashed followers would have us believe.

Make that 20 years!!! Holy crap (pun intended)

The Halloween Reclaimation one is hilarious. Written by Dr Troy Franklin who has battled Satan up close and personal on many occasions, yet he always manages to come through unscathed thanks to the power of Christ.

Talking about giving "Bible tracts" instead of or with candy for trick or treaters...

For instance, "Bazooka Jesus" brand chewing gum (available at finer Christian supply stores) looks outwardly like popular secular candy, however on the inside of the wrapper are Bible inspired cartoons that open the secularized or occultified child's mind to the Lord.



Mini-KitKat bars work well for hiding personalized Bible tracts since they have an outer label that can be removed, written on, and reattached with ease.

At the bottom of the page, an ad about "Straight Pride" has this catchy slogan...

Show your pride. Get a bride! Got a womb? Get a groom!

Yikes...

And the "Kangaroos of the Middle East"...

What's a kangaroo or two among a great throng of pandas, mastodons, velociraptors, and giraffes?

Velociraptors? On Noah's Ark? OOOOOkay then.

LOL!!! This stuff is so unbelieveably ridiculous I dont even know where to start. This entire site is so full of logic fallicies they should use it in Propositional Logic.

But anyway, onto the fun stuff. Hes even seen a dinosaur!!!

http://objective.jesussave.us/dinoexpedition.html

Quote:
"Put down that weapon! The power of Christ compels you!" I immediately commanded, the words flowing through me as if from Above. The power of my rebuke startled both him and the Apatosaurus, causing the former to turn toward me and issue a blasphemous curse while the latter disappeared down the trail. Before Stubbingwicke could notice that his prey was escaping, I ran to head him off. Now between him and the beast, I dropped my gear, rolled up my sleeves, put my fists up and issued a challenge: "If you want that dinosaur, you will have to get through me first!" Seeing that he had no choice but to deal with me, Stubbingwicke dropped his weapons, uttered some more blasphemies, and came at me with his fists. As I engaged him in fisticuffs, I called out to Johnny to take the camera and hurry down the path to get a photo, which the now-panicked guide nevertheless did.

Like most Atheists, Stubbingwicke was all tough talk, but deep inside he was weak since he did not have the Love of Christ to succor him and give him strength. His cynicism and disbelief proved no match for my Faith and I eventually had him on the defensive. As my fists found their mark as if by Divine guidance, he finally fell to the ground on all fours, too tired and beaten to give any more fight. I stayed my fists and stood over his pathetic, subdued form

I am sure that I heard this exact same story on Those Old Radio Shows on QR about 6 years ago. Oh, and here is a picture of the tough guy that kicked the African hunters ass.....





EDIT: Oh and, not to ruin it for you, but as the author says, "Photographic proof at last!" Ahh ha ha ha, yup! No question there pal!
