“Sticks and Stones
I dreamt a fossil came to life
and told a tale of his former wife
Did she beat him? Where?
She broke his fingers on the stairs
And tore out lumps of his orange hair
How could she?
Then she gave him pride of place
At an archaeological feast in his honour
A prehistoric horse was the main course!

“Interestingly, like many of the insects, scorpions appear deep in the rocks of the earth. And they are easily recognized in those deep rocks for what they are - scorpions. The reality is that scorpions abruptly appear in the rocks in their completed forms. It's true there used to be scorpions that are no longer with us, but this is no help to the theory of evolution. Nevertheless, scorpions suddenly appearing in the rocks as scorpions is precisely what we would expect on the basis of the Biblical model of creation.”
