The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

[ShootMyMonkey]

Indeed, I hear that Newton guy was a total ignoramus when it came to relativity.

Not to nitpick, since I know what you meant... but didn't the principle of relativity go all the way back to Galileo?

On a more on-topic note, I saw these recently --

The sun is always somewhere between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, a distance admitted to be less than 3,000 miles; how then can the sun if it be so many thousand miles in diameter, squeeze itself into a space of about 3,000 miles only...can a camel ride on a mouse, or a whale rush down the throat of a herring?

What is the diameter of the sun?

32 miles. If the navigator neglects to apply the sun's semi-diameter to his observation at sea, he is 16 nautical miles (nearly) in calculating the position his ship is in. A minute of arc on the sextant represents a nautical mile, and if the semi-diameter be 16 miles, the diameter is of course 32 miles. And as measured by the sextant, the sun's diameter is 32 minutes of arc, that is 32 nautical miles in diameter. If ever disproof is attempted, it will be a literary curiosity, well worth framing.

My face was in great pain.

That was also after someone sent me this link from the great wingnut lord Len Horowitz telling me that it's something worth considering.

From the thread entitled Present a BETTER explanation for our existence than God. I believe it speaks for itself.

speciation is NOT macro-evolution.

Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution,[2] which refers to smaller evolutionary changes (typically described as changes in allele frequencies) within a species or population.

On a discussion about me being an atheist (Not exact wording as this was a verbal and not written conversation)

but it went something like....

Generally people who think like that are the kind of people who jump out of buildings

and

All atheists believe the universe formed from Gas

as in the big bang was condensed gas that exploded

"Have you ever seen a monkey jump out of a rock?" "...?" "No: Therefore evolution is not true!" :|

This is a brief PM exchange on another forum from about a year ago. A user tried to respond to a challenge I made to creationists asking them to present evidence for creationism.

Creationist: "Complexity requires design. The universe is far to [sic] complex to have happened by itself. Therefore, something outside of the universe must have designed it."

Me: "Ignoring, for the moment, the numerous logical fallacies in your argument, the argument from complexity itself begs the question: "What designed the designer?". You're stating that the Universe is too complex to have arisen naturally and then postulating an even more complex designer to explain it. Do you not see a problem there?"

Creationist: "There is no problem because SOMETHING had to do it! God makes the most sense!"

Me: " 'Something' does not necessarily equal 'god', Besides that, I think you missed my point. Basically what I'm saying is that you cannot say that complexity requires design and then postulate an even more complex god as your designer. It makes no logical sense. You're basically saying, 'Complexity needs a designer but my god gets to be magically immune.' "

Creationist: "Of course He gets to be immune! Like I said before, SOMETHING had to do it! Mindless energy can't do it because it's not creative! Chance can't do it because chance don't [sic] exist! Everything can't come from nothing like YOU ATHIESTS [sic] believe because only nothing comes from nothing! So it looks like God wins!!!

Plus, I never said He was MORE complex. I believe He is either as complex or more complex"

Me: "Okay, here goes.

You're making the bald assertion that complexity requires design without providing any kind of evidence to support your claim. You do understand that there is a difference between asserting something and demonstrating it to be true, right?

You're making a classic argument from ignorance. Simply because you can't understand how the Universe could have arisen naturally isn't evidence for the existence of god. It's simply evidence that the education system failed you miserably.

You're trying to use special pleading to make your case. Your argument from complexity shoots itself in the foot because you're trying to use a complex god as your designer. The inherent contradiction is your argument's fatal flaw. Unless you can reconcile 'complexity requires design' with 'complex god' then your argument is beaten before it even gets out of the chute.

You're making a leap in logic bigger than the Grand freaking Canyon. Even if I accepted your assertion that something outside of the Universe brought the Universe into existence, you'd still have miles to go before you could even begin to associate that 'something' with a god."

Creationist: "[expletive] YOU!!!

I hope you enjoy burning in Hell!

John 8:44"

Then he blocked me.

I can't remember if this is the dumbest, but at least this I have stored up in a blog. I'll try to translate it as truthfully as possible. I was commenting his blog, telling how blind atheists are and close minded and vile towards him. I was defending the atheists by saying that you are claiming some pretty heavy stuff(for example miracles of physics defying sort) without a shred of evidence to back it up. So when I asked where is these documented proof you say you have, this was the response.

I have healed sick people with prayer in the name of Jesus. We have documentation about these, but there are people who don't want the fatcs published. In my home city we have woken a dead person with the power of prayer. The medical director of the hospital, being an atheist, gave strict orders not to tell anyone about the miracle. And on top of that there are many doctors all around Finland who have been amazed how their religious patients have healed from fatal diseases, cancer and various blood diseases.

So a global alliance of evil, close-minded atheists want to keep people dying by denying and hiding the evidence of the miracles of god?

Wow. Just...Wow.

I was on the carm forums on their chat and I was chatting to a few YEC's and they were saying that in science that you have to make all sorts of assumtioms like a hand not turning into a foot. I really didn't know how to answer that one, I was dumbstruck really.

Ask him why god won't heal amputees, and if his documentation includes video footage of amputee healing.

He got so scared of me exposing his lies that he changed his handle and prevented all commenting on his profile and blog.

And after I saw his new handle(he was the moderator of certain groups, so it wasn't hard to find out) and made blog commenting on his dishonest tactics of running away from criticism, he deleted his account completely. So no more replying to him.

But who gives a crap about some amputee if this guy can raise the dead? He should have his own comic book for those superpowers (that he oddly enough didn't back up with ANY documentation even though he claimed it was available)..

No one has ever seen one element turn into another element, eh? Guess the man has never looked at the sun then. Tard.

A man called Rodney Evans on facebook is currently holding the record for stupidity on an atheist board on Facebook. Despite evidence being presented to him, he still want to believe his book..

Not technically a creationist (although he might be), but I'm arguing with a "growing-Earth" theorist on youtube who insists that, since we ALL KNOW the Earth is a giant nuclear reactor, and since we ALL KNOW nuclear reactions produce mass, then obviously the Earth is constantly increasing in mass.

Also: where else did all the water come from?! The Earth is obviously magically producing water.

 

[australopithecus]

No Fossils count as proof of descent. How do you know from looking at them that they had any offspring whatsoever? And you have the gall to say that each one of them was an ancestor of another species? You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

The Y cromosome is the proof of the miraculous scientific insight of the bible.

Males have a Y cromosome instead of the X, because god used a part of it (a "rib") to make Eve from Adam.

Out "in the wild", the craziest things I've heard came from a girl at work who was a Jehovah's witness. She was a gold mine.... "Women were not necessarily equal to men, but rather complementary to them." "Blood transfusion do not save lives. My Grand father got a blood transfusion and he still died." I showed her videos and articles about observed micro evolution and speciation in some lizards.... "That doesn't tell me anything."

I'm sure there was more, but I can't think of all our run ins right now.

Someone threw a granade a few days ago. People got injured. Some were seeking donations for the injured. I gave some money. To those who didn't provide he said. More than anything else, I believe that prayer works better than money. Pray for the victims. I almost laughed.
