How about responding to our posts instead of giving a flippant response that has no substance?
I'm curious to know what about our posts you found so amusing.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That's just dishonest. A number of people have responded, pointing out specific falsehoods in the video, and this is your response?
Have you creationists no integrity or honesty at all?

Maybe it was a nervous laugh, like, "Haha, hehe, I better leave this alone, I don't have any idea what to say."

Then let's discuss the points which were brought up in the video. If "we" are misguided, then the points which were made in it should be able to stand up to some scrutiny, should they not?
Where should we start?

But we've pointed out the specifics of where your video-making friend is mistaken and misguided. We have evidence to back up those assertions.
You've done nothing but giggle. If you consider us misguided, show the specific instances where we have been so misguided, and explain why we are mistaken. If you think you are not misguided, present support for your position.

Yeah, and rather than actually replying to any of the numerous objections, you just laughed. That's pathetic and dishonest.
Like I said, have you creationists got no integrity or honesty at all?

Then what is your point? Why did you post this thread if you don't intend to discuss what you posted?

Yeah, it is dishonest. Post a link to a video you think is a great argument against evolution...when it's systematically demolished and a number of falsehoods in it highlighted, just ignore that and laugh. That's pathetic, intellectually dishonest, and rude.
And it's why we have such a low opinion of creationists.

That's the problem. You don't. You come along and post a ridiculously inane, idiotic video as bait for us and when it is shown to be hopelessly inept you just giggle away, blissfully unaware of the world outside your tiny little corner and how by giggling girlishly at those who try to show you the truth, you're just hammering in one of many nails on rational thinking's coffin.
Wake up.

Aslan,
I ask that you think about your comment here. You may think that the scientists who believe evolution are "misguided" but indeed you must agree that there are many people who understand the subject very well.
If you are sure they are misguided you must defend your stance. Why are they misguided? Clearly the video doesn't stand up to the scrutiny the evolutionists here put it to.
Perhaps the appropriate response is not "you guys are misguided" but rather "I could learn".
I am offended by Christians who don't accept that they might be wrong or uneducated about a topic.
I sure would like to be amazingly so sure of my knowledge that I knew there was nothing I could learn. But experience in life has taught me differently.
I work daily as a scientist and I live the adage that the older I get the less I seem to know.
I will assume that since the best "refutation" you could muster was a poorly done "Kurt Cameron Wannabe" spouting such poor misinterpretations of science that you yourself don't have a significant scientific background. That's OK. Really. Not everyone is meant to be a scientist.
But keep in mind that just because you may have an "opinion" on the topic of evolution does not mean your opinion is "correct", anymore than my desire to have an opinion on quantum electrodynamics (which I so do NOT understand that it would make a physicist laugh). But I don't have the right to expect my opinion to be treated as valid.
I ask that you accept that there are people who understand these things a lot better than you do and not allow yourself to be swayed by a single video or an intense feeling based on the "perceived yuck factor" that so many Creationists play off of when slamming evolution.
Evolution is very important. It isn't playtime "devil" stuff. It isn't a bunch of evil wizards trying to kill god in a clearing in the forest. It isn't a bunch of devil-worshippers trying to damn everyone to hell. Honest. It may be hard to understand this considering what you've probably been taught by your minister. It ain't that thing.
It is a valid and very important aspect of science. It has nothing whatsoever to do with evil.
I would hope you will believe me when I say, for the umpteenth time on this board, I've worked around paleontologists and in my 20+ years in science I've never met one, not ONE who believed evolution so that they could deny God. Not one.
If anyone tells you the vast majority of scientists are doing their job in an effort to deny God in any way laugh in their faces. It is a lie. Scientists are just doing their job to understand the earth and physical reality. No hidden agenda there.

Don't worry, we'll still be here any time you want to discuss it should you ever decide there's anything you can actually defend in that video.

I admit I don't know as much as I could about evolution...Or creationism. I'm sorry for not bringing up my defence on Creation so you can shoot it down. I've tried, on other threads, but I'm both out numbered and out knowleged. I'm not debating becasue I'm tired of fighting a battle I can't seem to win. But I'm still going to be against evolution. you think it has nothing to do with Satan, but that's not true. it has everything to do with Satan, weather or not you choose to believe it. Just look at the results! People are trying to hide God.
