I'm sure many (or most) of you have already seen this, but it's worth posting anyways. Very convincing.
Enjoy. |

That so many non-Christians have seen this and thought things like "You have to be this stupid to join a church? No thanks." is a depressing thought indeed, even a nightmare.
What is worse is the lack of people standing up and saying that this video is stupid from the Christian side. Just because this man is a Christian does not mean we have to let this kind of stupidity go unchallenged.
Again, it is a nightmare that this level of ignorance and stupidity is what the Christan Church is being represented by and accepting. |

After defending Theistic evolution against Creationists for weeks now with strong scientific arguments I can honestly say that I would never use that video in an argument or in any way. |

So it IS the atheist's nightmare, just not quite in the way that he wanted it to be.

I've seen Kirk Cameron and this guy before several times. I happened to have seen these two talk to people about God on the street with better success.
My suggestion is they stick with that, but as soon as they get into challenging evolution and debating they just fall flat and don't do well for Christians.
I saw them one time debate atheists and it was embarrassing. People just have a special forte but these two keep on going there when they shouldn't. It's not their strength.
How about all the fruit that isn't especially conforming to human beings? But, that's a given. All this explains is why people like bananas . . . Thank God for them, but that's all it does.

Haha.. Yeah.. I definitely agree with you. There's no need to stretch the idea of theistic evolution. This is no where close to an atheist's worst nightmare, because it was one of the most pathetic arguments for theistic anything that I've seen. There are so many holes in that it's not even funny. Honestly, if a non-believer saw that video they would think, "Wow, this guy has absolutely NO concept of natural selection."  | | |
