Quote# 29966

Let's look at simple facts: is it really scientific to teach a theory that relies on Random Big Bangs, Chance chemical soup & Trillions of genetic mistakes turning hydrogen into you & i?! 'In the beginning God created the heavens & the earth': a 'round earth', 'hanging on nothing', in 'stretched out' space, where the 'sun circuits the heavens', & everything only reproduces 'After its Kind' - now that's observable science, written down under inspiration some 700 to 2000 yrs ago. What you should be doing is teaching how to think, not what to think.

And when is someone going to teach YOU how to think?

I got as far as Random Big Bangs.

That stuff is observable science to primitive herdsmen. Some of us have advanced beyond that stage.

I don't get it. What are you trying to say?

I'd like a bowl of Chance Chemical Soup, please. With a side of M theory. What the fuck, it's Friday night, right?

Philip, I see you've already met my good friend Observation, I'd like to introduce you to my other friends; Evidence, Mathematics and Technology.

written down under inspiration some 700 to 2000 yrs ago

well, considering that the time of Jesus was approximately 2000 years ago, and that the Jews would claim that they had these writings for many years before that, your argument kills itself here. (although every thing before that part pretty much sucked too).

Anyway, my point is: If you can't keep your stupid retarded fables straight, why should we believe you?

Excuse me, teaching how to think?, believing literarilly what others wrote?

Thats all fundies can handle.

Well, I'm sure there is someone studying educational science somewhere, so I guess it's scientific to someone.

Oh, wait, you meant is the theory scientific, rather than the teaching thereof? The answer is yes: that is why it is taught.

You might have asked a more coherent question if you understood what science is and looked at it a little more than taking fearful glances over your shoulder at it while running in the opposite direction.

Try to think yourself before telling someone else how to think.

Oh look.

Philip Snow, another of those people who plainly got all of their "scientific" knowledge from cornflake packets and Kent Hovind videos.

How do these idiots manage to learn how to use a computer? Is there someone going around with free computer courses for addled fundies, providing them with just enough knowledge to spam the Net for Jeebus?

He's right, we should always believe the oldest written document in existence first! That way, our beliefs don't have to change.

Oh wait. That's stupid.

Yeah, funny thing is, every time we put the bible to the test... it fails.

Strangely enough, many Fundies seem fond of doing the opposite of that last bit: teach what to think, not how to think.
