In a creationist church

[AV1611VET]

And now we shall have an introduction to the bell curve.

The Normal Curve


Beautiful, isn't it?

If you like bells, I guess.

 

[laconicstudent]

If you like bells, I guess.

Trust me. You haven't lived until you've calculated an ANOVA with post hoc by hand.

 

[sandwiches]

Oh, sure they do --

You have all of what? 10 out of a couple billion?

10 fossils > 0 evidence of creationism.

I think we're doing pretty good.

 

[sandwiches]

I'm glad that you liked it. The more you think about it, the more common sense it makes.

ROFL
I'm sure it does to you!

 

[AV1611VET]

10 fossils > 0 evidence of creationism.

I think we're doing pretty good.

Unless those fossils are those of diseased persons.

 

[laconicstudent]

Unless those fossils are those of diseased persons.

Yay, an argument from ignorance.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yay, an argument from ignorance.

You mean, kinda like Pluto being argued to be a planet in 1930?

 

[laconicstudent]

You mean, kinda like Pluto being argued to be a planet in 1930?

No, when you say that, it is usually a red herring.

 

[nChrist]

It would be if I wasn't in a science program. As it is it is just ridiculous.

Oh goody, did they show you a half-baked monkey on the way to becoming a human? I'll assume it's a given that we still have monkeys - right?

That so-called science program should have a variety of living specimens for you to view. I'll make a wild leap and assume they didn't show you any live specimens of anything. If they did, please post pictures - I love pictures.

 

[nChrist]

I think that I'll take a tooth from the tooth fairy, draw something wild as a reconstruction of an entire being, and get it peer-reviewed by the so-called science community. By the way, it's a proven fact the the tooth fairy has tons of teeth, and all I need is one. I'll call it science.

You might even get it named after you: Tomasopithecus magnus!

 

[nChrist]

That has a nice ring to it. And just think, it might take them 30 years or more to debunk it, so I could be one of dem peer-reviewed scientific types.

Hey -- it took 76 years to bust Pluto --

This is a very bizarre thread, but not nearly as bizarre as the theory of evolution.

Something I'm curious about: where's all the half-baked monkeys? They do mate, so it's convenient that a male and female evolved at the same time. They're fairly prolific, so there should be large troops of half-baked monkeys everywhere. HUM? - None to be found. If there were any, maybe they would found churches that teach evolution.

NAH! - there is no half-baked monkeys - just a series of hoaxes passed off as half-baked monkeys. Mystery? - why do we still have monkeys but no half-baked monkeys?

I've got it - the theory of evolution is false - an embarrassment to science.

You probably don't realize your arguing against your own ignorance.

The theory of evolution doesn't claim anything you've stated.

 

[Ar Cosc]

This thread has made the world stupider.

 

[KIYX]

This thread has made the world stupider.

That's what creationism does.

 

[Split Rock]

Hey -- it took 76 years to bust Pluto --

How many centuries did it take to bust witch hunting?

 

[nChrist]

This thread has made the world stupider.

I assume your science teacher also taught you English.

 

[laconicstudent]

Oh goody, did they show you a half-baked monkey on the way to becoming a human? I'll assume it's a given that we still have monkeys - right?

No, but I did learn back in high school why that argument by Kent Hovind is blithering nonsense.

That so-called science program should have a variety of living specimens for you to view. I'll make a wild leap and assume they didn't show you any live specimens of anything. If they did, please post pictures - I love pictures.

I really hope this is a joke. Yes, they have live specimens. Here's one.

 

[laconicstudent]

That's what creationism does.

Isn't it funny when they think they are winning when they play with their strawmen?
