Creationists Go Apoplectic Over Dr. Pepper Ad

Soon after Dr. Pepper placed this image on their Facebook page, creationists and fundamentalist Christians started blasting the brand.

This is entertaining:

God cannot be an ape, "I ain't no chimp" (you're not a grammarist either ), and much more

. . . .and my "Goliath of GRAS" argument and exercise.

My challenge to Ken Ham to "come out" and "come clean" remains outstanding and unanswered.

It was offered to Ken Ham out of consideration for his much publicized challenge to Bill Nye.

The offer was deleted from Ken's and AIG's FaceBook pages.

For some reason, it remains on the AIG UK/Europe page at:

http://www.facebook.com/AiG.UKE?ref=ts

I also have various messages posted about the challenge here on the DU and over at my place:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Maury_and_Baty/

Run, Ken Ham, run!
See Ken Ham run!

My "Goliath of GRAS" . . . still the one to beat!
No "David"!

Sincerely,
Robert Baty

*One of Bill O'Reilly's favorite characterizations of those that won't accept his offers.

religious rights when other folks are allowed to not be religious.

YOUR FREEDOM OF RELIGION DOES NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO FORCE ALL OTHERS TO BELIEVE AS YOU DO, YOU STUPID FUCKERS.

Prune.

No shit.... it's sweetened, carbonated Prune juice.

That's why it's 'Dr.' Pepper.
