- If it wasn't such a condemnation of education in America, Ray Cote's
- rationalization of the problems with Noah's Ark would be more amusing.
- But, as it stands, it's just depressing. Whenever he is confronted
- with a plain impossibility (eg. all parasites known to man living in
- such a limited number of animals, the lack of seaworthiness of such a
- large wooden ship, the lack of meat for carnivores or of food for
- animals with special diets to eat -- I wonder if the koalas came to
- Noah with eucalyptus trees attached to their backs -- or the
- appearance and disappearance of enough water to flood the entire
- earth), he answers "Gee, God must have done it." The other
- impossibilities he just ignores. There's scientific creationism for
- you in a nutshell.
-
- Can we finally close the book on scientific creationism now?
-
- Oh Ray, what do you want to know about the Cambrian explosion? What
- it is?
