Nah, I think I'll keep my tinfoil hat on. (you do know that JFK was assasinated, don't you?)

While you're at it though, what other conspiracy theories do you wish to debunk or ridicule?

Yes, JFK was assassinated, but his assailant was not Richard Nixon, the CIA, or the Canadian Mafia, as some would lead you to believe.

So, speaking of creationists, what other conspiracies about/in the Bible are you aware of?

hmmmmmmm.... google says this is the only occurrence... mind elucidating us as to what these "many times" mean... in your life?

Mind you, I think you're right in trying to debunk the creationists... but they are one stubborn folk.

He has something to say, I want to hear it... I know of at least three conspiracies that are in the Bible that are about the Bible.

Well, how about you create a new thread exposing those?
I was under the impression that this thread was about exposing the creationist agenda/propaganda... like it says in the title.

My borrowed line > "From the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment (a period of well over two centuries) to today (or ever), a non-living piece of matter (or conglomeration of matter) has never once created an organism. If you have evidence of this, please bring it forward."

Really? I'm a creationist, but not a "Young Earth Creationist".
So which propaganda is he exposing? I have no dispute with evolution, just the origin of life. His entire premise is a strawman... Undecided

He's not arguing the origin of life though, is he? No, he's attacking creationism with his opening line...
"Creationism, as all rational human beings know, is a global scam just like Scientology or the dumb conspiracy theories about John Kennedy's assassination"

Exactly, and to attack a YEC, you use the Bible, right?
I'll start with one that attacks directly their "rationalization" of how they come up with the 6,000 year figure...

1 Timothy 1:3-5 (NIV)

3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
