From the same thread that FrankBeMe's quote is taken from:
I enjoy debating this topic. It is sometimes funny seeing the blank stares of people who find out I don't believe we come from goo.
But you have no problems believing that we come from dirt.
They tire of me quickly. I always ask if they believe the "big bang" theory. Of couse, they all say yes, so I immediately ask what went bang, what caused it to go bang, where did what went bang come from, did it make any noise when it went bang or was it more like a poof, and on & on. That's usually the end of conversation. My point being, if they can't confirm how the universe came into existance, then arguing about anything else is a moot point.
You start asking stupid questions and they see no point in discussing it further. Simple as that.
I would love more information to present to my brother who is an evolutionist by default( he claims to be an atheist, but I think he just thinks he's too intelligent to believe in God);
The last time we talked about it I asked him " Please tell me how a woodpecker evolved? he would have blown his brains out against a tree and never had a chance to evolve into a hardheaded bird..."
Only time he hasn't answered.
He's coming over Sunday....
Maybe because, no matter how intelligent and knowledgeable your brother might be, he can't answer each and every single question you pose to him? Ever thought of that?
[Also, anyone else getting the feeling that The Shogun is going to get banned soon?]
