Creationist: Dinosaur fossils where put here to test our fate.
Bill Hicks: .......I think you were put here to test my fate
:punch
Though I have to say, we weren't evolved from apes. The fuck was Darwin smoking when he suggested that?
god designed and created scientists, ergo intelligent design and creationism exist

It'll take time to properly purge this anti-intellectual stain from widespread belief our society. But it will happen in our lifetimes, I believe.
I live in a very traditional country and they teached evolution in my school, I didn't know about this creationist crap until I started posting on english message boards.
I was too busy praying yugioh during english.
But I'm latino, is cool for me to speak/write shitty ingles.

Considering the ape part of the theory would only risk my life further, so I chose not to even consider or think about it.Wait you were serious? lol
I'm turning these into T-shirts, so awesome
I'm not gonna adopt it just because people say I should, that won't make it different from those who dismiss it.Yes, but you accept evolution already. That makes it far more cofusing.
Humans didn't evolve from apes. Humans and apes share a common ancestor. That branching was like 7-8 million years ago.Ape like primate, ape is just a placeholder term. It's easier than saying like "Homo habilis" when you mean to describe this:

Wait, wait wait. If you say tell them you believe humans evolved from apes could that get you out of the arranged marriage? Shocked
The carbon dating system is a creation of the devil.
I always find it weird that people feel offended/disgusted that we evolved from primates/homo habilis/"apes". It's the opposite with me, I find it beautiful, fascinating and relaxing that we are so connected with other animals yet still different.Yeah, I always found the human link to other primates as really cool. I can't understand how it scares people to know we come from the same original species as apes. It's awesome.
I've always wanted to ask, how do Christian creationists describe Adam?
Actually both of them love that movie (the original of course, not the crappy remake). :Pmaybe god had different standards? Beauty is subjective, I read somewhere that primates like old females, because they're still fertile and are more experienced mothers than the young ones.I always find it weird that people feel offended/disgusted that we evolved from primates/homo habilis/"apes".
My people are mostly offended because God described his first human creation (Adam) as "perfect" and "beautiful".
And this...

QuoteI've always wanted to ask, how do Christian creationists describe Adam?
Just a dude who was coerced into sin by Eve.
Bible doesn't describe Adam's looks. Regardless, the origin story is a metaphor, not literal there is no Adam nor Eve. Even the Catholic Church recognizes that.
Really? So the whole story about them in the garden is also a metaphor and not mentioned in the bible?
The Quran has a lot of stuff about them, about their creation, their first sin, and their first kids (stuff that would make fistful blush).

Actually, he was standing right beside Eve when she was being tempted and did nothing.
Ok, this is very interesting. The number of similarities and differences.
I think Islam is supposed believe in most of the bible, just that it was originally the word of god but has been tainted by man. The Quran is pure though.Ok, this is very interesting. The number of similarities and differences.
As far as I know, Islam has some roots in Christianity.
All of that is in the bible but it is recognized as pure metaphor for most christians, not actual history.Bible doesn't describe Adam's looks. Regardless, the origin story is a metaphor, not literal there is no Adam nor Eve. Even the Catholic Church recognizes that.

like us hoomans, i thought (was taught at school) that the bible and quaran both evolved out of many other ancient stories (creation of the world , noahs ark etc were all lifted from elsewhere)Yes, most of those stories have been around far longer than either religion. Both religions took elements of ancient ones.

You really can't use that argument against them, while you guys say they "evolved" and "took elements", others say what were you expecting?
To them these are all historical facts and having been told before both religions only asserts to them that they really happened. It's when those stories break-out after the the religions started that they would get suspicious.
"If the story of **** really happened, why haven't I heard about it before now?". See what I mean?

Creationists like bringing up the universal relevance of the flood story but totally ignore the lack of any historical evidence of other major biblical stories. Like the 7 plagues, "Ramses", Jews building the pyramids...the entire story
Well if I'm not mistaken Muslims think that almost every religion (at least the ones they consider as true ie monotheistic) has told those "historical" events accurately but it was the people who altered and embellished those stories throughout the period between each religion's arrival, and when a new "true" monotheistic religion arrives, it (allegedly) sets the story straight.Then the cycle of altering and embellishment continues.
That's how the people I know explain the different versions.

i always thought you were a creationist. how religious are you?
Well, I not talking about the miracles and all that stuff with angels and the like that. Not the storybook character he has become over time. I meant Jesus as he really was as a historical figure and his message and preaching.
Mohammad was way cooler, not bringing dead people back, healing, and giving blind people their sight back cool, but like cool in a "I want to hang out with you" kind of way. I mean come on, angels enjoyed his company immensely.

A great human being, which sadly is one not appreaciated enough. There are many christians out there who pray to Jesus, have a little Jesus cross necklace and so forth but couldn't tell you shit about his actual message to humanity.
I know and that is a good thing. People like Mother Teresa and the like "got" Jesus. That is why I didn't say christians in general, like some holier than thou atheists at gaf would. I am just saying in my experience there are many oblivious to Jesus, the man yet worship him.
There are tons of charities in this country and abroad which follow his other messages.
If Gandhi is your guy, Cheebs, maybe you should spell his name correctly. :)Well he isn't. ;) I was just using him to show I don't think calling a historical figure someone who is from my side or whatever makes much sense.
I think my nigra is Lao Tse
Well duh, religion for most is just a team jersey for them to wear.Yep. Which is part of the reason why organized religion hurts my head, it often leads to that. Belief is God is fine, awesome, do as you please. But trying to focus on one organized official one as the one you follow as the "right" one is just so....small minded.
Expecting shitty irrational people who'll gravitate to things for shitty irrational reasons and then expect them to suddenly become good people is not realistic. Most take to religion so they can walk around with :smug <- this face all day.
^ Wait, are you sure you don't mean the serpent being Satan?
