I'm just making this up. :)
...Or am I?
Sisterkisser, Arkansas — The Reverend Bubba-Jack
Cottonwollop of the “Internashunl Creyashinist Moovmint” announced today that
his organization has unearthed (this was apparently an intended pun) evidence
of a vast conspiracy of scientists to mislead the world.
“Dinosaurs are fakes,” Rev. Cottonwollop declared. “They was carved by that Isaac Newton and
then put into the ground by Alfred Einstein and Carl… Carl… what’s his name,
you know, that TV atheist on the commie channel who was always saying ‘billions
and billions’? Kind of looked like Pete
Rose if he didn’t eat for a month? That
guy. They went sneaking around putting
fake carved dinosaurs into the ground to be dug up by stupid, wicked people to
turn us all from the Lord.”
When asked how he came to know this, Rev. Cottonwollop
claimed to have seen actual photographic evidence of scientists burying
dinosaur skeletons to be ‘discovered’ later.
When pressed to produce them, he admitted that he did not actually
posses these imagines, but was “shown them, in a dream, by the Lord Jesus Christ
Himself. And as you know, Jesus wouldn’t
lie. And anyway, even if I did have
them, I wouldn’t show them to you because you shouldn’t need proof if you just
have faith. And I have faith.”
Rev. Cottonwollop summed up his statement by scoffing at the
idea of evolution as a mechanism to explain the existence of human beings and
other animals, hauling out, yet again, the tired old saw of the so-called ‘missing
link’. “You see, the problem with those
people is they ain’t never got no proof.
How do they expect anybody to believe that nonsense if they ain’t got no
proof? What, do they think we’re
idiots?”

Nice bit of [slighty scary] nonsense "Ever heard of the saying "faith is belief without proof"? That's not faith, that's psychosis Jane
| Written by jimbo (83 comments posted) 19th August 2007 | I'm often bemused by statements claiming scientists can explain the workings of the Universe except when it comes to the 'Big Bang' itself ... and of the religious communities' reply that those failings to understand the origin of the Universe indicate that a 'Higher Power' must be at work! To me, both views are ridiculous. Only God Him/Her/It self can 'know' everything ... if He/She/It exists. And that's a matter of personal faith. I dare say there will come a time when we do 'know' everything ... and perhaps that will only come when we meet 'God'. It's all faith, in the end. Personally, I like science ... it's nuts! I mean ... Superstrings! You couldn't make it up! Oh, and your story ... wonderfully nuts too, just the way I like 'em. Another good laugh. Cheers.
