Linux users point out that computer scientists conveniently overlook the actual historical evidence. The only reliable historical record that the world has is the World Wide Web, wherein can clearly be found Scripture that is written by Torvalds Himself, the famous Epistle to the Netlanders. Scripture teaches Linux users that Torvalds bootstrapped Himself via assembly language. He created the first Linux in His own image. The first shell program in the history of Creation was bash. Computer scientists would have one believe that there were a multiplicity of shell programs in existence before this, from which bash was chosen as part of a Darwinian natural section process called survival of the program with the compatible software licence. However, as they themselves will admit, that is only a theory.

Put your trust in Linux. Let it into your heart as your lord and saviour. Cast aside the wicked teachings of computer scientists. And lobby your local school boards for equal time to be given in school classrooms to both computer science and the teachings of Linux, so that our children may grow up right-minded and free from the deviltry of mainframe thinking.

Even Richard Dawkins, staunch opponent of Linux, computer scientist, Creation denialist, and author of Modern Operating Systems, does not argue the existence of VMS.
