"The Venn diagram of facts doesn't intersect. The intersection of all of those statements is the null set," Geer said.

Ahhh, one of our own... :)

  I've tried to draw out a Venn diagram which would prove Geers assertion, but I can't.
  
  Maybe this has something to do with the reason he was fired.

  Hehe, I thought that was pretty funny. Makes you wonder how he does normal stuff like if he ever broke up with a girlfriend.
  'See honey, this circle represents everything I want and this other circle represents you. Notice how the intersection of these two is the null set?'

I guess Geer should read "The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed" from earlier. Perhaps it will help?

You're all idiots. There is no such thing as Darwin. He didn't even LIVE. It's a lie designed to steal GOD from society. Don't believe me, tell me this? Have you seen Darwin's corpse? Have you met any of his offspring. Surely the father of evolution would have created offspring.

But that's not all.

Not only was there no Darwin, but there surely is no such thing as evolution. It's about as real as global warming. And we know that's a load of horse excrement.

The world isn't warming, and even if it were, it's not due to green house gasses.

The world, by the way, isn't round either. If you believe that it is round, you're against GOD.

And the SUN revolves around the EARTH! The earth is the center of the universe, because the earth is where Chris lived. It says in the bible God created the earth, it doesn't say he made a solar system and the earth is the 3rd planet in that system.

So quit being such heathens and get with the FACTS as described in the Book of Truth.

Or go to hell! Literally.
