Creationism is a mental illness (Page 222) zeffur: re: "BSr: that book is made up of all sort of imagined stories of bronze aged nomadic tribes of shepherds without any "quite valid" scientifical knowledge" And yet more than half of the people of the world accept it as true. And the fraud of evolution is being torn to shreds day by day & put to the wayside as more people realize that it is an unverified pile of rubbish without ANY sound basis to it whatsoever & along with it the insane & devious atheists who shake their fists at the God that they pretend does not exist... (Edited by zeffur) ghostgeek: More than half the world? Does that include all the Muslims who claim the Jews and Christians distorted the originally-revealed words of God? BelgianStrider: Well 90% of the world is convinced "evolution is quite valid and trustful". That is already a little more than 50% and 80 % of your 50% world population that "believe" in that book are convinced that it should not be taken litterally. ( What means they also confirm and are convinced that those stories in that old book are indeed made up ) (Edited by BelgianStrider) zeffur: re: "gg: More than half the world? Does that include all the Muslims who claim the Jews and Christians distorted the originally-revealed words of God?" While muslims do claim to believe in the God of Abraham, I think the koran & islam are both a fraud. Nevertheless those are people who believe in God. (Edited by zeffur) ghostgeek: They may believe in Allah but they most definitely don't give a rat's turd for the Bible. ghostgeek: Old Zeff told us 90% of the world does NOT believe in evolution but if they were educated properly that percentage would drop to less than 5%. Doubtless true. TheloniousSphereMonk: Zefturd.... don't forget that millions of believers in God also accept evolution. A number that is growing rapidly. TheloniousSphereMonk: ....and don't forget that, when looking at the numbers of Christians in the world that the stats include what one would call "nominal" Christians. The number of nominal (as opposed to practicing) Christians is as high as 90% in some countries. These are people that will get married in a particular church, but otherwise never attend and will identify themselves with a particular church on a census form. Generally speaking, however they give little thought to religion and don't give a rats ass what the Bible says. zeffur: re: "TSM: ...don't forget that millions of believers in God also accept evolution." Most people actually know very little about evolution. If they were properly educated most of them would have great contempt for evolution, those who shill for/promote it, & call for evolution to be eliminated from the education systems around the world, due to it being nothing but sophistry. (Edited by zeffur) TheloniousSphereMonk: I think you have it backwards there. The correlation is actually the higher educated the more likely to accept. And you know nothing about evolution yourself so you so have no reference point by which gage what people who are properly educated in it would think. zeffur: Properly educated is not the same thing as the indoctrination that you think of... As usual, you know nothing... BelgianStrider: "zeffur: Properly educated is not the same thing as the indoctrination that you think of... As usual, you know nothing..." BelgianStrider: I am quite lucky and extremely happy that I am not "properly educated" as Z. I am quite certain that 90% of the world population would feel the same, when seeing how "properly educated" Z is. BelgianStrider: "BelgianStrider: I am quite lucky and extremely happy that I am not "properly educated" as Z. I am quite certain that 90% of the world population would feel the same, when seeing how "properly educated" Z is. " Z's reply "zeffur zeffur: re: "BSr: I am not "properly educated"..." That ^ is obvious to everyone. " (Edited by zeffur) Z shows here clearly that he is even not able to completely read a very simple phrase; nor undestanding it and that calls himself "properly educated". (Edited by BelgianStrider) TheloniousSphereMonk: They do the same thing in the creationist literature all the time Belgian, dishonestly take quotes out of context. BelgianStrider: Well Z always claims he is never dishonest, so the "only" conclusion is: he can not read and can not understand what he is reading, thus so "properly" is his "education". We surely can not exclude that Z might be dishonest too. zeffur: re: "TSM: They do the same thing in the creationist literature all the time Belgian, dishonestly take quotes out of context." Actually, atheists do that ^^ all the time. And when that doesn't work, they just tell baldfaced lies. Take the recent discussion in BS's faith forum regarding Euthyphro's false dilemma--TiU & BSr continued to misrepresent the truth over & over & then when it finally dawned on them that they were just being dumb & dishonest, neither one of them would acknowledge the truth that they are wrong & being dishonest. They made the same false statement repeatedly--even after I explained to them repeatedly why they are wrong... Just incredible stupidity & dishonesty from both of them--classic atheist punk tactics... (Edited by zeffur) BelgianStrider: Btw misquoting someone is considered to be totally dishonest.
