Creationists dig new grave

[Cartoon from here]

It's so hard being a creationist these days. You must avoid all things scientific - magazines, books, people; and if you can't miss the headline claiming "40,000-Year-Old Tools Found at Construction Site", you must immediately close your eyes, pray to the Lord God Almighty that this sight will be cleansed from your mind and that He will smite mightily those pagans who dared dig up some dirty old "tools" and then claim they were 40,000 years old for the sole purpose of denying the truth of the Bible!

On Australia's island of Tasmania, archaeologists have dug up thousands of items, including stone tools which have been estimated to be about 40,000 years. While the exact age has not been confirmed, initial estimates are expected to be correct. In fact, according to an AOL News article, "Human artifacts dating 40,000 to 50,000 years have been found in Australia north of Tasmania."

Such a problem! What's a good creationist to do? The Bible clearly states that God created everything that exists 6,000 years ago: Which is "proven" by the correct reading of the biblical book of Genesis!

Damn those Tasmanian devils, those scientists!
