This, folks, is the enemy. The biggest threat we face is complacency.

Obvious poe is obvious
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I kind of liked the brevity and on topic presentation of his point of view. However, I'm not convinced.

Re: Proof of Creation!
Bored! I agree with the atheist's perspective. From an entertainment perspective the first youtube video (the believer's) is better. It's shorter, snappier, and he switches his hat when he plays a different role.

Re: Proof of Creation!
I wonder why folks have such a hard time with the concept. I mean, of course a dinosaur didn't lay an egg that hatched a bird. A dinosaur laid an egg that was consistent with the DNA of the parents, but not exact. The differences included some drift in the genes, statistically probable differences based on the possible combination of genes, together with possible random mutations. Each generation produces another generation, each bearing the qualities governed by the genes which for one reason or another survive in statistically greater numbers. As time goes on, slight changes from one generation to the next add up to large changes such that it would be impossible for generation 1 to have given birth directly to generation 10,000.Pappa wrote:A dinosaur laid and egg, and out hatched a bird.

I also don't understand what is so awful about the concept that makes people so skittish. It's like it creeps people out, or offends their sense of humanity. To me, it seems that it's either true or false, and whether true or false it changes nothing as far as we are concerned. We still live and breathe the same, it dictates no course of action, no value judgment, no moral system, and no ethical system. It does not mandate that we act like other kinds of animals act, and it does not mandate that we behave badly.
Maybe people just think it says that we must be the same as chimpanzees or something, and that somehow denigrates us as a species. I don't see why they can't just accept the fact that we aren't the same as chimpanzees, and that even if we had chimp or monkey-like ancestors millions of years ago, I don't see why that means we have to think of ourselves as "like" those creatures. We are separated by millions of years. We're different. Who cares?
