What is the biggest scam in world history?

Is it evolution? I think so and I’m going to take my home and pretend it is the earth for a demonstration on how the ToE has been propagated to a duped world. From this demonstration we can see that from a preconceived notion we can find evidence for things that we want to accept and how we can suppress other things we don't want to accept.

For many years I believed my home to be created by an intelligent being along with all that is in it, the furniture, appliances and documents. Then let’s say someone comes in my home and says that some of my furniture exploits different niches and they say that it looks like it evolved that way. They go a little further and say that if they evolved that way then maybe everything evolved from a common ancestor. You have a chair that has short legs which exploits the living room environment and a chair that has long legs which is good for that tall table. They tell someone else then others and eventually these people are called evolutionists. Now these evolutionists get together and say, you know if evolution is true then we should be able to predict certain things about that home, furniture, appliances and documents.

For one they should be homologous. Well the chairs all have four legs and soft cushions in the same location. The appliances look similar a toaster and blender are the same color and about the same size and all those documents look similar with writing on them. They prove to be homologous which validates evolution. They should be made from the same material. The chair and couch are the same, the appliances are metal and plastic, and the documents are all paper. They prove to be made of the same material which validates evolution again.

Now that our ToE has been validated by science we can label anything else as religion and suppress it. We will get the courts to only allow evolution to be taught to kids. We will draw connecting lines showing all this descent from what we predict each piece came from based on our scientific testing. We have a solid theory and anyone that doesn’t’ believe it must be uneducated, stupid or irrational. We can get owners of other homes to agree with us by labeling people that accept evolution as reasoned and educated. We can even threaten their jobs if they teach creation. They can either voluntarily or forcefully help us propagate this theory, and label any dissenters as religious fanatics.

God Bless

I mean the last young earth theory I heard was hilarious. Some guy was claiming the dinosaurs had to be wiped out in the flood because they were the hybrid offspring of fallen angels with animals. LOL

Dragons are spiritual beings Mr. Cheese, not physical ones. They're spirits of nature like angels, faeries, etc. And yes- this is a serious answer.

I'm guessing dragons...

I mean I havent seen one of them pesky critters yet
No, that's not a scam. You haven't seen them yet because my dragon repellant works so well.

You can buy some yourself: only $9.99 (plus shipping and handling) for a can of Dragon-B-Gone. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a small price to pay to guard against the heartbreak of having your family roasted and eaten by dragons.


Now what was that about scams?

Biggest scam? Anything sold to the ignorant majority, which is used by those in power, to use and control them - whether it be religion, nationalism, etc.

The biggest scam might be lucky rabbit foots. Those things never worked for me.

I heard someone try to compare their house to biological evolution once...

Not really a scam unless they try to sell their house as an evolved living creature.

Man of Faith how is 6000 year old Creationism not a scam? Have you read some of the ridicilous theories these people come out with? They think an ark literally held every specie of animal. How did Noah get animals from Australia and the Americas over to the Middle East, and how did they get back? Magic?
