After release of this book, many highly trained biologists looked again at their own fields, and an avalanche of arguments and evidence for 24-hour creation and against evolution ensued. Today, creation science books are far better argued than the evolution ones; increasing numbers of biology Ph.D.s believe in creation, and the only way evolution can maintain its grip is by preventing students from being exposed to any counter-arguments -- especiallythe facts about the fossil record.

Rock steady: What did the B.C. group say about doing a tour of Dinosaur Ridge? I'd like to hear the preposterous stories they'd come up with to explain away the structure, stratigraphy and fossils of the base of the Foothills. Were the Rockies raised sometime around 3,000 years ago?

Belly up:Jonah was not swallowed by a whale. He was swallowed by a big fish. Whales do not eat meat: They have a filter in their mouths so they can just suck up brine and other small organisms.
For someone who takes in blind faith the word of God from mortal men who wrote the books with their mortal hands, you should read the actual stories and not just listen to the lore that ends up surrounding them all. The story of God is in everyone. The fact that a bunch of pompous men -- all men, mind you; God didn't care for women -- decided that they were able to channel God through them and write his word does not mean a thing. I do that every day. I feel God next to me while I breathe. Let me tell you, he would never tell you what to believe in. He would be happy to know that you believe anything at all, because that means that you are alive and he did his job today by having me talk to you.

Burn, baby, burn: Jason Sheehan is a culinary idiot!
I must strongly object to his review of Vesta Dipping Grill, "Burning Passion," in the October 24 issue. He obviously has no food knowledge or experience in this field at all! He took the liberty of shredding one of the best restaurants to ever be seen in Denver, only because his tastes are better suited to Burger King.
How he got his job is a mystery to all, and that review shows his lack of taste. I will no longer read Westword or support the existence of this fucking rag. Jason, you are an idiot!

Something's fishy: Jason Sheehan should be ashamed. There is no need for four-letter words in a dining column. Nor was it necessary to go on and on about some dumb fish. Jason should try the pork tenderloin sometime.
This is probably the worst column I have ever seen, and a real slap in the face to a great chef! As for the fish: Get over it.

Inane asylum: Jason Sheehan, your new dining-out guy, must for some unknown reason believe that we are interested in his inane, narcissistic (also disgusting and neurotic) meanderings. Please get rid of him.

A foul taste:What the fuck is up with Jason Sheehan's overuse of the word "fuck"? Jason, please do us all a favor and go get some so that you do not have to use it as a comma or a period in your sentences. I use the word just as much as the next guy, but two things I generally keep separate: While eating or talking about eating, I refrain from using scatological references or images of vomit and copulation on the restaurant eating-area floor.
How about giving us a friggin' break, pal? Believe me, that sounds more effective in person than on the page.
