3. Sucker looks something like my Maine coon cat.
Let's see if it has the M for Moron on its forehead. Then I'll be sure.

10. And hid it deep in the ocean where it would take thousands
of years to find it. Yup, Old Yahweh's good at that kind of clever trick on Humans. He's probably chuckling in his beard this afternoon.

"Hey, son...look what I found! I thought I dropped a piece of pizza in my beard last night. Chomp."

12. Here is a site showing a LIzard that has recently evolved from eggs to live birth
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/09/100901-science-animals-evolution-australia-lizard-skink-live-birth-eggs/

From the site:

"Brian Handwerk
for National Geographic News
Published September 1, 2010

Evolution has been caught in the act, according to scientists who are decoding how a species of Australian lizard is abandoning egg-laying in favor of live birth.

Along the warm coastal lowlands of New South Wales (map), the yellow-bellied three-toed skink lays eggs to reproduce. But individuals of the same species living in the state's higher, colder mountains are almost all giving birth to live young.

Only two other modern reptiles—another skink species and a European lizard—use both types of reproduction. (Related: "Virgin Birth Expected at Christmas—By Komodo Dragon.")

Evolutionary records shows that nearly a hundred reptile lineages have independently made the transition from egg-laying to live birth in the past, and today about 20 percent of all living snakes and lizards give birth to live young only."

14. But it fails to explain
the perfection of a banana.

We must all educate ourselves:

17. I've heard of this banana theory...
and you know, I can think of another place that a banana can fit... :evilgrin:

Does that prove there's a god, too?

15. Dinosaurs went extinct when their noses caught fire!
Noah's flood reduced the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere, forcing dinosaurs to breath faster and faster until their noses caught fire.
