Cataract surgery was performed in ancient Babylon so regularly that the prices were rigorously set by the government and malpractice was punished by the loss of a hand.  Acupuncture works.  Atlantis is very likely the isle of Thera.  Britain is slowly tilting along a line running from Devon to Yorkshire.  North and west of this line is rising, south and east are sinking.  Contrary to the “Global warming” theory, the measured temperature of the earth is actually decreasing over time, not rising.  Despite recreating the supposed exact conditions at which evolutionist believe life began, science has never been able to create even the simplest forms of life in the laboratory. Historically, salt is the most important mineral in national geography.  Plants feel pain.  Coin operated product dispensers, odometers, steam turbines, and remote control doors were invented in Alexandria in the first century AD.   Phoenicians circumnavigated the entire African coast from Suez to Gibraltar in the sixth century BC.  Colds are not caused by cold.  Hair and nails do not continue to grow after death.  Hair cannot turn white instantly.  Dirt, not rust, causes tetanus.  Men have the same number of ribs as women but women have fewer vertebrae.  A man’s brain is typically smaller than a woman’s due to shrinkage.  The size of a human’s brain has no effect on intelligence.  Flying fish do not fly.  Moths do not eat cloth.  The largest measured octopus is 32 feet across, squids are much larger.  Giant squids eat whales.  Catgut is made from the intestines of almost every animal except for cats.  Ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand.  Swans do not sing before dying.  Mice prefer candy to cheese.  Camels do not carry water in their humps.  The garden of Eden did exist.  Cinderella wore fur slippers in the original tale, glass occurred as a result of a mis-translation.  Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.  Marie Antoinette actually said “Let them eat bread”.  Holmes never said “Elementary, my dear Watson”.  The ice age may have been caused by a shifting of the earth’s magnetic poles, not by global cooling.  Grey whales have been discovered with sucker scars from attacks by giant squids which, by extrapolation, are larger than a house.  The Maine was sabotaged.  Every major mountain chain in the world has a legend of a large, hairy man resembling the yeti.  The Protocols of Zion are a forgery.  The Cardiff Giant, the Piltdown Man, and the Nebraska Man have all been proven to be frauds yet all have made appearances in evolutionary textbooks, even after they were disproven.  Archaeopteryx exists in the fossil record after birds, not before, and therefore cannot be a transitional species.  Shakespeare was not Bacon but was, instead, William Shakespeare.  The existence of the Giant Turtle of Hoan Kiem lake was verified in 1996 after centuries of debunking.  Molecular diamagnetism can float a frog.  The Tasmanian wolf has been extinct since 1936.  A Tasmanian wolf has been captured in New Guinea in March, 1997.  America, this is simply the truth.
