I like the way a scale model of Noah's Ark with dinosaurs made him "think". Not enough, apparently.
2
If I knew my child was going to grow up to become a creationist...I'd abort the fetus.
3
I was talking with Jesus yesterday, and he said God created Dinosaurs in His own image, not Man.

We were supposed to be pets but he was busy and let one of the asteroids wipe the dinos out once.

Oopsie.

That guy's nuttier than a pecan farm.

I wrote a comment on the page, "I believe Creationists are created when a high school student gets a D because they're too lazy to read the Biology textbook.

There's as much evidence of my belief as yours (well, possibly more.)"

That comment is awaiting "moderation" so good luck to it.

If this country didn't confuse "belief" and "opinion" and in so doing grossly overvalue and indeed virtually deify the latter, this shit wouldn't happen.

You believe things for reasons, people. Opinions are what you pull out of your ass when you don't know any better, and they're exactly as valuable - and as sacrosanct - as everything else that comes out of your ass.
8
What happened to their belief that people used to ride dinosaurs (Creation Museum)??
9
Whatever.

The circles of non-logic that guy has to have spinning in his head to try to force himself to believe this nonsense have got to be impervious to any criticisms I could possibly write here.
10
What I want to know is - if a Dinosaur used a Kindle, would an Apple fall on his head and kill him?
11
I don't understand the value of biblical literalism if one has to come up with convoluted explanations like this one that go beyond what's written in the Book. There are plenty of Christians who believe the creation story in Genesis to be metaphorical and manage to maintain their faith. The whole point of literalism is supposed to be that it doesn't allow for any uncertainty or require any knowledge beyond what's in the Book.

This is just weaseling.
12
@10: Unlikely. Rosids only date from the Cretaceous period, so it's improbable that the clade would have diversified to the point that plants recognizable as apple trees would have appeared before the K-T extinction. Dinosaurs (non-avian ones at least) probably never coexisted with apples.

You don't need to be any good at football if you can just move the goalposts properly.
14
whatever man. whatever you want to imagine, that's fine by me! spaghetti ... monster ...
15
So, they extinction of the dinosaurs left a void (ecological niche) for the Bible?

But holy fuck is that some heresy right there. The person thinks the Bible begins after the Earth and animals already existed. How someone could read Genesis to allow for that is beyond me.
16
This explains the huge gap in the fossil record between where the dinosaurs died and nothing exists until man.

Oh wait.
17
So, since Paul never physically met Jesus, does that mean Paul wasn't just a woman-hating Greek misogynist with a God complex?

Are you saying Paul was a Dinosaur?

Is that why Ringo hung out with cavewomen?

Every time I buy a Fossil, the watch costs me about $25.
18
@16 I checked and the Dinosaurs never published anything on wiki, so they must not exist.
19
I suppose I was never destined to beleive in the Bible, despite my upbringing. Whenever we discussed the creation story in sunday school as a teen, I'd wonder about dinosaurs and fossils and mars and think that the Bible must not have it quite right. I never thought to question the existence of the dinosaurs.

And anyone who confuses evolutionary theory with "darwinism" is a moron who should be ignored.
20
Nice try, Christians. Could have used a vampire, though.
21
Or a shirtless weredinosaur.
22
The creationist dupes are every bit as in denial about evolution as the leftists who are alleged Darwinists but believe there are no inherent differences between races, genders and ethnicities.
23
@22 no, we just said that the difference between an individual man and another individual man of the same race is GREATER than that between "races".

If you want genetic variation, there is more genetic variation between any 2 Africans than any "race".

Seriously, it's like trying to educate doorknobs.
24
@22: It's so cute how you think you know stuff.
25
God, I hate it when I have to say "Will uis right," but you know, in this case he is. Jesus, we share 99.8% of our DNA with chimpanzees, for Christ's sake. There just isn't a whole lot of difference between races.
26
@25 that said, man/chimp hybrids are icky.
27
@5 Anne Elk was exactly who I thought of when I read that article! Brilliant!

@22 What are Darwinists, exactly?

28
@22 You know definitively the exact line between nature and nurture, exactly what traits are connected to what group based on socially constructed concepts of race, and how all genes interact with each other and environment don't you?

You don't? Well I guess you shouldn't make any more generalizations, or advocate legislation which may be based on prejudices formed by anecdotes and ignorance. The real world is a rich and complicated place. You should think about trying to understand it in a more humble way.

No one thinks the genders are the same. We just think we should have equal rights, and opportunities.
29
Seriously, what the fuck is a "Darwinist?"
30
@29 beats the shit outta me.

Must be the latest Hate Code Word out of the Stuck On Stupid crowd at the Discovery Institute.

By the way, Jesus says wearing Crocs is icky.
31
@29 A caricature of people who believe in evolution that aims to paint them as adherents to the cult of our Lord & Prophet, the inerrant Charles Darwin. It's done chiefly to obfuscate the deep appreciation accepters of the fact of evolution have for critical thinking, independent verification, rigorous analysis and peer review. It makes us something they can understand, just another cult with blind faith in their deity.
32
God, you said that well. I knew there was a reason why. I liked you.
33
Complete and utter fucktards.

Dar·win·ism (därw-nzm)
n.

A theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Also called Darwinian theory.

Darwin·ist n.
Darwin·istic adj.

28, Yep, those "equal" rights to guard male serial rapist prison inmates when you're 5'3 and have a gash.
35
Dinosaurs once roamed the Earth, but became extinct. God was sad, so She made humans by evolving mammals through a whole bunch of forms over a whole bunch of time. One day, humans will be extinct, and God will be sad again...
36
@34: Not sure if troll...or just very stupid.
37
@32 Eh, I read enough PZ Myers, something better stick.
38
Mmm. For my money, both, VL. But definitely very stupid, that's for sure.
39
Lose a prison job opportunity to a better qualified woman BH?

Please wait...
