The Fundies will hate "Cosmos" this week too... [View all]

The first couple of minutes mentioned the Gilgamesh Epic and its story about a big flood and an ark.

(They stole our story!!! Our ark was first, everybody knows that. WAAAAH!)

Then NDT went into the origin of life.

("He used the word 'somehow.' SOMEHOW! See, the scientists know NOTHING! We know how life started. Man, rib, woman, apple, talking snake. NYA-NYA-NYA!&quot

Well, they're never going to like anything that conflicts in the slightest way with their Revealed Word.

They remind me of an old joke:

A Xian missionary goes to a remote island where there are only a few First-World people. Mostly engineers, all male who are building an airfield.

"Welcome," says the Project Manager to the missionary. "We are in a remote location and there's really NOTHING to do here. So on Friday nights we have a few beers and play some poker..."

"I neither drink alcohol nor gamble!"

"Oh. OK. Well, on Saturday night we have a dance and some of the local women usually come by..."

"I neither dance nor have social intercourse with strange women."

"I see. Well...do you prefer men?"

"CERTAINLY NOT!!!"

"Too bad. You're not going to like Sunday night very much, either."
