To quote Lewis Black....."these people look at the Flintstones as if its a documentary."

These Christian Fundis are scary in their enforced stupidity.

Macroevolution is a ridiculous notion, and requires even more faith than Intelligent Design. It's not observable, repeatable, and violates the Second Law of Information and Thermodynamics.

I'm glad the U.S. is a free country, where differing ideologies are accepted and encouraged...innovation.

If everyone is doing the same science, with the same worldview, innovation stalls. New, fresh and differing models should be encouraged. Keeps everybody on their toes. For ToE advocates to say their worldview is the only correct view is the very equivalent of fundies forcing their worldview upon ToE types. Religion, basically.

Depends on the reference point. If The Big Bang is true, and if The Theory of Relativity is true, then absolute time doesn't exist...only relative time.
Time dilation is the phenomenon whereby an observer finds that another's clock which is physically identical to their own is ticking at a slower rate as measured by their own clock. This is often taken to mean that time has "slowed down" for the other clock, but that is only true in the context of the observer's frame of reference. Locally, time is always passing at the same rate. The time dilation phenomenon applies to any process that manifests change over time.

Reminds me Eric Clapton's song: Living on Tulsa Time. 8)

Unfortunately that's the case for many so-called Christians.

By the way, Jesus hated the club's (Pharisees') behavior.

He was very anti-club.

Anyway, I'm shooting away...this first ones' a honker. 8)
