Pastafarianism is the belief that a flying spaghetti monster created the universe. This belief system was brought into the public eye by Bobby Henderson when he wrote to the Kansas School Board when they were teaching intelligent design, and demanded that all forms of ID be taught.

SquidFriend:

'''Pencils''' are writing utensils generally made of [[wood]] or [[plastic]] with a [[graphite]] center used to make marks on a surface. They differ from [[pens]] because their marks can be erased. Number two pencils are preferred for standardized tests, though a great many other densities of graphite are used for other purposes.

An aquatic animal with ten tentacles known for their abilities at camouflage, producing ink clouds, and harassment of Japanese women. There are a vast number of species spread across the globe in nearly all climates. The largest species, known as the Colossal Squid, is estimated to grow to upwards of 64 ft in length from the tip of the caudal fin the the end of the two longer tentacles.
In recent years, the popularity of calamari and other dishes including squid have caused their numbers to dwindle.

Talk:Elephant

SquidFriend:

The article states that the population of elephants tripled from January to June in 2006. As the gestation period of an elephant is 22 months, it would be impossible for the statement to be true.

This page does not reference any of its statements, and contains several that are patently untrue--a surprisingly large number for such a short article.
There is an overwhelming amount of evidence for the evolution of elephants, not ''from'' sea cows as stated in the article but from a common ancestor.

This should probably be merged with the page on Elephants (pl.) and forward to there, since that article is already longer and cited.

{{stub}}

A '''bear''' is a large furry mammal. All bears are [[omnivores]], even those which eat a mostly meat diet (polar bears) or a mostly plant diet (pandas). There are nine species of bears:

* Polar Bear - lives in the Arctic maritime region and hunts (primarily) seals.
* Brown Bear - also known as the grizzly bear. Subspecies include the Kodiak bear and the European brown bear. Lives in temperate forested regions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
* American Black Bear - smaller than the grizzly, and lives in North America. Subspecies include the Kermode bear which lives in British Columbia.
* Asian Black Bear - lives in Asia.
* Panda Bear - lives in China and eats a plant diet of bamboo.
* Spectacled Bear - a small bear which lives in South America.
* Sloth Bear - lives in South Asia and eats termites.
* Sun Bear - a small bear which lives in Southeast Asia.
* Grizzly Bear - a massive bear known to hunt humans for prey. Often considered mankind's greatest natural enemy.

Elephants

SquidFriend: /* Support for Creationism */

Elephants are large quadrupedal [[mammals]] native to [[Africa]] and [[India]]. The elephant is noted for its long trunk, or proboscis, a flexible nose strong enough to lift objects.

Elephants are not mentioned directly in the [[Bible]]. According to the creationist view they were created on the sixth day with the other beasts of the earth (Genesis 1:24-25) and survived the Flood on [[Noah\'s Ark]] (Genesis 7:7-8). The Apocryphal book [[1 Maccabees]] mentions thirty-two elephants sent by the Persian king Antiochus to attack [[Judas Machabeus]]. Numerous references are made to [[ivory]], a substance created from their tusks and worth great amounts.

In more recent times, domestic elephants have been used for riding, Polo, carrying heavy loads, and [[war]] elephants.

Centuries of hunting elephants for their ivory has dwindled the population of these animals. Renewed efforts at stewardship have caused a population boom, with the number of elephants in Africa alone tripling in the last six months.

An elephant is the symbol of the [[Republican Party]].

== Support for Creationism ==
One of the supposed pieces of evidence against evolution is that scientists cannot decide what elephants could have evolved from. Many scientists point to the idea that elephants share a common ancestor with sea cows and water dwelling hyraxes<ref>http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/misconceptions_faq.php#b3</ref><ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sirenians</ref>. Some support for this point of view is that elephants might have used their trunks as snorkels.

In the past, there were many different types of elephants like [[mammoth|mammoths]] and [[mastodon|mastodons]], but most creation scientists say that these species never made it onto the ark and that these species perished with the [[dinosaurs]]{{fact}}. Scientists and scholars agree that Noah could not have trekked all the way to the arctic to collect a pair of mastodons before the earth was flooded, and they all drowned. There is some debate over why other arctic species like polar bears and penguins survived, though those two species could have swam to floating glaciers and ridden them through the flood.
