A thought on the people that came up with global warming & evolution

Quote from peilthetraveler:


Here is some more evidence for you to disect. A palentologist named Mary Schweitzer that discovered soft tissue in a t-rex fossil. ALL scientists believe that soft tissue can survive at most maybe 10,000 years.

I recall reading that story in Discover a couple years back. I followed your wikipedia link and subsequently looked at one of the articles cited there:

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/dinosaur.html


It is quite interesting and I suggest people read it.

You'll actually see that she is quoted as being "a complete and total Christian" including a quote from Jeremiah on her wall, but also that "she’s horrified that some Christians [ie, young-earth creationists] accuse her of hiding the true meaning of her data".

So the person that actually discovered and published on this soft tissue clearly doesn't believe that it is less than 10k years old.

Quote from phenomena:

So everyone should just remain stupid so they can be religious? That way they will be uncorrupted?

they always jump straight to the "religious people are stupid" square...

I'm religious, I'm a member of Mensa, I'm smart enough to find out what the underpinnings of a belief system are... and the current one being instilled in the hearts and minds of children everywhere is absolute bullshit...

They also always jump straight to the "religion versus science" square... it's bad science [bad assumptions, bad reasoning] versus good science [good assumptions, good reasoning]

In the Bible, God proves He's God by giving people prophecies of the far future... in the Universities they prove that they can't prove there is a god!! Brilliance like that is just stupid, no?

Quote from peilthetraveler:

Atheists usually come up with some zippy one-liners that are simplistic, so I thought I would give you one since atheists are always telling us Christians to "go read a book" or "go get an education" So here goes...

Knowledge = power

Power leads to corruption.

Therefore knowledge leads to corruption.


The more knowledgeable these scientists are, the more corrupt they are. How can you believe them then?

I am so embarassed for you. You are advocating anti-knowledge because it leads to corruption. You need your head examined. People like you are the reason bible thumpers are constantly ridiculed.

In the schools they use the Geologic Column and the Strata to build their evolution world view. They say they calibrate the Column by the Strata, and elsewhere they say they calibrate the Strata by the Geologic Column... that's circular reasoning that merits an "F" in Philosophy 101 [where they prove that they can't prove there is a god] but bags an "A" in Evolution class.... and for an encore they throw out all readings of instruments that don't fit their world view!! People did studies and 70-80% of all readings of the age of objects are thrown out...

Yikes.

Does that also mean Nostrodamus is god?

this is a fun topic.

Think about pay per view revenue for dragon riding.
It could crush MMA for a few shows.

I have to say, that I suspect the ice cores do show the earth is pretty damn old.

But I am intrigued by the dinosaur art.

This is some sort of mockery of Ecclesiastes 1:18, innit? Sadly, not quite the same elegance of expression or lyrical beauty to be found here...

Can I try to apply your logical method please?

Knowledge = Power

Power leads to corruption

God is All-Powerful (and All-knowing)

Therefore God must also be Corrupt.

You spend your entire life on atheist websites and looking for cute zippy quotes that make fun of Christians, and NOW you dont have time to examine the evidence? You seem to have plenty of time to examine evidence if its in your favor.

Here is some more evidence for you to disect. A palentologist named Mary Schweitzer that discovered soft tissue in a t-rex fossil. ALL scientists believe that soft tissue can survive at most maybe 10,000 years.

10,000 years? False. Here's some meat found in an old fish:

That's one way to spin it I suppose. The other is I'm not (necesarily) the one disputing them.

I am

I'm on the edge of my seat.

you are on the edge of your seat but you cant muster up the courage to type a few words in google?
well maybe its just me but if i saw something that made me curious about what the explaination could be i would be researching it. that is what intellectual curiousity is about.

Get over yourself, I already made it clear I don't care what the truth is, as long as it IS the truth.

Looks like you weren't too busy after all.
That certainly seems to discredit at least one of peil's points.
