Right up front, I gotta say it. And I know this is anathema to the enlightened, evolutionary worldview. But here it is. There’s no such thing as fossil fuel. Bam! I just attacked the whole fossils evolution connection. And, no, there won’t be a forthcoming retraction or apology. Because the fossils evolution connection is a fairy tale.

Is that Monarch butterfly migration just a mysterious coincidence? Yeah, right. As I write this, it’s February 5, 2022.
