A review of 'Arguments Creationists Should Not Use'

I was going to do a review of 'Arguments Creationists Should Not Use' but it started out with such a lack of logic that there did not seem much point continuing.

To further illustrate just how dumb creationists are, watch a few of their videos here on YouTube then tick off the number of arguments they use that their own Answers in Genesis say they should not be using as listed here: http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dont_use.asp

Ok i'm Catholic. I believe in god and all that. But people not understanding how to read the bible is the biggest missconception there is.

The Old testement was never inteded to be taken 100% literally by readers. Most of it was for the Jews 4000 years ago. Stories like creation was NOT supposed to be EXACTLY what it says, but just say that god played a part in our creation.

And a thing science doesnt explain: What created the big bang?

Answer: God is the most reasonable answer

[mddawson1]

The most reasonable answer is "we don't know yet". Saying God did it stifles enquiry into possible natural causes.

[Shavarnarak]

An argument creationists should not use is this; creationism.

The entire concept is bullcrap, and doesn't have a scientific leg to stand on.

Creationism is a political movement trying to give beliefs a false veneer of science, but even though they might con a bunch of hicks and other assorted slackjawed homeschoolers. They aren't going to win their little crusade against knowledge.

and why do you always just say god did it?

because your to stupid to read a book thats not a bible?

i mean come on you know this shit takes time and research

modern science and physics have just hopped up on the scene like 200 years ago

we're still making adances every day

but no youd rather believe something written by an illiterate sheep herder 2000 years ago who dictated all his words that were probably messed up by his scribes

Oral tradition=FAIL

Fail=(mostly) oral tradition=bible

Just got a point to make, I'm a atheist in case you were wondering, well apparently no one ever believed that the earth was flat. It has ALWAYS been considered spherical. Even by the ancient civilisations. It was more believed, by idiots, that the world was a sphere encompassing a cube. Just had to point that out. I'm pedantic like that. Oh, and we can bitch about creationists all we want but they won't change, another thing that needed pointing out.

@Pawluk44 Why is god the most reasonable answer? You can't just arbitrarily pick some answer as being the most reasonable one. Something that happened so long ago is obviously going to be difficult/time consuming to find out about. There are ideas in the scientific community about the cause of the Big Bang, but we don't know yet because we are still gathering evidence. We may never know. But a lack of scientific proof is not evidence for god any more than it is evidence for a magic sky cat.

@Pawluk44 its funny, because Hitler was roman catholic and it has been statistically proven that there is more of the christian population in prison than the atheist population. and i really dont think that belief/lack of belief will cause your doom, unless of course it is caused by people who don't share that belief.

"So why do scientists say that they have no idea what was before the big bang"

Time started with the big bang so to ask what was BEFORE the big bang doesn't make much sense does it.

[ruhani777]

The number one argument creationists and theists alike seem to have is, WHO CREATED THE BIG BANG.

Nobody created it, it was fucking random, like everything else is in reality. Those people should be grateful to nature, not god, for even existing.

[speeps84]

looking back i can hardly believe i wrote that

[SpartanFiref0x]

Hey speeps84.. I was going to add to the forum, but instead I read what you typed, and it's pretty much exactly what I would have wrote. Very well done, and I agree with all your posts. Two thumbs up!

[halabalo195]

i never claimed anything

[mddawson1]

Well there is the cosmic microwave background radiation - what evidence do you have for god?
