Happy 6012th Birthday, Earth!!!

[Iason Ouabache]

Back way way long ago there was a man named James Ussher who was the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate^* of All Ireland. Very important man with lots of time on his hand. So much time that he figured he'd put it to good use by counting back all of the begats in the Bible to see exactly how old the earth is. After much calculation and triangulation he came up with an exact date: Sunday October 23, 4004 BC. Nightfall, to be exact. That means that today (presumably at sunset in Israel) the earth will be exactly 6012 years old. Happy birthday, earth! You've come a long way, baby! However, I must say that you are looking awfully old for your age what with all the wrinkles, stretch marks, and radioactivity. You really need to learn to take care of yourself better.



* - Yes, it is ironic that one of the icons of Young Earth Creationism openly called himself a primate.

I might honestly prefer this model.  It means the Earth arrived, partied, and died young.

See, and if we let Barack Obama institute his evil Communist Health Care Reform, there will be Death Panels and Earth will not get the life saving medicine it needs and will be told to just TAKE THE RED PILL AND GO DIE IN THE CORNER!!!!!

Gaia is a woman. She's allowed to lie about her age.

The world was created Last Thursday, it will continue to exist until Next Thursday, at which time it will be destroyed in its entirety and replaced by a completely new world that is exactly identical in all respects.

The other day somebody stole everything in my apartment and replaced it with an exact replica... When my roommate came home I said, "Roommate, someone stole everything in our apartment and replaced it with an exact replica." He looked at me and said, "Do I know you?"
