Ugh. Someone put me on a "Creationism" group, so I started getting all this nonsensical dreck in my feed, like FAKE images of "giants" that "prove" the Bible to be true.

Here is one of the funniest emails I have ever received - and, oddly enough, one of the most hopeful! I have removed the particulars, but you get the point.
