Creationist vs Scientist Live Debate

[Parks]

I actually found it quite interesting to listen to. Ham probably did about the best job of anyone I have heard trying to explain his point of view.

Unfortunately it's all underpinned by a mystical being who created everything in 6 days.

It seems like the creationism science is all to do with coming up with semi plausible reasons the evolution science isn't right.

Either way, it was 100% better to listen to than some of the anti-gay bible debates I have heard.

Yes I found at the start it was a fairly well put argument with the odd sprinkle of crazy slipping through.
Still not convincing as a whole but he had some reasonable questions.

He is correct, none of us were there when these events were happening, its all based on current understanding, we thought the speed of light was constant, pluto was a planet when I was at school.

Thats only because there where no gay people back then. .....

Is that because they only started choosing to be gay recently?

2.05:20 pretty much crystallizes christian piety and arrogance in full gallop. No one will ever convince him.

Fair enough. How could the work of ********* like Stephen Hawkings, Prof Laurence Krauss, Prof Richard Dawkins, Charles Darwin and their numerous esteemed ilk ever hope to compete with the first century wisdom of a burning bush..

Bloody scientist....spending all those years working out how the universe worked and how old fossils are...all they had to do was read a 2000 yr old book of tales then spend the rest of the time brewing beer

I remember quite a few years ago I shattered some girl's world. I was having a conversation with her and it turned out she was a god-botherer. Normally I can't be arsed having a discussion with them but I had nothing better to do.

So the conversation went along these lines:

Me - So you agree that God made us in his image.
Her - Yes, it says so in the bible
Me - So God is capable of lying, murder, coveting his neighbours wife, worshipping false idols, taking his own name in vain, etc, etc.
Her - Well no I don't think that is right.
Me - So the bible is lying then?
Her - No, that's not right. Umm, God put those parts in us to test our faith and commitment.
Me - So God is a raging ******* then to build us with these temptations and vices (which he doesn't have) and then makes up rules which say "oh by the way, don't do those things"
.
.
.
.
Me - "boom, see ya"

I particularly liked the "taking his own name in vain" part. Tickled my funny bone.

I doubt it stu

Wait. So the bible isn't real? But it makes so much sense.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Its real if you believe it

The bible was written by members of a society that would make modern Third World shitheaps like Somalia look like paradise in comparison. About the only thing they can teach us is 101 uses for dried donkey dung.

Quoted for truth
If you'd been walking in the desert for 40 days, you'd hallucinate about a burning bush too!

Luckily for me, I only have a hand full of these nut jobs in my family tree. I take joy in letting them handle my stony, stony-iron, chondrite and tektite collection.

Now thats the version that should be taught in schools.
