When an octopus dies, it quickly decays and liquefies into the oozy slime from which evolutionary scientists claim life began.

Word cannot express how much of a motherf*cking idiot you are.

Just because a thing can evolve doesn't mean it has to evolve.

It's clearly not intelligently designed.

The one thing to which evolutionary scientists will never open their minds is the possibility that life on earth was created, virtually all at once, and not that long ago.

I'm a solipsist, and I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Does every f*cking day have to be a constant assault on good sense ? I'm reaching the point where I'm seriously going to lose it if someone says anything that stupid and I can get my hands on them.

FTFA: "The one thing to which evolutionary scientists will never open their minds is the possibility that life on earth was created, virtually all at once, and not that long ago."

... What?


"Increasingly, that's what the fossilize evidence actually shows - if one is willing to open his mind to the possibility."

"It's funny to me that many of the same scientists who discount the Flood are believers in man-made global warming. While there's plenty of evidence for a worldwide Flood, there's no scientific evidence for man-made global warming. It is a pipedream. It is a hoax to enslave mankind to global authorities."

That man's mustache is an argument against intelligent design, or at least against the idea of a merciful and loving god.

That has to be the worst refutation of the scientific method that I've ever seen. It still baffles me how people like this are proud of their ignorance.

Do these so-called "Scientists" really expect me to believe that this octopus is 95 million years old?

Until I see it's birth certificate, I'm going to have to assume that it's no more than 6000 years old.

Hey, we can both be solipsist. It just means that I'm being a double-solipsist.

Would a solipsist with MPD be an argument for parallel universes?

This guy has some valid points.

I mean, the Blue Ridge Mountains aren't too far from where I live. There's this place--ithas some cool hiking--up in the foothills. And there's this one hillside--all loose shale and crumbling rock--where you can find TONS of fossils. And--get this--they're fossils of seashells. SEASHELLS. In the mountains.

That's right--seashells in the mountains.

So what do these "evolutionists" want you to believe, huh? I'll tell you--they want you to believe that the animals which lived in the seashells "evolved" legs. And then--get this--they walked from the ocean to this hill that's like 1000 feet above sea level. And then they de-evolved legs so they couldn't walk back and died--right there, they died. On that hill. Millions of years ago. And they're still just lying there out in the open.

Yeah, right. Give me a break. You know how those shells got there? God put them there. He put them there as a test of faith. Or he put them there because they were pleasing to him there. He wanted to decorate the hillside with seashells. And--trust me--they are pleasing to see. When you accept God's plan, you can find beauty in all kinds of simple things.

It's a pity that the forces of "evilution" see only nonsense in its stead.

But I digress. It was an interesting article. That's all I wanted to say.

Farah has been a proponent of the Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, stating, "It'll plague Obama throughout his presidency. It'll be a nagging issue and a sore on his administration, much like Monica Lewinsky was on President Bill Clinton," and "It's not going to go away and it will drive a wedge in an already divided public."[10]. Farah has demanded that President-Elect Obama release his official birth certificate.

Actually this is not shocking at all.

Octopus fossils have been found as far back as the Jurassic (180 Million years ago). And while the general morphology of the Octopus has not changed a lot in that time, a great deal of speciation has occurred over that time as the order Octopoda has spread into numerous niches.

Joseph Farah, I hearby award you an honorary Ph.D. in evolutionary biology for your eloquent treatise on Cephalopod evolution. Rarely has such a tome moved me in the way yours has. If only more evolutionary biologists had your drive, insight, and moustache, the world would be a better place.

"Scientists claim to have found turtles 215 million years old. Guess what they look like? You got it. They look just like today's turtles. And, once again, somehow this is evidence for evolution."

and these stupid "scientists" have found hominid fossils that are millions of years old AND GUESS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE???

... wait. can we cut to a commercial?
