Nothing quite as rewarding as a good hearted discussion. Can't you just feel the love? Lets review;
If you say again that I as an evolutionist have any religion other than Christianity you will hear about it.
Threat If you disagree with the implications of anything I say, No matter how outside of scripture they are I will threaten you with who knows what manner of retaliation.
Word to the wise - for goodness' sake learn to spell and punctuate.
Criticize If I run out of legitimate discourse or just have none, I will criticize you for unrelated shortcomings. It helps me in making you look ignorant and bolsters my superiority.
To help you out, I've bolded the errors in that one sentence.
You might then have a chance of coming across as having some intellectual credibility.
condescension By doing so I illustrate how stupid you really are and how smart I really am.
Amazing that it's always the conservatives who whinge about declining standards of English in the state schools, isn't it?
Association Lets try and discredit you by association. All this is so relevant to the original proposition about the the moon though. Right?
Do you get the message that you have really p!$$ed me off here?
Anger A cousin to ThreatDo I need to elaborate?
And I say that until you disentangle "Freedom 777's Literal Interpretation Of The Bible" from "The Bible" your chance of understanding any real science is zilch.
More Condescention Dont you see? Unless you agree with me, you are incapable of understanding "real science". I will define the paramaters of "real science". If you fall outside of these parameters you are ignorant.
What is more, most Creationists even if you take the time to correct them just put their head in the sand and ignore you anyway.
Categorized bigotry I took a poll of all the creationists and I can categorically tell you what they all think and do. Try and overlook it though when I define the category that I place myself in like this:If you look at the first quote in my signature, you see that Christians came to exactly the opposite viewpoint you hold over 25 years before Darwin published Origin of the Species. or like thisHave you got the results of a survey of the beliefs of all scientists to give us, for instance? Or have you asked them all personally yourself? (There's a few hundred thousand around the world, by the way, so you'll have a job on.) Don't make assumptions; they only lead to prejudice. Also I should ask that you overlook the inference that you do not belong to my category, to wit Christians
Well, perhaps this is just an isolated example. Lets see if there are any other famous quotes on this forum. Ah yes, more loving discourse.
I don't attack peoples character except when it comes to their monstrous ignorance.
Also, since they are such an easily ignored, laughed at minority - what does it really matter.
What is as bad is people swallowing their nonsense because it happens to agree with some pre-conceived medieval world view. I believe you fall into this category.
Again you are making a PATHETIC appeal
When are you armchair Creationists ever going to realise how STUPID these idiots are?
When are you going to get your science from people who know what they are doing as opposed to idiots who do not?
But I see you are too limited to even get out your calculator and check the other numbers.
Lazy lazy.
More Creationist silliness
There is seriously something lacking with you,
It's very simple. Don't worry, another 50 or so repititions to you and you might even get it.
So, why are you, an atheist, pretending to be Christian?
It's all ****.
Since I know you were not born on Antarctica, where you might not meet anyone of any Christian group, where have you been?
You just don't know any science and have no clue what you are stating.
I kind of feel sorry for you really!
If he's studying biology and geology at university he's got better things to do than read a load of thinly-veiled fundamentalist propaganda masquerading as science.
Or you could always read a few Jack Chick comics. About as reliable as anything any "creationist" ever wrote
it is so very easy to ridicule Creationists since their positions are invariably ill thought out charicatures of science that seldom pass even a cursory inspection.
I am unfamiliar with a single example of a Creationist who is a scientist worth his intellectual salt.
Almost to a man (or woman) they are worthless as scientists. Pretty much none of them are active researching scientists - they are usually people who left science once they left school or they don't have science qualifications to begin with - many of them are MD's or engineers wh usually would not know a scientific argument if it walked up and smacked them over the head.
They only people they fool with their pseudo-scientific nonsense are lay people who are impressed with a few buzz words and wouldn't know science from a stick of chewing gum.
If you do know science (even at an undergraduate level) their bs is easily recognised for what it is - bs.
Of all the so called Creation scientists I can think of very few that are in true scientific disciplines (biology, geology, astronomy) that directly impinge on the key Creation issues. And even these are people working in obscure backwater areas and institutions - not top of the line world class research institutions. Obscure Bible colleges don't count.
What is even more interesting is that several of these individuals publish work where they even use standard astronomical/geological time scales.
Is this false witness OR are they just making a buck of eager (easily conned) fundamentalists - LOL!
your average adavanced undergrad knows more general relativity than this clown.
What a joke of monumental intellectual stupidity.
in reality they are a bunch of idiots who could not conduct a scientific research program if their lives depended on it.
This is an excellent example of either lying or ignorance
Heck do you even know any science whatsoever?
All in all - pathetic!
Well now that was enlightening. Maybe we can get a slot on Jerry Springer.
I have been considering posting a question that I would sincerely appreciate the theistic evolutionists point of view on. I have seen some well mannered debate here but hmmmm.
