just realized in a bit of hilarious irony the young earth creationist’s who claim humans and dinosaurs lived alongside each other are technically correct😭

see this is where I have fun with creationists because, if you're careful, you can string them along a whole conversation by talking about birds and saying dinosaurs, and it takes FOREVER for them to realize what's happening and get mad

"One of the most frightening things in the Western world, and in this country in particular, is the number of people who believe in things that are scientifically false. If someone tells me that the earth is less than 10,000 years old, in my opinion he should see a psychiatrist”

-- Francis Crick

Sensible science rebuttals to the claims of Creationists and Intelligent Design advocates.

If they don't have somebody to blame, can fundamentalists even be happy?

While some Christians are excited about the prospect of the Webb Telescope, other "young Earth" creationists find it to be unacceptable.

“But as these images show, the universe is not only logical, it is also beautiful. This is God’s creation being revealed to us, and in it we can see both his astonishing power and his love of beauty.”

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but if you deny science, empirical evidence, or proven facts then you don't get an opinion on anything until you recognize reality

Adam

The potter works punch out a hollow, pinch, form pinch the nose, step back, drive a hole each side for air. The mouth - no, the mouth comes later. PInch out ears, two swipes for eyes, two hollows. Rudimentary hair - a scratching.

Moving on: punch out the chest, two huge slabs two hollows to be filled with carefully formed heart & lungs & guts in their perfect hidden detail. And further down. Scrawny bum. Hollow it. Slap on some thighs, fill them in, muscle, bone, muscle. Add a lump of clay where they meet, blend the seams. Then the lower legs. Muscle, bone, muscle. Ten toes, taking joy in the forming, each toe individual, each getting smaller. Ten fingers. A whole body, under the potter's eyes.

He stands back, admires his work. He sees it is good.

And finally: the mouth. Formed open, ready to receive. Formed ready to breathe.

He stoops beside his creation, bends low, breathes.

And the clay breathes the eyes crack the dirt heart beats

Oh man I looked at the notes on that evolution & Christianity poll (a mistake, clearly), like, how can so many people be so fkin stupid. Yes thats mean of me to say but. Y'all are really out here being strict biblical literalists?? Not even most of the early christian theologians & church fathers were strict biblical literalists?? There is no historical basis to being an extreme literalist abt the bible?? Presumably you received SOME sort of education and can read and think critically?? You can't ALL have been raised in an information restrictive cult??

99% of the time im ready to throw hands with Catholicism because oh boy we have beef and I hate it here, but at least we're not Like That TM.

Oh Fr Georges Lemaître, father of the Big Bang Theory, we're really in it now.

every once in a while my mother will drop some insane belief that i guess shes had all along. anyways did you know ancient people lived to be 1,000 years old 😱😱

Unfriendly Reminder that the Sixth Mass Extinction - the one Humans Have Caused - is most similar to the End-Permian extinction in terms of causes and effects. That extinction killed 90%, possibly more, of life on earth. The main difference between the sixth and the end-Permian? The sixth is going faster. Faster usually means life has less time to adapt. We are careening towards the largest mass extinction this planet has ever seen.

Science tells Us: Humans created cooking 1 million years ago... Glue 300,000 years ago Clothing 170,000 years ago Jewelry 130,000 years ago Musical instruments 43,000 years ago Sewing needles 30,000 Ceramics 20,000 Booze 10,000

But God created the Universe 6-10,000 years ago...

Tell me again when arithmetic was invented?

An existent god could so easily have made itself known by giving us the correct answers in its scripture. All of them got everything wrong.

evolution is when you have body segments, and the more segments you have, the more evolved you are

Guys, it's 2023.

Mokèlé-Mbèmbé is not Apatosaurus ajax.

INSANE how Christian zionists are literally an apocalypse cult using political power to try and bring about the end times. You sound like a villain from buffy.

stories about extraterrestrials scare me, because although hearsay; they paint a bad picture of those who are supposed to be heavenly.
