My bad, I knew that...

...no one has ever found a 4.5 billion year old stone artifact (at the right geological stratum) with the words "Made by God."
No Sense of Obligation by Matt Young

"Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith. I consider the capacity for it terrifying and vile!"
Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

They (Women Marines) don't have a nickname, and they don't need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines.

I was reading your .sig when I got a flashback from a book I read once. It's a must for everyone, both Evilutionists and Creatins:

"Strata" by Terry Pratchett.

Dr. Mabuse - "When the going gets tough, the tough get Duct-tape..."
Dr. Mabuse whisper.mp3

"Equivocation is not just a job, for a creationist it's a way of life..." Dr. Mabuse

I like Terry Pratchett - I'll have to look up the book, thanks.

The answer is 42.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

For those of you who don't know what he is talking about, go to www.google.com, type "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything" and click Google Search.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Either that or read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. I believe 42 is in Life, The Univers, And Everything - though it could be another.

I think that is correct.
Because, 4 + 2 = 6 and on the 7th day he rested.

Here's the real kicker: if just humans were "seeded" from somewhere else, why is it that we share over 98% of our DNA with chimps? And if mammals were what were "seeded" (which makes humans not "special" again), why do we share as much DNA as we do with other tetrapods?





What's even scarier is that we share about 50% of the same genes as bananas.

Although I think some people have more banana genes than me.
