He's in a better place now.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

It's almost as though his god has a poetic sense of humour, isn't it? Or doesn't exist. In any case, I foresee that his followers won't learn a damn thing, in a ridiculously Darwinian sense.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Thank god that one is out of the gene pool!
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

This is the second snake bite death at Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name church that I am aware of. Melinda Brown the wife of another snake handling preacher Punkin Brown received a fatal bite during a service at this church in 1995. Punkin died 3 years later after being bitten at the Rock House Holiness Church near Scottsboro, Alabama. Freedom of religion be damned. These people need to be locked in rubber room for their own good. Hopefully before they breed. Punkin and Melinda had 5 under age children when he died. Last I heard the maternal grandparents were fighting to keep the kids out of the custody of the paternal grandparents who run another snake charming church the Holiness Church of God in Jesus Name in South Carolina.
