    I couldn’t tell you how many times someone has seriously tried to explain to me that fossils are the work of the devil trying to trick us………

    No amount of asprin has been able to get me through those conversations, everytime someone says, “ya know, the devil created dinosaur bones to make us not believe in god” I feel like my nose is started to bleed, which would be great if it did, for comediac reasons

    More like “God is a dick” theory of fossilization. I mean really, isn’t he allowing satan to run amock and decieve people? It is almost as if God wants people to go to hell.
