These ways must be very mysterious indeed, for why would God create both the Cheetah and the Gazelle? Do you think God likes to watch games of life and death from His, Her, or Its comfy throne up in Heaven? And why would God ever dare to design flawed eyes? Maybe Heaven was struck by a Heavenquake and God's pencil made some strange detours? User: White_Wolf May 6, 2008 11:24 AM

Headline Tag: Risque Rating: Good Hits: 435 Comments: 0 Sexpelled: No Intercourse Allowed Sexpelled: No Intercourse Allowed Anticipating success with their feature film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Producers Mark Mathis, Logan Craft and Walt Ruloff have already leaked a teaser trailer for the film's sequel. Their "teach the controversy" slogan seemed to work well in getting the general public to believe that Intelligent Design is a viable alternative scientific theory to Evolution, so the team has moved on to promoting other theories that they feel are being suppressed by the scientific community. Sexpelled: No Intercourse Allowed tells of how Sex Theory has thrived unchallenged in the ivory towers of academia, as the explanation for how new babies are created. Proponents of Stork Theory claim that "Big Sex" has been suppressing their claim that babies are delivered by storks. Furthermore, Stork Theory proponents warn of the serious moral dangers posed by teaching children that sex has a function. They point out that evil dictators such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao all believed in Sex Theory, and they may have even had sex themselves. User: Dosetaker Apr 18, 2008 5:23 AM

Headline Tag: Science Rating: Amazing Hits: 1714 Comments: 19 Dawkins: Universe is Queerer Than We Can Suppose Dawkins: Universe is Queerer Than We Can Suppose Biologist Richard Dawkins makes a case for "thinking the improbable" by looking at how our human frame of reference -- the things we can perceive with our five senses, and understand with our eight-pound brain -- limits our understanding of the universe. Think of it: We can't see atoms, we can't see infrared light, we can't hear ultrasonic frequencies, but we know without a doubt that they exist. What else is out there that we can't yet perceive -- what dimensions of space, what aspects of time, what forms of life? Dawkins calls the human-size frame of reference "Middle World": between the microcosmos of atoms and the macrocosmos of the universe. Middle World thinking limits our ability to see the universe in terms of the improbable, whereas "in the vastness of astronomical space and geological time, that which seems impossible in Middle World might turn out to be inevitable."
