Quote from peilthetraveler:
So I watched a little bit of it and the guy addressed the Christians premise of "complexity can only be created by design" (after making tons of jokes about it) by saying "thats not true" And the basic reason he said its not true is because Christians are using it as an arguement to further their agenda.
What if i said the premise of "the universe could only be created by the big bang" isnt true because atheist use that towards their agenda. What would you all say to me? You would call me stupid for such a lame argument. No one did that to him because he decided to start making fun of "complexity" for 2 or 3 minutes and get everyone laughing. If people start laughing at something for a few minutes, it doesnt matter what you say, they are not going to disagree with you when their weak argument comes out for fear of being laughed at.
Its amazing that you would think you were almost at a comedy club at one of these atheist conventions. People are not really there to learn, they are there to laugh. (not that people would learn anything true anyway.
