Smithsonian: How to Talk with Evangelicals about Evolution

That's not their only problem.

Apparently.

They abuse language. Play stupid semantic games, try to change word meanings.

It's necessary that way, to get anyone to listen to their bullshit.

They can't just come out and admit the simple truth, they can't just say "it's a matter of faith". Instead they have to claim "truth", so they cross over into science and math and other places where authority lives.

Because they're fundamentally insecure in their own faith. That's where this stuff comes from. Deep down inside, there is doubt.

Whereas real science is exactly the opposite. Doubt is not an issue for scientists. There are OTHER issues, to be sure, but doubt isn't one of them.

Exactly. It’s called
“ faith” for a reason. In many people they have been suspending reality for such a long time, it’s easy to jump to conspiracy theories in other topics.

My drummer friend has a dog that's so smart, you can tell it what color socks to fetch. You say "go get the socks" and it brings back a pair, then you can say "no, not the blue ones, the red ones" and it'll go get the red ones. It's just a scruffy little mutt like me.

The mutts are always the smart ones. A great argument for cross breeding, in people as well as pets.

Do you honestly believe we could understand how the entity called God created the universe if He chose to explain to us the scientific details? We barely have a grasp of quantum mechanics and the creation of the universe or the many universes probably involves physics far beyond that which we comprehend today.

Plus if God did tell us how to create a universe you can bet we would take some of that knowledge and use it to develop weapons that we would employ to destroy ourselves and possibly this planet if not the entire solar system or maybe even the galaxy.

We lack the maturity to handle the processes involved in creating a universe.

Vladimir Putin's nuclear tsunami: It's called Poseidon - a giant torpedo that could travel thousands of miles undetected before swamping cities with radioactive waves. No wonder fears over the Russian threat are growing, writes TOM LEONARD​

Vladimir Putin's nuclear tsunami

TOM LEONARD: The Poseidon 2M39 torpedo would set off a chain of deadly radioactive tsunamis that would smash into towns and cities leaving them uninhabitable for decades.

Of course we could understand it. He/she is god. It’s much harder for we simpletons to communicate with each other than it is for a god to pass on his thoughts and deeds. He/she’s god. Ever notice ? God has stopped talking to the “people” of faith using word of mouth as soon as we developed reliable communications and retention means. “Jesus”, a cell phone would be a very reliable and easy way for god to talk to everyone in their own spoken language, instantaneously. Obviously, god isn’t up to the task. Or, hasn’t taken advanced math and physics. He lacked engineering skills.

Godless libs cant stand the fact that people of faith exist

Geesus, it’s not that you exist that bothers us. It’s that you want govts to rule over us using decisions based upon made up shit. Iran is an example. They are governed more by faith. We, supposedly separate church and state. Sorry, Christianity is not the answer. None is the answer.

Yep.

They can't lift their faith based beliefs out of the muck. So instead they try to vandalize actual knowledge, to drag it down.
