Creation Science Fair "Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes." Or how about "Women Were Designed For Homemaking" or "Using Prayer To Microevolve Latent Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria". Is this a parody? I hope so (William says it is)



I've done some praying to God and.... just received an answer.<br /> It's a parody.

That link redirects to <A HREF="http://www.startsurfingplus.com/index.asp?id=6">http://www.startsurfingplus.com/index.asp?id=6</A> every time I click on it. Copy and pasting the URL into a new window doesn't work either...

Chris - works fine for me. Odd.

Telnetting to the webserver and asking for the page returns (after a long delay) an error 302 Object Moved. The new location is given as the startsurfingplus address. <br /> <br /> Maybe they took the page down due to high traffic...

For realy amazing bacteria ,without prayer, look at:<br /> <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s886276.htm">http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s886276.htm</a> (see url)

Sadly, I am quite sure it is not a parody. There are people are anti-evolution and unfortunately, they are teaching our children.

I'm with Ann. This might not be a parody, but I'm not entirely sure.<br /> <br /> Visit here <a href="http://mb.sparknotes.com/mb.epl?b=15">http://mb.sparknotes.com/mb.epl?b=15</a><br /> and see some idiots argue some very stupid ideas against evolution.
