Why do people laugh at creationists? (part 36).

Its funny, it really is, well to be honest hilarious. I really didn't think PCS was serious when he claimed 'Ive found a scientific discovery that has been sourced to the bible, and that proves its divinely inspired' or similar.

The sad thing is you don't even need to think about it long to realize that hes full of crap.

So his line one item for 'showing the bible to be true' is a fragment of a poem from psalms. A line that involves divinely revealed insight about 'the fish of the sea' and the 'paths of the sea'.

Turns out the arguments weren't even his own anyway. They were copied, word for word off other creationist website. This is doubtless why he doesn't appear on camera.

So 'he' claims that the discovery of the ocean currents was directly due to the Bible, and a guy called Maury read the Bible, and then went off to discovery them.

Problem one of course is there are no citations to this outside creationist scribblings.

Problem 2 is that according to Maury himself, the gulf stream was known about at least 200 years before he looked at the problem (face-palm).

Problem 3, ocean currents have been known about since antiquity. Its one of the first thing you notice when you get out on the sea in a dead calm is that there are ocean currents. Indeed our word for ocean stems from the Greek, as they incorrectly believed the ocean to be a giant river called 'okeanos' (or similar).

So yeah, his bold claim that I had no come back to this is kinda on the level of fractal wrongness.

His second argument is also directly, word for word copied off of another creationist site.
Kudos to GuineaPigDan for spotting this.

There are no 'revealed' discoveries related to this passage in Leviticus, and with good reason.
The ritual for cleaning wounds involves chopping up birds and burning them.
This is also how the Bible describes to cure leprosy.

Further the passage only states running water, not clean running water.
Again, bible literalists will read more into it when they want to, and ignore things that are explicitly stated.

Leviticus, for those who haven't read it is a blood bath of animal sacrifices and burning animal carcasses. Its really messed up stuff that wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie, or in the annals of the mentally disturbed.

Using logic and reason to inform and/or argue that religious beliefs are wrong is pointless. These peoples beliefs are not based on logic or reason but on faith. This means no logical or rational argument could convince them otherwise. And that, my friends, is why we laugh. What else is there to do?

@daedrakiller77 He my be skeptical and even condescending, but he is not intolerant.

Christians beileve that homosexuality is immoral, and actively attempt to pass legislation that takes away the rights of gay people.

Christians beileve, that even though they abortion is wrong, everyone else must also be denied the choice.

That is forcing your opinion on others, that is biggotry.

That is intolerance.

0:05-0:43 They later asked Dawkins how it was possible, if we had evolved from apes, that there were still apes around today. He directed the question to their teacher, the one teaching them about evolution, yet she did not have a clue.

How can a student decide what they want to believe if their teachers neither have the knowledge or the will to find out the factual based truth and educate the students for a well thought out decision? It´s just plain indoctrination.
