Prove any one part of it wrong, and the whole thing comes crashing down.
So, I thought I'd make a thread where we could all share "quick debunks" of YEC theory. These should be no longer than 1-3 paragraphs long. Just something to throw in creationists' faces upon encountering their weak ass arguments. It would benefit us all to be armed with a pocket-full of quick takedowns.
I'll go first: The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away from us. That means that when we look at Andromeda through a telescope, we do not see it as it exists today. We see it as it existed 2.5 million years ago. If the universe is only 6,000 years old as you say, this means that when God created the cosmos, he actually stretched the light from Andromeda to Earth. Why? To give anyone with a telescope good reason to doubt the accounts in Genesis? It makes no sense.
I guess that religious dogmas are as bad as atheists dogmas.
The two are located at the two extreme yet one extreme think that he is correct while the other is wrong.
Not worth talk about it.
For once I agree with you. Our dogmas and theirs are next to nothing compared to those of spiritual seeker types. Those fawning bastards give me the creeps. They always speak too low and most of what they say just drips with innuendo, but I know you already thought of that, didn't you sport? A lot like this guy. (Not your teacher, was he?)
