Talk politics.

Fascinating. Which century are we talking about, again?

From:

Actually creationism's a rather newer idea than people think. The original Thomist position was that if Science and Scripture disagreed Science won out. The irony thus is that people in the 13th Century were more willing to yield the Bible to science than people in the 19th Century (or 21st).

From:

When you're saying "people", do you mean "people in America" or "people around the world"? Because I've yet to see creationism being taken seriously anywhere outside the Bible Belt.

From:

In the United States. It first existed in Europe, after all. The discoverer of the Dinosauria was a relatively famous Creationist. So actually was Lyell.

From:

I know. I'm talking about its prevalence NOW. Well actually I checked through the info and I found out it's even more prevalent in Turkey. Also Islamic Creationism is prominent at the moment, etc. But I'm not sure the US would like to compare itself to the Islamic world. ;-)

From:

Eh, our best bud when it comes to things like gay rights in international law and the Treaty on the Rights of the Child is none other than the Islamic Republic of Iran so I daresay that won't set the hearts of the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice a-flutter. ;P.

From:

Are you sure you're still as neutral regarding the GOP/GNP dichotomy as you used to claim you were? ;-)

From:

GNP?

From:

Sorry, I meant the Democrats.

From:

As a third generation Texan, I protest! Every intelligent Texan knows baby Jesus didn't have a pet dinosaur.

He had a pet mammoth named "Winky".

From:

Boy, I bet it was fun to clean-up after Winky. Several of my cousins are Aggie-grads btw ;)

He was box-trained.

From:

I have a friend that as a paper-trained Iguana ;)

From:

I had a snake once that trained itself to crap all over the inside of its aquarium.

Even with that low level of intelligence, he was a genius compared to the woman who heads the State Board of Education.

From:

OH my. Does she crap all over her aquarium too?

From:

I'm going to have to smother you with your pillow while you sleep... it's the only way to stop the madness. ;)

From:

Especially if young Jesus accidentally did that duplication trick he was later famous for doing with bread and fish.

From:

Correction: multiplication trick...no mere doubling!

From:

I'm sure it was a very Herculean task.

From:

One question I've always wanted to ask creationists is how if all the prehistoric creatures co-existed the sauropods didn't eat everything to extinction. Sauropods in any sufficient numbers would make elephants look like pikers in terms of environmental damage/degradation. And if we're talking the colossi like Amphicoelias fragilimis then it gets into even bigger problems.

Here ya go, sport! (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0055/0055_01.asp)

From:

I now wonder how Jack Chick explains the existence of the atomic bomb if Sub-Atomic particles don't exist and what he considers Hiroshima and Nagasaki to have been.

From:

I'm sure he has a tract on his site somewhere with a strawman of a scientist dealing with that very topic.

From:

See the thing I was getting at was this: If Jesus is holding atoms together instead of the Strong and Weak Nuclear forces, then what does that make atomic bombs? By Fundamentalist logic the Bomb is blowing Jesus up over and over again. So they should be probably the biggest cohort of the anti-nuke crowd, LOL.

From:

Nah, Jesus just lets go on select atoms. America's atomic bombs were divine retribution, and the Soviets' bombs worked just to remind us to dot our Is and cross out Ts.

From:

Atomic bombs happen by making Baby Jesus cry.

Possibly subscribes to the theory outlined in the novel "The Jesus Factor". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jesus_Factor_%28novel%29)

From:

haha the portrait of "our father" in the first panel made me LOL. Our father who art in the trees, delicious be thy Banana.

From:

Hehe ;)

From:

Another is how given that they date the Flood to 2348 BC, it was possible for Pharaoh Teti to have a pyramid built when the entire planet was swamped: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7723477.stm Some global flood that was.

Why Noah didn't take dinosaurs aboard

From:

Actually if he'd brought an Amphicoelias fragilimus on that boat and it was at all in its growth spurt it would have sunk the boat on its weight alone. And that's not even counting the titanosaurids and brachiosaurids, and it only gets worse if one considers the maximum weight estimates.

From:

what started that fire? can dinosaurs breath fire? Or was that the burning bush that a dinosaur tail knocked over?

From:

In Cretinist theology Leviathan was a cross between the Loch Ness Monster and Godzilla. No explanation for the verses referring to its seven heads.

From:

Bwhaha ;)

Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten.

From:

Every time a girl masturbates, God creates a puppy.

Won't anyone think about the puppies?

From:

If they showed Jesus riding dinosaurs more often, I wouldn't have left the church so easily as a child.

From:

I wonder why kids are so fascinated by dinos, I know I was.

From:

Because they are big and scary just like adults.

From:

Or conservative libertarians.

From:

Haha yes well we can only hope that they too will go extinct.
