The stupidest thing a creatonist has ever said to you

[Frenger]

I think I can probably get a good story every couple of weeks from one of the classes I teach.

Here's a new one.

"Evolution just isn't true, what happens if you throw a cat into a river?"

Me - "It jumps out"

"Exactly, it doesn't evolve does it".

I knew it1 Evilution CAN'T be true! Solved, sorted, done.

Honest question here about something I heard. The oceans produce more and more salt each year, correct? Then how come they aren't solid salt now if the world had been around for millions or billions of years.

:roll:

Ha! I have only been on this forum a few weeks but I can agree with that

 

[)O( Hytegia )O(]

So in other words, you can't really justify the thread being locked. Grown men apologize when they've made a mistake. I'm not going to listen to story after story on LoR of how creationist sites lock threads, block accounts, kick evolutionists out, etc. and partake in the same garbage. That's hypocrisy

Yep.
Ignore the hundreds of threads where creationists have come here, and partook in discussion without their threads being locked and they are not banned.

Hell, we've had worse loons than Creationists come on here for discussion and debate - and it's STILL the same.

YesYouNeedJesus[/url]"]For the millionth time, the soft tissue tested positive for 14C!!! That means it's young. You expect to find 14C in a specimen like this. You can resort to a "rescue device" and claim that the 14C comes from 13C, but that's just a rescue device. You should be saying, "Wow, that dinosaur must be young. I wonder if the 14C possibly came from 13C and neutron capture?" It's like the crazy people that can't explain why the near side of the moon, which is protected by the Earth, is the beat up side of the moon. (Creationists can explain this.) And so they come up with a wild theory with absolutely no evidence that there used to be 2 moons and they collided.

Of course the C13 rescue device doesn't work because there's not enough uranium, thorium, etc. in the earth's crust to account for this.

Jehovas Whitnesses at my house: ...the Universe is 17 billion light years old...
Me: I'm sorry, it's light years old?
Them: Yes?!?

This is the first time in a looooong time that I've actually laughed at a creationists comments, instead of simply despairing for humanity.

What the fuck? :lol:

A comment left on one of my videos:

I don't like to see either creationists, or anyone, stating things as if they are, fact when they are speculation. The things about evolution is that 100% of it is speculation. At least with the Bible you have got things like fulfilled prophecy...

That is arguably one of the best quotes I have ever heard, I have nothing compared to that.

When I was a Mormon I was taught:

"No religion can say they are the one true religion, but if you stop being a Mormon you're going to Hell."

Any wonder why I ultimately left?

It does seem a little silly, however, South Park agrees with that hypothesis

 

[FiverBeyond]

My favorite Creationist quotes are where they emphatically state something that is absolutely correct, thinking they've made a key point in arguing against Evolution.

Best example:

"The only reason why you would classify man with apes is purely because of biology."

In this thread, I linked to a looooong post of mine, debunking "Evolution - The Grand Experiment - Part 1". The person I addressed it to (JohnB) now responded twice, I'll be addressing his claims quite soon. Anyone who's taken a look at what I posted will (hopefully) see that I debunked all of the false claims made in the video. JohnB said, addressing another member:

Again, please don't get bogged down by the HUGE amounts of "data" that Inferno provided (i.e., smokescreen)

Gotta love it. Ignore the data, just watch the next video. :lol:

VenomfangXP in a recent email to me:

God didn't come from anywhere because God is a necessary entity. Asking "Where did God come from?" is the logical equivalent of asking "Where did the number 4 come from? When did it start to exist?"

I had to laugh at the fact that he compares god to a number, which IS an invention of the human mind used to organize groups. Why do we even need to argue with these people? They just need to listen to themselves..... :lol:

[malicious_bloke]

Speaking of god and numbers, I once had a creationist tell me that Pi (hmm, that's a point, if i post greek characters will they actually parse here?) was a good proof of God since it was perfect, infinitely recurring and it took three of them to make a circle (like the trinity or something).

Yeah it didn't make any sense to me either.

Greetings,

I've proposed that years ago. The standard reply is "But we don't need to have witnessed it, because we have the Bible. And we know the Bible is perfect because God said so. And we know he said so cuz it's in the Bible. And we know the Bible is perfect because..."
It just reveals their bias toward the Bible and against scientific evidence.

When someone says 'the bible is perfect,' I would recommend asking them to quote something from it. Ask for specifics of it's locations. Once you obtain the location and they quote something from it, just quote something evil from the same chapter since you can find something morally corrupt in just about every chapter of that 'holy book.' Did that to somebody not that long ago. They stopped throwing out bible quotes and just turned into a religious drone, losing their 'humble, passive aggressive' attitude they'd been maintaining for so long in the process. It's kind of hard to call the bible 'perfect' when you are throwing out quotes from every chapter that shows it's a monstrous tome of pure evil.

It was funny to watch him squirm. It was especially funny when I quoted Romans 1:24-32 at him, and he replied by quoting the same thing. Apparently he holds a version of the bible different from my own because where the quote I read was more specific to a couple groups, what he quoted back was far more generalized and raised 'the projected kill count' far higher.

When dealng with anyone using the Bible (or any other "holy" religious text) as their proof against the "Big Bang" or Science, one has to use a slightly different approach.

Merely trying to deny the Bible's authority won't work - the debate just descends into a "Is too!" v "Is not!" impasse.

Here's part of my approach when challenged as to why I don't accept the Bible literally or why I accept the "Big Bang"/Science or what is it that I believe?...

The Word of God is the Creation we behold and it is in this Word, which no human invention can counterfeit or alter, that God speaketh universally to man.

Thomas Paine, in The Age of Reason

Consider the implications of what he's saying.

The ONLY "Direct Word" of which we can be certain is the Cosmos - everything else is indirect, because it comes to us through Man.

How do we study the Direct Word?

Through Science.

It is scientists who study the Direct Word.

Ironic, isn't it, that those who are actually studying the Direct Word should be denigrated by those who cleave to a misinterpretation of a mistranslation of a indirect word?

[DG - It's just one of thousands of "indirect words" throughout human history.]

Those who cleave to a indirect word are in danger of their souls being led astray - and worse, of leading other souls astray.

They are turning their backs on the Direct Word - and, thus, on God.

The point is to make them aware that their souls are in peril - and to get them to face the fact that they need to choose between the Direct Word and (any) indirect word.

I remember Dawkins talking about a geologist - who's also a creationist - who has turned his back on what the rocks are telling him because it contradicts the Bible. One wonders what God would say to him when he goes to meet his Maker? "Each time you picked up a rock, you held My Word in your hand - yet you put your faith in a indirect word?"

Kindest regardrs,

James
