Creationism in mainstream news?
Found this link:
http://www.visionforum.com/download/...asp?size=large Great, they found a dinosaur! Now where exactly was their evidence that anything they mention is true? |

I thought the kid was a nice touch. "Explaining the simplicity of evolution: a dinosaur is just a lizard that grew too big."
So THAT'S where we've been deluding ourselves. |

I have a large print-out of such an article; it is so profound(ly stupid) that I have it pasted to my wall. I especially the drawing of the dinosaur (an appatosaurus I believe), it looks exactly like the pictures in kid's books. (obviously... if you can draw a dinosaur, it is proof that you actually saw one). I also like the clever anecdotes that are laced throughout the piece, things like "our nice christian roadways back home..." and the like. In the article, they also have a real photo - proof that the earth is really only 6K years old. (its a fuzzy picture that kind of looks like a small portion of a snake-leather boot/purse.) I think that christian scientists really know how to spend their time. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
The article aforementioned can be found here: dinosaur expedition Happy huntin' (literally, too) - -Z. |

ha ha.
"Photographic proof at last! Johnny had come through for us! Here is the first ever photo of a living, breathing, charging dinosaur. Admittedly, it's not the clearest picture in the world, but it demands further investigation by even the staunchest skeptic." that is the single least-clear photograph i've ever seen on the internet. |

My question for these christian 'scientists' is: Why do they make up the things that they do? It is quite obvious that these guy just let the crap fly out their mouth and have no moral concerns for anything at all. I also want to know their secret: they sit around all day driving their large SUVs and living in huge estates, and they do nothing. They go out on fun excursions to africa and the like, and they earn money doing it. It is really quite impressive when you think about it; they are VERY successful people, even if they should be flogged to death. What a waste of oxygen. However, I really would like their job. (or at least their money )

Indeed, it seems like the strongest 'evidence' they have is that THEY were the ones who found the fossil.
I also dug the man's comment about how the teaching of evolution is so 'one-sided;' as though these home-schooled children are getting all the facts in a well-rounded scientific education. |
