Ray Comfort's intro Part 3

[songwriter4artists]

You can lead an atheist to evidence, but you can't make him think. The problem with atheists is that they don't want the evidence of God, they already reject him in their hearts, which means that even if the evidence is revealed they'd still reject it, because it didn't come how they wanted it to come. And another thing, he quoted a verse from the bible about God being jealous, and obviously, he just revealed his ignorance biblical terminology and contextual meaning. "Thou shalt not bow to idols

[avdmeers]

@songwriter4artists What evidence? The available evidence (literature history, cultures, biology, ...) disproves you. Your claim that atheists don't think is the most hilarious I've seen, it just shows how little you know of a group. It is someone like you who doesn't look at the evidence that speaks against your beliefs. The bible can be a generic instrument open for many interpretations, some pointing towards a really gracious god, and some to a dictator. What makes your interpretation law?

ray comfort couldn't find his own ass with both hands, an anatomy chart, and directions. that's because he'd have to pull his head out of there first and wipe the shit out of his eyes.

[GuineaPigDan]

Gotta love how Comfort coninues to ask us heathens whether we lie and steal. The AIG Busted blog discovered that Comfort plagairsed parts of the biography of Darwin he had in his intro. Eugene Scott also caught that early copies of Ray Comfort's versions of OoS excluded the chapters where Darwin gave the strongest evidence for his theory. For a person who constantly harps about judgement, he doesn't seem to give a crap about his own eternal condition.

frog + kiss = prince (fairytale)

frog + millions of years = prince (science)

now that's ridiculous.

you can't prove God does not exist, therefore you must believe.

evolution = religion.

you're gonna serve somebody. it might be the devil, it might be the Lord... but you're gonna have to serve somebody ~bob dylan

[qdragon1337]

god + dirt = human?

[brownbigb]

idiot. you can't prove that you didn't commit murder, therefore we must believe you are a murderer.

[bdobbsthepipe]

@dustydirt

"frog + millions of years = prince (science)"

Why?

"you can't prove God does not exist, therefore you must believe.

evolution = religion."

The existence of god has nothing to do with evolution . And the burden is on you to prove that god exists.

[dustydirt]

@bdobbsthepipe

you can't prove evolution either... FACT!!!

at least i don't try to hide the fact that i have a religion.

as for evolution... since you cannot provide irrefutable evidence,

you have to admit, evolution falls into the same category... RELIGION!!!

NOT science.

[bdobbsthepipe]

@dustydirt

"you can't prove evolution either... FACT!!!"

Already done it ! FACT!!!!

All evidence in biology supports Evolution FACT!

[dustydirt]

@bdobbsthepipe

how on earth has evolution been proven???

if it has, why is it still a theory??? duh! it will always be a theory. FFAACCTT!!!!!!!!

you say... "all evidence"??? that is a total farce statement.

what you're really saying is that nothing came from nothing. how foolish is that?

only an intellectual God hating science majoring buffoon can come to that conclusion. thank God not all.

do me a favor, watch this video here on youtube.

watch?v=Rd-2Tyw-eF4

peace bro.

[thefusilier1000]

@dustydirt Theory is the highest level of understanding. Theories explain facts. You clearly don't understand the definition of a scientifc theory. It doesn't mean a hunch or a guess like it's used in casual converstation. If there was no evidence evoloution would be a hypothesis. So of course it will always be a theory.

[dustydirt]

@thefusilier1000

oxford english dictionary (11th edition)...

THEORY: a supposition (i.e. ASSUMPTION) or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

FACT: a thing that is indisputably the case.

FOOLISH: lacking good sense or judgement; silly or unwise.

EVOLUTION THEORY: foolish!

[thefusilier1000]

@dustydirt Wrong definition. "Scientific Theory" is what you need to quote. Start here.... /wiki/Scientific_theory

It is NOT an assumption. You are quoting the definition of "theory" that is used in common speech. Not the scientific usage.

[gethsoftware]

@dustydirt not really frog. you see the amfibians of that time where more like huge salamanders. those salamanders had adaptitions that alowed them avoid drying out, one of them was hardy scales witch protected their skin. other was that they culd lay eggs on land. hard shell on their eggs. then these reptiles evolved sails to catch suns reays to control their bodyheat, these where creatures like dimendrodon, they allso are called. mammal like reptiles bechose mammals evolved from them.

[gethsoftware]

@dustydirt lot of them salamanders are called fire lizards. thats bechose they are cousins of those amfibians that evolved in to reptiles. allso, i dont have to serve anybody. if there are devils or gods, then i kill them. humanity is nobadys servant. we are free men.

[dustydirt]

@gethsoftware

how can a blind man be free? Only Jesus Christ can set you free.

ONLY!!!

im down right fed up with the naturalist rhetoric.

why dont you open an old folks home services only swamp monkeys.

afterall, there just as sacred as humans... right?

[tomwash1]

Believe it or not, I know a girl who jumped out of a plane and her parachutes failed to open properly. She got away with a couple of broken ribs and a broken nose! She's the one christian I know who I don't blame for believing in a god.

[brownbigb]

if she thinks god saved her, she should thank god for killing all others, because he has the ability, but picks and chooses. that just makes god an asshole.

[FF8winner]

About the parachute analogy....

I would ask Ray if there was a safe spot to land, and if I had to jump out of the parachute.

Then I would ask if he would be jumping out and landing safely in the exact same place I would.

If he said yes, I'd gladly take those car keys.

[brownbigb]

lol. of course you saw in the movie 2012, that you can jump out of a plane with a car and live :)

[Muchodelcrazy]

It's a false tetrachodomy!

[olli19800]

my older brother is part of Comforts "ministery" and actually bought is redundant christiain creationist fear mongering

[nishbrown]

Comfort is the Giotto of reason. He is fail, through and through.

[laurariddle292]

Y'know what I'd do? I'd take the money and sew that into a parachute.

[dudehorner]

you need to read more dude - like 'the Akashic field and the theory of everything'

[JRChadwick]

Agg!  The religious bigotry!

I like the "Failnalogy" term. I'll remember that one.

[TheFlST]

Someone should kill comfort.

[JBSauce]

Sadly, he would only be stronger in death...these fundies are stimulated by martyrs.

[1Weemaryanne]

I love how Comfort et al describe belief as a choice, when *they* don't believe that themselves. They don't believe they have the choice to stop believing or change their beliefs, and they don't believe you and I have any choice except to share their beliefs or suffer eternal torment.

Bullshitters must first BS themselves.

[bangonya]

hahah wow ray comfort

[FallenAngel0fDoom]

Meh, I'd punch Ray Cuntfort in the face, take the Mona Lisa, take the parachute, and leave that retard to parish in the closest reality of hell he deserves, the planes fireball when it hits the ground. Fuck his ultimatums.

[DonatiAlfaYed]

ur welcome QG! allway's a pleasure!

[trick0171]

Excellent debunking. :)

Just one minor flaw I noticed regarding quantum field theory. We do not know if we can attribute it to a-causality or a causal hidden variable as of yet. We only know that it is non-local.

Thanks,

Trick

[fyphfoko]

couldn't i take the money and buy a cheap parachute, or else buy the plane and land it?

[conrad4ever]

yea exaxtly. or push the uy out of the plane who is so sure we have to jump

[Waxxumus]

Yeeaahhh... lets go with that... XD awesome man.

[FredricF]

The "nothing can come from nothing"-argument repeated ad nauseam has not been proven.

There actually is a theory that the universe is a vacuum fluctuation with the total energy of zero. This theory was discussed some 20 years ago but I beleive it is ruled out now but, and this is important, NOT because some silly "nothing can come from nothing" or "everything must have a cause" argument.

[REBMike1]

Ray Comfort can go sick his intro and his banana up fundie ass. Nice video Qdragon 5 stars for you Mr.Big Balls.

[ndvuncle]

Well, if I were in a plane that was due to crash. I'd tie Ray to the million dollars so he'd plummet even faster. Then I'd land safely with my parachute, grab the money and leave Ray for the wolves. They're God's creatures and need food too.

[mecher3k]

lmfao. Oh that made me crack up laughing, the million dollars part anyway.

[DooMDrat]

Weighing him down would only make him drop faster under cartoon physics. Should work, considering the fantasy land Ray lives in.

[Vinifera7]

I'm wondering what any of this lengthy writing about religion and all of the crappy analogies have anything at all to do with evolution.

I haven't read past the first few pages after the short biography on Darwin, but I can only imagine that Ray has attempted the following tactic:

1) Convince reader that Christianity is correct and by extension, the Bible is true.

2) Point out the fact that the Creation story in the Bible is different than what science indicates and therefore must be true.

[philhellenes]

I'm trying to think of someone I respect LESS than Ray Comfort.

I mean I'm REALLY trying...

[Bueller007]

@philhellenes

Ray Comfort is primarily stupid and ignorant, and only secondarily dishonest. Carl Baugh is a million times worse.

[philhellenes]

You might be right. That comment about panspermia "creating the Universe" CERTAINLY qualifies as stupid and ignorant. But this man has staff and proof readers and presumably consults some more knowledgeable liars than he to help him lie. Yet that STUNNER got through to the published book. It's a huge mistake. Almost TOO huge. A wiki article could tell you what panspermia is.

Smells odd.

Could it be possible he ACTS stupid to stop aggression? Obvious fools are safer than obvious liars.

[Bueller007]

Well, if the trend of "not checking out anything that any other creationist says, but rather just repeating it blindly" that I've noticed in other creationists applies to Ray Comfort's own staff, I sincerely doubt that his proof-readers do anything more than check for spelling errors.

[OktoberSunset]

Kent Hovind?

[seanThree16]

Yeah I know right? What a piece of shit.

[grits011]

Using the bible to prove the bible? Again?

[creativeinsult]

"perfectly circular" i love the way you said that :D

[ivorbueb]

My bible already has an intro that is just as stupid as anything Comfort can come up with for On The Origin Of Species. It starts, "In the beginning....."

[TheOmniNerd]

I suppose one of the fundamental differences between religious people and atheists is the questions they ask. Religious people ask "Why?", while athesist ask "How?"

Even though Ray's always asking "How did the universe begin?" He's really looking for the answer to the question "Why did the universe begin?"

We may never know why, but we have a pretty good idea how, and that pisses off fundies. They can't ask scientists the right questions.

Why ask why, when how is so much more fun?

[TheOmniNerd]

Actually, I couldn't think of a better analogy for religion than the parachute one.

Considering the track record of religions in general when it comes to honesty, who's to say that the parachute you were given even works? Knowing Ray Comfort, it could be filled with dirty laundry for all you know. I'd rather take my chances staying on the plane.

For those who do take the parachute, you've just let Ray walk off with all the other gifts after the plane lands safely. Think about that.

[venomfangEND]

Ray Comfort's god seems to have a serious case of agoraphobia. Why would a perfect, omnipotent god be so painfully SHY?

Why would god reward conviction without substantiation (faith), and send everyone else to eternal punishment, particularly those that ponder their rational doubts?

A benevolent god wouldn't do that, and that's all the logic anyone should need to see that religion's terminal weakness --it's undetectable god-- can't be ignored by anyone with integrity.

[RadarKat73080]

Someone write an intro to the Bible, mentioning that primates, including humans cannot make vitamin c. I'd so it, but I suck as a writer and am not a scientist.

[1451tyler]

that damn ray COMORT!

[qdragon1337]

what typo.... :P

[Quionic7]

5* :)

[truvelocity]

FIrsties! I would get the million and send a runner to buy me a parachute! HAHAHA

[BionicDance]

*snork* Not only are you not first, not only is declaring first severely lame, but I already SAID I'd take the million and buy a parachute.

Way to triple-fail! *strut* ;)

[BionicDance]

I'd take the million bucks, BUY a parachute, THEN jump out of the plane. ;)

[LilithMaura]

lol...that only works if there's a parachute store in the plane that you're already in.....I'm guessing

[BionicDance]

Aww, I figured we'd get the chance before the plane even took off. I believe in coming to these things PREPARED! ;)

[JustaEropeanGuy]

lol awesome
