That's right brothers and sisters, according to Michael Behe's new book, God almighty has descended from heaven to miraculously endow the malaria parasite with chloroquine resistance. Natural mutations could not possibly create resistance to the drug, with odds he claims of 1 in 10^20 (never mind that millions of people have billions of malaria cells reproducing daily). So God, in his infinite wisdom has chosen to protect the poor Malaria protozoa from sinners trying to kill it with quinine
"Here's something to ponder long and hard: Malaria was intentionally designed. The molecular machinery with which the parasite invades red blood cells is an exquisitely purposeful arrangement of parts. C-Eve's children died in her arms because an intelligent agent deliberately made malaria, or at least something very similar to it."

So all together now
every Protozoa is sacred
every protozoa is great
if a protozoa gets wasted
God gets quite irate
Well, it's nice to know He puts his omnipotence to good use.. Yay, God!
Oh Lord, please don't burn us,
Don't grill or toast your flock,
Don't put us on the barbecue,
Or simmer us in stock,
Don't braise or bake or boil us,
Or stir-fry us in a wok...
Oh please don't lightly poach us,
Or baste us with hot fat,
Don't fricassee or roast us,
Or boil us in a vat,
And please don't stick thy servants Lord,
In a Rotissomat...
whom is c-eve?
