They are trying so hard to keep creationism relevant in this world.

I can't believe no one had already quoted this bit...

Quote:As a think tank focused on intelligent design, the Discovery Institute presumably has no need for physical laboratories—its research is mostly imagination-based.

The only place it belongs is in a comedy bit.

Agreed. I was too smart for Santa Claus as a child. There was no way I was buying that shit as a child either.

That tells you something, if a child thinks your religion is bullshit, it just may be bullshit.

Hah, I was exactly the same. When a kid won't believe in Santa, then Jesus doesn't have a chance. Tongue

My Gran is a creationist, so I would always have a go at her when she would say that dinosaurs never existed. I was a mean 5 year old.

Dude, can't they just rent an office and get some sciencey-looking material from some store? Did they really have to just bluescreen themselves in front of a stock photo?

I don't think there was anything deceptive here.

I mean, the whole green screen effect is so blatantly obvious. You can actually see the outline around her hair where one image was sloppily merged with another (and that's not even saying anything about the different lighting). Surely if they'd intended to deceive, they'd have done a better job.

No, I think this is a faith lab and that's the point. Sure the lab is phony but it does exist in a higher realm. You just have to have faith that the lab exists just like you have to have faith the science is sound.

Oh no no, not at all it! It just means the child is possessed by the Unholy Spirit! Confused

hock:

Or some such tripe.

That's ok. This is who they hired to run the lab:

No, you underestimate how gullible most people are. Your average person not knowing in the first place that there was a green scre....

oh

It's YahwehIsTheWay.

Damn, you almost had me.
