.....the book of Genesis, which was never intended to be a scientific book.

Meh...... that's just your interpretation of it. Were you there when it was written?

Arrg, a theologian, should have expected that...

There's an awful load of eejits in the world as well. I wonder if there's any correlation?

Some also don't believe in dinosaurs.

Clearly not true, we have CC members on here that're older than that!

And some that are also dinosaurs

The UK bloke on 'tour' with all his stuff (hoardings etc) is hilarious.
These people aren't just wrong, they are so far beyond wrong one would need to travel at warp speed just to reach them. They are also so dense, I fear they may collapse into a singularity....

Men and Women are equal in the story, and that Humans are given work to do: looking after the creation they were in, and the writer is very clear that you don't need kinds or priests.

In a world run by kings and priests where women were at the bottom of the pyramid this was pretty revoluutionary politics and theology

You are the reincarnation of John Ball, and I claim my two groats.

Joshua Slocum, the first man to do a solo circumnavigation, stopped off in South Africa on his way home. He'd done more than three quarters of the trip, with his navigation recorded meticulously in his log, and he had stamps and signatures from various officials all over the planet, so he was somewhat surprised when Paul Kruger (oom Paul), the president of South Africa, told him he couldn't possible sail around the world as the world was flat. There are plenty of stupid people on the planet, and the internet now gives them a voice.

Flat Earth, my arriss. We all know the Earth is round, and was created by God in 6 days. God then took the Earthly name of Lemmy, and invented music.

Fake news, gravity doesn't exist so how can anything collapse into singularities. The planet is accelerating upwards at 9.8m/s^2 FACT and that's why we feel what you sheeple call gravity. In this presentation I will

Did someone mention dinosaurs? The Man wants us to believe that they were killed by climate change caused by an asteroid, but here is a real picture of what happened
