Pat Robertson implores creationist Ken Ham to shut up
February 5, 2014 at 4:18 pm
Quote:Pat Robertson responded to the recent debate between Young Earth creationist Ken Ham and Bill Nye, a.k.a. “The Science Guy,” by reiterating his disagreement with Ham’s form of creationism.
“Let’s face it,” Robertson said, “there was a Bishop [Ussher] who added up the dates listed in Genesis and he came up with the world had been around for 6,000 years.http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/02/05/pa...w.facebook
You know your crazy when Pat Robertson think your crazy.

Certainly not what Nye intended, but not an unwelcome result to sow dissension among the ranks.

I wonder if Pat has an example of a creationist that is not a joke?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

For being a creationist, I think Ken Ham did ok. But Pat is a cocksucker 100%.

What level of bat shit crazy do you have to be to have Pat Robertson tell you that your adherence to scripture flies in the face of all logic?
LOL. This is hillarious!

"a creationist that is not a joke". In the 21st century. That is a joke, right?
Yep, that's what I was getting at.
