Compare that with the Bible, which tells us that Earth was created on the first day, and the Sun was created on the fourth day. (What did Earth circle around the first three days, Professor Smartypants?)

Wow. I give! I bow to the superior logic and the use of the phrase "Professor Smartypants."

Gloom, they can't say that he raped her unless HE says it, or he's found guilty of it in a court of law. It's a libel issue.

Me. Duh.

OK, you know how scientists are arguing about how many planets we have?

Now I wanna ask the guy, "If there was no sun, just the earth, how could there be days, Non-professor Stupidpants?"

That was going to be my next question -- when it's a clear-cut case of statutory rape (at minimum), is it still libel to say so? (Since saying "statutory rape" doesn't define anything legally except for their respective ages.)
