Creationists: I'm getting pretty tired of seeing the "from goo to the zoo to you" line that is being used by creationists, ad nauseum, in this forum. Don't you creationists see that this silly strawman only indicates and promotes ignorance? I know you think the phrase is greatly witty, but I assure you that only fellow creationists would think so. My OP title: "On some dried goo, God blew, then you" would be a line to ridicule creationists (but unlike the parrots who use the goo-zoo-you line, I wrote mine). Does my super-simplified, possibly disrespectful one-liner sum up the views you subscribe to? Was your first reaction: "Hey this guy really respects my views, why not engage him in discussion?". I didn't think so. Did you think: "Hey, this guy must be really knowledgable about this subject, let's hear what he has to say?". I didn't think so. So why use the goo-zoo-you line?

In the words of the sporadically appearing horse on Ren & Stimpy: "No sir, I DON'T like it".

There's got to be better ways to discuss things than make not so nice comments toward one another.

What's wrong with that? That's double-rep-worthy!

What is, looking at the FAQ?
I tend to be a pretty nice person when I debate. Wish others were the same. |
