Good News for the Economy!


Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Okay, as a scientist (honestly; I’ve done my piling higher and deeper), I’m surprised that The Onion™ would take such a serious subject as the trustworthiness of scientist and use it as a frame in which to bludgeon the talking-head format of news programs. It casts a slur on all of us scientists, who would never do anything disreputable or dangerous. Why, I’m offended at the slight cast on us ever-honest scientists.

  5. You guys, this lack of posting in the comboxes (only a handful of posts in many days) is causing my words to get backed-up to the point of exploding. I am threatening to make long silly posts to relieve the pressure. Down with exploding Chickens. Post.
    I have no life, you know.

  6. That was excellent. And if they do turn against us they could feed a small town. Or a small town would feed them. Hmmm….

  7. Look, it’s obvious they’re NOT going to turn against us! We created them! Would a creature turn against its creator? Get over your paranoia already!

  8. I’m amazed nobody has said it thus far, so here goes . . .
    “And I, for one, *welcome* our new crusteacous overlords.”
    Also,
    “NO! It is *I* who will eat *you*!”

  9. Never trust Norman Osborne, especially when he is using an alias and has a claw-hand.
