Out of all those random parts comes Boeing 767

Big Bang (evolution) Theory: Inside Delta Airline's Technical Operations Center (jet base) are every conceivable airplane part necessary to build from scratch an airplane. Now suppose one day the strongest tornado ever seen roared through this center. Things are swirled and mixed together as if in a blender. As the wind passes through and materials are dropped from the mix, lo and behold, a brand new shiny Boeing 767 airliner is deposited on the flight line, ready for flight.

Science vs. Creationism: Mankind approached God one day with an announcement. They said, "God, through our technological advances and understanding of science, we have learned how to create living beings. So, we don't need you anymore."

God said, "Are you sure of this? Can you show me?"

"Sure," they said. "To prove it, let's have a contest. We'll both make a person."

"OK. Let's give it a go." God replied.

As God watched, mankind reached down, picked up a handful of dirt and started shaping it into the form of a man. At this point, God said, "Sorry, but you have to stop there."

Man asked, "What is the problem?"

God's answer. "You need to CREATE your OWN dirt."

Knowledge changes constantly. God never changes.

As Fox news says, "We report, you decide." This is a personal decision that has to be made by everyone. Let's at least give everyone the opportunity to hear their options. Eternity is a long time to regret our mistake.
