  • The difference between science and faith: Science can show evidence whenever demanded. Faith is obligated to never show evidence.

  • Creationism is already being treated as a science. It being treated like the sciences of astrology, alchemy, and dowsing by being abandoned when found to be useless.

  • I love it when people call into this show and say stupid shit. It's amazing how they just go on and on for 10, 20 minutes at a time repeating the same failed arguments over and over. Many laughs were had.

  • wow 'it doesn't seem fair that evolution is making its way in science and creationism isn't." you know what, its unfair that medical professionals are telling everyone that jumping into a pool of toxic waste will have seriously negative effects on a persons health whilst none of them are telling people that you'll actually gain super powers. That seems very unfair to me.

  • Should had ask him " were you there when jesus walked on earth telling his jokes and stories?" then hang up on him.

  • He's in collage right now? I hope it has nothing to do with the with Politics or any public office of any kind!

  • @MunkyDrag0n or pay tax

  • I'd listen to a guy in a serenity shirt any day!

  • @yhenry77

    That's a moronic statement. If there is no evidence any religion is real it's better to not beleive any of it until their burden of proof has been met.

  • @kmosher4 If god is real, he would have to be a natural force. For anything to manifest in the real world it HAS to be physical in some way. God would have to be material. Ghostbusters touches on this a bit with how ghosts are made of psychokenetic energy. Energy is a form of matter. If ghosts, demons, and gods exist, they would have to be natural.

  • Also. Bat-shit crazy. Fantastic.
