Q u o t e:
Give evolutionists the floor for one century and they act like they've always ahd it and it's their right. Sorry Charlie, your days are numbered. 10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to.

And I say to you, good sirs, that a mere 10 years hence, God willing, this whole concept of a spherical earth that moves through the heavens will be found as utterly ludicrous and deserving of the harshest mockery as that idea, lately held by our forefathers, the Hellenistic Greeks, that the sky rests upon the shoulders of the Titan, Atlas. This I say to you, my kind audience. Here is my Holy Scriptures; I pledge my troth thereby that this shall come to pass, so help me God.
Evolution has been 'on its last leg' for over 150 years. And yet, though the great-grandchildren of people who have made that claim have come and gone, the TOE has not disappeared. Far from it, it has more evidence than ever and support from fields such as geology and genetics. Rest assured that if the human race disappears tomorrow and 10 million years from now another intelligent species rises up, they will rediscover evolution in pretty much the same form we have now. Evidence tends to be pesky like that.
"Give evolutionists the floor for one century and they act like they've always ahd it and it's their right."
Kind of like how young-Earth creationists claim that they've been around for ever, and they've only been around as long as evolution?
Some of us can't get rid of the good old sentimental "backwards and ignorant".
Porscha, do they give you a nifty hat to wear when you take your place in the Diorama of Stupid?
"Sorry Charlie, your days are numbered. 10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to."
Someday we're going to have proof!
Then we'll disprove you!
Then you'll be wrong!
Well, you haven't got proof now.
"10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to."
Yup, in fact some of you held to the theory long after evidence had amassed that it was completely bogus because it fitted with your interpretation of your holy book.
Of course, when the evidence pile was too high for anyone to ignore, you suddenly 'realised' that the bible had said the Earth was round all along, hence proving itself superior to all those 'stupid scientists' who hadn't figured it out it until recently.
We're not quite there yet, but in another hundred years I expect all but the slowest fundie will be haughtily pointing out vague passages that 'prove' that Christians had known about evolution all along and science is 'yet again' playing catch-up.
Yet somehow the bible never actually predicts any scientific advance until long after the advance is made by ordinary means. Funny that.
"10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to."
Yeah, ok. And maybe in another 10 years we'll all get along and have no more world poverty, war or disease.
that 'evolutionist' century has given us planes, spaceships, satellites, computers, the internet, TV, radio, modern medicine and a whole lot of other shit every god fearing century before it put together couldnt touch.
"Far more intelligent societies than this one have believed in God"
Yes. But they also believed in things that, despite their intelligence, were wrong. Appeal to tradition just doesn't work...
"assume every society before ours was backwards and ignorant."
So, in support of slavery, gender inequality, geocentric theory, and pedophilic relationships all of a sudden? Just because a society was right about some things does NOT make it right about EVERYTHING.
"10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to."
The irony burns me.
You seem to think that Evolution is the deluded concept that didn't hold up to a reality check, like the Four elements.
...while the Bible is the fact-based concept that conquered the world, like the Round earth.
In fact, the Bible didn't accidentally get it right, like the idea of the Atom.
It's an old idea that was ruled out by simple experiments, like the idea that heat was a substance.
World of Wankers is getting like Crapture Ready.
Tell me again, how come this 150 year-old theory is being confirmed by the latest high-tech research, namely, DNA analysis? And what does that say about its purported lifespan?
"Charlie, your days are numbered. 10 years from now evolution will be laughed at just as hard as the flat earth theory we once held to."
1. You DO realize that this is almost word-for-word what fundies have been saying for more than 150 years? That 10-year plan of yours just keeps getting longer.
2. During these last 150 years, the evidence in favor of evolution has continually gotten stronger, while the few challenges against it have all been soundly disproved. Evolutionary theory is now considered one of the best-supported theories in all the sciences, right up there with Newton's and Einstein's work. Good luck knocking THAT down.
It isn't going to happen, but let's suppose it would be possible to upend more than a century and a half of science and prove evolution to be incorrect. What then? Listen very carefully, Porsha: it would do absolutely NOTHING toward proving the existence of god or the accuracy of either of the biblical creation stories. Nothing. Not at all. Nada. Zip. You would still be faced with the problem that you have ZERO evidence for your favorite mythology.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
