I copied/pasted this from another site a while back on my blog. What this guy did is pretty funny.

by bef
"My recent experiences have shown that Creationists will believe pretty much anything, so long as it’s not vaguely scientific or logical.

I put in a call to the Word of Faith Christian Center and spoke to a lady who immediately shared my concern when I told her that I had recently heard news of scientists who were creating a magnetic field to stop Jesus from returning to Earth. We prayed together that these scientists be stopped and that atheism be crushed with the full force of God’s hand.

In another call to the Word of Faith Christian Center, I spoke with a man who seemed confused, at first, when I told him that Barack Obama had just admitted to being a Muslim and performing the Salaat, as he hadn’t heard anything about it.
I then told the man that I was calling from Perth in Western Australia, and the conversation went as follows;
“you’re a day ahead of us.. do you guys get news before us sometimes?”
“uh, yeah..”
“so we’ll be hearing about this later? oh what a tremendous revelation that we were deceived!”
Since it had only just happened in Australia (which is “in the future”), he prayed a preventative prayer to stop it happening in the United States.

Creationists, unwilling to accept the fact of evolution, yet willing to believe that the Earth is a giant time machine."

Hmm... this is still not as awesome as the creationist who argued that if evolution is true, we'd have a spare sexual organ.

Something like "What if we'd lose one in an accident? When we wouldn't be able to reproduce". :lol:

I tried to find the exact thread, but came up empty-handed.

Here are some of the threads the particular poster have posted regarding evolution, though. Makes for a good read. :lol:

Here's one thread:

Quote:
Why aren't there eyes in the back of my head? This would aid my survival since I could see enemy coming towards me from the rear. Yet we look at the animals and overwhelmingly they're blessed with eyes from our cretor yet none in the back of our heads.

I guess those animals which evolved eyes in the front and back of their heads got selected out... in preference of animals with eyes only in the front of their head. Yes that makes perfect sense. Go evolution!

and why not eyes on my knees so I can better see where I'm walking so I don't fall down holes or something

oh that alleged evolution process failed in that respect also

LOL! that's hilarious. I'd love to ask him why he thinks God would create creatures so imperfect to not have another eye at the back of their head hehe. evil, evil god.

I bet this guy uses the banana argument :wink:

Problem is the vast majority of people who don't believe in Evolution know nothing about it, besides the strawman version their preacher told them or they read about in a book by someone else who knew little or nothing about it (or wrote dishonestly.)

actaully on the bumble bee, the found out it can fly, because the way it flaps its wings creates enough force, the origanal guy who did the math forgot to add in the fact of the wing's motion.

oh, so the flying spaghetti monster spawned you? I came about after billions of years of slow evolution, something you never had, when amino acids mixed and produced a self replicating life form.

Evolution doesn't deal with how life started, cosmology does. Criticizing evolution for not answering that is like criticizing the theory of gravity because it doesn't explain how to make a ham sandwich.

also, theory in science means something different then theory in common usage, like god is a theory.

Yeah for some reason people with barely an 8th grade understanding of science think they know more than PhD's who have been studying it for decades.
