Religion Why people laugh at Creationists - Page 2

Dave Lane · 09:56 AM

Taking a lead from Killer Clown I thought I'd create a alternative thread to post some videos I like...

[EDIT New video here]

So on with the show:

Here's the Kent Hovind Theory:

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

Dave, I am all for making fun of creationists... but these videos are beyond retarded. They look and sound like they were made by an idiot 12 year old.

Those of us who are on the side of science, formally ask you to stop making us look bad.

I agree, one requires a heart, the other requires a brain...not mutually exclusive.

Did you watch the non cartoon ones? I think the cartoon ones are so campy they are actually funny anyway. And after the drivel Killer Clown posted much deserved.

No, just the stupid cartoon ones. And yes the videos in the other thread were so mind numbingly stupid I just assumed they were a joke.

I believe all religions as we know them were dreamed up by humans to explain why things are. They are equal in that they can't really complete that task. I think they are just ways for humans to cope in getting through this 'life'.

I believe in the big bang too. My view of creationism, what we are, what we see, what we live, came from something smarter than us. It's like we could be an experiment in a petri dish. It doesn't mean a higher being cares if we kill each other or even know we exist.

One thing no scientist can explain exactly is what would replace the universe if it didn't exist. Everything we know can be measured in physical elements. What if it was gone? What would take it's place? What would there be if the universe didn't exist?

My view of creationism is it pre-dates the big bang. The bb was just a reaction created by something/someone that made it happen.

I know what you're going to say but I haven't toked up in years.

The universe is at least 986 billion years older than physicists thought and is probably much older still, according to a radical new theory.

The revolutionary study suggests that time did not begin with the big bang 14 billion years ago. This mammoth explosion which created all the matter we see around us, was just the most recent of many.

The standard big bang theory says the universe began with a massive explosion, but the new theory suggests it is a cyclic event that consists of repeating big bangs.

"People have inferred that time began then, but there really wasn't any reason for that inference," said Neil Turok, a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge, "What we are proposing is very radical. It's saying there was time before the big bang."

Under his theory, published today in the journal Science with Paul Steinhardt at Princeton University in New Jersey, the universe must be at least a trillion years old with many big bangs happening before our own.

Thanks for the effort but that doesn't answer my question.

We can identify/measure any element in the universe, so far as discovered. We understand the building blocks to what we physically see and interact with.

If all that was gone, what would it physically be replaced with? To me it is impossible something higher than us didn't design the conditions we interact with.
