Everyone knows that scientists insist upon using complex terminology to make it harder for Christians to refute their claims. Take deoxyribonucleic acid for example. Sounds impressive, right? Do you know what happens when you put something in acid? It dissolves. If our bodies were full of that acid like they claim, we'd all dissolve.

Excellent! Must remember to check a few fundamentalist websites, they're surely fertile hunting ground for Foxes. Though obviously we should be careful - we don't want to incur divine wrath and go to Hell.

Spelling chequer mishap? I can believe that if you typed "preportional" it might get corrected to "prepositional".

Of course that doesn't really make it any more sensible. :)

"It's the best to eat fruit on an empty stomach (like first thing in the morning). I don't know exactly how bad it is for you if you eat fruit after meals, but I know that they get digested faster than other things and get broken down to simpler sugars. So, the sugar causes fermentation of the other food in your stomach. It's like the food begins to spoil in your stomach. I don't think that's good for your stomach."

It's obviously not too great for your brain, either.

Now I'm not a doctor, but I'm fairly sure babies aren't a kind of flu virus.

If you really must.
Babies are better than rabies;
But only just."
