Who needs evidence? Creationism is an act of faith.
Ping!
I wonder if I’ll get to read “Science is stupid” on this thread like on past, similarly themed threads.
What’s a Billion years here or there between friends.
Very little factual data in this article. Most of the references are the result of severe ignorance or just the usual lies.
But at least Dr. Batton likes plants. Don’t see that too much around the creationist zoo.
I can’t help but think of ‘Grand Canyon 2’ whenever I see this sort of piece.
Ever wonder why you can’t mine plutonium anywhere? No shortage of people wanting it but nowhere on earth can so much as an atom of the stuff be found. Every bit we have is manmade. Why is that?
With all due respect - and as a person of faith:
Good grief? What is this creationist stuff doing here?
The “science” is just about as believable as drivel coming from Gore.
Leave God alone. The universe is quite good as it is. God is obviously a mathematician...and far more advanced than these creationists pushers are.
Pure nonsense. The Appalachians, for example, formed in three separate episodes from 470 miilion years ago to 250 million years ago. Most of the Rockies formed about 65 million years ago.
When ever I hear someone saying that something is millions of years old I always wonder how they know that their calculation is correct. To me, that’s an act of faith.
Creationist are like David Letterman. They love putting out top-10 (or 100 in this case) lists that are somewhat amusing.
Thanks again for the daily laugh. Some of the entries on that list are real howlers!
“Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience.
Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men.
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion. [1 Timothy 1.7]”
—St. Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354-430)
Interesting... thanks.
It sure can...
for certain values of "science".
Human population growth. Less than 0.5% p.a. growth from six people 4,500 years ago would produce today’s population. Where are all the people? if we have been here much longer?
Yeah and 6 flies can produce a trillion desendents in 5 years, so the fact we ain't up to our necks in flies must mean the earth is less than 2 years old.
War, Crime, Plagues, etc? Ever hear of those?
Let me guess, You are really an Atheist and are posting this stuff just to make Christians look bad
Seriously, there is nothing that science can do to convince me God did not have a hand in creating the universe, and our planet. How old is the earth? Who cares. But I do think it is far younger than what science-with-an-objective tells us. And what about the Dinosaurs? I believe in the time of Noah, man populated only a tiny area of the Earth. It is not unthinkable that creatures not written about in the Bible roamed other continents of the planet.
More of your completely non-scientific claptrap again I see.
You creationistas are really grabbing at straws even more frantically.
This is a good list. You are doing a great service to the conservative movement by providing FR with a view of how gargantuan the case against evolution is.
Why are you excepting a blog?? If it’s do dang important, post it. If it’s not important enough to post here, I’ll move on.
