This place doesn’t just take on evolution—it squares off with geology, anthropology,
paleontology, history, chemistry, astronomy, zoology, biology, and good taste.

We start with the creation of the world, and of light. And there you are, immediately—Houston, we have a problem: you get light three days before you get the sun. But that’s fine—we’ve got an answer: the sun is, in fact, what God made to keep the light in. It was an afterthought, a receptacle born out of necessity.

"Is all this righteous ire, all this money, all this Pentecostal flame-throwing the best they can come up with? This cheap county-fair sideshow—this is their best shot? It may be more replete with proof than a Soviet show trial, but this creation is bereft of any soul."

Why didn't Hitch write that article? :cry:

Brilliant! I especially liked
Europeans and other sexual deviants.

On the three-day discrepancy on the creation of light: I used it in a recent essay on my blog as an example of Bible "inerrancy" and got the following comment:
Let me ask you this: If he truly is God then who are we to say that God needs a source to create light? Cannot he do it on his own? Also God refers to himself as "the light" in many passages of the Bible. So if he himself is the light, then there is no need for a source.

Draw your own conclusions, but I spotted that according to this account God created himself on the first day.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. [Macbeth]

It am wicked to mock the afflicted. [BH (Calcutta), failed]

Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope. [Freewheelin' Franklin]

But we should cut the creationists a little slack, because every new bit of evidence, every discovery, is a nightmare for them. Take the ark. The big-boat business poses all sorts of questions. But, again, they’ve got answers. There are models and plans and layouts of the vessel. You can walk through a part of the hull. There’s biblical carpentry and weather reports. And the dinosaurs are on board. (They were probably small ones, the museum helpfully adds.)
