Recently, I saw a creationist claim that the existence of Tyrannosaurus Rex was disproven, but this was being covered up by a scientific conspiracy.

What's the wildest claim a creationist has ever told you?

And there's no fusion going on in the Sun's core, it just looks as if there is?

The first thing I was told about creationism still sticks with me (I was a brand new immigrant and these were my first Bible-belt fundies) - that creationism must be true because the pastor says so, whereas in order to believe evolution you have to be able to read. I really, really, very badly wanted to get on the next plane back to England.

you know, if all these creationist claims are true, it means only one thing: God is fucking with us. God is deliberately lying to us, hoping to weed out the rational and logical humans, so that only the blindly loyal who don't use the brains He gave us get into heaven.

maybe it wasn't pride that caused the downfall of lucifer; maybe the morningstar simply opened his eyes and saw what a hypocrite his God was.

happyboy, glad stars don'thave fusion going on in their cores

Argument out of war
(1) The Islamic cultures are being fought all over the world.
(2) There is war against every Islamic country
(3) From (1) and (2) the rest of the world fears Islam and trying to destroy it.
(4) Islam can has such feared power only if it is the true faith.
(5) Therefore Islam is the right faith and they know it

No, no, no. The Qu'ran was very liberal with women rights in its time. Therefore it isn't oppressing women now.

LOL

what woman-hating man wouldn't love islam? it preaches the unquestioned supremacy of men over women, it preaches the right of men to abuse and oppress women, AND it promises an endless sexual orgy with perpetually virgin sex slaves in heaven! (and you can finally get drunk in heaven, too!)

in fact, i think those seven houri each muslim man is promised in heaven is the sole reason they're so fanatically devout. sex is the motivater for the muslim world: the promise of fantastically orgasmic sex for all eternity! what man doesn't like getting laid?

happyboy, glad to know the secret behind islam's success in the middle east

Which T-rex? Haven't their been hundreds discovered (I mean planted)?

I have a couple of friends studying dino fossils in montana with Jack Horner, and they went to digs. I guess they were in on the conspiracy too - pretty amazing!

I was thinking about this wild claim yesterday. I know how creationists are afraid to accept science because it means their Babble is wrong here and there. But - wouldn't they be more afraid to live in a world where there are evil scientists in every country fabricating information about astronomy, evolution, genetics, etc etc?
