The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

[e2iPi]

I'll pray for you

I get this all the time. I usually respond that I'll wish really, really hard on a star for them.

I nearly gave up hope for humanity when a creationist who is also a friend of mine said "I don't believe in science."

Either that, or when during a discussion in philosophy class that same creationist asked us why we always needed proof and could never go on faith, then literally ten seconds later when I brought up a study about something or other she asked where my proof was. That conversation was way back in December and I can't remember the exact words. I know we were talking about Nostradamus at first when she waved the need for proof and I think the conversation changed to the topic of freewill when she demanded I back up my words.

'Evolution is a theory.'

Like its a bad thing. Permapalm, my palm is attached to my forehead permanently now, its a terrible disability. I might sue.

God alot of this is pure gold. Failgold, theres a phrase for you.
Or failoil. Unrefined failoil.

*sigh* I have a new one, when confronted with the collation between homicide rates and 'church going' rates, someone told me this:

so because the christians are turning the other cheek and not fighting back they are getting murdered more often so therefore they are more violent? This could be the logical conclusion of this. Your stats prove nothing at all

 

[IrBubble]

so because the christians are turning the other cheek and not fighting back they are getting murdered more often so therefore they are more violent? This could be the logical conclusion of this. Your stats prove nothing at all

Impressive. I never knew that people got murdered for turning the other cheek, nor that people murdered people back after being murdered. I'm very sure that he has extensive research to back his claim up.

And he's right, your stats that show that christians are more violent absolutely does not prove that they are more violent.

"here is a kent hovind video. the girl attacks him because darwinists can't prove evolution."

It's not the stupidest, but it's the most recent.

"How can we be smart without God? Think about it. We know man is a fallable creature, with prejudice, error, finite knowledge. Hence, if we trust in ourselves, how can we be smart if we are fallable?The only thing that opens our minds is God, or a power outside of us."

I keep giggling about misspelling fallible for some reason.

"Scientists compared the DNA of humans and DIRT and found that they were so similar it was almost scary!"

-Heard from a preacher in a Southern Baptist church

 

[Smtrphilosopherredux]

During a discussion about Leviticus:

Them:
"Well of course the victim should be bought by and married to her rapist. Her father should receive some compensation if he has to give up his daughter. And what if a child was conceived? Should that child be raised with out a father, that would be awful. It's better the child live with both his biological parents."

Me: "What about the victim?"

Them: "Well she'd be married and that's the best any woman could ask for."


A facepalm doesn't cover this. I almost bashed my head into the wall for how frustratingly stupid this was.

 

[Ciraric]

Actually, back in biblical times I'd bet that marriage was the best a grown woman could ask for.

A facepalm doesn't cover this. I almost bashed my head into the wall for how frustratingly stupid this was.

Not to mention the blatant disregard for human rights and decency that the person displays.

 

[borrofburi]

Not necessarily the stupidest, but the most recent:

Sorry, but your definition here represents a false dichotomy... 'creationist and scientist'... what do you do when a person is both? and how do you, define a scientist?

Also:
This guy has a problem not with evolution, but with the concept of random mutations and natural selection, he thinks that's too poor of a mechanism and that proves that god guides and inspires and helps evolution along.

You do understand that I'm not contesting evolution don't you? ... To challenge the theory doesn't always involve rejecting the theory. ... Is NS correct because you say so, or because your 6th grade Biology teacher says so? Is it correct because it produces verifiable predictions? Why?

Dirt has DNA!? Does that mean every time I go to till my garden I am in fact causing soil sexual intercourse? /sarcasm

:facepalm:

My best would have to be:

Well Noah did not need to take every disease on the ark. Satan makes diseases. Long after all the animals had thousands of babies and Noah had restarted humanity, Satan then returned every disease back to the earth.

[salko7]

here's one about the jews controlling the world and worshiping satan....

i was looking at a list of scientists they were mostly jews and they happen to get their ideas by accident

he was trying to point out that satan was behind the accident , i don't know if what he was saying is true but couldn't he thought that these "accidents" happen to alot of people just these scientists didn't go by it like nothing happened but went :"hmmm i wounder why did that happen?"

and as i sarcastically replay: "yeah what an evil devil satan is helping humans..."
he replays:"but not all science is good"

its like he wants to live in the stone-age :roll:

 

[borrofburi]

Well, here's a new one, (s)he said to Squawk, but I think it's deserving:

No scientist says "Here is the evidence, now what does it tell me?" Instead they say "What evidence can I find that will support my belief?" The scientist will only publish the evidence that, supports his belief and hide or ignore the rest.

"And last night, after eating dinner, I had a stomachache and I felt sick to my stomach. So I went in my bedroom, got my Bible, went in the bathroom, and read. And as I read, I was thinking, 'If I read the Bible, I won't have a stomachache anymore.' And guess what happened a few seconds after I started reading? My stomachache stopped.Also: Last night, I read prayers from the Bible before going to bed, which I usually don't do. When I don't do the prayers from the Bible asking God to help me fall asleep and to protect me and let me have peaceful sleep and good dreams, I usually can't fall asleep, and sometimes I have nightmares when I do manage to fall asleep. But last night, when I DID do those prayers, I was out cold within 15 minutes, and I had peaceful, happy dreams. You can pass off the one about my sleep, but it's pretty hard to come up with an excuse besides "God exists" for my stomachache."

Placebo effect and Indigestion NOW PROOFS OF GOD!

Here's waht a creationist co-worker said to me one day:

"Science isn't reality"

I wasn't exactly sure how to reply to that one.......
