Never mind, Boo, I always post while I'm at work too, so it's very very quiet...I've just got into work, so it's approx 8.19 in the morning here in sunny Perth. *yawn* Alex, you need to add a sleepy smiley! |

Unfortuately I don't have access to the net at work (darn retail!) so I have to get on when I get home from work. But I agree, a sleepy smile would be good because I'm buggered after work.
They say we Aussies work some of the longest hours in the world. Smerk how many do you average? I do bout 44-46 a week which I think SUCKS but hey, I wanna get paid.

Despite the fact I wasn't the one you asked...
I do between 32 and 40 a week, depending whether I'm working 4 or 5 days.
44-46 is a lot to be doing.
Good pay? |

Not really, I'm on a salary so I get paid for 40 no matter how many I work. Over Christmas it was hell! I was working up to 55 hours and they just expect you to do it. But I gotta remember, I want my house, have to save! |

Aaah, I'm lucky - 37.5 hours per week, no more, no less - although sometimes less would be nice. I technically start at 8.30 am and leave at 5 (official opening hours of the office). I do get in a little early, but always make sure I leave at 5 - gotta make a dash for those trains! I've heard that the average aussie works approx 40 hours a week, so I can say I'm below average.  |

Ummm, just realised we're getting way off topic here! Think we may need someone sensible to get us back on track...What was the question again? |

Yeah, um, fossils.
Creatures' remains.
Hidden by aliens, or possibly Hitler. |

Why would Hitler hide fossils? Especially since people have been finding fossils long before Hitler was even born. Unless he is/was a time traveller?  |

Well, of course he's a time traveller.
Or possibly an alien.
It's all a conspiracy, anyway. |

Oh sorry, it means really little...um, how else can I explain? It's just something that's always been said here. Ah, let's see, I probably shouls have said we will NEVER EVER EVER get back on track.

These people say
"As Christians, we can be 100% confident that the claims of these fossils being "missing links" are completely false. God told us he "created" all creatures fully-formed, suddenly and miraculously. We know from a careful interpretation of scriptures that this occurred about 6,000 years ago. We should never be so foolish as to put the opinions of misguided scientists, or elitist journalists over the Word of God on this or any matter. The prudent thing to do concerning these particular fossils is to take a wait-and-see attitude. Understand that there is good reason to mistrust the Columbus Dispatch, the media in general and these scientists on this issue. Give some of the scientists who are willing to do a critical analysis of the claims made about these fossils time to digest the data and make their comments. What we will most likely see is that other evolutionists will help lead the charge against these outrageous claims much as they have done with the "dinosaur-to-bird hypothesis", and other alleged missing links. And of course, Creation scientists will once again be in the familiar position of having to say "We told you so" when this eventually does occur. Christian scientists have known for years that modern science is still playing catch up to the Bible and will likely continue to do so until Jesus returns to claim his own."
and there's this:
"Fossil bones to not come with little labels attached telling you how old they are. Nor do fossils have photographs with them telling you what the animals looked like as they roamed the earth long ago.
When people visit a museum they are confronted by bits and pieces of bones and other fossils neatly arranged in glass cases. These are often accompanied by pictures representing an artist's impression of what the animals and plants could have looked like in their natural environment. Remember, no one dug up the picture, just the fossils. And these fossils exist in the present. For example, in Tasmania there is a sandstone bed containing millions of pieces of bones, most of which are no larger than the end of your thumb. The evolutionists have placed a picture at one particular excavation so that tourists can see how the animals and plants lived in the region "millions of years ago." You can stare at those pieces of bones for as long as you like, but you will never see the picture the scientists have drawn."
Interesting, I thought.
And mostly on topic.

Smerk, I think the book you are trying to think of is called Good Omens by Terry Prachett and Niel Gaimon. Very funny book and highly recommended to anyone who is not easily offended. |

It may be...I have the majority of Pratchett's books, and re-read them constantly. They all get jumbled up over time. I agree, Good Omens is hilarious. Good for another controversial religious topic!
Maegan, I think they're trying to say that on the 8th day, God created TV, not man in the late 40's, early 50's. Wonder what programs he would've watched? So yes, it probably is a bit of a joke. |
