Can this really be? Have I been at this for two weeks? Wow. For a noncommittal person like me we have been together a lifetime. Thanks for the memories.
Well I know that I am late to the party. But I finally sat down and watched the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate. I saw different buzz clips on Bill Maher. I even saw a lay speaker in the congregation give a talk on it at the Unitarian church I go to. But I never really watched the whole thing.
Unbelievable! Even more unbelievable is the fact that over 40% of citizens of the United States believe in creationism. Which means that 4 out of the 10 people you come in contact with tomorrow think the Earth is only 4,000 years old! Despite a giant tree that can be dated to 9,550 years old using the simple third grade science of counting the damn rings and adding them up. Even though Antarctic ice cores contain atmosphere bubbles proven over 680,000 years old these mouth breathers believe that a ancient family built a 500 foot boat that all the animals of the world could live on. Really? I brought a pitt bull home from Hurrican Katrina and I can't keep her from trying to kill my lab. But somehow the lions laid with the lambs seasick or not.
I mean the whole debate was like watching any episode of The X Files. Moulder has an eye full of motor oil and a spaceship causing a huge storm right in front of her and Skully says "No Moulder. I'm sure there's another explanation for this."
To be fair to presumably half my audience. If evolution is true and we are descendants of monkeys then why are there still monkeys? I think that certain monkeys when given the choice to evolve were afraid that they would turn into Ken Ham and opted to stay a monkey.
To be fair to the other 55% of my audience. If man was made "of the dust of the ground", as it says in Genesis 2:7, how come we still have dust?

Michelle Tomko's comedy is a fervent blend of tomboy sensibilities courtesy of the older brothers she grew up with in the Midwest and the barrage of perimenopausal chaos the East Coast world has heaped upon her. She pulls her humor from everyday observations and classic stories of family, travel, pets, and adversity. With razor-sharp crowd work and improvisational skills to the rock-solid timing of a veteran performer, Michelle’s act is not to be missed!
