"No evidence these fossils exist," he says.
Look, Peachy, millions of fossils are cleverly hidden in plain sight, on display in museums and rock shops. And if that's not enough for you, go take a look at a limestone streambed or lakeshore sometime; it's often hard to avoid stepping on the blasted things.
Lord_Peac may have made a visit to the museum where I volunteer. Someone told me he saw a father with a group of kids near the minerals and thought the kids might like to see the dinosaurs nearby. "Oh, we don't believe in dinosaurs." What's worse, this group was being home-schooled!
"D'oh!"
What can one say to a response so bizarre, so surreal, so utterly wrong, except, Aaarrrrrhhhhhggggg!

So what am I hitting you with?
I'd guess the answer will be something in the line of "With your ghastly daemonic powers, infidel!" :-)
I would say a Captain Obvious Award will be fitting?

I do know about it. You have to prove that something is true in order for others to accept it. So far, you haven't proved the Bible yet. Its just a book written by chauvinists, dammit.
Wiki linking is FUN!
@Beast:
> Look, it is a museum of natural history. Yes, a museum is a big building with things in it. You pay a small fee to go inside and marvel and awe at all the fossils!
And that is indeed a good start, but here in South Kensington we have perhaps the finest natural history museum in the world.

And you don't even have to pay to get in. No, not even Americans have to pay -- it's generously funded by the British taxpayer. Though obviously we'd appreciate it if you spent a few tourist dollars in the pub over the road before fucking off to eat your shitty McCrapBurger in Stratford-upon-Avon whilst slowly writing out a postcard to your grandma saying how quaint real theatre is.
[Breath in, breath out] Sorry. Better now.
It's not really fossils, but I have several pieces of amber jewelry with prehistoric seeds and insects in them. As they were not extremely expensive, there must be lots of more important findings in amber beads elsewhere.
I have seen fossils with my own eyes, in the Museum of Natural History in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Casual, of the cuff, trained fundie response to the presence of real evidence. They have none, so they demand absolute proof as a counter.
Ya know what? We don't have to prove anything when you refuse to recognize facts. Ignorance is not bliss unless you want to be stupid.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
