If we buy all the guns then there won't be any left over for the crazy dudes.

Someone already did. His name is Adam Lanza. Now is only the question of whther we discuss it.

Discuss it elsewhere. It isn't WTF-worthy because everything that can be said on the subject already has been.

It's WTF-worthy that people continue to repeat the same points at each other, apparently believing that it still has a chance of sinking in the 5th or 6th time.

The slideshow doesn't say, but I sincerely hope that this guy isn't trying to claim that two of every animal (six of each "clean" animal, IIRC) could fit on that thing. I bet a trip to the local zoo could disprove that.

There are a couple counters to that; IIRC, Darwin himself suggested that the animals on Noah's Ark were sort of "seeds" that eventually evolved into all the animals we see today.

Or... the ancients knew how to build a DNA database!  Long forgotten secrets now buried with Atlantis.

Even if the events described happened before the Cambrian Explosion, the Ark would still be way too small.

Hell, the Ark would barely be able to hold some cattle for 40 days.

I'm now partial to this interpretation.

Not in approx. 6,000 years, they couldn't. Besides, Darwin may have been a visionary but he didn't have access to all of the knowledge and technology we have today.

It is if you're willing to take a graduated view of church teachings. Hell, even the Pope admits the scientific validity of Evolution, and that it isn't ncessarily contrary to Church Doctrine. It puts God as more of a Invisible Hand though.

Not if it was just two cattle.

Checkmate, atheists.

Two cattle and 40 days of food for them.

Though there are those who take the Papacy's acceptance of evolution to be further proof that they are heretics.
