Random Quote
The manifest object of the men who framed the institutions of this country, was to have a State without religion, and a Church without politics — that is to say, they meant that one should never be used as an engine for any purpose of the other, and that no man's rights in one should be tested by his opinions about the other. As the Church takes no note of men's political differences, so the State looks with equal eye on all the modes of religious faith. … Our fathers seem to have been perfectly sincere in their belief that the members of the Church would be more patriotic, and the citizens of the State more religious, by keeping their respective functions entirely separate.
[Chief Justice of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Jeremiah S. Black, from a 1856 speech on religious liberty]

Explains a typical cat's attitude toward humans.

God's dog thinks: "You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, you must be God."

My cat thinks that way. I must be God!

Very funny, but I don't think ID is about "poofing" from one species into another species. I think it's more like "poofing" brand new species that look similar to other ones due to the common designer plan thingy. "Poofing" from one species into another species would look too much like everybody had ancestors. I think ID (and Jesus) would prefer that things are "poofed" from scratch, and what ID wants, ID gets. Nice try though. :-)

God needs one of these to keep his cat occupied. (YouTube video)

Once you've poofed there is nothing more to be said of if. That is, to invoke magic once, however marginally or with whatever implied innocence, is to shed credibility and admit to ignorance. Little poof, big poof, all the same. Unconvincing

No, that cat needs to be punished, like this. Or this. (Yeah, YouTube.)
