hayleysaurusrex, an interesting, if nonsensical creationist page about vestigial organs. I do not understand any of this as it is clearly written by moon people or something, but look how awesome evolution is compared to creationism:

That's right, you godless heathens! Evolution will give you a face like Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean and eye-nipples.
Wait, why is this a problem? Evolution is badass.
roter_terror, who also posted an excellent analysis of capitalism and health care, also informed the internets about a BBC miniseries called the Fall of Eagles, which reportedly stars Patrick Stewart as Lenin.
Evidence:

I clearly need to see this, like, yesterday.

Date: 2009-09-05 02:51 pm (UTC)Is it basically saying that if evolution was correct, people would look like the mutant on the right? Or, in other words, "if things weren't how they are now, they'd be some other way" ...? I like it when creationists make that argument.
If that's what it's even saying! I can't really tell.
Man, that series looks good, if it indeed it's Stewart as Lenin.

I wouldn't imagine that crazy fundagelicals are too into Lovecraft, but I've been surprised before.

Patrick Stewart as Lenin is Hawt, almost as Hawt as Geoffrey Rush as Trotsky in "Frida".

I'm one of the few heterosexual women in the universe who doesn't find Patrick Stewart, in any role, hawt. What's wrong with me?

Date: 2009-09-05 08:18 pm (UTC)the fact that this person exists is proof of evolution from lower life forms and those "useless", "pointless", "senseless" tags should be affixed to a photo of the author.

Date: 2009-09-05 10:00 pm (UTC)But seriously, I'm pretty sure "Just Because" describes creationism far better than evolution. Only Nuwaubianism and the belief that Dolphins came from Sirius/that autistic children are just dolphins in human form exceed that kind of creationism in stupidity.
