Are you trying to tell me that the Bible might not be original thought, and perhaps not even literal truth? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Fascinating video, expertly done…And like all good artwork, it generates intellectual ironies…
Here’s one --- While some of the info was inaccurate (I won’t bore you arguing the trivial) its main theme was completely true…they even left out some compelling new evidence found at Stonehenge and a site in Turkey that bolsters their case…And how do I know this..? Because I pretty much used the same research material in an opinion piece I wrote that defended the teaching of creationism alongside evolution in public schools…
-----
Isn’t it amazing how intelligent people can view the same evidence, then arrive at such disparate conclusions…?

Second, (and it shows I ain’t no hypocrite…) I allowed my 8 year old to watch all three videos….This kid of mine, with ODD who can barely hold it together through church service, sat totally enthralled by the presentation…Then the phone rings downstairs…I go to answer, and by the time I get back, she is halfway into the diatribe of that long-haired freakazoid dropping the f bomb as noun, adjective, verb, and what should have been personal pronoun ……The only reason I didn’t put my fist through the monitor is because the computer is not mine…Instead, I encouraged her to write her own response about how she felt....She said, “I liked the part about God and Jesus because they want people to be nice and get together. But that other man is scary and I think he’s a bully.” end quote

And the phone call..? My atheist sister, wishing me a Merry Christmas

isn't it ironic, don't you think...?
