Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Big Times Kansas Rubes and high fives Darwin

I also believe that the notion of God and the notion of evolution are not mutually exclusive.

You can have God and have evolution.  You just can't have dinosaurs and a 5,000 year old planet.

Of "God" or "God(s)"?

There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth. No wonder god had to rest on that 7th day!

To say that the article proves anything is taking a dumbass home-school kids bullshit as gospel.  You have to agree with the author's assumptions and premise for it to make any sense.  But if you want to believe in a high school student that was sheltered and taught the world by professor mom, and not scientists, go ahead.

Agreed, but Bill Nye simply asks that the same kid doesn't raise his kids to believe that crap.

I like bill maher's idiot test of "do you believe in the talking snake?".   Much more simple than arcs and such.

My go to debate topic with the idiots around me in the south is always the Ark.


For real. Dude lives 600 years and builds a boat big enough to house a pair of EVERY type of animal on earth.  They even know where the boat landed and haven't found it.

Then of course I bring up black people and holy balls the  makes me LOL(literally laugh out loud in their faces).

I don't think we are debating whether the bible should be taken literally, but I'm sure that would be funny.

Unless it is the part about hating gay people.  That is to be taken very literally.

You can have God and have evolution.  You just can't have dinosaurs and a 5,000 year old planet.

You also can't have an all-loving God and hate gay people.

Don't you know? They hate the sin, not the person.  They want to save the person from eternal damnation in a fiery hell.  If they hated the person they wouldn't try to get them to change their ways and repent.

[OK_Cat]

yeah, if they hated the person then they wouldn't go out of their way to stand in line at a fast food joint to show that they hate them

I can assure you that you are not speaking for all of them right now.

Very little accounts of written history in the Bible, Quran or Torah can be corroborated with the written history of pagan civilizations during the same time periods. What does this tell you?

Also, nearly all monotheistic religions began by 1 man claiming to talk to an angel (who is talking to god), by talking to god himself, or by being god (or his son).

It was only later in these religions history that duality was accepted. (good vs bad). This most likely happened during the rise of Zoroastrianism.

Plus an all loving God can't hate Arabs and Mexicans too.

Fun fact, the leader of the Kansas Zoroastrian society is a friend of mine.

How many people can claim they know a Zoroastrian, let alone the leader of a Zoroastrian society? That's impressive.
