Joy In The Creationist Camp
From Newsday, a report that researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a process to created a form of petrified wood in days rather than millions of years. One argument I have encountered several times in creationist circles is that wood can be petrified very rapidly under the correct circumstances.
Of course the process developed by the researchers is not a natural one (although I have seen argon mentioned on a creationist web site in this context), or that creationism is true. But I couldn't help laughing at this article, because I imagined the sparkle in some creationist's eye. It was a nice way to start the morning.
