Quote# 87209

With young people having gray hair with increasing frequency, this does suggest that the slope of man's developmental path is a much sharper incline (downward) than Old Earth believers claim.

["I am going to suggest you present some credible references." ]

Your request for references is unpersuasive, as evidence is abundant in daily life. Would anyone ask Jesus for a reference after telling the parable of the Prodigal Son?

YES, DAMMIT! Without credible sources, a story becomes utter bullshit! Unless it's a metaphorical tale, or a fable. Which is what a parable IS.

"I mean, the whole "the evidence is all around"(rephrased as the physical world is evidence for god) is the kind of logic we should expect from preschoolers, not grownups with high school degrees."

Or especially grownups with a degree in electrical engineering from Princeton and a law degree from Harvard.

I'm going to Otakon this July. I'll report back to you on the number of silver and white-haired young people I see.

What really gets me about Andrew Schlafly (who claims to be a Catholic, a faith in which we are at least supposed to use the brains God gave us):

Is that he believes in Young Earth Creationism in the face of overwhelming evidence against it because the infallible Bible says so, and then at the same time wants to edit out the bits of the Bible he doesn't like.

If he ever gets divorced his wife's lawyer will really shaft him.

It's merely a matter of perspective. All else being equal, as Andy ages, people look younger to him than their real ages would indicate. I suppose it's inevitable, given Andy's stature as an eternally pubescent snotnose kid.

No Andy they wouldn't ask Jesus for references. What they would do is ask for any references that Jesus existed though.

With young people having gray hair with increasing frequency, this does suggest that the slope of man's developmental path is a much sharper incline (downward) than Old Earth believers claim.


Except that you haven't bothered to examine other possible reasons for a greater (perceived) frequency of greying hair in the population and ruled them out.

Your request for references is unpersuasive, as evidence is abundant in daily life.

Your "evidence" doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

Would anyone ask Jesus for a reference after telling the parable of the Prodigal Son?

1) Are you seriously comparing yourself to Jesus now?

2) Since the concept of "unimpeachable authority" does not exist in science--which requires *some form of experimental verification to unequivocally accept something--yes, I would.

3) Do you actually understand the difference between a "parable" and a "scientific theory?"

Andy is on the verge of pulling a whiterider & declaring himself Jesus (just like wr declared himself King David).

I wonder how many of his followers will continue supporting him, then.
The suspense is terrible. I hope it lasts.

I tried to submit this one earlier, but I saw Night Jaguar had beaten me to it and it was already sitting in the buffer. Darn!

Andrew Schlafly, you are not Jesus. Don't act like it. (Or rather, do act like it, and be nice to people.)

This guy has to be the most clever troll in existence, I wouldn't be surprised if Andy and the guys who invented Landover Baptist are all buddies and laughing their asses off right now...

Andy, when you were little, did your mother let you play spaceman with a plastic bag for a pretend helmet?

Please show me a large sample of young people from 100 years ago along with an equal, randomly selected sample of current young people. I will do a survey.

What? No young people from 100 years ago are available? I thought everything was possible with God. Are you saying God can't produce young people from 100 years ago? That's a shame. It seemed like your best hope.

Yes, I would ask Jesus for references concerning much of what he is supposed to have said.

Yes, yes they would.

So Schlafly considers himself and his friends "young," sees that some of them are going gray, and assumes that means that young people get gray hair with increasing frequency.

Although I don't know of any young people with naturally gray hair, I did once meet a 19-year-old man with male-pattern baldness.

Therefore, God ... or something, I guess.

Apparently Mama Fly must've bribed the folks from Harvard.

Do not discourage Andy Shitfly from thinking he is Jesus -- encourage it.

Hopefully he will carry that far enough to get him locked up where he belongs.

Andy, you remind me so much of our Lord and Savior. Such uncanny similarities.

Andy!!! You really are Him!! Go ahead and tell the world who you really are!

People getting grey hair younger and younger, therefore...

Earth getting younger and younger?
Humanity is degenerating?
More young people are exposed to Andy Schlafly?

Well, the second and third could probably be connected...

I swear you could just take everything on Conservapedia and relabel it Fundies/Conspiracy Theorists/Racists Say the Darndest Things. Or maybe 'Crackpot Schlafly Says the Dumbest Fucking Things'.

No they wouldn't ask Jesus that, because a parable is a fictional story, not a scientific claim >.>

Okay, now we're just a few steps away from Schafly claiming he's God.
