When Galaxies Collide! Perhaps We Should Start Panicking Now?

May 31, 2012 By Frank Weathers 2 Comments

Noooooooooooooooo!

We interrupt your normal fears and insecurities with a scary story that our best scientists have concluded will take place shortly. That is, if you consider 4-ish billion years from now as “short.”

Truth be told, if it’s going to happen, it has already happened, in God’s time. Anyway, it’s a really neat looking composite artists rendition of the future “Andromeda Way” Galaxy Corp. Don’t worry, as it will truly be a merger of equals. More like a marriage made in heaven. Did I mention that it will take another 2.5 to 3 billion years to consumate? A snap of the finger, literally. The folks at Space.com have the scoop, [Read more...]

That’s simple. They always saved Dr. Smith, no matter what he did.

Here’s some trivia for you. The series ran for 3 years between 1967 – 1969, pulled down higher viewer ratings than Star Trek ever did, and out of 84 episodes, it’s quite possible that Jonathan Harris uttered the word “creature” in every single one of them. [Read more...]

Because Jesus Said Plenty About Marriage, and Other Inconvenient Stuff Too…UPDATED

May 12, 2012 By Frank Weathers

Hey y’all. Didn’t you know that Jesus didn’t say nothin’ about homosexuality in the Bible? True story. You ain’t gonna find Our Lord say that particular word nowheres in the Scriptures. It’s like he never heard of that situation. Heck, everbody knows that if Jesus didn’t say it, it don’t exist. Right? Just ask Stephen Colbert.

Of course, Jesus said plenty about marriage, and I’m here to tell y’all, it’s damned inconvenient to the spirit of the age nowadays. [Read more...]

The photograph above is creepy, ain’t it? But seeing as how the researchers don’t say that these fellows are cannibalistic, ant-eating zombie ants, I think I can still sleep well tonight.

It’s a clearcut case of faith+reason= AWESOME. Take a look, [Read more...]
