This past spring I attended the R.A.T.E. conference in Bozeman, Montana. The research that they have done absolutely & totally debunks the theory of evolution!!! The problem is that most of the women at the R.A.T.E. conference didn’t understand 75% to 95% of what was said. I’d walk into the women’s bathrooms during the breaks & listen to the conversations. It was always, “Can you understand what he was saying?”, & the other one would reply, “No. Can you?”. And the first one would reply, “No! It’s way over my head!” [As for me personally, I have been studying Creation Science intently for about nine years & I could barely understand it! And at this point I definitely can’t regurgitate it!!]

So ... you have absolutely no idea what it is, but you are absolutely certain that, whatever it is, it's right?
Wow. Did they sell you any bridges, while they were at it?
So let me get this straight...you are claiming that a R.A.T.E. conference "absolutely & totally debunks" evolution...yet you also admit that you can barely understand what was said at the conference?
Good God, Wifey, that's just sixteen shades of shit stupid.
9 years wasted studying creation "science" and you still don't understand it? Thtat's because it doesn't make any sense. And how can you possibly justify a statement of evolution being debunked when you don't even understand what was said?
Don't project your ignorance onto the other women.

This just about says it all about creation science ("I barely understand it but it's right").
If you want to regurgitate it stick your finger down your throat and let it fall in a pile at your feat and you have just regurgitated the essence of creation science.
Regurgitated crap award?
Creation Science is an oxymoron, like Military Intelligence.
You fell for it because you're gullible and it reinforces your own biases.
Wishing for it to be true doesn't make it so. As has been pointed out many times before, if evolution had been disproved, it would be in all the scientific journals.
Furthermore, proving evolution false doesn't automatically prove creation true.
Wait a moment. So when a fundie can't understand evolution it means that it's false, but when a fundie likewise can't understand the purported debunking it means that it's good research that "absolutely & totally debunks the theory of evolution"?
How do you come up with this stuff?
John: Thanks for the wonderful link. That guy asking Baumgardner that extremely revealing question about his "double life" as a scientist must have elicited almost the same reaction in that crowd as a stench bomb. Brilliant! I hope someone has similar polite interrogatives for those guys at every stop on their tour. It's just a darned shame that there probably wasn't anyone from the media covering that particular session, darn it.

If you don't understand a conference, you don't belong there. Aside from that, creationism isn't science, what you were at was a religious retreat.
So you don't understand a bit of it, and yet you're convinced it debunks evolution?
They really did a number on you there.
nobody understood what was said because it was all nonsensical gibberish that means nothing.
If you can't impress them with knowledge, blind them with big words apparently.
So you understood nothing of what was said about Creationism which you claim to have studied for 9 years (is there really nearly that much material available being that the synopsis is 'goddidit'?), yet you know it debunks evolution though you likely have even less knowledge of that, being a legitimate scientific process that one could spend huge sums of time learning? It couldn't possibly be a case of you blindly accepting what you already believe in and rejoicing over the fact that there are enough idiots who share your idealogies to have a conference, could it?

You are the single favorite customer of every snake-oil peddler and faith healer who has ever lived.
... ... so she's saying... she doesn't understand a fucking word of it after 9 years (gee, wonder why, could it possibly be because its unscientific bull?) ... But she BELIEVES it?
Ok I'm GUESSING she's claiming women are too stupid to understand creation "science"?
... but... I'm not exactly sure that's an insult to women. "I can't figure out any of what that bullshit's supposed to mean" isn't exactly showing a lack of intellect...
Honestly... how is it that a 5 year old may not be able to do the math on the thing, but will be able to understand the concepts explained to him if you actually bother (kids are bloody curious until school, church and many parents beat it out of them) to explain properly...
And yet fundies raised in the bull can't even make heads or tails of it, yet STILL believe...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
