The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part Deux)

RE: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part Deux)
Vinnie G, or something like that. He was a pretty funny guy if you played along and didn't take him seriously.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I agree he had his moments on other matters but fake atheism typically falls flat. Before you parody anything, you have to know the subject. I know scripture and I know what apologists argue. When you have misconceptions about what atheism is (particularly important is realizing it describes what someone isn't rather than what someone is) your parody is going to fail.

™: True Christian is a Trademark of the Landover Baptist Church. I have no affiliation with this fine group of True Christians ™ because I can't afford their tithing requirements but would like to be. Maybe someday the Lord will bless me with enough riches that I am able to.
