OH MY GHEY GOD!!!

Is there no end to the desperation of these fundies??

[Jackalope]

Fail.

In recent years however, some have challenged the account and say there is no scientific evidence to support Genesis.

Its sad that somewhere out there someone actually typed up this inane pile of crap and thought it sounded clever.

Honestly the article is like the opposite of Monty Python's "world's funniest joke" sketch, in that its so unfunny it could literally kill your brain cells. I had to stop several times for a breather before I could dare continue sampling that page of vomit.

People forfeit all self-respect when they start taking the spew of goat herders who thought the world flat and Heaven above the clouds seriously. Are xtians so desperate to prove this holey Bible true they'll distort and dismiss centuries of scientific progress and discovery to make a statement about their beliefs?

And it all happened in six days! amazing!

According to NASA, planets form inside a proto-planetary disc of dust and debris, starting out in a formless and chaotic state in total darkness, as describe in Genesis verse 2. "Now the earth proved to be formless and waste, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep."

NASA's scientists have discovered that as the planets mature inside their dusty cocoon they suck up all the dust between them and the sun so that the planets slowly emerge from darkness into the light as described in Genesis verse 3. "Let light come to be." Then there came to be light.

They're really stretching here. Of course they conveniently leave out the "firmament" which separates the rain waters above from the earth/waters below. Which, of course, NASA has discovered doesn't exist. Hell, scientists discovered that it didn't exist hundreds of years before NASA ever existed.

This is nothing more than religion trying to ride on the shirttails of science and trying to prove itself true. It's shoehorning passages of the bible to fit in with modern scientific discoveries. I remember a Muslim on another message board trying to claim that everything in the Koran is true because of some passage which said that "Allah gave man iron from the heavens," and claiming that meteors made of iron fit this verse. When pointed out that most of the iron on our planet came from the planet itself, plus the fact that the earth's core is made of iron, he claimed that the earth forming with iron at it's core comes from the heavens and therefore the Koran passage is still true.

It all smells of desperation.

Ren: Erm, planets suck?

Stimpy: Well, yeah, some think this one does.

Wow. I'd love to meet the guy who wrote this.

[Doubting Thomas]

Ever notice they never make these connections until after scientific discoveries are made?

[reverendjeremiah]

WHAT?!?!


It sounded convincing to me.
