Now back to my original intent. I often find literal creationists offensive I’m sure there are some that aren’t but too often they make my beautiful religion look like a bunch of fools praying to a magical stump of wood. The power of religion is not magic its the belief in a God directed way of life. The bible is not an encyclopedia it is a powerful tool to help us be the best we can be.

When the bible talks about God making man from the dust of the earth there is no more poetic and beautiful way of describing evolution than that.

I have come across many creationist websites online that seek to ridicule evolution rather than preach the Christian way of life. These people think that they are spreading God’s word when they are spreading what I believe is a misinterpretation spurred by their own arrogance, and believe me these folks are arrogant, they make fun of people that believe in evolution they call names and one website even made a video of a person that wrote in to disagree and dressed him up as a clown smoking a cigarette http://www.bvcsm.com/ that is by far the most un-Christian behavior I have seen in a so called Christian website.

I have yet to find one creation website that does not degrade itself in some way. In truth I really wouldn’t mind seeing a good one because although I might disagree everyone has the right to their own opinion. They don’t however have the right to ridicule those that don’t agree with them it is ignorant and in my opinion um-Christian behavior. I am sure these folks believe they are acting as good Christians but it does not look that way to me.

Recently I came across one site that called itself the Missing Universe Museum http://missinguniversemuseum.com/index.html (I’m unsure what that is supposed to mean) and this one is not entirely offensive but it encourages students to give their evolution teachers a test to see if they can defend the theory against a number of questions. The problem again is most of the questions are designed to make fun of the teacher by making him/her fail and not actually elicit a response. I decided to take the test not to see if I could pass it, as it is obvious the test is created to be failed, but to see how it tries to make you fail.

I decided to do this honestly and not look up each answer as I went through the test so I could be wrong in my responses if so feel free to comment on the answers or provide better ones if possible.

Missing Universe Museum
Evolution Test

1. Which evolved first, male or female?

Neither they evolved together, In reality there is little difference between male and female in the womb we all begin as Female. Males are only marginally necessary parthenogenesis happens in many species and if you believe in the virgin birth of Jesus you should also know it is possible with humankind.

2. How many millions of years elapsed between the first male and first female?

See answer above

3. List at least 9 of the false assumptions made with radioactive dating methods.

All assumptions have the possibility of being true or false just as one example where an assumption fails can mean an assumption is false it can also mean that the observed failure was not done so under optimum conditions like the assumption that the only loss of the isotope is due to the decay process. Under ideal conditions the only loss of the isotope is very likely due solely to the decay process. Radio Carbon dating may not be infallible but in conjunction with other methods such as dendrochronology it has become relatively accurate

4. Why hasn’t any extinct creature re-evolved after millions of years?

You need to read evolution theory again it is “Random Mutation” the possibility of a creature made up billions of random mutations happening twice is so unlikely as to be impossible.

5. Which came first:
…the eye,
…the eyelid,
…the eyebrow,
…the eye sockets,
…the eye muscles,
…the eye lashes,
…the tear ducts,
…the brain’s interpretation of light?

Simple celled organisms react to light this came before all of the above, and only a detailed examination of the evolution of the eye would place these in correct chronology. Given that not all evolutionary steps can or will be found the question is unanswerable but you knew that when you asked it.

6. How many millions of years between each in question 5?

See answer above

7. If we all evolved from a common ancestor, why can’t all the different species mate with one another and produce fertile offspring?

Because the farther a creature is from its common ancestry the less chance of successful reproduction, by the way you do know that some can, what do you think a mule is?

8. List any of the millions of creatures in just five stages of its evolution showing the progression of a new organ of any kind. When you have done this, you can collect the millions of dollars in rewards offered for proof of evolution!

See response to question 5 again you knew that the question was unanswerable. Take a pink marble smash it burn it and dilute it in a trillion gallons of sea water then ask a person to tell you what colour the marble was. A scientist may be able to answer that question but there are too many variables to get an accurate answer.

9. Why is it that the very things that would prove Evolution (transitional forms) are still missing?

Transitional forms or transitional fossils are mans way of imposing order on a continuum which does not allow for such. Scientists, do not use the terms as they are misleading and inaccurate.

10. Explain why something as complex as human life could happen by chance, but something as simple as a coin must have a creator. (Show your math solution.)

I am not a mathematician so I can’t provide a complete mathematical model while I am sure Chaos theory might eventually lead to a mathematical solution here is the best metaphor I can find. Jackson Pollack’s abstract impressionist paintings are in the eyes of many very beautiful even though most of his creative processes where purely accidental as he poured splashed spit and stuck cigarette butts to his canvasses. His creations were extraordinarily complex and often created more by accident than by design,

11. Why aren’t any fossils or coal or oil being formed today?

You are begging the question here (a logical fallacy) you are saying why isn’t something happening when the truth is it is happening but so slowly that humans will not ever perceive it as we will likely not exist by the time evidence is recordable.

12. List 50 vestigial or useless organs or appendages in the human body.

Why fifty isn’t one like our appendix enough. The problem is for every one found some one will have a theory for its use. That said we have evolved enough beneficial organs to keep us viable so what if we carry around a bunch of evolutionary junk

13. Why hasn’t anyone collected the millions of dollars in rewards for proof of evolution?

I believe in God but I can’t prove he exists how is this different? We all know the preponderance of evidence is not proof but can we really prove anything to everyone’s satisfaction? no.

14. If life began hundreds of millions of years ago, why is the earth still under populated?

Again this is a fallacy earth is over populated and have you forgotten people die and species become extinct.

15. Why hasn’t evolution duplicated all species on all continents?

See response to question 4

Enough said …….

He rants about immigrants and tirades on the evil lefties and Liberals.

He’s a Fraud folks

Green was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. He’s and Immigrant.
He sought the Liberal party nomination for the Pontiac riding in the 1968
He ran for the Ontario Liberal Party in a provincial by-election in Ottawa Centre in 1984.

If he hadn’t been so pathetic as a campaigner he would have won and been a Liberal to this day as it happens he is just a bitter old has been. Oh Correction a bitter old NEVER WAS.

But People still do these things – WHY – ?

Last month the Government restored the Royal moniker to our military forces the Royal Canadian Navy and The Royal Canadian Army etc..

Now this month they are requiring all embassies to hang a picture of the Queen.

Why do I feel we are turning into the Canada of the 1950′s.

I recently had my roof redone (or part of it) by a local roofing company and they did an amazing job the guy that was in charge was intelligent friendly and the quote was fair and he did not even run down his competition. He fixed stuff that was not in the quote and he left the place spotless when he and his crew left.

Thanks Perry here is a shout out for your company….

Okay folks though I am sure you will call this a fake take a look at this new NASA image of what was left behind when people walked on the moon.

One day we will have telescopes with a resolution good enough to see this from Earth then how are Moon landing deniers going to refute the claim? Oh it’s just a projection that NASA is creating?

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we�ll change the world.”

Jack Layton

Toronto, Ontario

Dear Friends,

Tens of thousands of Canadians have written to me in recent weeks to wish me well. I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughtful, inspiring and often beautiful notes, cards and gifts. Your spirit and love have lit up my home, my spirit, and my determination.

Unfortunately my treatment has not worked out as I hoped. So I am giving this letter to my partner Olivia to share with you in the circumstance in which I cannot continue.

I recommend that Hull-Aylmer MP Nycole Turmel continue her work as our interim leader until a permanent successor is elected.

I recommend the party hold a leadership vote as early as possible in the New Year, on approximately the same timelines as in 2003, so that our new leader has ample time to reconsolidate our team, renew our party and our program, and move forward towards the next election.

A few additional thoughts:

To other Canadians who are on journeys to defeat cancer and to live their lives, I say this: please don’t be discouraged that my own journey hasn’t gone as well as I had hoped. You must not lose your own hope. Treatments and therapies have never been better in the face of this disease. You have every reason to be optimistic, determined, and focused on the future. My only other advice is to cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey, as I have done this summer.

To the members of my party: we’ve done remarkable things together in the past eight years. It has been a privilege to lead the New Democratic Party and I am most grateful for your confidence, your support, and the endless hours of volunteer commitment you have devoted to our cause. There will be those who will try to persuade you to give up our cause. But that cause is much bigger than any one leader. Answer them by recommitting with energy and determination to our work. Remember our proud history of social justice, universal health care, public pensions and making sure no one is left behind. Let’s continue to move forward. Let’s demonstrate in everything we do in the four years before us that we are ready to serve our beloved Canada as its next government.

To the members of our parliamentary caucus: I have been privileged to work with each and every one of you. Our caucus meetings were always the highlight of my week. It has been my role to ask a great deal from you. And now I am going to do so again. Canadians will be closely watching you in the months to come. Colleagues, I know you will make the tens of thousands of members of our party proud of you by demonstrating the same seamless teamwork and solidarity that has earned us the confidence of millions of Canadians in the recent election.

To my fellow Quebecers: On May 2nd, you made an historic decision. You decided that the way to replace Canada’s Conservative federal government with something better was by working together in partnership with progressive-minded Canadians across the country. You made the right decision then; it is still the right decision today; and it will be the right decision right through to the next election, when we will succeed, together. You have elected a superb team of New Democrats to Parliament. They are going to be doing remarkable things in the years to come to make this country better for us all.

To young Canadians: All my life I have worked to make things better. Hope and optimism have defined my political career, and I continue to be hopeful and optimistic about Canada. Young people have been a great source of inspiration for me. I have met and talked with so many of you about your dreams, your frustrations, and your ideas for change. More and more, you are engaging in politics because you want to change things for the better. Many of you have placed your trust in our party. As my time in political life draws to a close I want to share with you my belief in your power to change this country and this world. There are great challenges before you, from the overwhelming nature of climate change to the unfairness of an economy that excludes so many from our collective wealth, and the changes necessary to build a more inclusive and generous Canada. I believe in you. Your energy, your vision, your passion for justice are exactly what this country needs today. You need to be at the heart of our economy, our political life, and our plans for the present and the future.

And finally, to all Canadians: Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one – a country of greater equality, justice, and opportunity. We can build a prosperous economy and a society that shares its benefits more fairly. We can look after our seniors. We can offer better futures for our children. We can do our part to save the world’s environment. We can restore our good name in the world. We can do all of these things because we finally have a party system at the national level where there are real choices; where your vote matters; where working for change can actually bring about change. In the months and years to come, New Democrats will put a compelling new alternative to you. My colleagues in our party are an impressive, committed team. Give them a careful hearing; consider the alternatives; and consider that we can be a better, fairer, more equal country by working together. Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

All my very best,

Jack Layton

troll definition

an internet user who sends inflammatory or provocative messages designed to elicit negative responses or start a flame-war. (As a fisherman trolls for an unsuspecting fish.) : Don’t answer those silly messages. Some troll is just looking for an argument.

Trolls can be fun but generally they are just annoying because at some point they just boil the debate down to “I’m Right and YOU SUCK”.

How do you identify a Troll? Not always easy some folks are just grumpy this does not make them a Troll. The best way to find a Troll is to look for someone that agrees with nothing and starts with insults. Here is a list of comments on The CBC website by a reader who calls him/herself Jgoyum. Do you think this person falls under the label Troll?

Believe the people who do not have an agenda to fill. Go on and believe these lying, paid, con-men who pass themselves off as scientists.(yes lying, as has been proven, Right Phil Jones?

Possibly this person just hates science but my money is on the fact that Jgoyum is just a TROLL.

“You vanna bet if Hitler vas ere today dere vould be millions of idiots kissing his evil ass.”

I disagreed vehemently then. But Trudeau was the PM the “right” was relegated to Western farmers and no one knew who Osama Bin Laden was or cared. The biggest threat was Russian Communism. Pat Robertson was just another televangelist bilking old women out of grocery money.

Now what has happened.

Well the world is polarized into camps religiously and politically the moderates have been marginalized and the right seems to be holding on to power even as the world spirals down into an economic mess of their making. So what happens next? Oh yes the US has a democratic government with a black president but even with this progress there is still the GOP holding the country hostage on the debt ceiling the Tea Party, Glen Beck, Rush Limbough etc…. In Canada we have the benign dictatorship of the CPC the evolution of the Reform party and in Europe we have France banning religious clothing.

Multiculturalism which was praised as such a great thing is now the target of terrorists. Look at Norway the land of utter tolerance the home of the Nobel Peace Prize shaken under the attack of one lone lunatic. But in the media people like Beck are hinting he (the lunatic) might have a point.

Was Grandma right?

It certainly makes you wonder about that moral superiority we had in the 70′s As times change are we so certain if a new powerful leader came up would many not look to him to solve the so called Multicultural problem to take on the dreaded Muslims as Hitler took on the dreaded Jews. I think Hitler was the biggest monster that was ever born but when people like Beck belittle him by comparing him to the government of Norway are we looking at the same sort of society that arose before the war? When a Tea Party supporter can paint his car with a slogan that calls the President HALF WHITE and not have his vehicle trashed by both white people and blacks, what are we coming to?

Much as we might like to say Ignore the Becks and Limboughs and the Crazy Tea Partiers we do so at our peril. As the saying goes “Times are a changing” but unfortunately not always in a good way. What we need to do is keep pulling the political cord to the left. As we have seen in our last election and as we see in the US It is now anyone’s call as to how things go, and there is no certainty of social progress unless we work at it. In today’s society only the apathetic lose.

Once Again Glen Beck Proves to the world he is America’s number one Dumb Sack of Crap (DSC).

On his drivelous show he he compares Norway’s Labour Party Youth Camp to Hitler Youth.

Okay Glen who was the Hitler in this case that would be the guy in the home-made uniform with the Gun and waving the MANIFESTO not the Labour Party.

I guess Beck has never heard of Young Republican Camp? (or Meetups as they call them)

Also what about the Tea Party camp called the Tampa 912 Project that promises to teach Florida kids about the principles on which the group says America was founded on (guess who once supported this group Hey Glen remember this).

Torbjorn Eriksen, a former press secretary to Norway prime minister said this was a “new low” for Beck. Sorry Torbjorn you don’t listen to Beck enough he definitely can go lower.

Glen dances around the Fascist border (or at Least Fascist Corporatism) so often he might as well just come out of the closet with his own homemade Uniform on singing the praises of David Duke at least then he would be honest.

Beck you’re an Idiot! (one of the few people I freely get Ad Hominem on – him and Fred Phelps)

But one person commented:

This is just plain sheer humor and people still try to tie this in with politics. Can you just get your heads out of the politics for even a moment?

He was right it was just plain humor and therefore Why anyone would really take comments serious enough to get annoyed is beyond me.
That said in response to this a person commented with the truest words of humour I have heard and also the most Canadian perspective I have heard in a while so posted here is
