RE: Argument #1: Transitional Fossils
Creatard makes a claim, claim gets thoroughly disproved, Creatard says "neener-neener, I can't hear you", Creatard posts a wall of text from an Islamic Creationist, Holocaust Denier, Extortionist, and Conspiracy Theorist, who, by the way, has ZERO education or expertise that would barely even allow him to be on the same planet as an evolutionary biologist.

Creatard then claims victory.

Solid work, Rev. You were so thoroughly outmatched you were shocked right out of your senses!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

When I see such intransigence in a creationist with regard to such things as transitional fossils, I make this challenge. My challenge is for you to go on a geological field trip with me. I make this offer because only by seeing the evidence in the field first-hand, is there any possibility that such intransigence can be addressed. Rev, if you truly believe in the rule of evidence, I challenge you to go on a one-day geological field trip with me and anyone else who wants to attend. I am disabled, so it has to be in the vicinity of where I live (Louisville, Kentucky). But not to worry, there are lots of outcrops and a myriad of fossil treasures to ponder here. I know you won't take me up on my challenge. I've been offering to do this for almost six years now, and only two creationists have taken me up on the challenge (local friends who where convinced by me that they were wrong about what the evidence shows, but are still believers in Christianity, which is fine). I'm not asking you to give up your faith. I'm asking you to join me in the field to see the evidence first hand. How that influences you afterward is entirely up to you. What say you, Rev. Got a pair? Or will you run away like the rest have?


Dear Sir,
Thank you for the offer but I must decline due to the distance.

Seriously? Harun Yahya?! Harun Yahya, who has no qualifications to be making that claim? Harun Yahya, whose book "the Atlas of Creation," is one of the biggest laughing stocks in creationist literature and aptly demonstrates how little he knows about biology, or cares about it beyond how it can be twisted to support his views?

Rev, take a look at this. That's a picture of a fishing lure that Yahya put into his book as a supposedly real organism, and that happened more than once. A fishing lure! You can see the goddamn hook!

Doesn't that just aptly demonstrate how little care for reality this man has? Doesn't that show the complete blindness his mad dash to prove creationism no matter what has given him?

How can you seriously post the views of a man who mistook a couple of fishing lures as real animals? It's so clear this man has no idea about biology!

Seriously Rev, come and debate me one on one. Let's seriously examine this issue, and see how well your claims hold up. It's an open challenge.

Fixed that for you, Esq.

I doubt your conclusion is correct, but if you feel you can defend it, then come to the debate area, and put it to the test against me. To be clear, neither of us are scientists, so we're on an even playing field. If your ideas stand up to scrutiny, you should have no problems with this arrangement. Thinking

I was thinking along the lines of comedic value whereby we may get a chuckle or two from the ensuing ignorance.
