When I was in college, there was this guy named Robert McElwaine that posted so much bizzarre ranting to usenet that he became slightly infamous. He even outposted an automated weather bot! Here's a crazed rant that I'll never forget:
http://members.aol.com/rem547/yahweh.htm The "god" of the Old Testament was actually a TRIBE OF RENEGADE SPACE CANNIBALS, with a leader named " Yahweh ", who was the commander of a UFO SPACECRAFT ("pillar of fire", "pillar of cloud", etc.), and a GENETICIST who CLONED Adam and Eve FROM HIMSELF and put them on this planet which was ALREADY INHABITED at that time ! And the "first born sons" of the Israelites became ROAST DINNER for the "JehovahS" ! Or this one about a pellucidar-esque hollow Earth: http://members.aol.com/rem547/hollow.htm In 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd flew an airplane 1700 miles into the North Polar ENTRANCE HOLE, where he saw forests, lakes, and herds of LIVE MAMMOTHS! In 1956, he flew 2300 miles into the South Polar ENTRANCE HOLE and saw the SAME kinds of things. And it wasn't just him having a laugh writing this stuff. He gave me the hollow Earth spiel at the student union one night and he was earnest. He also didn't bathe much. -Kevin On 6/2/05, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Too true. > > It reminds me of another anti-evolution argument from the 70's: the "seeded > Earth" argument.
