Argument #2: Evolution Of Species

[The Valkyrie]

Why should any of us here be respectful of your beliefs when your beliefs are not respectful to us as atheists? Do you have any idea what the people says to do to people that leave the religion? Well the first the old testament tells us that you should burn down the whole fucking town if someone is a atheist in another town, it says that if your ducking mother or wife deconverts you should stone them to death,


So no, your pitiful beliefs do not deserve respect.

In 1999, Dr. Stephen Taylor wrote,

The Creation Research Society currently has a membership of 650 scientists, each one holding a Master’s degree or above in a recognized field of science. In a recent article Dr. Russell Humphreys, physicist at Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico, estimates that there are around 10,000 practicing professional scientists in the USA alone who openly believe in a six-day creation.

1 Ashton, In Six Days (1999) Page 284

See evolution is not as clear cut as you think. In fact if you read the book, "In Six Days" you may be left with more questions about your beliefs than ever before. So please be open minded to creation.

"Several of the scientists who wrote chapters for In Six Days say they were once atheistic evolutionists who didn’t accept Christianity and creation until after they realized that the theory of evolution is scientifically bankrupt. Their rejection of evolution did not come from some Christian brainwashing which prevented them from thinking rationally. They rejected the theory because science evidence is overwhelmingly against evolution." http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~do_while/sa...#footnote1

First up Stephen Taylor has a Ph.D in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. Yeah, that makes him qualified to be an authority on the fact of evolution or cosmology.

Now, I've been moderately polite with you until now, Rev. But the gloves are coming off.

I have REPEATEDLY stated that just because some "scientists" go against the majority doesn't make them right. It doesn't matter of 1000 or 10,000 believe in creationism or oppose evolution. Appeals to authority don't fucking matter, especially when that authority is in the fucking minority.

Now, please give the sciences that those scientists are in. The last time creationists tried this bullshit the majority of those they cited had their degrees in theology or fields that had nothing to do with evolutionary biology. Some had been misquoted and others hadn't participated in the survey at all. The response, from the National Center for Science Education was Project Steve. I've mentioned this project before, Rev. Did you even have the honesty to look it up?

No, I didn't think so.

I am an intelligent, self aware being thtat he apparently made this way knowing I'd be curious. I am a person who works in a field where I get to see your deity's failings on a daily basis.

I am a human.

I am a woman.

I am a doctor.

I am me.

Who is your god to question me? For I KNOW that I, at least, exist.

God never failed, we failed and continue to fail. He is sovereign and answer to no one and all must answer to Him. He always was, is, and will be - we are mortal and will disappear as a wisp of vapor.

Time for a little tough love, Rev.

If you ever wonder why you get mocked, look no further than this post. Esquilax was trying to help connect the dots for you, and you responded with.... ....something mind-bendingly stupid.

You're ignorant, led by people who are deceiving you, and you are blind to it. It's apparent you don't care.

Notice all the other Christians coming to your defense? Oh, wait, they're not - and we certainly have plenty of them here. Why do you think that is? I suspect they're embarrassed.

How many Christians are active members here?
