Why people laugh at Creationists

[Dave Lane]

Taking a lead from Killer Clown I thought I'd create a alternative thread to post some videos I like...

[EDIT New video here]

So on with the show:

Here's the Kent Hovind Theory:



"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

i think humans may have been far inferior creatures back then... always fighting about religion and arguing over pointless matters. nobody would have bothered to even listen to such a mad man.

They lived to be 900 without all the marvels of current evolved science, that isn't too shabby.

Our problems seem so new, but it's pretty much the same crap different day. It's rather En Vogue now.

Last ice age started to end about 20,000 years ago and was over 10-15,000 years ago so it couldn't have happened within the last six thousand years after the flood. Are we now saying that scientists have the ice age dating wrong too?

A "land bridge" to the Galapagos that was a result of no water would mean basically no ocean left at all.

Perhaps before you said that about turtle migration you should have looked at a world map and then actually thought about what you proposed. It is beyond ludicrous.

anyone ever heard of the Gap Theory?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_creationism

Gap creationism (also known as ruin-restoration creationism, restoration creationism, or "The Gap Theory") is a form of old Earth creationism that posits that the six-day creation, as described in the Book of Genesis, involved literal 24-hour days, but that there was a gap of time between two distinct creations in the first and the second verses of Genesis, explaining many scientific observations, including the age of the Earth.[1][2][3] It differs from day-age creationism, which posits that the 'days' of creation were much longer periods (of thousands or millions of years), and from young Earth creationism, which although it agrees concerning the six literal 24-hour days of creation, does not posit any gap of time.

really, so there is no ice left?

ludicrous would be acknowledging they were once in turkey, which validates the Ark, and then saying the same point of origin/final destination disproves it.

The Winter Solstice lasts 3 months. Every year.

How long do you think it would take a glacier to move down from the Arctic circle to cover most of the region that is now the US?

I'm talking current, man-made time. Not biblical time.
