Attention creationists:

Stay the hell out of my national parks.

Go ahead. Click the link. I'll wait.

Now let me put this in perfectly simple terms. Terms a kindergartener could understand.

If this does not enrage you beyond the definitive capacity of the English language, there is something deeply (and, if you'll pardon me one unintentional pun, fundamentally) wrong with you.

Preposterous bullshit like this is why I have such a huge problem with religion. Things like this are why I'm deliberately tailoring my book to raise the shitstorm of all time among the bible-thumper crowd. To indict the religious community for their wholesale vandalism of the collective knowledge of the human race. Apparently nobody else is willing to call them on the carpet about it. And I don't care what religion you are, either. This includes my former-fellow Neopagans as well.

You can believe whatever fabricated, fairy-tale, Mister-Rogers-Neighbourhood-Of-Make-Believe bullshit you want in your places of worship, but keep it the hell out of the domain of science and keep it the hell away from anything else that professes knowledge brought about by scientific observation. Your Kansas science textbook fiasco has muddied the waters enough for one decade.

And if you have that much of a problem with accepting the fact that the world has indeed existed for more than 6000, 10000, or whatever other ridiculous figure of years your Bible, Torah, Quran, or Book of Shadows (I told you you weren't safe) tells you it has, then might I suggest you seek the services of a degreed psychological professional and try to avoid unnecessary interaction with the world at large until you understand the difference between sanctimonious horseshit and real scientific theory backed by decades of study and mountains of tangible, demonstrable, quantifiable evidence.

We now return to your regularly scheduled Americhristian brainwashing.
