Sam is only partially right about the Grand Canyon (and the Colorado River, incidentally). It was actually chiselled out of the earth by three micro-lasers of almost infinite force, mounted on a platform lowered from a Flying Saucer. It was achieved in THREE MINUTES of Flying Saucer Time! What Sam did not tell you is that the conversion tables showing the relation of Flying Saucer Minutes to Earth minutes have been screwed up for some time. According to the most recent calculations, 3 minutes of Flying Saucer Time now converts to 27.384786 BILLION YEARS of earth time. So yes, they did a good job, but NO, it was not all that fast. And the earth was here before they began! Namaste! Jim

On the 8th day, God said " Enuf football until tomorrow. Time to go to work." And God created science, and it was good. And God spoke o unto Adam and Eve, and said, "I will give you tools and a reminder of science. Here are 2.5 cigarettes of marijuana. The first is a joint, to remind you to study the joints and ligaments, bones and tendons of the body. The second is a number, so that you will have math to record your science. The small one is called Roach, so you will see I want you to study all creatures which crawl the earth or fly the sky or swim the waters. And it is good. And they are good; don't smoke them all at once. "And I give you tools to study this planet.I give you the apple, for in its heart lies the secrets of gravity and motion; don't eat it. I give you fire, so you will aspire to discover thermodynamics. Can you say thermodynamics? I give you colors, so that the red and blue shifts will look different. I give you isotopes, so you can use air and water to date rocks and see coal in the atmosphere. I give you gas chromatographs and electron microscopes. I give you brains. Go forth and study. "I'm gonna go watch more football" And it was good.
