Zombies, Creationism, and PowerPoint
I was reading a somewhat humorous article at Slashdot about these nutty archaeologists that are saying they have evidence of zombies in Egypt. Apparently, if you are buried without your head, that means you were a zombie. I say it means you were headless…
Anyway. The comments under the article were amazing. Basically, most were bashing creationism, when I thought they should have been bashing the idiot Indiana Jones wannabes.
Here is one funny post:
The young earth theory isn’t even classic Christianity [entouch.net], having become popular in the US in the 18th century. The church fathers had a variety of theories, and literally counting the years was a 17th century invention [wikipedia.org]. Augustine noted that time as we know it is itself part of this creation, and therefore the 6 days in Genesis 1 could not refer to time in this universe. He speculated that the 6 days were a 6 day “seminar” where the new creation was was presented and explained to the angels [rtforum.org].
And the reply that physically incapacitated me:
We’re the result of a 6 day Powerpoint presentation??!?
That sure explains a few things…
