Creationist Dumbth

And there are unicorns and dinosaurs in the Bible.  I guess they just missed the Ark.

One more reason why it's so important to keep their influence out of public schools. 

Nessie is a dinosaur; right?

=================

Really you idiot? And just who did you "submit" and just how would she call? I'd say she has her hands full with you. BTW, you need to get off the forum and go see if they can fix your botched surgery. Make up your mind rram, are you a woman or a man??

=============

 Just a bit more. Come on, you can do it.

......and poor crust, knows very little about navigation through the real world and is at constant odds with God trying to adjust his public opinion to be included in every novel approach the atheists come up with while they blaspheme. He certainly has not found himself on this forum. Maybe he will emerge with a ticket to ride come judgement day.

This is so sad. Young minds being polluted with this none sense. I can't believe the idiot creationist have not gotten this kind voucher system here in Alabama. I'm sure they are working on it right now. Apparently they really want their children to be as backwards and misinformed as possible.

 

Mars Hill will probably profit nicely off of this sort of dumbing down of the religious youth. They have made a fortune for decades here turning children into confused and misinformed young adults. I have met some people who went to school there and not one is a well adjusted and happy adult. They all have issues with marriage/relationships and a need to rebel against society. I think it stems from the many years of suppressing their common sense and making everything that is normal and natural in life a sin.

At least I'm not a schizophrenic wakadoodle who is on here just to yank everyone's chain.

Hi all,

 

Only an avid atheist and his friends could even give credibility to this article.  The young lady author is so biased against the Christian faith -- I have to wonder if she is not Richard Dawkins in drag, or, at least his daughter.

 

I was going to respond; but, reading the article a second time I realize that this is so Dawkinesque that a response would be analogous to not only "spitting into the wind" -- but, more like "spitting into a hurricane."   This is an extremely childish atheist attempt to paint Christianity, Conservative values, and Creationism as evil.   But, then, Satan and his fellows have always attempted, in vain, to do that to the Word of God.

 

When will these poor souls realize that they lost the war over 2000 years ago on the cross  ("It is finished!" John 19:30) -- and, that we now are just going through the clean-up skirmishes before Christ comes back and hands them their atheism lunch in a paper bag.   Of course, that paper bag lunch will be labelled "No Additional Heating Required."  

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Rave on dark. The Mars Hill students are out in the scientific world armed with PhD's and unlike you with your hat turned backward and your pants on the ground.

i heard nessie lived with bigfoot in mt. rushmore!?!?!

So bill, what part of the article do you dispute?

The alleged "dinosaur" brought in from a "Japanese whaling boat" (see NSNS's link, above) is apparently a reference to an incident that happened in 1977 and that is described in the Wikipedia link below:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuiyo-maru_carcass

 

The boat was a trawler, not a whaling boat and while there was speculation that the rotting remains were those of a plesiosaur, the weight of scientific opinion went against that and the scientific consensus was that the carcass was that of a large shark.  End of story.

 

Any textbook that cites this incident as evidence that humans and dinosaurs could have lived together is not to be relied upon.

Why not call your local school board representative and ask him/her about the scientific curriculum  at the local high school?  Ask a high school kid what they're taught about biology.  Ask a biology teacher.

 

And if anything... anything... like this pops up would you let me know? 

 

DF

That's absurd.  That may be your experience with a very small sample set, but it's by no means the rule.  I know quite a few graduates of Mars Hill that are just fine.  Might as well say that everyone who shops at Wal Mart is a dumb redneck, everyone who lives in Florence is afraid to cross the bridge, everyone in Creekwood is rich, everything at Publix is expensive, customers at Panera are all doctors or lawyers.. typical generalization I often see on these forums.

I've been told that your children attended Mars Hill.....How are they doing? LOL

Yes and I have noticed a lack of reading comprehension on these forums too. Obviously you lack that ability or you would have comprehended that I said I have met "some" and those that I have met are all I have to go on. I know about 6 people that graduated from that school and not one of them are well adjusted adults. That is all I have to draw my conclusions on and that is all I claimed to know. Seems odd though that I would have met just the damaged ones though.

Eternity Christian Academy uses the fundamentalist A.C.E. Curriculum to teach students "to see life from God's point of view."

According to the Herald, one textbook, Biology 1099, reads, "Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the 'Loch Ness Monster' in Scotland? 'Nessie' for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur."

Starting in the fall, thousands of schoolchildren will receive publicly funded vouchers to attend private schools, some of which are religious. Religious schools in Louisiana will receive public funding as part of a push from Louisiana's governor, Bobby Jindal, to move millions of tax dollars to cover tuition for private schools, including small bible-based church schools. Money will fund schools that have "bible-based math books" and biology texts that refute evolution.

At Eternity Christian Academy, pastor-turned-principal Marie Carrier says that the her first through eighth-grade students learn at their own pace from Christian workbooks. The beginning science text explains "what God made" on each of the six days of creation. Evolution is not taught.

Carrier said, "We try to stay away from all those things that might confuse our children." She hopes to secure enrollment of 135 voucher students for the 2012-2013 school year. According to the website Salon, the school currently has just 38 students.

Whether this gambit will help move Louisiana from the bottom of math and science rankings in the country is unclear. A 2011 study of how well primary education prepares students for engineering careers had Louisiana third from the bottom, with only West Virginia and Mississippi performing worse.

How old are you 130? What's a tarnation? That pink tube top you are wearing is cutting off the circulation to what's left of your little, pea brain. Get a grip grandpa!

Eye,

 

Proud Mars Hill (Jesus Tech) graduate?

 

DA knows lots of people.  DA is right popular.  DA rules.

 

DF

DF, I've been meaning to speak to you about this matter for some time now. The handful of your accomplices are never confident that what they just have read they said is atall related to the brain f*** they just had previously until some one of the affected chimes in with approval as you just did. That gets on my nerve and I wish you quit with doing it.

DA, keep up the good work, my friend!

Dark, by all means follow the advice of the bouncer yoda.

When the voices in rram's head disagree with each other: 

 

poor rram ... he has yoda and tigger mixed up.

Yoda have ypu forgotten who you are? You're the bald guy remember? You are the one with multiple ID's that's ben kicked off here so many times for impersonating a decent human being.

rram, have you forgotten, you're the forum troll.

be gone, and be done with it, simpleton!

The really sad thing is that these poor Creationist losers cannot accept reality.  It offends their faith in the literal reading of the Bhagavad Gita, er, the Bible.

 

What sort of faith cannot stand revision in the face of facts?  What coward cannot admit when he is wrong?  What belief system depends on lies?

 

The current surge of popularity of Creationism is the final gasp of this fallacious and erroneous fable.  Fact after fact, court decision after court decision, student by student their wall between faith and reality is crumbling.  However, persistence and perseverance is required, lest American society slip backwards beyond the Enlightenment.

 

DF

Are you an atheist missionary? 

What is that supposed to accomplish? 

You believe that when you die, you're dead. 

Why are you trying to recruit others to the same negative, loser mindset? 

Christianity is trying to lead people to a better life.

You're trying to lead them to an eternal grave.

*are* required.

 

 

Doh!

Stuck record

Christianity is trying to lead people to a better life.

---------------------

Better life how? Who decides that someone needs a better life? What if their life is already as good as they want? 

Thanks for recognizing my leadership gift, but in this case, I'm leading no one anywhere.

 

I don't mind giving people reasons to think, however.  So let me give you something to think about, Winston.

 

The offer of Christianity (and other religions) is eternal life.  If it weren't hubristic enough to think that we human animals deserve supernatural relief from death, one must then consider the ramifications of living forever.

 

Imagine the first trillion years.  What can one imagine would not be explained, experienced, felt, tasted after that long?  Now, imagine the next trillion times a trillion years.   We're talking about eternity.

 

The Hindus have something going for them with their idea of Nirvana, the blessed and welcome end of existence.  Christians and Abrahamists have not thought of this.

 

You're welcome.

 

DF

Why do you say that? Help me understand how having a different view on religion and christianity is being a stuck record? Is Bill Gray not a stuck record then? Just stuck on a different groove? 

Exactly. Who decides? I decide. You decide. I don't want someone else deciding what is best for me. Do you?

What is wonderful and awesome for you might be pure misery for me and vice versa. 

So, Christianity is leading us to a better life.  And we dare the end of a gun if we don't accept it.  Ask an abortion doctor.  Ask the Army of God in Africa.

 

Hell, ask any Christian about the threat of Hell if we do not.  Some leadership.

 

DF

Have any people claiming to be Christians threatened you? 

 

If you're content being worms' meat, that's your choice.
