A bit of a laugh "Evidence for Creationism"

High points include "there was ice suspended above the eart" "there was water below the crust" and my fav "the average age before the flood was 900 years old". Oh and near the start when he says "national pornographic" instead of "national geographic"...

I think I preferred this one as a better description of why creation is the better argument. It involves 2 men, a banana... its worksafe but for some reason has me in peels uh, crying in laughter everytime I watch it...

Hats off that is special!

I always laugh at the banana one. He is so completely oblivious that the modern Cavendish banana is the result of centuries of selective breeding. Natural, god-made bananas have huge seeds, arent tasty at all (think plantains), and arent very productive.

The guy giving the lecture (Kent Hovind) is in jail now:

quote:

A newly remorseful Pensacola evangelist, who still disputes the government's right to make him pay taxes, was sentenced Friday afternoon to 10 years in prison on federal tax charges. His wife, Jo, will be sentenced March 1 on charges of evading bank-reporting requirements. Before his sentencing, a tearful Kent Hovind compared his situation to that of the lion and the mouse in Aesop's Fables. "I feel like the mouse," Hovind told U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers. "I stand here in great fear of the power of this court. Your decision can destroy my life, my ministry and my grandchildren." [...] In November, a jury found Kent Hovind guilty on 58 federal counts, including failure to pay $845,000 in employee-related taxes. Jo Hovind was convicted of 44 of the counts that involved evading bank-reporting requirements. Jo Hovind's sentencing was postponed by Rodgers to allow defense and prosecution attorneys to argue sentencing guidelines. Kent Hovind, owner of Creation Science Evangelism and Dinosaur Adventure Land on North Palafox Street in Pensacola, has maintained he owes no taxes because everything he owns belongs to God.

Hahahaha that is class!!!

Someone posted this in COR. Flat earth theory proponents. Equally funny.

Sample FAQ

quote:

Q: "Why doesn't water run off the Earth?" A: There is a vast ice wall that keeps the water where it is. The ice wall is roughly 150ft high. This also explains why you can find a vast plane of ice when you travel south. Antarctica as a continent does not exist. Q: "What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?" A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator, located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions similar to a "spotlight," with the sun radiating "hot light," the moon "cold light." As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions. In the "accelerating upwards" model, the stars, sun and moon are also accelerating upwards. The stars are about as far as San Francisco is from Boston. (3100 miles)

It's so tempting to sign up there and terrorise the natives... but I think they've got enough lunatics there to keep themselves amused without another one.
They probably make you drill out all your teeth too before joining.

I'm a Christian, but creationism irritates me.

One of the best ones I read was that Noah's flood was able to happen because the earth stopped rotating its axis and the water was jogged out of the sea and flooded the land.

Creationists become unstuck - especially when you point out to them that there are TWO creatioon stories in Genesis. Ever realised that before?

I'm unaware of there being two stories... please explain.

First begins at Genesis 1:1, second begins at Genesis 2:4. They're quite easy to distinguish because the first account uses the word "Elohim" (translated in most English bibles as "God") where as the second account, which was actually written hundreds of years earlier, uses the word "YHWH" (translated in most English bibles as "The LORD"). Go see for yourself.

LOL, "that's not science folks" followed by "the Bible says"

And dude, you actaully watched all 156 minutes of it ? You must have been really bored or something.

Ok, I guess it's not 156 minutes even though it so that in the corner. But it was still agonizing to watch. I don't understand how people can be so stupid. That's about all I have to say. And what's even more shocking was the size of the audience and the fact that he was actually keeping their attention.

You caught me mid edit!

I went in to add something about Dragons! ah well

Gather round, there's a free chair over there by the fire. Do you like sugar with your tea? Once you're comfortable I'll tell you a fantastical tale of mystical deletes and magical edits, there might even be a princess in there if you listen closely.


It all started like this...

I was responding to your query as to how much I watched, and what mental state I was in during that viewing. Initially I wrote "I watched the first half or so, and I was that bored ", and I was quite satisfied with that.

If you've watched the first half then you'll remember that he spends most of it talking about dragons! Dragons, dragons and more dragons. So I thought I would edit my initial comment to include a little of this detail, because everyone would understand that any program that deals so closely with dragons is must see tv.

That's when things went awry. After I clicked send on my edit, woe was to be me. You'd already quoted the initial message, so now my dragon edit sat orphaned in the thread. What was I to do?

A deletion seemed in order, then I'd just write a new message mentioning the dragons. In my haste to act I'd made things worse, now you were quoting from a message that no longer existed! And my explanation of an edit didn't cleanly fit the facts.

Where does this leave us? In a forum where luckily for me people are used to reading longer than usual posts. With that as a measure I present to you the preceding story, and hope that it adequately recreates the events which lead to its creation.


However you might feel cheated, so I will tell you my greatest secret.

The Secret of the Dragonslayer.

Knight's Strength = X
Dragon's Strength appears to be = X + 1
Dragon's Strength actually is = X - 1

Naturally you just substitute Dragon with whatever obstacle you might face, and you'll have in your possession the basis for every story written, and a self help/motivational tool that will allow you to move mountains!

I forgot how different your posts were since I haven't read them for a while now. Where've you been?

In order to answer that question, first I would have to answer why was I here in the first place.


I was here as part of my training for the Grail Quest that was to follow. Why here? because here is one of the watering holes where this generation's deep space navigators congregate to share their vision of reality.


Once my training was complete I left on my Grail Quest. Which consisted of a single task. Unlock a Dragon's heart. This was complicated in three ways. The first is that the dragon was located in hell. The second being that the dragon does not sit idly by while you try key after key. Instead she breathes torrent upon torrent of fire on you. The third is that the lock's design is similar to that of a Russian nesting doll, in that it consisted of a seemingly infinite series of locks within locks within locks.


Eventually I was faced with the final lock. Whose mechanism has characteristics similar to that of a bank's vault. The most important element of which is a 'time lock'.

When faced with a time lock, a single task falls into your lap. How do you fill the time? One of the answers to this question that I've had has been, "Watch a creationist video about Dragons", another has been, "Write long winded replies to simple questions"
