"Science is a sham!" . . . Please come CAPTION creationist Ken Ham!!!



Ken ("I'm three quarters squirrel&quot Ham is saying: "What the scientists and secularists have missed is the fact that the dinosaurs went extinct because it started raining before Noah had time to get them into the boat. . . . It all makes sense!"

"Why debate the bullshit artist?"

His reply? He just smiled and said "I need the money..." I shook my head, then we had a beer.

I'm in your camp, annabanana. He's my friend, so I'm not gonna give him shit - even when I think he's wrong in giving Ham some level of credibility.

(I think the beer he bought me was to smooth things over, btw.)

to know he's in straits dire enough to go through this... Although, if he manages to enlighten the merely curious (as opposed to those whose minds are made up because, you know... Jesus) then he's doing some good work in the world.

gives my bank account. Once again I'm a fraud, but people want frauds and many are so desperate for confirmation of easy beliefs they'll toss huge $$ for the same recycled shit. I thank them for it. I'm the man with no shame willing to tell the stupid the dumb and laughing all the way to the bank doing it. In a real world I'd be prosecuted for defrauding millions based on easily disproved snake-oil, but in this world I just get to claim it a religious belief and all that sweet money is practically free.
