As a YEC person myself since a youth from an agnostic family, degreed in chemical engineering and computer programming, I was asked to help with an article against evolution about the evolution of all whales from small dogs jumping in the water, which is belief of most evolutionists. Hawaii has a museum showing this so called Yum-yum dog even though there is no fossil evidence of this dog or any intermediates. They even added a whale/dog sound mix. I guess they had a time machine that took them back millions of years and recorded this dog to whale creature? Anyways, there should be many such fossils as well as millions of living transitional animals alive today. More proof that evolution is based on bizzare faith, not science. It's much easier to believe an all powerful creator/savior made the whales from the start. Don't get me wrong though, if Paris Hilton's little lap dog Tinkerbell jumps in a big hotel pool and changes into a grey whale or some bizarre half whale/half chihuahua creature, I might believe in evolution too.

I hope you do stop in again. When you do, it would help if you distinguished yourself a little; there are more than one Mike posting here already, and it could get confusing. :) Hi Mike,

As a Catholic Christian, the approach by many creationists I find quite silly. I personally beleive in evolutionary theory (but I also see how a "creator" can use the evolutionary process). There are way to many creationists that give many beleivers a bad name simply because they want to chase after junk science to somehow prove a strictly literal interpretation of the bible (when many often will then also use verses metaphorically as well). Talk about speaking out of both sides of the mouth. In some ways I really support the rally. I personally think it makes many of us reasoning beleivers look foolish as if these people really represent all our beleifs. On the other hand, if they are privately funded, I kind of see the let them be stupid on their own side as well. I think sometimes protests only draw more visitors... Interesting (and friendly) conversation. I look forward to stopping in from time to time and at least sharing opinions in a nice open way. There needs to be more of this. Regards, Mike Friendly,

Growing up in my family I spoke satire before I spoke English, so I picked it up right away. There was a very long posting about it here several months ago. I was amazed people didn't see through the joke but unfortunately there are redneck right wing nuts <em>almost</em> that crazy, so it's understandable. Whenever STR finds out that people are calling it satire they come on and deny it, insisting that they mean it and it gets even funnier.
