The Arrogance of the ID/Creationist Theists
Offline You know what really pisses me off about Creationists and IDers?
They sneer at science one minute, try their damnedest to 'refute' scientific theories, and in the next minute bastardize science in an attempt to create 'scientific proofs' for their deity.
They lie, misquote and misrepresent scientific facts simply to further their own silly agendas. I am certain that idiots like Comfort and Cameron have been TOLD time and again that evolution is not random, and that science doesn't say that the universe came from nothing. However, they're making millions of dollars off of telling people exactly what they want to hear, so any evidence will never be good enough for them.
But more than anything else, I hate the theist who pretends that he's a fucking expert in the fields of biology, chemistry, astronomy, history and genetics combined. The guy who shows up here, copies and pastes arguments from apologetics sites and insists over and over that he knows better than you do - because he read it somewhere on the internet. He's smarter than our historian, more educated than our psychology and philosophy majors, better versed in evolution that our biologists - because he's been to an apologetics website, or maybe watched some Ray Comfort videos on Youtube. Nothing makes me more furious than the armchair scholars who come here and parrot the ideas that have been fed to them(for only 19.99 BUY NOW! and we'll throw in some Jesus Saves bumper stickers!) by men who are getting filthy rich off of these deluded believers.
OKay, sorry.

hear, hear!
"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

Indeed.
I love your new avatar too by the way.

Definitely right on!
Nice post, Meagan.
Ugh!!!
It fucking kills me the straw men they set up.
There was a poster in a recent thread, something about cancer(I am sure you can figure out who I am talking about), that sent me over the edge with his shit. I literally wanted to crawl through the router and push his face into a science book.
Right on! Especially the Money aspect of guys like Comfort. Look at the new story about Ken Ham and his australian creationist wing.
"Those who think they know don't know. Those that know they don't know, know."
Would that be "Beam me across, Scottie"?

Something like that, if I could have shape shifted into a bunch of electrons and sent myself through the DSL line I would have done it. LOL
I agree, but with one addition. They claim also to be experts in their own religious texts (bible, koran, etc.) and yet most atheists know more about even these topics they do. It's not enough for them to pretend to be experts in a whole myrid of scientific topics they have to pretend to be experts in religion too.
Funny coincidence, I posted a very similar post about this topic a couple days ago. I feel the same way you do...frustrated.
The implication that we should put Darwinism on trial overlooks the fact that Darwinism has always been on trial within the scientific community. -- From Finding Darwin's God by Kenneth R. Miller
Chaos and chance don't mean the absence of law and order, but rather the presence of order so complex that it lies beyond our abilities to grasp and describe it. -- From From Certainty to Uncertainty by F. David Peat
Jesus himself told me in a vision how he learned about the evolution of humans just like he sent visions to Falwell before he became maggot meat. So I illustrated this vision sent straight to me from Jesus for all to see below. I swear on a stack of bibles it's twue, it's twue!
If there was a God, Man wouldn't have had to invent him [reversing Voltaire's famous quote].
Now now now, come on. Daddy gave us free will so the song "Jungle Love" could be written. CLASSIC ROCK!
Now here come the pollitically correct, "Dont pick on people's daddies".
Yea, maybe we shouldnt do that. All powerfull beings are so worried about finite humans hurting them.
"Hello humanity, this is your sky daddy(incert name here) I cant handle you pathetic losers picking on me. I'll beat the crap out of you if you dont stop."
Boo hoo, daddy dont want us picking on him. Boo hoo.
"My daddy will beat up your daddy". I'm so impressed with use of threats and censorship because someone has a fragile ego. NOT!

Don't forget the part where they make fun of intellectuals because they're arrogant. (you and your fancy books and schools) However, I'm sure if people keep telling you that you have no clue what you're talking about and science works nothing like they believe, the truth may sound like arrogance to them.
