SNL-"and the other 34% believe Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs"

[redstateblues]

That's Bush's base

[Deja Q]

But isn't beastiality punishable by death, thalt shalt not kill?

:rofl:

[MADem]

1. ...on their way to church...n/t

[Spinzonner]

2. That's stupid

Everyone knows they rode Saber-toothed Tigers

[eleny]

3. Tigers named "Baby"? I heard about that somewhere!

[drthais]

4. maybe you have to be from the Bible Belt to get this...

(I'm here in Louisiana, BUT..)

we were choking with laughter over this one

this is COMPLETELY TRUE
and I am here to tell you
that the 34% who think Adam and Eve rode Dinosaurs to Chruch
all live within a few miles of our house

(remember...the world is only 6000 years old, so the dinosaurs
lived with Adam and Eve...it's one of those wacko religious theories
that makes you wonder what planet you're living on...and we hear this ALL THE TIME...these people are deadly serious!)

somebody at SNL must have checked the pulse of the religious freakazoids in order to come up with that joke

[nodehopper]

11. so Adam and Eve were really Fred and Wilmaaaaaa!

[blueblitzkrieg]

6. That me me LOL...lots of good slams in Weekend Update

on Bush and co. Loved Rachel Dratch as Harriet Miers. "We're all unqualified, why am I singled out!"

[faithnotgreed]

5. that is good

thanks for posting that
i can just picture her as harriet miers

some of the best comedy of course is based on not only whats true but what causes you to laugh and then think and then laugh again

gore vidal is a good example

[quaoar]

7. They have developed a whole 'science' of this nonsense

If you want to see just how far they have taken this, go to this site:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v11/i2/dinosaur.asp

Here's a sample:

A watery cataclysm and dinosaur graveyards

For most creationists, the extinction of the dinosaurs, as well as other extinctions, is not a mystery. In fact, the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other creatures has an easy answer—they simply died in the Genesis Flood (except those dinosaurs likely taken on the Ark, which probably died soon after the Flood). Genesis 7:21, 22 states:

‘And all flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.’

Although there are still many unknowns associated with the observed fossil data on dinosaurs, and the information that is available is often incomplete and interpreted within the evolutionary/uniformitarian paradigm, much of what is known so far fits quite well within the Flood paradigm.

The most obvious aspect of dinosaur fossils is that most dinosaurs must have been buried rapidly in water. Alternately, the dinosaurs could also have been entombed in giant mass flows. Based on the random mixing of charcoalised wood with sand found in Colorado and northeastern Wyoming, Edmond Holroyd provides evidence for at least region-wide catastrophic debris flows associated with dinosaur remains.133–135 Furthermore, after burial fossilisation must have proceeded rapidly under special conditions in which minerals moving through the saturated sediments replaced the organic matter. Therefore, it is no surprise that water is closely associated with the burial and fossilisation of the dinosaurs. Clemens states that organisms must be buried rapidly by rare (in his mind 100-year or 500-year events) floods in order to be preserved as fossils.136 The largest dinosaurs must have been buried by even ‘rarer’ floods.

8. PBS actually aired some show a couple months ago about a massive flood

caused by ice dams up in Montana during the last Ice Age that caused MASSIVE erosion.

Didn't seem to quite cover how the layers of sediment varied greatly, though. It was a very weak show, scientifically-speaking, and is probably a good example of what's to come under a Republican-controlled PBS.

9. This is significant: * is being 'Nixonized' as a figure of fun; and SNL is

getting to be funny again.

When mere reference to supporting Dubya draws laughs for its absurdity, Dubya is right where we want him to be. And scandal after scandal is giving the media ever new outlets for revenge against a WH that just pushed them way too hard far too long.

[bleedingheart]

10. you picked up on an important issue...SNL was best when it was

taking on people in power.

Making fun of celebrities is just too easy...but tearing apart the Bush administration....there is so much comic fodder....

SNL should fire all barrels at Bush and his ilk....

[countingbluecars]

12. I kept thinking of that joke

while listening to some of the nutty C-span callers this morning who were obviously part of the 34%.
