Physics didn't take a hike, brains took a hike.
Poor combustion theory had to take a back seat when God got involved.

"Reality is that thing that doesn't go away when you stop believing in it."
That is correct.

You should know that firsthand, shouldn't you?

Didn't you claim at one time that reality consisted of the spiritual realm?

Since your deconversion, has anything (except you) changed?

I am amazed that the Ark attracts so much attention by unbelievers who attack and mock ken ham. Why unless they just go out of their way to show their disbelief. I don't go to R rated movies and attack how bad the language was. I stay from things I know I will disagree with or hate. These people love to mock and find fault, I guess nothing better to do, Have a Gods day.

Because it's such utter nonsense, and pretty pathetic, but most issues stem from it being exempt from laws that everyone else has to obey, gets tax breaks, and so on, while spreading lies.

It's a fake, a theme park attraction.

Which is not what it claims to be. It claims to be an interpretation of a vessel that actually existed, set up to be entertaining and educational for children and adults. That's the problem. No one would care if someone decided to set up a licensed attraction using the arks from the movie 2012 as rides. People would begin to care if they started claiming that it was a dramatization of the real year 2012 (although confused amusement would probably be the reaction in that particular case).

The one thing we know about Ken Ham and his Creationist crew is that they’re awful when it comes to dealing with large numbers."

And the one thing we know about the insecure Atheist is they are awful when it comes to pointing out the Christians short comings.

Big deal...must have been a slow day for you. :rolleyes:

If they had the courage of their convictions they would have built a real sea-going version using bronze-age boatbuilding techniques to prove that it would have actually worked.

Without some bronze-age bilge pumps, I can tell you exactly how that would have ended.

That would have failed and the myth would have been blown out of the water once and for all, they couldn't have that, where would their money come from if people stopped believing the ridiculous?

People would race to buy a prenatal wonder drug.

People would race to have Y2K bugs fixed.

People would sue scientists for believing they could go back home safely.

People would have their pockets picked by the government to build radiotelescope arrays to listen for a HELLO from outer space.

People would buy such periodicals as Scientific American and Popular Science to see the latest advancements in science.

Scientists can generate money if they want to.

Just convince the general public we are about to go extinct if we don't change something we're doing.

I think the term is called: crisis management.

Would a 150 day flood cause the ground to break up and geysers of water shooting up into the air?


I find it very, very hard to dialogue with some one who has been so indoctrinated into evolution, they have more faith to believe that religion than I have.

The Devil truly is a master deceiver.

... no. Just no. You really have a seriously deluded imagination for anything to do with science.

I was talking about the con men fooling people out of their money but you wanted to go in a different direction?
People would race to buy a prenatal wonder drug.
I think pregnant women were prescribed it in good faith.
People would race to have Y2K bugs fixed.
Because no one knew for sure what would happen, we can all be wise after the event.
People would sue scientists for believing they could go back home safely.
I don't understand this one.
People would have their pockets picked by the government to build radiotelescope arrays to listen for a HELLO from outer space.
They were looking for signs of intelligent life in the cosmos.
People would buy such periodicals as Scientific American and Popular Science to see the latest advancements in science.
One must try and keep up with the latest developments.

I don't understand this one.

AV is referring to earthquake in L'Aquila earthquake in Italy in 2009, and somehow blaming scientists for the fact that the Italian government said that it was all right for people to go back after a previous earthquake rendered many of the buildings dangerous.
Yes, he is just that crass.

I don't think any christian has a problem with "science" so I wish you guys would stop hiding behind that term and making it appear we disagree with science when we only disagree with those who try to disrupt Christian beliefs while pretending science backs them up.

It's not the science, it's the people that "use" it as a tool to justify their lies.

So, you're saying those who have "been so indoctrinated into evolution," have more faith than religionists?
