Creationism is a mental illness (Page 117)

ghostgeek: Yes, I hear he was partial to a can of soup when he wasn't chewing on a Brillo pad.

kittybobo34: Achilles is right the things we see with a telescope, is evidence of a big bang, not proof..

There are other ideas like the world is resting on giant turtles, or a great alien scientist programmed the physical laws.... those might be evidence of mental illness.

Fractured fairy tale: Why do people. Need proff any way.
So some ome believes something different big deal. Wasn't that the Whole preamice behind Freedom. Or is it owning a gun So you can force others to accept your beliefs.
Better not open that can of worms
lol

ghostgeek: I never got that giant turtle thing. What was at the bottom of the stack?

ghostgeek: Without being grounded by the need to provide proof, eggheads are liable to dream up sparkling theories that have about as much validity as the Tooth Fairy.

kittybobo34: Ghost,, Jeees man didn't they teach you anything in school, the turtles are on the backs of elephants.

ghostgeek: Dare I ask, what are the elephants standing on?

MJ59: The elephants actually stand on the back of the Great Turtle A'tuin!

ghostgeek: Right, got it, so now the sixty-four thousand dollar question. What is the Great Turtle A'tuin standing on?

ghostgeek: Some days I feel as if we live in a world without answers, only questions.

MJ59: A'tuin swims thru space, silly! lol

Read Terry Pratchett

ghostgeek: Why can't we go back to believing in a flat earth?

AchillesSinatra: It sure looks flat.

MJ59:

See...it's flat! lol

ghostgeek: Oh dear, that didn't help. Now I'm wondering what stops the water disappearing over the edge of that, there disk?

AchillesSinatra: Pfft! Haven't you been to Niagara Falls?

ghostgeek: I decided not to after seeing some old film that made out it was all rather wet.

TheloniousSphereMonk: Bald-face lying (creationism) isn't considered a mental illness. There's a difference between expounding delusional beliefs and knowingly lying. Believing that a God created everything is not creationism. Creationism is anti-evolution and the mountain of lies engineered to cast doubt upon evolution. Any Creationist that has debated this topic online for more than a day has been alerted to the lies and knows it.

kittybobo34: And now the creationists have whole libraries dedicated to the anti science, propaganda.

MJ59: Yeah, but they're RIGHT....genesis ok?? ffs

ghostgeek: I bet the creationists still use their phones, even though they're not mentioned in the Bible.

kittybobo34: Even though those phones are based on unproven science, opinions and fantasy.

ghostgeek: Yes, the confounded things are totally without foundation but they work. Must be a miracle.

MJ59: Deny science, use it every day.....seems legit

JacquesTrappe: creationism is out of a false dichotomy tho, therefore immedietly suspect
