Pretty cool that God announced that in the same night that He Hates both Huckabee and Maddox.
A creationist urologist?
I guess he thinks that the prostate gland is an example of God's perfect design.
After all, it encircles the urethra so that any enlargement shuts off the urinary stream. It almost universally starts enlarging early in middle age. It turns cancerous at an astonishing rate.
God must be a urologist.
