Welcome to Hippoism - the UK's fastest growing religion

A truly scientific explanation for the creation of the Universe

The Pink Hippo

* It is self-evidently true that:
1. All things must have a beginning and cause
2. All things are created by something.
3. The Universe must have had a beginning and cause.
4. Evolution is just a theory not a fact.
5. Nothing happens by accident.
6. Something must have designed and created the Universe.
7. The variety and complexity of animal and plant life means that there must have been an intelligent designer.

* The Pink Hippo is the designer and creator of the Universe and everything within it.
* "The Holy Book of The Pink Hippo" provides irrefutable written evidence that the Universe was created 6,047 years ago.
* The Universe, in all its complexity, came into being at that time - instantly.
* On Earth, geological formations and layers were created instantly.
* On Earth, fossils and archeological sites were created instantly.
* We do not need logic, rational thought or science to know that the Universe was designed by The Pink Hippo - it is a self-evident Truth.

The holy books of Hippoism

* "The Holy Book of The Pink Hippo": the story of creation and the words of The Pink Hippo.
* "The Revealed Truth" or "Revelations of The Pink Hippo": the recorded words of The Messenger.

Hippoists, Ahippoists and Hipponostics

* Hippoists: those who believe in The Pink Hippo, accept The Holy Book of The Pink Hippo and follow the teachings of The Messenger as written in The Revealed Truth.
* Ahippoists: those who reject The Pink Hippo and who will spend eternity in boiling lard.
* Hipponostics: those who think that the existence of The Pink Hippo can be neither proved nor disproved.

Proof of the existence of The Pink Hippo

* Everything has a cause so something or someone must have created the Universe.
* Other religions believe that a god created the Universe (*)
* That leaves the obvious question: "what created god?"
* The answer is simple: the Universe and all gods were created by The Pink Hippo.
* Some people ask: "who created The Pink Hippo?" This is meaningless because The Pink Hippo has always existed and will always exist.

* apart from atheists and ahippoists who simply say "we don't know" or believe that the Universe has always existed (in one form or another) and that matter can be neither created nor destroyed - it merely changes form over time. Such people will rot forever in boiling lard.

Hippoism, science and evolution - a challenge to atheists

Many ahippoists and atheists feel that science and evolution pose a threat to religious beliefs.

They could not be more wrong - we welcome and support much of the work of scientists such as Richard Dawkins.

The Hippoist blessing

To be said while standing on one leg, with nose in the air and arms positioned as in the image of The Pink Hippo:

"May The Pink Hippo bless you and may the grass be long and damp to speed your journey through life."
