Atheistic Design Deniers (ADD) are kind of like a tribe that finds cars in the jungle, but has never seen, and refuses to accept that cars are built in a factory. They might say that the "science demands" that we accept the "fact" that cars evolved from pigs. Only the weak-minded believe in a car company because they read it in a manual. Their ancestors wrote that manual to enslave our tribe to belief in the skygods! Are we that much more advanced?

If it came with a manual I'd accept it was designed in a factory. But the bible doesn't tell tell us about antibiotics or machine tools or engineering, chemistry, physics...I could go on all day but the bible isn't a manual on humanity or our origins or the world around us.
wow i have to say this is new in the dumbest analogies department
tubewatch.. i think you need to smacked in the head with a tube for saying something so fucking dumb as "science demands that we accept that cars evolved from pigs"
you have no clue what evolution is much less how it works
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a member of a jungle tribe that has suddenly found a Camry abandoned, fully-fueled, and fully-operational in a clearing.
However.
If this Camry came with an instruction manual that had helpfully been translated into my own jungle language, and following the instructions caused the car to react in the ways described in the manual, I'm pretty sure you could get me to believe that Toyota Motor Corporation of Toyota, Japan really had produced it.
Now, from the Bible, let's see if we can force pi to be 3. Hmm...
Only the weak-minded believe in a car company because they read it in a manual.
What if the manual was written by dozens of authors who spoke several different languages over a period of a thousand years or more who often confused basic terms for parts, incorporated bizzare rituals for cranking it, it was poorly translated, it stated as fact that Hentry Ford made the first jungle car out of dirt and wood by the force of his will, that Ford Company slaughtered Chevy and all of it's employees to acquire their factory, and that Henry Ford would return at the end of time to consign anyone who drove a foreign car to eternal hellfire, then destroy the world and remake it into a giant Ford plant?
...But I know that car factories exist. I can see car factories. So I know that cars come from car factories.
-YOU- claim people come from an invisible god on a non-interference kick. I can't see a god. I can't see any kind of effect an invisible but still there god can produce that natural conditions can't.
Analogy fails.
Just in case you didn't know:
1. Cars don't give birth to baby cars. I park my station wagon and my sports car in the same driveway, and they still refuse to get it on and have babies.
2. Car manuals have useful and verifiable information. They don't include two mutually contradictory stories about how the car was built, nor do they say that brake problems can be fixed through prayer and anointing.
"Fundies are kind of like a tribe that finds cars in the jungle, but has never seen, and refuses to accept that cars are built in a factory. They might say that their "religion demands" that we accept the "fact" that cars were created by God.
except you know, that a manual for a car usually gives accurate information on how the car works and how to run it and the information can be demonstrated to be accurate. The Bible can often be demonstrated to be wrong, and even when it can't, it can't be demonstrated to be accurate.
1. Cars don't give birth to baby cars. I park my station wagon and my sports car in the same driveway, and they still refuse to get it on and have babies.
Well that's obvious isn't it? You can't expect to get babies from a station wagon and a sports car. They are two different species for a start. Trade in your station wagon for another sports car and then try it.
2. Car manuals have useful and verifiable information.
For the most part. But then so does the bible. For example there really was a Roman Empire and a place called Bethlehem.
They don't include two mutually contradictory stories about how the car was built, nor do they say that brake problems can be fixed through prayer and anointing.
No, but the utterance of special "curse words" can help make a cold engine turn over. There are also little universal prayers used by drivers to make the gas fumes in their tank last a little longer, or to change traffic lights from red to green.
Pffffftt I believe no such balderdash.
I know the great Henry Ford in the sky spake "Let there be flivver" waaaay back in 19 and 32 and wished the automobile into existence. Ford is the only True car. There were none before, and there has been no evolation of models, all were created exactly as they are now. Those who falsely believe on Louis Chevrolet or Ransom E. (there's a name for ya!) Olds are heretics and blasphemers, and will wind up in Pic-A-Part (down below) where they will be crushed and dismantled forever and ever and ever . On July 30th, in a milennia coming "soon" I will be restored, and dwell in His bicycle repair shop forever. He gave up his son, Edsel, for this, on the (model) T.
Found one in the jungle...
evolved from pigs...
hahahahaha
so silly.
“Atheistic Design Deniers (ADD) are kind of like a tribe that finds cars in the jungle, but has never seen, and refuses to accept that cars are built in a factory.”
that’s a piddle-poor analogy. You and I know cars are made in a factory, because we’ve seen the factories. People we know work in the factories. there’s plenty of evidence of factories. Maybe not for this tribe, but someone has it.
We keep asking for this evidence of intelligent design and we get bupkes.
“They might say that the "science demands" that we accept the "fact" that cars evolved from pigs.”
Only if we have evidence that cars evolve, for one thing. Got any?
Can you stretch the analogy that far or is this just namecalling?
“ Only the weak-minded believe in a car company because they read it in a manual.”
Manuals are published by the actual manufacturer. The bible is not actually printed by God. Another fail.
"Their ancestors wrote that manual to enslave our tribe to belief in the skygods! Are we that much more advanced?”
Cute story.
Now.
Do you have any positive evience of your god?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
