Did Adam and Eve Care About the Environment 6,000 Years Ago? I Think Not

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Hey, Arizona! Fantastic job electing Sylvia Allen to your state senate. This is a person who really knows how to use logic and understanding of facty things and a decent enough substitute for science to really make things happen.

Like, take for example, this except from a state senate session when she throws a logic grenade into the middle of an environmental debate and lets it explode kaplow all over everybody else's minds

Exactly! I couldn't have put it in any more clearish terms myself. The Earth has been here for a whole 6,000 years and it hasn't been destroyed yet. So, what's all the concern now?

Come on now. Use your logic. 6,000 years is a loooooong time. It's 365,000 times longer than the entire time it took God to build the Earth out of magic powder and prayers. And, you've got to figure, in that time there's been countless attempts to destroy it by all the demons and dragons and orcs and chupacabras and drow elves and displacer beasts and that one evil sub-species of unicorns. And it's still here! So, the Earth is either pretty resilient, or it's under an incredibly powerful spell of protection from a witchdoctor.

Either way, it can withstand a few more years of pummeling by us. At least until Jesus flies his magic bus down from Heaven to pick up all the faithful before the Rapture.

And, after that, who cares?

  1. JUST GLAD SHE IS FROM ARIZONA AND NOT FROM NY. I WONDER HOW OLD SHE THINKS THE "GRAND CANYON" IS?

  2. Maybe we'll get lucky and the bus runs over the likes of her

  3. Um, once again, proud to be an Arizonan. I'm sure that poor Sylvia is just a victim of our state's public school system, which finally achieved the grand distinction of being dead last in the country.

    I do appreciate this insight as to why our state legislature can't seem to balance our budget. Perhaps they're taking EVERY figure put in front of them, and dividing it by roughly a million.

    It explains so much.

  4. Was there ever a chance that uranium mine permits would not be approved on the Arizona Strip? You know, the richest uranium ore body in the country. Just say, “Uranium, I love it. I am for this.”

    By the way, I think Genesis has an Environmental Law in it, “Don’t eat the Apples.” And did mankind listen? How well did ignoring that Law work out for Adam & Eve?

    Idiot.

  5. What are the chances there's catacombs being dug beneath the Arizona desert? And I don't mean the ones used to run guns to Mexico. (It's the new Holyland, by God) Prophets are flocking from the world over. Considering it was 112 degrees yesterday, feels like hell to me, but what do I know?

  6. It's a short bus, and I sure hope it comes soon.
    (This comment in no way is meant to offend anyone who rides an actual short bus, it is a euphemism for how I feel about people who should just Know Better!)

    And hey, those Drow are horribly misunderstood. But those Unicorns are pretty awful. Can't turn your back for a moment.
