We Think Atheist Ep 16: Creation and evolution deserve equal time in science classes

[godisonmyside15]

how would a worm turn into us?? THEORY! u really believe that u were once monkeys! Atheists are soooo hilarious. theory u were once purple unicorns too huh?? lol funny stuff. JESUS IS LORD!

[lolbilloreilly]

@godisonmyside15 Gravity is a theory as well, but remember, religious people didn't believe in that way back when either.

[bogogf]

@godisonmyside15 As opposed to women being made from ribs ? Get a grip idiot.

[funkytown2000]

@godisonmyside15 do some research before spouting garbage. also, though you say "jesus is lord" you have no physical evidence, nor any evidence that is testable which would prove your so called god exists.

[godisonmyside15]

the funny thing is, is that evolution is a THEORY!! Meaning people guessed... haha i win! End of story... God bless u! :D I love Jesus!

2 things for the creationist who comes across this:

Insisting on a who does not answer the question of how. Pay attention to the question.

The idea that 'we should teach the debate' would be fine if there were any actual debate. ID lost already and it's tombstone is in Pennsylvania.

On the plus side, you are entitled and even encouraged to bring forward NEW arguments and ACTUAL evidence if you come across either or both.

Good luck on that.

Creationists don't want equal time!

They just want to be allowed to stand up in front of a High School Science Class and say "Everything you are being taught about Evolution is a LIE!!!!!"

It's the equivelent of an Atheist teaching 'The Riddle of Epicurus' in a Friggin' Sunday School!

[CryptSphinx]

How dare you !

You MUST give creationism equal time in the classroom.

In the beginning was Ginnungagap - empty void - beyond that - Muspell the world of Fire and The world of ice know as Niflheim -

In ginnungagap met the Ice winds from Niflheim and the fiery heat from Muspell - from this combination came the frost gian Ymir - the first of the gods.

Yeah - you see where im going with this....

[rockmania27]

Im supposed to listen to a freaking purple unicorn? Thats NOT science! Creationism IS! God is love!

nawwzzz jk hahhah =p bet i had some people goin there hehe

[josephgrenon]

I've been hearing all of the god arguments all of my life. If anyone is qualified for the hive minded drone metaphor, it would be you Jon.

Have you ever had a prayer answered in your life?

Was jesus ever there for you? Have you ever looked at your church's books? Do you know how many stars are in you own galaxy, let alone how many galaxies might be in the universe? Do you understand the probability for a pink unicorn is much more likely than the probability of god?

[onlookerinisrael]

god's existence explains everything????

"GOD DID IT" explains nothing. it teaches us nothing, and does nothing to advance our knowledge. we'd still be living in caves if it was up to fundamentalist christians...

Bush league? I signed a professional contract, bitch. Go back home and look up "strawman argument", you charlatan.

[DrewsAnimation]

pretty good lipsync

[WeThinkAtheist]

Thanks

Creationism should be taught in schools . . . but ONLY if the teachers are lavender unicorns! Can't find any lavender unicorns? They're with god. Bring him out of hiding and you've got the unicorns.

[Jonisdaman]

you atheists are SOOOOOOO hive minded. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the old God is = to unicorns strawman argument. Comparing the creator of the universe space and time who's existence explains everything to some mythical animal who existence would explain nothing is bush league atheism. your gonna have to do better than that.

You can start by having an original thought you hive minded atheist drones.

[TheTyrantSaint]

You Christians seem to think "God did it" is a sufficient explanation for the universe, space and time; it's not. You can't even define WHAT God is; your answer is that he's "beyond comprehension" which seems convenient. We believe your god is just as "mythical" as a unicorn, and you can't prove otherwise. The Burden of Proof is on you, my friend.

[TheTyrantSaint]

P.S. a tsunami destroying the coast of India or a hurricane leveling New Orleans is NOT proof of your god's wrath against sinners and non-believers; it's proof of shifting tectonic plates and warm sea air...

[LyokoFreaks69]

Or, alternatively, you and your fellow theologians could present us with some evidence for God's existence, though I'm confident that you'll spout out classic Creationist and apologetic arguments (a la C.S. Lewis) that have no basis in factual evidence, but are merely propaganda in YOUR version of hive-minded thinking.

The unicorn = God argument is in no way a straw man as you are defining God on your own terms. The equation stems from the fact that neither have any compelling evidence.

[AnimaRaptor]

Bush league? I hope that's a phrase I've not come across before, otherwise I'm going to call you some rather disparaging names...

Ok, ok... God isn't equal to unicorns... He's equal to every other god in history though.
