Come on, Creationists!

[ppp]

Despite the constant false refrain from creationists, there is nothing in the Big Bang Theory that either says or implies that the universe came from nothing.

If you, a Young Earth Creationist, were able to demonstrate that the Big Bang Theory was incorrect, and that both Common Descent and the Theory of Evolution by natural selection were impossible, that would do absolutely nothing to demonstrate that there is a god.

There are not enough water molecules on Earth for there to have been a worldwide flood.

If the Earth were 6000 years old, it would be either a blob of molten rock or a cloud of dispersing plasma.

Beware the blue wire.

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant.

Irreducible complexity is an argument from ignorance.

In science, a law is not a higher level than a theory.

The second law of thermodynamics does not preclude life.

Evolution has been observed.

You are a great ape.

To Serve Man is a cookbook.

Calling you a numbskull is not an ad hominem fallacy. Saying that you are wrong because you are a numbskull is.

Your value as a human being is not a function of your composition.

The animal world is not all tooth and claw.

If you think that ancient peoples did not know that an embryo at the mudghah stage looks like a wad of gum, then you did not grow up on a farm.

Onan's sin is not about masturbation.

 

[robocop (actually)]

Onan's sin is the beginning of all Jewish discussion of masturbation.

What is it you actually want to discuss here?

 

[Audie]

For sure it's way past time for the creationists to up their game a little.

But

Its impossible.

The two Jews that I am currently playing Civilization VI with both said, and I quote, "Phhhhhbt!!"

Oh, I don't know. Maybe the spring fashion line out of Barcelona? I am hoping for shoulder pads this year.

Our church upped its game:

"Don’t expect the Old Testament to present a thorough and precise history of humankind. That’s not what the original authors and compilers were trying to create. Their larger concern was to teach something about God—about His plan for His children, about what it means to be His covenant people, and about how to find redemption when we don’t live up to our covenants."

That’s not what the original authors and compilers were trying to create.

I suspect that statement is likely true. But there is, of course, no way to tell. It may be true of some of the stories, and not true of others.

Thank you. On that note, can we end this? I've made progress and I don't want this to go endlessly.

I thought we had a single exchange. Were we discussing something endlessly?
But sure. I am not going to chase you down

Larger concern than the facts.
Interesting

Youd think the Master of the Universe could
do both.

The SLoT does not preclude evolution. If it did, then that means it would also preclude life.

I am a fantastic ape. Darned near the finest.

Love that book.

What about the blue wire?

With inflation, the value of the chemical composition of a body has gone up.

Hey! I'm not just a great ape. I'm a great ape in shoes!

I too am concerned about the blue wire. All this time I was suspicious of the red one.

And what about the vessel with the pestle?

I have been suspicious of that blue wire for some time. Shocking, I know.

I'm pro vessel but anti pestle, they should be restricted to mortars.

You are an impeccable ape. All of the lesser apes want to be you.

"Beware the Blue Wire" is a quote from "Hudson Hawk" A movie that I only recommend to people who already love it.

He just wants to rant by the looks of it.
