new proof of creationism!!!
wf...@ptd.net
review' the other day, and came across a letter written by someone who
said he'd seen a video which convinced him creationism was true. his
proof? well it seems the bible mentions large terrible lizards.
lizards grow throughout their whole lives. and since people in the
bible used to live hundreds of years, it would be logical that they'd
see large lizards.
i laughed so hard, i almost had to change my undershorts. at least the
editor of that scientifically illiterate rag admitted the only
creationists are fundamentalist christians though he said he didn't
understand why....

The real hoot, is I'd bet a plugged nickle that
the video was one of Hovind's.

Logically, the large lizards would be merely gigantic versions of small
lizards. No one has ever seen an extant miniature version of a Tyrannosaurus
Rex.

I can't get past the concept that those ancient wanderers were able to come up
with individual names for cows, and goats , and other of the larger world
animals ... but the whole "dino" group was "lizards".
Now you would think that naming the important, plainly different and obviously
dangerous ones would be common.
I can't imagine a goat herder running through camp saying "Everybody run! -
here comes that particular lizard that stands 40 cubits high, with large -
flesh ripping teeth - with two large hind legs and two small front arms!"
As opposed to "don't worry, it's only that one with the very long neck .. and
very long tail that loves to eat watery vegetation and wades in shallow pools
all day."
Face it .. any alleged book that claims to have men around at the same time
as dinosaurs, but fails to give significant mention to the largest living
things on land .. must not be telling you the truth.

When someone is saved from certain death by a strange
concatenation of circumstances, they say its a miracle.
But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of
events - that must also be a miracle.
Just because it isn't nice doesn't mean its not miraculous.

Do you believe that one must deny the existence of God in order to recognize
scientific illiteracy? Why?

God: And here's the next species, one I'm particularly proud of...
Adam: Beetle.
God: Excellent. Now here's another...
Adam: Beetle.
God: No, you just named the last one "beetle". This one is quite
different -- look at the pattern on the wing cases, and the
shape of the antennae...
Adam: Beetle.
God: Well, OK, though they certainly look different to Me. Now,
the next species is --
Adam: Beetle.

It is a non feeling, except that we have the ability to learn and
understand what goes on in nature without needing to ask our
preachers if we should do this or not.
Of course, there are many people of all religions who are able to
do this also. What gets me is how anyone could look at the bible and
then look at nature and not see that the bible does not do a good job
of describing nature.

People think that libraries are safe places, but they're not,
they have ideas.
