I've created a satire of Xtian evangelistic arguments, in the form of presentation of evidence for Hellenic paganism -- yes, the Olympian deities.

It's in the attachment.

Not bad, just try saving it in a format that is easier to read. Also, most theistic apologists haven't graduated to that phase where they are talking about cosmological phases: most of them are still faffing about evolution and young earth bullshit.

Great, I'm having trouble getting it to download in a readable form. Can someone post a sample of what I'm missing?

The trick is to right-click on it and save. Then right-click on the icon and open it in word (or whatever word processor you happen to be using).

I happen to agree with Sarpedon: your version contains too much jargon to be anything other than that written by someone with knowledge of Satan's tool, SCIENCE!!!! BWAAAHAAHAA!

er, uh.... sorry. Got carried away there.

And a great tool it is, considering how many credulous skeptics were fooled by evolution hoaxes like Piltdown man for so long. And now we know a few fragments of a flatfaced, monkey-like creature is a missing link between man and ape. Meave Leakey, who hasn't had a find for several years, said so in a scientific journal, and we all know how objective she is. At least it's not a pig we are looking at this time- at least we hope not.

(End Christian satire)

I've created a line-wrapped version; it ought to be easier to read with something like Notepad.

First, I was trying to avoid cluttering the thread by presenting a lengthy message.

Radorth on science:

Radorth does not explain how it was supposed to be self-evident that it was a hoax.

And he is unaware of how the Piltdown finds had actually been received -- some paleoanthropologists had actually been ... skeptical!

And now we know a few fragments of a flatfaced, monkey-like creature is a missing link between man and ape.

I'm not sure what Radorth is talking about.

And I'm surprised that he's not calling evolutionary biology a "triumph of Christianity".
