Most great scientists were theists :P; Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal,Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton,,
Leibnitz, Albert Einstein (at least a lot of his life if not all), actually…the list has hundreds of names, only a "handful" atheists have discovered actual laws 😛 if you look at wikipedia you will see…only 2% of the world are atheists…so you are greatly outnumbered
and yet you still haven't mastered grammar? 2 churches down the street have been turned into a night club and tattoo studio, and we are rejoicing! good luck, Religion is sinking so fast you will need another ark! LMAO
You mean the cavemen that rode on top of those dinosaurs right? It must be true I saw it at the creation museum, they wouldn't lie would they?
i beleive there were dinosaurs millions of years ago…there is a problem with what you say though…why are there pictures of dinosaurs in art that is hundreds and thousands of years old..how did those people know what a dinosaur looks like? i would be doubtful also…..but..ive seen the pictures
genesisparkdotcom/exhibits/evidence/historical/ancient/dinosaur/ how did people in different places have drawings that resemble dinosaurs? im not certain these people saw dinosaurs…but…im certain they didnt either…it might or might not be coincidence…but…its worth looking into…after all…living fossils have been discovered
"how did people in different places have drawings that resemble dinosaurs?"
They found them in the same places where we dig up dinosaur fossils today. Some fossils even save you the trouble of digging them up. Wind or rainfall erodes away the soil, leaving some fossils exposed, making them even easier to find. Hell, one or two cavemen found fossils too. Hell, they may have even drew pictures of them….IN CAVES!!!
funny…but…how did they know what those bones looked like…some with the armor plates and stuff
yeah…HAHA…LOOK AT WIKIPEDIA…ATHEISTS ARE ONLY A WHOPPING 2% OF THE WORLD POPULATION…ENJOY YOUR DINNER AS YOUR KIND GOES EXTINCT
Fastest growing movement in the world. Extinction not heaven is what you have to look forward to my religious friend. Atheism will be your very own Asteroid!
not so sure about that…theres a lot of sites saying atheism is on the decline…but your free to believe as you wish…with the fall of russia and china becoming more christian..i dont think people want atheists ruling them…russia and china probably killed more people than any governments in history
any drawing that has been produced like the ones discovered in Peru turned out to be fake, the others were drawings of Mammoths, and other large MAMMALS that the cavemen hunted. You clearly cannot tell the diff. between dinosaurs and mammals.
this si something i will research more when I have time..but..theres several drawings are carvings ive seen that certainly look like dinosaurs and not mammals…since im an old age creationist..its not a critical issue..but..it is something that i have an open mind to the possibility …since i have seen some of the ancient paintings and carvings
Then you have nothing to worry about, you seem shaken can I get you a Triceratops burger?
You do realize that the extinction event asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs did not kill everyone right? The small mammals thrived because the predators were gone. Natural selection favors the species that adapted to its new environment quicker, Evolution- It works Bitches!
simpler animals are more likely to survive period…that why bacteria are still here…survival of the fittest generally favors simplicity, not complexity, bacteria will outsurvive us all
I love both of these people. One is a scientific woman full of hard facts and one is a brilliant philosopher who can articulate the facts in such a way that puts the nail in the coffin that houses creation science.
I am an atheist but also a Master electrician. I was standing 8 years ago with the local wiring inspector and the fire dept in a kitchen wired but a jackass that knew just enough to be dangerous. This clown told the home owner that GFI outlets will allow more power to a given outlet. This misunderstanding of the theory of electricity is similar to the misunderstanding of the theory of evolution. Both theories are the same. We know how evolution and electricity works but still don't know exactly why. That doesn't mean they are false teachings or RELIGIONS as morons like Hovind think. This amateur electrician almost caused the entire kitchen to go up in flames. He should have run at least 2 circuits from the panel. Instead he charged a hefty price to be lazy. I don't know exactly why higher than allowed heat on a wire causes loose connections but it does. Biologists don't know exactly why certain evolutionary paths took place but the evidence shows that they did. While a fire in a kitchen can actually kill people right away distorted science and non acceptance of evolutionary facts can kill the scientific supremecy that at one time filled this great country. Teaching creation in a biology class is like teaching the nonsense that this idiot told the customer who almost lost his family. I would have been laughed out of the trade school even mentioning such crap. Hovind should receive the same treatment.
ID isn't "dead" but it is definitely very "sick". Secularism is growing and religion no longer has a monopoly on the human spirit.
When I listen to Eugene Scott and Dan I find it so uplifting and inspiring. Trying so hard to bring enlightenment to the human mind, with honesty and clarity. As all down through history religion is trying to hold back knowledge and progress. And people like them keep plowing ahead no matter what is thrown at them.
I was once in a situation where an engineer had specified the center to center dimension of a rail that was to have a flanged wheel roll on it. I pointed out that the proper way was to specify the gauge rather than the center to center distance. The engineer got upset that I would question his judgement, but later he apologized and admitted that my assessment was correct and his was wrong. "Experts" aren't always as correct as they think they are.
Philosophy and dogma here.
Not an appropriate comment I know but Dr Scott is a very attractive woman.
Religions are a multi-billion dollar industry that "sells" stories in
mythology for untraceable TAX EXEMPT donation dollars. Invisible gods,
devils, and demons only exist in mythology but the religions claim they
really exist to scare people into donating their money to uh "spread the
good word". By spreading the "good word" they gain more gullible
donating members. Religions start by indoctrinating (grooming) children
with their beliefs in a supernatural deity and then when the children
reach adulthood they begin donating money and continue donating money
until they eventually die. So 18 to 20 years of grooming nets 50 to 60
years of donating. It's all about making untraceable TAX EXEMPT money
for the owners of the churches. The gullible members never realize their
INVISIBLE "god" only exists in MYTHOLOGY.
Creation vs Evolution
I wanna see Kent Hovind & Ken Ham debate Daniel Dennett & Genie Scott at University of California, Berkeley
Professor Genie is misquoting what is ID. She should represent evolution so Professor Daniel represents evolution too so this debate should be evolution vs. evolution. Every Christian should know that creationists ideas does not match with evolution Natural selection and Random variations. The Dover trial was a trap to ID proponents by atheists Darwanists to continue bombard our kids in high schools with atheism and that need to stop. I will stop from watching this nonsense, don't waste your time with this 2 retired eds.
