Evolution is a lie - expert testimony

In light of the controversy about intelligent design i decided to ask my dog about it.

Me: “So, howdy. To get right to it, what do you think about evolution?”
Dog: “Ain’t no wolf in my family tree!”

Me: “Er, right. How would you answer critics of intelligent design then?”
Dog: “Are they calling me stupid? Where are they? I’ll show em how intelligently designed my teeth are!”

Me: (slightly patronising tone) “Dont you think its just a religious doctrine disguised as science? It lacks any of the rigour of a proper theory”
Dog: “Bah! Perhaps it lacks ‘rigour’ cos its so obviously true. Besides, we’re made in God’s image, so how does science explain that! Remember that “dog” is “god” spelt backwards. You tell me thats just a coincidence, eh?”

Me: (nervous laughter) “Yes yes of course”
Dog: “I mean how thick are these scientists anyway? Did something as complex as my waggy tail just pop into existence?”

The rest of the interview gets pretty technical, but as you can see, my dog raises some valid points. Maybe we should call this whole evolution thing off as a bad show?

Cheers!

Edit: Sorry, i seem to have posted this in mundane babble, could a mod please move it to natural sciences? I dont want people to mistake dog’s well reasoned arguments as complete and utter unscientific crap.

I take it you’re a silly evolutionist yourself.

So, considering that those crayons are quite complex and therefore they couldnt have occured naturally, are you saying my awesome intellect and dashing good looks are just some sort of freakish accident? I find that hard to believe.

Btw, vote jesus.

oreso, you are dead on. exactly bull’s eye. dunno why people dont reply to this thread but i will.and i raise this question here and now!:SHOULD THRUE RELIGION BE I HARMONY WITH SCIENCE?!

4

I would add the letter N to that question.

Thank you gentalmen, that will be my contribution to the thread. It was not a bad one, I mean my contribution.

:stuck_out_tongue:

As long as science functions as another type of religion, then science and religion will be in direct competition.

6

Too right. As it regards absolute certainty, faith in the scientific method is ultimately no different than religous faith.

GCT,

Have you read any of the works about science by Paul Karl Feyerabend? I would recommend reading them, if you have the chance.

8

well if science is a religion, then who is the omnipotent being behind it?
i mean,worshiping something that is not the true god is false,right?

9

The god of science goes by many names such as “Truth” or “the ways things really are.” Like any religion people try to get closer to their god.

10

my point though,is they would be worshipping something non-sentient.
like a pagan stone statue, all be it more valuable. i belive i heard somewere god is truth,or something similar that goes along with that, so if they TRUELY worship thruth,are they not worshipping god or searching for him? if indeed god created all things(which he did), he is the master of science as well,though religions through the centuries have been rediculus,indeed idiotic and thus do not support science; and in that same notion,when crusaders were killing hundreds,fighting in christs name when christ said"those living by the sword will die by the sword" and “love your enemys”;they were not supporting christ or god ether, but thier own interests, in fact.(plunder,fame,glory.)

Evolution blames random bullshit for life’s existance.
It’s a bit odd that random bullshit is also responsable for my existance in this world. Randomly combined genes in a random area and a random situation on earth.
Random this and random that. It is not very logical is it?
But then the… F****** “people” in so many religions claim th…
I mean, sorry…
They are so empty inside and just want something to believe in.
Smoking up the bong, believing in some kind of rationalization of a religion, or simply not careing, each has the same result: “Satisfaction”. Poor basterds… All I can do is love them.

So far, all paths lead to death. Some are fun, some are sad. Some are easy, some are hard. You know how I feel about “good”? It is the act of comforting someone as they are dieing. This is all of the “good” we ever do in our life. Life of the mortal: All things he does are limited and temporary. Such a bitter truth.

I can only hope that “science” “helps” this absurd mess of temporary mundane everything, even in part.

edit:

Then he created because he wanted to create.
He created what he wanted.
This “creation” then has a single and perfect will.
It reflects God’s power and his wisdom.

Some rabbits eat their own shit for example. Animals are sexually immoral and do not love their neighbor as themself. Also, God’s perfection and love can be seen when there are two baby eagles in a nest and one naturally kills the other.

And not only that, God is so merciful and can see all things, and is all mighty, so that If, for example, he wants us to be like him and do good things, he will give us the strength we need in order to stick our heads up our butts and eat our own shit.
Wait no,
maybe God’s all might and merciful ways will soon start a comprehencive rape prevention program? Or… maybe… some fuckin shit! You know? Like free bibles to poor people in developing countries who cant even fucking read and put faith in “Jesus” so that they can be “saved”.

Like, that nonsence about evolution wasn’t any good.
It makes WAY more sence that some white guy behind clouds made all kinds of shit everywere and then told it what to do.
It makes way more sense to make an Adam and an Eve, and then tell them not to eat a fucking plum, (maybe it was a fucking apple) and then curse them so that billions of people would die.
It was ok that Adam and Eve’s kids had to fuck eachother, insest is ok and it does not produce genetic mutation or birth defects.
Fossils of neanderthals 4.5million years ago didn’t fit into the garden of eden picture, but thats ok. After all, faith before fact. Insanity is the key to logic. It’s so amazing that just 1 book can solve all of humanities problems and provide “hope” for a “perminent solution”.

You see, when you use your son as a blood sacrafice, that counts as what we call “perfect justice”. It un-does the “sin” that God programmed our bodies to naturally commit.

It is so logical that I feel a lot of relief even knowing it.

“you get me closer to god”

yes indeed…

It’s far easier to believe in reason than in invisible beings that have merit on our lives after death.

Would you agree that it’s reasonable to give the power of god to science, as it’s the only reasonable means we have for explaining the world around us?

I think science and faith will eventually coalesce, research into the psychosomatic effect of praying or meditating, will be highly effective in developing god drugs for healing.

Evolution is a lie created by the liberal media to take people away from the Bible. Jesus wasn’t a monkey.

BandartheEnchanter:Evolution is a lie created by the liberal media to take people away from the Bible. Jesus wasn’t a monkey.

K: there have been literally thousands of peer reviewed
scientific papers showing that evolution is a fact. The vatican
itself on two separate occasions has said, evolution is a
scientific fact, 1912? or 1916? and 1996.

Do you any proof of any kind showing us anything different?

Nobody has ever called jesus a monkey.
But I shall right now, call him a man and only a man.
Nothing more.

Put up the evidence or shut up

Arrr! Evolution be a fine theory m’lads! Tis only one problem with it, arr!

…an’ tha’ problem lies deeep in the pool of dead chemicals m’hearties! Right at the so called, begining! Arr! Seek the treasure an’ yea’ shall find! Evolution works fine I say, fine, though it ain’t wher’ we begun our treacherous journey m’hearties! Tis why those damned scurvy I.D. basterds arr all over evolution, like a sailor on rum! Prepare tha’ gallows me mateys! We gots some good ol’ fashioned hangin’ teh get done!

Arr! arr! Arr!

Which is exatically why scientists are so confused by creationist arguments.

=D> =D> =D>

I must admit that I do find it very funny that a theory such as evolution which is so obviously incorrect (lack of evidence of transitional forms being the first problem) has gotten to the point of being accepted by the scientific community for political reasons…

Then, when people question the theory these same ‘scientists’ ignore the counterarguments and evidence to the contrary and accuse all critics of evolution of doing it for religious/political reasons.

Not to mention the ongoing labelling of ID as a creationist theory when it isn’t…

Ah yes, what a mess the scientific community has gotten itself into. And what nonsense is spoken about it by people from all sides of the discussion…

:cry: Arr! This sailor hast never agreed with any truer words written then those there! Yea’ be a true linguist m’heartie! :cry:

Though, thar be no proof o’ the following, nor any reason teh say it:

The words still may be true I say, m’hearties!
