Of course, I’m willing to accept an old age and common descent and all that for purposes of conversation, but when it comes down to what I actually believe, I’m betting on Genesis."
The Bible thumpers have people so scared of going to hell that they disbelieve what they know is correct in the hopes that they will go to heaven.
At least that's what I get out of this guys post. |
Oh, there's an even better example. Or worse. One of those. Anyway, I give unto thee Janice: | Quote |
That the earth is young is something I take on faith because I know the evidence for it isn’t strong. Certainly, it’s nowhere near as strong as the evidence for design and the evidence that macro-evolutionary theory is incorrect. But I don’t see that the evidence for an old earth is strong either. One of us has missed something. If it’s me I don’t think that will cause me any major problems and I’m not willing to say that, if it’s you, it will cause you any major problems either. Maybe it will. Maybe it won’t. I don’t know. There are lots of things I don’t know.

Well, she got that last bit dead right. Atom dug it, at least (for some reason known only to him). I'm kinda suspicious of Janice though. Clivebaby should haul her in for questioning.
And then there's the Dr. Dr. hisself, earlier in the thread: | Quote | As I note in THE END OF CHRISTIANITY, I would be a young-earth creationist in a heart-beat if I didn’t see the evidence for an old earth as so strong.
The young-earth old-earth debate, however, is only about 20 percent of the book.

Alternate Dembski: I totally still like you guys!!!! Some of my best friends are YECs. Srsly....so buy my book! At Amazon!
Plus there's the fact that fucking Bevets inspired that reply. I guess somebody played the "Summon Bevets" card.
