What I learned from Christian radio today

This show was talking creationism this afternoon, and offered the following gems.

Plants aren't alive like animals, and they don't die. The proof for this is you can eat an orange, and the seeds you poop out can grow a tree, but once you eat a chicken, it can no longer reproduce. (So, has he not heard of pinworms and other parasites, or are they considered plants?)

God couldn't have used evolution to effect creation, because death is a component of evolution. According to evolution, death is good.

After speaking into existence every atom in the universe, forming the heavens and earth with omnipotent power, and creating the first human from mere dust, God took a rib from Adam to make Eve, and he chose the rib because removed ribs can sometimes grow back, and I suppose he wanted to take advantage of that, make his life a little easier.

That's why the sewers of New York City are famous for their orange groves. Many people assumed the alligators had brought them from Florida, but it's the other way around.
