A good Christian argument against Darwin. June 2, 2012 12:39 pm bowser

http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/01/death-of-snake-handling-preacher-shines-light-on-lethal-appalachian-tradition/?hpt=hp_c1

Religious snake handler dies of snake bite.  Just as his dad did in 1983.  You’d think these people would gradually cease to exist, but they seem to thrive.

“Mack Wolford, who was 44, made headlines this week after he was bitten by his yellow timber rattlesnake at an evangelistic event in a state park about 80 miles west of Bluefield, in West Virginia’s isolated southern tip.

“He enjoyed handling snakes during worship services, but it’s a tradition that has killed about 100 practitioners since it started in the east Tennessee hills in 1909.”

So there, Darwin, they’ll call your finch and raise you two rattlesnakes.  See who wins!

Lord love ‘em.

(I would like to add that if God created Man in his own image He is nothing to be proud of.)
