Two creationists take a Commercial flight

[Split Rock]

AV1611VET: How do we know that the flight crew knows how to fly this plane?

Flight Attendant: They are trained experts and have been doing this for many years.

Dad: All because they are so-called experts doesn’t mean they can ignore God’s Word.

Flight Attendant: What does God’s Word have to do with flying an airplane?

AV1611VET: I use my Boolean Standards to show that flying is against The Inerrant Word of God and The Documentation.

Flight Attendant: Are you talking about The Bible? Where does The Bible say that?

AV1611VET: “Thinking themselves to be wise they became fools.”

Flight Attendant: What does that have to do with flying?

AV1611VET: Homo sapiens means “Wise Man,” doesn’t it? Since the flight crew are Wise Men they are really fools and God will show them they are fools by crashing the plane.

Flight Attendant: What???

Dad: How do these Ivory Tower so-called experts know they can fly this plane between here and the destination? What if the atmosphere between here and the destination is in a different state?

Flight Attendant: Different State?? What do you mean??

Dad: A different state…. Like it was before “The Split.”

Flight Attendant: What “Split?”

Dad: During the time of Peleg. To think differently, is anti-Bible hogwash and a fantasy!

Flight Attendant: What are you talking about?

Dad: You cannot prove that the space-time state between here and there is not different can you?

Flight Attendant: No, but we have never had any problem flying this route before..

Dad: Ha! You just ASSUME there is no difference now, because you assume the past is the key to the present. That is an Anti-God Lie, and thinking only within the box.. I refuse to accept it!!!

Flight Attendant Please, both of you take your seats!

AV1611VET: You just can’t wait to ridicule me, even though I accept 95% of your “science!”

Dad: I just discovered that human flight is impossible! Amazing!!

Flight Attendant: Please, take your seats so we can take off! I promise it is safe!

AV1611VET: Oh yeah.. just like Thalidomide was a Wonder Drug… before it was Plutoed!

Flight Attendant: Thalidomide?

AV1611VET: Sure, Thaldomide proves that your “science” changes with the flavor of the week!

Dad: Prove with your so called science that the state between here and there is the same! You can’t!!!! Human flight is an anti-Bible lie! Amazing!

Flight Attendant: Get off this plane!!!

-- I laughed all through this!

Thanks for making my day! --

Check your reps; and I'm afraid to ask, but what's the in-flight movie?

LOL! Glad you enjoyed it! I was hoping you would take it with good humor.

Here is the in flight movie:
YouTube - Charles Darwin and the tree of life (SUB ENG) - part 1

-- Well, I asked, didn't I?

 

[Delphiki]

I think it should be Saved!

 

[rockaction]

Lol, lovely thread

 

[AV1611VET]

Lol, lovely thread

Ya -- that's pretty good.

One of the better ones here.

I still get a chuckle out of it!

 

[knowledgeIsPower]

Wow thanks Split Rock I haven't laughed like that in a long time.

I did have a serious point to make as well. You talk about "walking by faith" instead of "by sight." Yet, when it comes to practical matters.. like flying on as airplane, or crossing the street, you guys all go the "sight" route. Can you tell us why that is?

I hope you're joking.

What do you think God gave us eyes for?

So we could deny Him?

Faith has it's place in the world, and so does eyesight.

When the two conflict, I don't stand there cross-eyed, I go one way or the other.

It's a Boolean thing --

Then why don't you accept all science? Evolution is useful in modern medicine, much like airplanes are useful in modern transportation. Why are you cool with "sight" for airplanes, but not evolution? And by "sight", I'm assuming you mean empirically-derived data, observation, and experiment (science). I mean, if God gave us this empirical sight, why would it ever conflict with faith?

It conflicts with the Bible.

This means that the same standards I use to accept your science, also tells me to reject it.

So if you simply feel uncomfortable with bits of science based on your interpretation of the Bible, the science is wrong? Why not re-shape your interpretation of the Bible? And use your "sight" as a method of spiritual maturity to constantly refine your understand God and the Bible?

So I can end up like you guys? no, thanks.

 

[rockaction]

You don't have to be an atheist. The majority of people that accept evolution are Christians.

By the way, I am living a good life. Accepting evolution doesn't ruin your life or make you a bad person. My views on science have very little to do with my atheism.

 

[Cabal]

Humour aside, this does show up the inconsistency of most creationists.

It's the point about accepting forensics but rejecting evolution all over again.

 

[AV1611VET]

It's the point about accepting forensics but rejecting evolution all over again.

We don't live on a one-way street.

 

[Split Rock]

It conflicts with the Bible.

Here we go again. It conflicts with your fallible interpretation of the Bible. Why do you always leave that part out??

This means that the same standards I use to accept your science, also tells me to reject it.

No, the accept position is only a default. If you don't have any personal issues with the science, then you accept it. Otherwise, you reject it out of hand. The problem is, science is an intergrated system of understanding and your "standards" leave you with an flawed understanding of the universe around you. Only because you refuse to re-evaluate your own understanding of the scriptures.

 

[AV1611VET]

This still makes me chuckle!

You can actually build an airplane. NO one has ever gotten evolution to work in the lab. Look at the fruit fly. You start with a fruit fly, you end up with a fruit fly. Unless you think a fly with a leg growing out of his head is useful.
