I'm just guessing here, but the fossil record of increasing complexity of organisms as time has passed is somehow not empirical evidence.
His criteria are a little more stringent. Or rather, his definition of "evolution" is whack.

One could get really, "I'll show you mine if . . . " about that. I mean, I'm assuming the guy doesn't have God the Father Almighty, the Holy Spirit, or the ressurected Jesus Christ on DVD.
And no, The Passion does not count.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Woof, tiggy, that's some house fire.
FWIW, the boyfriend of my college roommate was burned pretty badly our senior year, an electrical burn (he's a plumber), but similarly involving the face and hospitalization. He swole up like crazy at first, including around his eyes, but later the swelling did go down and he came out OK with no vision impairment. (He had only 1st and 2nd burns, and got away with only a couple of scars.)
So, soothing lotions, powerful painkillers, and lots and lots of nice white blood cells to your aunt.

Of course not. It's a trick by the devil, who is a very tricky geologist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, which is what led BoingBoing to offer $ for proof that Jesus is not the Son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

At No. 2 is the liver of Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, which is so durable, Spitz writes, that "when Richards finally passes, they'll line the exterior of the space shuttle with his liver tissue."

My department gets requests for footage of the crucifixion on a regular basis. Most of the time, these requests are eventually clarified to mean reenactments. But only most of the time.
(My favorites are the ones that include helpful comments like "black & white film ok." Because, you know, they didn't have color back then.)

I just wandered over to the original Pastafarian site for the first time in a little while. I didn't know they'd been wiki-ed. And does anyone know anything about a schizm?
