2.5 billion years ago, cyanobacteria nearly wiped all life off the Earth by being the first critters to release oxygen as a metabolic waste process which was poisonous to everything else alive at the time and created an ice age that they themselves were ill suited to survive.



was it a "snowball earth" ice age?
planet completely covered in ice from poles to equator?

A liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx.

"Before the class begins you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!"

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who has served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decisions made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.

"How old is this rock?"

The arrogant professor smirked and smugly replied, "4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian"

"Wrong. It's been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real... then it should be an animal now"

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears.

Semper Fi.

I'd do her.



I don't know what it is about this morning, but I just found that to be very funny!

I suspect many of our resident "flying spaghetti monster" believers are having issues with this thread.

Sirs, perhaps there are those among you who believe you are descended from a ape. I suppose there may even be those among you who believe that I am descended from a ape. But I challenge the man to step forward who believes that General Robert E. Lee is descended from a ape.
