When the Christian (et al) myths are supported with as much evidence as
the evolution "myth", I'll take them more seriously (where's that Holy
Grail when you need it?) I DARE you to subscribe to net.origins and
WATCH CREATIONISM TORN TO SHREDS DAILY only to have it's proponents
return with more, bogus, OFTEN CONTRADICTORY arguments. 

My favorite posting was the one where the fellow gave two "proofs" for
creationism. Unfortunately, one required that the Earth be no less
than 150,000 years old, while the other claimed that the Earth was only
5000 years old. This marvelous theory doesn't seem to do anybody any
good.
