If this film were a baby, I think leaving it on a hillside at birth would have been the appropriate course of action.

Quote of the day:

"If you want to take a look at one of the sources of creationist thought, the workshop where the red-hot anvil of pseudoscience and the inflexible hammer of theology are used to forge the balloon animals of creationism, The Journal of Creation (formerly the Creation ex nihilo Technical Journal) is now online … or at least part of it is."
