My personal favorite, one I actually will quote word for word, which was uttered from the lips of my ex-wife's grandmother. . . "Well if all this evolution stuff is for real, why can't we just put a monkey in a cage and have him turn into a human?" I wish I was making this up.

I was going to respond, but Stemann took my answer:

Science can't tell us why we are here. This should not be a criticism of it, since it never claimed to.
Exactly. It's stupid to criticize something for not doing what it's never claimed to do.

The "but scientists have made mistakes in the past/change their minds" is a classic. And "science is faith-based too, ergo anything faith-based is equally valid." And the "it's just a theory" is one I hear a lot.

1) that dinosaurs didn't exist, all the fossils are just part of the conspiracy . . .

2) the moon landing was fake and so are all the trips to the space station (living 20 minutes away from the cape, I can tell you that is one heck of a trick they got going on) . . .

3) doctors do the devil's work by acting like God. (I knew the man who let his child die of 100's of yellow jacket stings, because he believed doctors are devils advocates.

Sadly I was going to bring this up. I've heard it from a few people. I've even heard that Satan just put stuff in the ground to confuse us.

Leave God's work to God, scientists have no right to explore these things. Like when the last pope told Carl Sagan to study the universe, just not how it began for that was God's work. That was an article in USA Today online just a month ago or so.

I like this post. I think the technique and meathodology is in bigger question than statements. Religion that attempts to "debunk" science is propogating the exchange faith based deductions over evidence-based deductions and testible propositions. The religious amoung us whom reject science are by substituting it with religious postulations rejecting the entire idea of testible evidence in exchange for faith-based knowledge.

Mr. Cruise simply doesn't care how many people believe his crap that might otherwise get treatment for curable or manageable disorders.
