Link to Facebook video...Hilarious I have some creationists in my extended family. They have hilarious circular logic such as, "The fossil record shows dinosaurs and thorny plants existed at the same time. The Bible says thorns didn't occur on plants until after the fall of Adam. Therefore dinosaurs and people walked the earth at the same time." Yes, these people walk among us. I humored them and went to the Creation Museum in Kentucky. It was a well designed museum with well executed exhibits, fueled by a heavy dose of batshit crazy and denial of science. Don't paint with such a wide brush, please. Strict Darwin supporters sound pretty stupid, too. You are trying to create a false equivalency.

You might end up thinking the "elephants" are just poor drawings of pigs. Same thing with this damned carving. Without a reference, saying "it looks like a stegosaurus" is not an accurate statement. Sure, it may be construed to be a stegosaurus, but only because it barely resembles one due to spikes, and literally nothing else. |

"The fossil record shows dinosaurs and thorny plants existed at the same time. The Bible says thorns didn't occur on plants until after the fall of Adam. Therefore dinosaurs and people walked the earth at the same time."
That isnt circular logic. It's a logical and reasonable point. The conclusion(3rd statement) is valid given the two previous statements. Now, if you dont believe the Bible, then sure it is an irrational statement, but not circular. |

Make it a silhouette carved in a rock wall. There is no way you'd be able to guess what it is. Or at least be able to guess with any level of confidence. |

God created evolution... so Darwin's doing little more than recognizing a tiny aspect of God's work. Not impressive... on Darwin's part.

Of course, that ignores the reality that 1)evolution occurred and there is overwhelming evidence for it, and 2)most people who accept the reality that evolution occurs also believe in the Christian God. The overwhelming evidence you speak of is base on conclusions and myths that man came up with. There is absolutely no factual evidence. They can believe in God but do they know Him. The Bible says even the demons believe but they place no faith and trust in Him. Satan himself believes, after all God threw him out. Now he is trying to take as many as possible to the eternal damnation that he knows is his future. I'm not sure how someone with any logic or common sense could come to the conclusion that there was a big boom to start it all off and then all of the order and perfection of not just the Earth but the heavens could just fall into place. That takes way more faith and I guess delusion than believing in a Creator. One day everyone will KNOW the truth. Some to eternity with God and some to an eternity of suffering and separation from the God who loved them and gave them every opportunity to accept His Son. |

Hilarious, how dare they have faith in God when they are supposed to have faith in magical evolution. The Bible hasn't changed in 2000 years, but every single day some scientific theory is proven wrong and replaced.
If you could have an account in a bank that has been open for 2000 years, or one that goes out of business and changes names every few days, which would you pick? Why anyone would gamble with an eternity of feeling literal torture in hell, is beyond me. EVEN if the atheists were somehow right and there is nothing after death, there are still very good reasons to be opposed to evolution. How many of the people selling fetuses at planned parenthood are evolutionists you think (hint: ALL OF THEM). |
