The Evangelical "War" on Science

[Stealth Hunter]

Those people scare me to no-end. Did you see how brainwashed those kids were? Evangelicalism and its followers are incredibly dangerous. They even have gone so far (as you saw in the YouTube video) to publish books to train evangelical followers how to counter people who believe in Darwin's scientific statement on evolution.

What freaks me out most is how 54 million people over 18 don't believe in it because of people like the older gentleman at the beginning who published the book "Answers in Genesis".

Got to agree with you. I love the great catch all "the bible says". I'm not religious but not bigoted either. Hell Darwin was a christian and believed in God he didn't find any incompatibility.

"If the Bible says it, it must be right!"

But the Bible was written by man, not by God.

So man holds the keys to the secrets of the universe? According to them, I'm right with that statement.:rotfl:

What idiots people can be.

I think the war on science is justifyed if they can prove that science has WMDs.

There is no thing so common to us all as the human propensity
for self deception.

I was reading about the Tower of Babel and how when God saw what people could achieve when they worked together gave them different languages and scattered them around the globe, looks like on jealous god and thus all his fault why we can't get on.

:rotfl: So that's where they went! I just don't understand why one would look for "scientific knowledge" in the Bible? It was never intended to be a science book.

Ironic that Babel, the symbol of human unity, saw so much fighting over the past years
since the invasion.

Then again, if we did build a tower of Babel; i.e. a building/device to physicaly reach
god, then I suspect someone would try to trap God and use him as a tourist attraction
or some other way to make a profit. Perhaps he was just erring on the side of caution.

:hmm: Yes it was.
At least it was intended to be the closest thing to science that people had at the time.

...at the time. It's amazing they even got past the round vs flat argument.

I just said this halibut was good enough for.....
oh nevermind:rotfl:

These kinds of fundamentalists anger me. They lie purpousfully and are nothing but hypocrites who make money off people who have not had proper science education. Taking any religious book literaly, concidering when it was written, causes endless problems in all walks of life.
I mean just look at what those people come out with.

Funny, and yet - so very damn true!

Well that does it for me, if I didn't have enough reason to dislike organised religion before, claiming that Dinosaurs (presumably including Barney) are created by God, is now swinging it for me.
