National Trust? National Disgrace!

I was passed the following link by Joe @ExpandingInward on Twitter, and it's deserving a quick blog.

The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland is a wonderful natural formation of coastline rocks that has amazed many for centuries. Do we know how it was formed? Yes, we do. Was it in Noah's Flood? No, it was not. So here's my opinion on this insanity.

Tragedy: A reason to praise God?

As readers of my blog will know, I frequent a few creationist pages on Facebook. One I visit a lot of late is called Atheism, Satanism and Humanism vs Biblical Christianity where the admin range from asinine scripture quoting wastes of a multi-cellular organism such as the creator, Kim Balogh, to the vile little Nyles Seru.

We have met Nyles before, he is the obnoxious admin who chose to invade my personal wall on Facebook and refused to leave until I was forced to change my privacy settings. He recently said that another member needed her wall invading. This is clearly not a nice man and this update will show just how much he is not a nice man.

A tale of Creationists & Continental Drift

Ok, where to being … hmmm … let’s make sure we’re all sane, ok?

You all know the Earth was formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago, right? Good.

You also know that tectonic drift moves the continents slowly over time? Good.

You also know that it was tectonic drift, along with other geological mechanisms, that created many of our mountains? Good.

Now, had I asked a Creationist they’d have answered “No, that’s wrong!” to each of those questions. They are, to put it mildly, in danger of being the intellectual inferior of a mentally challenged cabbage.

Allow me to recount a recent encounter with such a Creationist, an Admin on a Creationists’ Facebook Page.
