Haha that may be my future career, thank you very much.
If I heard someone say what these creationists and writing aloud, I would be hard pressed not to give them a vigorous shaking and berating. What level are you operating on when you fall head over heels for a Hovind DVD?? That kind of person is a politician's dream.

Now I blame the victim as much or even more than the perp. Some people are just too stupid to pity. |

Stuff like this is just depressing. It's basically an admission of intellectual laziness, yet they are somehow proud of it.

People are extremely proud of their ignorance. Americans are suspicious of intellectuals. It's disgusting.

Very  I'm a die-hard Creationist who happily admits to your so called 'intellectual laziness' and who is -very- proud of it (considering what you meant by that phrase)  Isn't it amazing though, according to all of you (or at least the evolutionists that I've talked to in the past) we should all be getting smarter, yet even the most brilliant today don't know how they built the pyramids or stonehedge without our fantasic modern equipment.. they're not even sure how the pyramids were built, period! And yet we're all so very intellectual and smart! Survival of the fittest at work, yes indeedy.

This is why I want to be a teacher. We might not know the exact way the Egyptians built a pyrimid, but we can easily build one without modern equipment. All it takes is manpower.
Also, evolution doesn't say we're getting smarter and nothing says that we're born smart. It takes learning (something that you admit you lack) to become smart. |

and it takes no fantastic modern equipment at all

Stupid and proud. Good job.
Here is information regarding the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge. If this site does not satisfy you, several other sites and books are listed at the bottom of the page for further reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge

You know, I read that, and thought, ''Yep, pretty much."
That said, I never actually expected to see this: Originally Posted by AmericanGirl Very I'm a die-hard Creationist who happily admits to your so called 'intellectual laziness' and who is -very- proud of it (considering what you meant by that phrase) Isn't it amazing though, according to all of you (or at least the evolutionists that I've talked to in the past) we should all be getting smarter, yet even the most brilliant today don't know how they built the pyramids or stonehedge without our fantasic modern equipment.. they're not even sure how the pyramids were built, period!

Honestly, I am having more and more of a hard time coming here anymore. Things like the above quote are really starting to affect me. Not in the way that you'd have to worry about me or anything, I'm just saying that in our, near, age of enlightenment, for some it's never happened. There are those whose opinions of current science, and knowledge in some aspects of it, are quite dismal. And for reference, I'm not referring to super-symetery and String Theory. Rather, simple things, like the above. I know I'm not the only one to be taken aback, but I think I am in a smaller group of people to whom this is more than just sad. For me, I almost feel, not quite a duty, but that something should be done.
For me, the above is akin to denying gravity, or atomic structure...
Maybe I'm the only one, and sorry for ranting.  | | |
