“YOU’VE HEARD OF THE LOCH NESS MONSTER, RIGHT? THE FACT IS THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF THESE LAKE CREATURES ALL OVER THE WORLD…”
For the last year and a half or so I’ve been doing a Q&A interview each week at the front of the Irish Times Saturday Magazine. This is the only one they’ve ever refused to print. It was with a preacher who was about to address a creationism rally in Lucan. The Irish Times refused to publish it on the grounds that the guy was clearly insane. My position was that of course the guy was insane, that was why I interviewed him in the first place. Sanity prevailed, unfortunately… Read the interview here.

See if you had just let this be a skin deep interview he may have passed. After all, his scienticians use research, numbers and faith. And it’s all based on the solid rock proof of the bible, scribblings on walls and Greek fiction.
But of course you asked him more than five questions so of course he was going to run out of sensical things to say.
Noah sounds a bit of a prick though.

…. cant help myself
A 6 tonne, 40×20 foot man-eating lizard roaming willy-nilly throughout the land gets only 2 possible partial mentions in the old testament and yet the authors took the time to regularly warn us of the perils of pork meat.
ah creationists are too easy.
Hey what happened to that atheist Ireland gig after the blasphemy law came in – weren’t they going to publish a statement insulting all the main religions to test it?
must be tough to get that perfect balance between shrill and smug
