 Evolution Hoax Revealed!! Breaking News!
 by Anonymous

 ---------------------------------------
 EVOLUTION REVEALED AS A HOAX
 (The Daily Press, April 14, 1997)
 ---------------------------------------

    Events at Michigan State University last night will soon
 turn the scientific world into turmoil. The theory of
 evolution, once regarded as the most rational explanation
 for the existence of species, was denounced by all the
 world's preeminent scientists as a hoax.

    "The joke is over. I want to get back to my research on
 the Holy Bible," stated Richard Dawkins to the N.Y. Times.
 "It was fun, but I think we took it a bit too far. It is now
 time to reveal the truth." Dawkins, author of 'The Blind
 Watchmaker', arguably the most convincing book on evolution
 for the layman, said of it, "It was intended as a satire but
 I guess there are alot of gullible people out there who took
 it seriously."

    The summit in Michigan started off seriously but led into
 a three-hour long celebration of the history of Darwinism.
 The circus was the theme last night and presenters did a
 number of magic tricks to raise spirits of the shocked
 press.

    Said Phillip Johnson, "It is so nice to finally stop this
 charade!" There was much hugging and rejoicing as the
 celebrations got underway. Ex-Evolutionists and Creationists
 were smiling and bumping elbows all night. It was truly a
 joyous occasion.

    Among the leading evolutionists who revealed the hoax
 were Ian Plimer, Barry Price, Eugene Scott, Richard Trott,
 Ken Saladin, Kenneth Miller, Steven J. Gould, and the
 world's foremost expert on evolution, the highly respected
 Dr. Duane Gish. Hundreds more revealed their part in the
 scheme.

    On hand even was Carl Sagan's son, who read a memorandum
 stating his part in the hoax. "I really wish Dad was here
 today to see his dream become a reality and to see the look
 on people's faces," he said.

    Also revealed were Darwin's suppressed letters, one of
 which stated, "The best way to get back at the atheists is
 to pull the rug out from under them." The letter went on in
 detail of a process in which to sucker in non-believers and
 then suddenly convert them. A 'theory of mutability' was the
 central key to his plan.

    Ex-Evolutionists will now concentrate their efforts on
 theology and the search for Noah's Ark. "I know it's out
 there, I can feel it," confessed Dawkins. Christian
 Apologists were equally happy, as their time was freed of
 having to make up defenses for religion.

    "It was just part of the plan," said J.P. Moreland of his
 book 'Scaling the Secular City'. William Craig also was on
 hand and mused, "Our arguments were there because we didn't
 want everyone to believe in evolution. Imagine the riot if
 we had tricked everyone!"

    Why the hoax was uncovered only recently, according to
 Darwin's letters, was "...before the end of the world [the
 year 2000], the hoax should be revealed. This will allow for
 the safe return of Christ to gather all his followers..."

    The celebration ended with a prayer to God, thanking Him
 for the courage to go through with the complex conspiracy.
 The Lord really does work in mysterious ways.
