Blind Salamanders
August 30, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Something to stuff up the asses of creationists.

Is your god so stupid he'd create a blind salamander?

http://www.slate.com/id/2195683/

Quote:Vestigial eyes, for example, are clear evidence that these cave salamanders must have had ancestors who were different from them—had eyes, in this case. That is evolution. Why on earth would God create a salamander with vestiges of eyes? If he wanted to create blind salamanders, why not just create blind salamanders? Why give them dummy eyes that don't work and that look as though they were inherited from sighted ancestors?

Young Earth creationists these days don't deny evolution at all (expect for humans). On the contrary advocate extremely accelerated rate of evolution as evidenced in this video.

Call me a sadist, however I do read the Creation Ministries International (CMI), Answers in Genesis (AIG) and the Institute for Creation Research sites. I started looking into them because Christians I know have read materials from CMI and AIG to help them argue young earth creationism.

Oh, you're definitely a sadist, I used to scour their sites too, ICR especially, it's painful yet entertaining.
