oh, by the way, needless to say that, if this paper is confirmed, then Darwinists will spin this around and say that this new found function of the apendix is exacly what “evolution would predict”.

Why, funny you should mention…

The vermiform appendage—in which some recent medical writers have vainly endeavoured to find a utility—is the shrunken remainder of a large and normal intestine of a remote ancestor. This interpretation of it would stand even if it were found to have a certain use in the human body. Vestigial organs are sometimes pressed into a secondary use when their original function has been lost.

That’s right, that was written 95 years ago.

So, Austrian physicists have found an interesting property of water. Anyone care to guess how long until homeopaths try to use this research to justify the ‘memory of water’ effect?

For a good overview of all the latest woo in the subject of the memory of water, this article at Homunculus is an excellent place to start. The blog article gives an overview of all the articles in a special issues of the journal Homeopathy. It’s a heroic effort; I tried to read the articles myself but just couldn’t take it after a couple of pages.

My added value? The lyrics are here.

Many evolutionists are recognizing the problems with these theories that attempt to explain cells’ irreducible complexity. An infinitely intelligent Designer must have created these cells. That Creator and Designer is Jesus.

Let me paraphrase.

1. I don’t know how a cell has developed to its current form.
2. Therefore, it hasn’t. It was created.
3. Therefore, it was created by the same guy who performed magic tricks about two kiloyears ago around the Mediterranean.

Bloody marvellous.

There are certain situations under which it is preferable not to offer salaam. These include; when a person is relieving himself, when one is having marital relationship, when someone is sleeping or when in the bathroom.

I can think of a number of scenarios where one would need to greet newly arrived people while “having marital relationship”, and I wouldn’t have thought any of them are exactly halal.

An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus’ miracle of walking on water has reportedly drowned off the western coast of Africa.

Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle, and he attempted it from a beach in Gabon’s capital of Libreville.

“He told churchgoers he’d had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus,” an eyewitness told the Glasgow Daily Record.

“He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat. He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back.”

Okay, that’s pretty stupid. But it goes on:

As WND reported in April, a researcher at Florida State University believes he has a natural explanation for the account of Jesus’ miraculous walk on the surface of water – ice.

Professor of Oceanography Doron Nof and the co-authors of his study theorize that a rare combination of optimal water and atmospheric conditions resulted in a unique, localized freezing phenomenon called “springs ice,” according to Physorg.com, which specializes in news about science, technology, physics and space.

I wonder if the Prof. Nof ever thought the story might not be one hundred percent cross your heart and hope to die real? Perhaps the dear professor would next like to undertake some structural integrity calculations of gingerbread houses.

You know how at Christmas when Santa Claus is very busy, he has assistant Santas to help him. In the same way, Jesus will probably be rather busy during the Rapture, what with the sorting of people, so he might need some assistants. For the bloggers covering the event, Wikipedia offers some useful grammatical advice:

So now we know.
