Genesis

What We're Told

According to some book, God created the earth and anything on it on October 23, 4004 according to some, or, more likely, last Thursday. This is widely believed to be a hoax created by Moses and the Jews to make them feel more important then they really are.

Luckily for us, God left the original log files for the creation of the Earth in a server in Wisconsin where some faggot uncovered them.
