Perhaps too many "Fintstones" reruns?:

"T-Rex … could be herded into a blind canyon and have rocks dropped on their heads from above. And they'd soon be done in."

I suspect the same technique would work with creationists.

"Human beings were smarter the further back we go in time because they have been less degenerated but the pollutants that we've been putting into the air, water, and soil," he said. "T-Rex … could be herded into a blind canyon and have rocks dropped on their heads from above. And they'd soon be done in."

The guy is PH.D. - but not in theology. His education is in kinesiology.
While this does make him qualified to discuss in some ways to discuss the possibility of evolution, it does not qualify him as a theologian.

He is entitled to his belief, however inaccurate others may see it.

Seems to me to simply be a "lets hate on creationists thread" - as so aptly demonstrated by andyjwest:

Yes andy - I suspect it would - just as it would for any other group that you could trap in a canyon and drop rocks on their head.

This kind of hatefulness has begun to run rampant in GT, and it is sad to see. I wonder - what kind of a storm would it have created if it had been some other religion that had come up with such a claim?

That's not how you do it.

Thanks for that.

You know you don't have to get offended. If you believe, it is of no significance so ignore it, or is your faith insecure?. I'm tired of every group having to be always offended by something. I don't care anymore.

I know folks swear by it but I for one find it hard to believe that a thousand people can represent the opinion of 300 million Americans with 95% accuracy.

Where's the :justacceptthatevolutionisreal: smiley?

Honestly, there's so much evidence out there for evolution, but very little against it. It's not like the existence of a God, which has very little evidence either way. In fact, at the Catholic school I go to, we learn that the garden of Eden was a myth. Which was quite a relief for me, seeing as up to that point I'd believed in both the garden of Eden and evolution

As far as I know, there is 0 evidence that contradicts evolution, as well as 0 evidence for or against the existence of entities that somehow exist outside physical reality. As the existing outside physical reality is a prerequisite for the idea of a creator god, it is completely unfalsifiable and therefore definitely not to be given elevated status above idle speculation, until a method of testing the hypothesis is hypothesised. Lets be fair, since all you have to do to achieve religion is simply believe in one or more of the 28 million or so gods hypothesised by humans in recorded history, all of which are unfalsifiable this speculation is intellectually idle unlike String/M theory, while it is clearly not 'idle' it is certainly still 'speculation' and nothing more.

@thread contributors

And if people want to post in GT to make jokes, or poke fun, however bad taste, as long as it does not contravene the site rules, where is the problem? Those crying out about hating are hating on people who like to have a laugh once in a while. Religious folks rarely realise the offense that their platitudes often cause, the insinuations of immorality or hubris, neither do they attenuate their regurgitation of scriptures (antiquated propaganda) to spare our feelings, so why on earth should we spare theirs? my skin is thick enough, you can laugh at my expense and I will feel happy that you find it amusing.

@those who are religious

Smells like the age old appeal for special treatment wherever religion is concerned to me. Not buying I'm afraid, not now, and not ever. You take your scrapes with the rest of us, be an adult (if you are able) and deal with it. This crying foul whenever someone makes a joke about ID, creationism, God, your religion, another religion is a detestable result of people pandering to your demand that whatever it is be placed on a pedestal of immunity against scientific scrutiny above all, but humour as well?

I think you missed your stop.
