Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I was talking to Luckie about it earlier this morning, and she was pretty convinced the OP was sincere, based on the fact that at one point in her own education all she had were those same strawmen and religiously motivated shards of misinformation to go off of. And she grew out of it.

Ask yourselves: do we really want to scare off a theist that would be this much fun? Tongue


FFFUUU - you're right. People do believe a lot of bullshit and this thread has so much humor potential.

Could this be proof that God created our sun with an "expiration date"? You know, like how it talks about the 'end times' in the bible.

Yes. I don't understand what 'troll' or 'trolling' or 'trolled' or 'Poe' means. Is this some kind of scientist slang? These terms keep getting thrown around and I don't understand what they mean.

That's another word I've seen since reading these forums. Abiogenesis. Now if the bible is supposedly false, why are you people using the word 'genesis' in a scientific theory? Huh

There is no need for rude language. Also, if the water we're drinking is urine then why is it clear? And why doesn't it taste bad? So many people have existed, they have excreted waste into water and bathed in it for thousands of years, so how does water "recycle itself". I remember when me and my brother were kids we went on vacation and he left poo in the toilet and forgot to flush because we were in a hurry to leave. And let me tell you, when we returned one week later that water didn't magically clean itself. It was still there like it was when we left.

Well these scientists are saying we come from stardust. Who's to say that "dust" mentioned in the bible isn't the stardust that scientists are always talking about? Maybe they inadvertently proved some of the bible there, huh?

Yes, human stupidity is boundless.
I hope your father-in-law is okay. I'll send a prayer for his speedy healing. You shouldn't call him stupid though. We all have accidents from time to time.

I didn't make a deliberate mistake. I don't know what you're implying, but my point was that human beings can't have existed very long at all because all the water would have been used up by now. And of course human beings weren't drinking water three billion years ago. We've only been here 5,000-6,000 years.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I made my post last night right before I went to sleep. I haven't addressed all the replies yet but I will when I have time to read over them more thoroughly.

Like Stimbo said, this is all too neat and pretty. It hits all the right notes of Creationist cliches except for "I don't come from no monkey." There may very well be people that believe this, but how many of them do you think would come and present it to us in such a manner?

It reeks of manufacturing.

RE: Problems with the theory of evolution.
You see the expression on my Avatar's face? That's how I actually look right now.

I did want to comment on the observation about the rock, and the obvious strawman that wags its burlap nose at us. I mean, sure, if all matter evolves into intelligent life, why are the still rocks? That same down-syndrome logic can be applied to anything that has evolved! Look:

If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still apes?
If Americans came from Great Britain, why are there still Brits?
If Rock n' Roll emerged from the Blues, then why did Jimi Hendrix write "Red House"?
If English is a Germanic language, why do people still speak German and Dutch?

And a merry Herp Derp to you too!

Exhibit A that this is bullshit.

I mean, seriously? Tone it down if you want people to think you're for real.

If I'm wrong and she is indeed sincere, she still has some explaining to do. You just don't come around saying that something is 'silly' or 'I don't understand', but then continue to ridicule without avail that which is beyond your comprehension. If she is an Alabaman baptist, I would love to hear what she has to say about all the debunking.

EDIT: Yeah, nevermind, she's TSTL if sincere Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
