Proving Atheists Wrong With Science #1

That's gotta be a Poe. Even Young Earth Creationists realize that people pee.

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
Lol @ We have drunk.

You know, I find myself saying that more and more, and lately it seems I end up concluding "Huh...I guess they really are that stupid" a lot more often.
I wonder how much the increasing ability to only get information from sources that tell you what you already want to hear, and tune everything else out entirely, is playing in all this.

It's funny how stupid people can be.

This thing is all over the internet. I can't find its source. I think it is a parody.

Huh?
Its perfectly tailored to the creationist audience who can be counted on simply accepting something as truth when it supports their position negating the need to explain any glaring problems with the claim that a more skeptical person would pick up.
I doubt its a poe because we're talking about the same people who argue the continued existance of chimps is a valid arguement against them sharing a common ancestor with humans. These people voluntarily embrace ignorance and allow themselves to be mislead.
No doubt this is why such fundamentalist belief is associated with attrocities because they don't question the justification behind murder and torture but rather assume it must be justified because their religion or religious leaders say so.

But creationists aren't using this to argue for creationism.
It is exclusively being used by people to make fun of creationism.

Huh?
I guess you missed the Channel Four (UK) documentary where this was actually taught in an Islamic school. The children had been taught a strawman version of evolution that stated humans evolved from chimps leading the kids to ask this question.
That said it's just one example of the poorly thought out arguements that pervade the creationist movements.

Huh?
I don't watch channel four in the UK.
Is this available on youtube?
Unfortunately Channel Four tends to clamp down on Youtube pretty quickly, and I'm not sure if you'll be able to use 4oD (Four on demand).
It was a documentary about religious schools in the UK. The Islamic school was reportedly the only school who would allow them (Richard Dawkins presents it) in, although that may have just been because they felt Richard wouldn't represent them fairly.
The previous Labour and current coalition government have a thing for religious schools and are even making state schools into acadamies run by local groups i.e. religious groups.
Have you heard of evaporation?

*drink it before it evaporates*
I can't think of anything more useless than proving atheists wrong. But that is just me. I keep asking- isn't it OK for me to be a person of faith and still enjoy and study science? Not all people think of science of any kind as atheistic.

Creationists rarely argue for creationism any way, they almost always argue against evolution.
Really! Please share your evidence, or at least examples. Thanks.
