Default Creationist Explains How Humans Could Have Hunted The Tyrannosaurus Rex

Perhaps too many "Fintstones" reruns?:

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

"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?

Amen to that

Ok, here's the deal. I'll apologise for mocking creationists when they stop insulting the intelligence of the rest of us with their nonsensical arguments.

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.

Here's another deal: Why not go mock them in their own forums rather that waste space here? I will cheerfully debate them here if they want, but dragging someone else's ideas here just to mock is cheap, low and petty.
