A quickie. Nothing to do with the fact that there is no evidence that God exists, or that Jesus or Moses existed either. Just my best friend Daisy watching a TV show about border collies who watch border collies on TV. It is sort of surrealistic video, though I have no idea what I'm talking about. Enjoy, it is just over 30 seconds.

Time To Offend The Catholics Again
First off, the following video is what is called satire. It takes aspects of real life, and tries to make it overblown and humorous. If you are easily offended, please don't watch. If you don't like swear words, please don't watch it either. Anyone else who wants to grin continuously for over 4 minutes, by all means, click the play arrow:
I loved the last line in the video.

Canadians Not As Ignorant As Americans When It Comes To Accepting Evolution
59% of Canadians accept the reality of evolution, while only 22% believe some dude named God poofed man, the earth, the universe, and everything else into existence less than 10,000 years ago. Of course, we have a bunch of non committal Canadians who "don't know." These are the same people who would answer "don't know" to just about anything because they just don't want to risk that they might give the "wrong" answer. The don't knows could also have included those yo yo's who believe the earth is old but "macroevolution" never happened.
Click here for the actual poll results.
Here is what Americans "believe."
Of course, the more educated one is, the more likely that person is to accept evolution and an ancient earth. And on a bright note, the younger generation of Canadians accept evolution more than the older generation.
The second poll question was way too wordy. The Big Valley Creation Science Museum opened this month in Alberta. One of the museum’s displays suggests that dinosaurs and human beings co-existed on earth. Do you agree or disagree with this assertion? Canadians don't have the greatest attention spans. After around 12 words, many Canadians minds start wandering off thinking about beer or hockey.
The results just didn't jive with respect to the first question on whether one believed in evolution or creation. 42% agreed with that statement, while only 37% disagreed. Again another 21% were non committal. Besides not really understanding the question, I'm going to blame Canadian television which used to have The Flintstones on way too much.
I was really surprised that Quebec doesn't have as many reality deniers as the rest of the country. I would have thought that they had way more yard ape YECs.

Canadian Mensa Member Proves Intelligence & Insanity Are Mutually Exclusive
While checking out my subscription's videos on Youtube, I checked out member akg41470's new videos. This Youtubist does a series called "Actually...," which refutes creationist nonsense videos that are posted on Youtube. Episode 13 caught my eye, because the reality denier who was being refuted claims to be a member of Mensa Canada.
Wazooloo is a dude who is approaching 40. His videos are long, but worth watching if you like watching someone making a complete fool of themselves. Also, anyone who likes psychology may enjoy this as a case study in delusion and insanity. I watched both as I was intrigued by the fact he is a Canadian "genius." I know my atheist readers will enjoy these. His whole premise is that the bible is 100% accurate and some of his insights will make you laugh out loud.
I'm wondering if Mensa Canada is a scam. I did their 10 minute workout sample test. It took me 3 or 4 minutes, and I got all 5 questions correct. Maybe it is just that I am a Super Duper Mega Genius.
These literal biblicists think that science is just like the bible. If you can find one thing that scientists were wrong about, it means all of science is wrong.
As I've state before, the internet will cause the death of Young Earth Creationism. These fools should just keep their nonsense in their own homes and places of worship, if they want to keep their flock numbers up.
Anyway, this guy is an embarrassment to Canada and Mensa.

Two Tags In One Post
I actually got tagged three times recently, but one of the tags has to do with specific Israeli leaders, and I'm just not qualified for it. Sorry about that Hear, O Israel.
First, I will tackle the tag form Oleh Musings:
1) Name your favorite band and singer. (The singer can’t be from the band)
Favorite band is The Beatles. Favorite singer is Billy Joel.
2) Favorite historical politician (domestic)?(Historical = Dead)
Pierre Trudeau, because he was such a hippy.
3) Favorite historical politician (International)?
Abraham Lincoln, because I can't think of anything that has been said about him that was bad. Well, except from a few slave owners.
4) You’re giving a Hollywood pitch (25 words or less) about your Blog — GO
I'm the Bacon Eating Atheist Jew. My viewpoints generally disturb the majority of the world's population, even though I'm almost never wrong.
5) Other then where you live now, what city do you like?
Aruba is the size of a city, so lets say Aruba.
6) Favorite modern politician? (In office now)
Stephen Harper. He showed back bone with his stance against Hamas.
7) Are you a Wilsonian Idealist or Nixonian Realist in foreign policy?
I had to look this one up. Nixonian. You aren't gonna change people to become you, you need to deal with reality, and hope that others eventually get it.
8)Favorite obscure movie?
The Man With Two Brains is pretty obscure.
What is your favorite restaurant?
Pizza Hut.
10) Choose a music video on YouTube. Why that one?
It was the logical choice for me.
Now I will take on the tag from Atheist Hussy
* We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
* Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them each a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
1. I snore. Or so I've been told.
2. I think once in my life I went a whole month once without biting my nails. I clipped them instead.
3. When I dream, I usually have a full head of hair.
4. I like it when people tell me how smart I am.
5. I've actually changed my opinions about many things since starting this blog, thanks to new information.
6. I wish I was 14 again.
7. I'm not nearly as motivated as I should be. I think I should have accomplished more than I have already.
8. I'm really happy I'm not a young earth creationist. There is a sense of freedom not being wilfully ignorant about anything.
Anyone who wants to be tagged for either or both, consider yourself tagged.
