This much I know-Just as the blood in our veins is blue until it recieves oxigen, the inside of a watermelon has no color until it is exposed to light. In the absence of light everything is colorless. So to we don't understand without light. Genesis that creatures in the water, birds, and man were created, beasts and creeping things were made, plant life simply came forth. There were 3 different processes at work. To say God created everything is simply not true; the Bible makes no such claim.

Blue .... blue ....
goddammit.... open your veins and have a look before you open your mouth.
Hint: those pinky thick ones in your neck are the best.
or ...
you might be an earthworm ,... in that case ... yes your blood would be blue, but for most humans blood is bright red when it contains oxigen ... without it's brownish red.
(and it's the iron in your blood that gives it it color ... ever seen blue rust ?, no ?? thought so , idiot)
You know, I was going to laugh this off as just another piece of fundie nonsense, but then I read the first sentence fragment again and I must say he's stumped me.
He KNOWS it. Blood is blue, watermelons are colourless and stuff just sorta happened after God created the heavens and the earth. This much he knows.
Obviously, nobody can argue with that.
In the absence of light everything is colorless.
Even in the absence of light an object will still retain the specific properties that cause it to reflect light in certain wavelengths. Therefore an object retains its color even in pitch black conditions.
Genesis that creatures in the water, birds, and man were created, beasts and creeping things were made, plant life simply came forth.
This sentence makes absolutely no sense.
"...the inside of a watermelon has no color until it is exposed to light ..."
And, doncha know, all the stuff in your refigerator has no color when the door is closed and the light is off. It's a scientific fact!
And I *know* that emeralds are blue until they are examined, at which moment they become green.
It's true! Have a look. Every green emerald you see just proves it more! :)
"the inside of a watermelon has no color until it is exposed to light."
Someone has filtered a past (legitimate) scientific question - whether observation changes what is observed - through a retarded fundie mind.
"To say God created everything is simply not true;"
I agree, but I imagine you haven't tried that line out on Rapture Ready or Teens4Christ.
No, objects have an inherent color.
And, the rest of your ... ideas... Don't make any sense at all.
You are a Tau, my good sir.
Please wait while I call the Imperial Guard, okay?
Good.
Everything in your statement is wrong. It is so wrong, I no longer believe light even exists. In fact, I don't know how we're having this dialogue, because words have just lost all meaning.

Correct, however, the reasoning
"the Bible makes no such claim"
is Fail.
Well, I'll give him credit for one thing:
Human veins, when visible through the skin, DO have a bluish color.
Everything else he says is pretty much nonsense, though.
"In the absence of light everything is colorless."
Wow! So if I turn the light off in my room, I become black and white?
Is this the reason for black and white TV -- there was just no light back then?
"To say God created everything is simply not true;"
You're getting somewhere...
This is less fundie and more batshit.
"In the absence of light everything is colorless."
That's pretty profound. Here's another one - the sky isn't really blue! The earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters the blue light. Grass isn't really green! Molecules including chlorophyll absorb all the light that hits it except for blues and yellows, so it only 'looks' green. Similarly, blood isn't really red - it only absorbs all the light that hits it, except for red.
Reminds me of the Zen (I think) puzzle: If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear, does it make a sound?
Or the tee shirt offering: If a man speaks and there is no woman there to hear, he is still wrong.
I laughed and I am male.
Just as the blood in our veins is blue until it recieves oxigen, the inside of a watermelon has no color until it is exposed to light.
Way to totally miss the point of the watermelon argument.
To say God created everything is simply not true
I'd even go further and to say that God created anything is simply not true.
@Helena
VenomFangX recently tarted out this same watermelon bullshit. I wonder where they are getting it.
VenomFangX doesn't actually know anything. All his videos are either bits of rehashed Kent Hovind stand-up or readings from answers in genesis.
They certainly aren't thinking it up for themselves.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
