    In the beginning there was nothing.

    Except this super powerful being we call God.

    And then God said: "Let there be telephones!"

    And he waved his magic wand, and the world had telephones.

    After the miracle of telephones, a new religion was born around it called 'Phonity.'

    For some unexplained reason, Good didn't make cellphones for another 5000 years.

    But the Phonians never concern themselves with such unanswered questions.

    The full quote that the Snowflake neglected to post:

    “God made these things called telephones and they could get on the phone and talk to each other,” he said.

    You would think that if God made telephones he would have one himself and people would be able to call him.

    The Phonians figure God has an unlisted number. You know, because he would be too popular and get too many solicitation calls.

    Ah yes taking things out of context is the mark of a true liar. Here is what was said in context.
    He said the Department of Homeland Security and health officials at other departments have given conflicting answers on how long it’s likely to take to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
    “God made these things called telephones and they could get on the phone and talk to each other,” he said.
    Translation TALK TO EACH OTHER!

    Why did you not post the full quote, Snowflake?

    In the beginning there was nothing.

    Then nothing exploded and it created the universe; then ultimately, cell phones lol.

    The hysteria is a little over the top, imo.
    Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017

    "Nancy Messonnier, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters Tuesday that containing the virus will become increasingly difficult as more and more countries are affected.

    “It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,” she said, warning: “Disruption to everyday life might be severe.” "

    Don’t forget that the virus originated in China.
