Carl Everett teaches science?
I thought all "churchies" don't believe in 'saurs, just Carl was the one who said it on TV.
Only to the Fundies—i.e., take the Bible literally. Some try to place dinosaurs in with the pre-Flood creatures, and that they didn't get to come aboard. I've also heard dinosaur bones being god's little test of faith. To those who accept the Bible as metaphor, it's easier to insert the stuff that actually did happen, like millions of different species that have come and gone.

I'm guessing that from a Judeo-Christian point of view, nothing that god created could ever fully die out because it would contradict devine intent. The dodo killed god.

A) Awesome
B) Unblowupable

The strange thing is Mount Vernon is just a ways north of Columbus, which is a pretty nice, enlightened city by any standard. I'd expect this nonsense to happen in the southern half of the state, which should have been annexed to Kentucky or West Virginia years ago. Or, it probably does happen down there all the time, just no one calls the paper about it.

You might know Ray Comfort from his Adventures in Batshittery with Kirk Cameron. He has a blog. And he has an opinion about wildfires in California. The comments are a must read.

Feel free to disagree and to be passionate about your beliefs (open discussion is healthy), but keep in mind that comments that use cuss words (even "mild" words and abbreviations for cuss words), blasphemy, a lack of civility, or those that fail to give the name “God” or “Jesus” capitals, will be automatically deleted.
jesus christ on a crutch

so do certain forms of heresy count as blasphemy as well? also, what if one is just too lazy to capitalize?
