Welcome to the Church of the Infinite Chasm. (You do know that’s pronounced KAZm, right?) Let’s get back to this topic of evolution. It has become accepted dogma of science and even religion (as in “God created the primordial soup and Darwin took it from there.”) If evolution is true, why is there such an immense chasm – oh let’s …

For 1/7 of our lives, anyway. (I think they intended to write “It’s” Friday. But let’s stay calm.)
What is the deadliest creature on earth?
What do you think is the most lethal creature on this planet? Ok sure, that’s a no-brainer: human beings.
