:lolYeah, I don't know what's more distinguished mentally-challenged people thinking the Earth is only 6,000 years old, or people thinking birth control is wrong.
Just laugh at him; its all you can do for people like that.
Science is negligible to these people. Put bleach in his Mountain Dew and call it a day.

I honestly don't get why you care what he thinks? He has a different opinion, as long as he's not picking fights with you, just let him be if he's really your friend.

If he's not rubbing it in your face and he's content with what he believes in, who are you to tell him differently? You can make your point, sur. But when you're like "oh man, i just have to fucking convince him" you're not "helping" him. You're trying to make him feel like a moron, no matter how pretty you want to paint it.I honestly don't get why you care what he thinks?

Real friends would help each other to see correctly.
You're right, I wouldn't be his friend. But I would like to mock him for his own ignorance.YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT.

While I'm certainly not about to claim the earth is not 6,000 years old, I also think it's hilarious anytime scientists try and make claims about things that happened zillions of years ago. To me, it's every bit as amusing as someone denying the earth is over 6,000 years old.

Why is it so amusing? Do you think it's amusing when astronomers claim that the sun is 4.5 billion years old?

But I find it amusing because so often scientists admit they're wrong, and what they thought just a few years ago was actually not the case. So while I'm not disputing we certainly have learned a lot about the world and the universe in the past 100 years, I also take a skeptical look at much of it as well.
(also i am not an atheist.)
so basically, you distrust science because it admits mistakes and works to rectify them, but you buy fantasy explanations wholesale? the fuck?

Nope. See, you're still approaching all conversations with me with the belief that I'm a hardcore religious guy or something. I have plenty of skepticism about religions.
Re-read my last reply in this thread. I clearly stated both science and religion deserve some skepticism. I guess to a rabid atheist that statement doesn't go far enough, so I'm automatically a Jehovah's witness. ::)
Juuuuust like when I say "Damn, those Iraqi politicians sure are taking forever to agree on oil sharing", and I'm labeled a redneck republican, who loves President Bush, and loves all his Iraq war ideas.
If I'm not on your extreme side of an arguement, I must be on the other extreme opposite side of that arguement. Great logic fellas. Great logic.
maybe if they'd written those geological estimates in the bible 2000 years ago he wouldn't be so skeptical!Science is the new religion. Dawkins is your pope and evolution is the new transubstantiation. I'm skeptical. YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!
You've yet to support your stance in any way at all. "I don't believe either. I'm skeptical about both." You've reiterated the same thing twice with no reason for it. Grats.so basically, you distrust science because it admits mistakes and works to rectify them, but you buy fantasy explanations wholesale? the fuck?

Support hisposition. With what? Evidence, observation, logic, equations, tests? What is this science?You've yet to support your stance in any way at all. "I don't believe either.

The child hid behind a large tree, yet she knew it was a worthless pursuit; no matter where she hid, he would know. Eventually the child stuck her small leg from behind the tree. As her leg came into view, the man at the far end of the park raised his eyes. He took in her view, glaring at her small legs. He had seen them many times before, yet even now he gave a knowing smile.
Cautiously the child walked across a patch of grass and sat across from the man. He had been sitting almost motionless on the grass for what seemed like ages. Around his knees grew all kinds of plants, and at the touch of his hand they blossomed. "Why do you sit here and do nothing?" asked the child, her eyes glancing down at the man's knee. "Is that really what you came to ask?"
"Well, no. I just wanted to ask -"
The man raised his hand, and immediately the child's voice fell. "I know what you ask"
"How old is the earth?" inquired the child, her eyes remaining on the man's knee. "It is old, yet young. Time means nothing to me." The man slowly lowered his hand and began to caress the child's small legs, which were inches from his knee.
"But Jesus, how old is it really?"
"That is for me to know, Cloud" said the man, as his fingers began to creep closer to the end of the child's dress.
