Everything what the children said ( listen carefully ) is a great, on-going debate with f'ed-up Scientology; it is like the big theology debates back in the reformation days in Germany but without theologians and without theology.
Stephen Hawking clearly says that the way the universe was created cannot rule out the existance of God, and infact, God may be a good answer.
If Stephen Hawking (a genious) says that science doesn't counter Christianity... who are you to say it does?
BTW, the 10,000 year arguement is invalid. In the Bible people lived to be hundreds of years old. The 10,000 year arguement assumes that everyone lived a life with the lifespan we experience today. You can't pick and choose which parts you want to debate until you look at the whole picture.
That was a great South Park episode. Lots of people think SP is a juvenile cartoon instead of a commentary on society. I love how these guys attack scammers and scum.
Isaac Hayes did not participate in the new episode
South Park has exacted revenge on its former star Isaac Hayes by turning his character Chef into a paedophile and seemingly killing him off.
The opening episode of the 10th series, screened in the US on Wednesday, appeared to be a satire on Scientology.
Hayes, a Scientologist, quit the animated comedy after a different episode ridiculed the religion.
In the new show, Chef is brainwashed by the "Super Adventure Club" - thought to be a veiled reference to Scientology.
The other characters are angry at "that fruity little club for scrambling his brains".
Patched together
Hayes did not participate in the episode but his lines were apparently patched together from previous recordings.
Chef arrives after travelling the world with the Super Adventure Club and repeatedly tells the children he wants to "make sweet love" to them.
The children take him to a psychiatrist and then a strip club, where he remembers his love for women and is cured.
But he is brainwashed by the Super Adventure Club again - before falling off a bridge and being burned, stabbed and mauled by a lion and a grizzly bear.
'Hurt and confused'
At his funeral, one of the children says: "A lot of us don't agree with the choices the Chef has made in the last few days.
"Some of us feel hurt and confused that he seemed to turn his back on us.
"But we can't let the events of the past few weeks take away the memories of how Chef made us smile."
Soul singer Hayes recently announced he had left the show because of its "intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs".
But co-creator Matt Stone said: "In 10 years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews.
"He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show."
US TV network Comedy Central then pulled a different episode, which mocked Tom Cruise and more explicitly lampooned Scientology.
That prompted rumours that Cruise had demanded that the episode be dropped, which were denied by his representatives.
Hayes, 63, was admitted to hospital with exhaustion in January.
And for the record, not one of Parker and Stone's words was "Scientology."
In the completely made-up story, Chef is "brainwashed" by an organization of child molesters called the "Super Adventure Club." In order to cure Chef, Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny take their friend to a psychiatrist, a frowned-upon profession among Scientologists.
In the end, Chef dies a million Kenny deaths, only to live on, sort of, as a Darth Vader version of himself.
At his funeral, Kyle urges South Park residents to remember Chef as he was, before the brainwashing. If there is to be anger, he says, don't direct it at the beloved cafeteria worker.
Rather, says Kyle, "we should be mad at the fruity little club for scrambling his brain."

"South Park" fans have struck back, threatening to boycott Viacom's upcoming Tom Cruise flick "Mission: Impossible III" until Viacom's Comedy Central puts back on its schedule the show's Scientology spoof episode the network yanked last week.
...
We're guessing the episode may still not be enough raw meat for the piranha-esque "South Park" fans, who took to the Internet yesterday urging people to write, phone or e-mail Viacom, or sign their Chef Gate petition, letting the corporation know they and their loved ones will not see "Mission: Impossible III" (due in theaters on May 5) until Comedy Central runs the more direct Scientology-skewering episode "Trapped in the Closet."
(Normally these kinds of petitions are quixotic and kinda sweet, but there's no denying that "South Park's" core demographic -- 70 percent male, 20 percent male teens, 30 percent men age 18-34 -- is a bull's-eye for action flicks such as "Mission: Impossible.")
...
Immediately after Hayes made his announcement last week, Stone and Parker claimed in interviews that his exit from the show was entirely about his being a Scientologist. The publicity ginned up by the kerfuffle drove viewers to the show, only to be disappointed when the "Trapped" episode did not run last Wednesday night. That set off speculation it had been yanked because Cruise, or someone acting on his behalf, had said he would stop promoting "M:I3" if it aired.
"We, the loyal viewers of television's 'South Park' do hereby protest against the removal of the episode 'Trapped in the Closet,' " the fans' petition reads.
"We demand that Comedy Central put this episode back on the air and show it as soon as possible; we want everyone, including Tom Cruise, to know that censorship is wrong."
Far more fun are the comments attached to some of the more than 2,000 signatures that had been collected by the time the petition's Web server apparently crashed around 7 p.m. yesterday:
· Stop being girly-men.
· I would expect more moxie from Comedy Central.
· Bad Tommy! No biscuit!
· Get a sense of humor Tom, you couch jumping freak.
And, our personal fave:
· Free Katie!

don, have you ever watched South Park? You are correct its not real, its satire political and otherwise. If you actually watch it now and then as I do you realize that Trey Parker and Matt Stone actually have some interesting things to say about life, politics, and society.
Now you idiots boycot a movie over another NON issue.
To be honest you all just one set away from an islamic mob killing babies over cartoons of Mohomad!
Get a life, it is a CARTOON! IT IS NOT REAL!
None of it is real, it is all made up as entertainemnt! Geeze !!!
Calling people idiots over a "non issue" is rather petty. As a member of Aximsite since 2003, you should know better than to engage in name-calling. Why not simply debate the issue without the invectives?

Cartoons are a reflection of the times we live in. They represent the morals, politics, ideals and culture of our society. My kids love Tom & Jerry but they're too little to grasp some of the subtleties that I see as an adult. They laugh at the slapstick comedy, but I hear big band music and notice that back then, I believe it was the late 40's and early 50's, references to such things as Sea Biscuit, the Depression, classes in society, the rise of unions and women before they entered the working world.
Art is no different. Surely you appreciate art? Cartoons are a form of art. So are advertisements. They all try to pass a message along to the viewer. Surely you can grasp that simple message?
I think the point of all this has been lost this show has been an equal oportuinity offender I mean c'mon Jesus has a public access show for christs sake. They have probably covered every religion during its run. Issac Hayes "chef" has been a part of it from the beginning. But now all of a sudden he has a moral issue with SP's coment on religion. As Matt and Trey said he has cashed many of checks for shows bashing religion and now all of a sudden he's got a problem because its his religion in the spotlight. I hope he's getting a nice check from Tom. I would like to think that even L. Ron can take a joke.
As for religion in general it's big business plain and simple not to be confused with spirituality. Whenever a religion is given a choice between doing the "right" thing and doing whats in that religions best interest they will always choose whats in the best interest of the "company"
