I am ashamed to be a part of the same species as the people who believe this steaming load.

Is it unbelievable that people are that stupid? Not really.

Maybe they're insane. Don't feel bad. At the very least, you can be not ashamed that you're an Aspie, not an NT, if you are one.

are they trying to make evolution part of god's plan? (which i'm ok with... least they're trying!) cause that's what adaptation is a mechanism for.........

i LAWLed most at their grasp on plate tectonics.... they're depending on a true concept (landmasses do move)... but again, they are totally skullF***ing the timeline of events (much like they do in the young earth theory)... are we to sustain the belief that a process proven to take geological eons happened "super fast" only ONE TIME for the sake of Noah?

cause by all accounts scientific... i doubt the land masses were in that formation during the time of Noah... and IF they were... they sure as heck moved to present day formation quickly and have since stopped with the highspeed shennanigans.

hopefully the stupids will keep breeding with the stupids and the smarts with the smarts... and some day we may hopefully evolve past this problem!

Agreed. There is little point of sending them anything. With no line of reasoning whatsoever, all you are doing is offering them a platform which is essentially what they are looking for.

I happen to think this might be a hoax or misinformation. At least denialists would not leave themselves so committed to logical fallacies without some sort of counter argument however weak.

Also I think the 'letters' that have been sent in and selected are also pretty poor. I wouldn't fall into the trap of being tired down to the false conditions of the person who zero credence in the first place. Selecting one or two holes is not going to make much difference.

You just have to accept that people will believe anything that suits them. It is not really a question of being stupid it is a question of reality.

I never did attack the logic of the Bible in this way. But I guess many of the stories was a bit far off. One could only assume that god gave a helping hand by controlling he universe around him.
